[Comprehensive British and American Drama] Vibrant Soul

The joy of Beth being rescued did not completely dilute the uneasiness in Hozzie's heart.

Hodge tried his best to suppress all the negative emotions in his heart, just to make Beth more at ease at this moment.

He had just settled down with Beth, but unexpectedly received another text message from an unknown number.

"In 5 minutes, Jidia Station."

There was no unnecessary nonsense, only a few short words, but these short words made Huo Qi frowned again.

This is a place only four and a half minutes drive away from where I am, and this is the result of getting in the car immediately and driving at full speed.

In terms of time, it was too late to re-adjust the deployment by ourselves.

Without extra thought, Hodge immediately jumped into his black SUV, and drove away at full speed while dialing the number.

"Hodge, what happened?" Booth in the temporary headquarters had just received a report from the on-site personnel.

"Sorry, the other party just sent a text message, the agreed time is ahead of schedule, and the location has been completely changed." While Hodge was speaking, he forwarded a copy of the text message to Booth and Harold with one hand, "Before The other party must have been observing our actions, and our action pattern has been mastered by the other party."

"In 5 minutes, it's really too late to temporarily adjust the deployment. Do you have any countermeasures?" Booth frowned after seeing the content of the text message.

"The other party doesn't seem to want to give me time to think at all." Huo Qi, who was driving at full speed, kept overtaking the car with concentration. On the road to the target location, the traffic volume began to increase obviously. Looking at the passing time, Huo Qi had no choice but to turn on the double flashing lights, and rushed forward roaring all the way.

"The support team will be in place soon, Hodge, we must persevere." Booth no longer knew what to say to make more sense to Hodge.

"I will, leave the rest to me, Booth." Hodge gritted his teeth.

"Don't worry." Booth hung up the phone.

When Huo Qi rushed to the periphery of Jidia Station, it was only ten seconds before the agreed time. Huo Qi had no choice but to make an emergency stop on the side of the road, and then jumped out of the car and immediately ran towards the station at full speed .

Panting, Hodge finally arrived at Jidia Station at the designated time. However, seeing the crowds of people around him, Hodge couldn't help frowning.

"This is tricky." At the same moment, Booth, who saw the same scene through the camera signal transmitted by Harold in real time in the temporary headquarters, couldn't help feeling a headache.

"It's early morning working hours, and the flow of people is too large, so it's difficult to scan and identify everyone." Harold tried his best to compare the teenagers who were about the same age as Jack within the range of the camera, but the huge amount of work The amount made Harold's forehead drip with sweat.

"Come on, Harold, we can only rely on you." Booth had just finished talking with the support team, and the conclusion that was similar to Harold's made Booth's face look bad.

"Agent Booth, Agent Hodge's cell phone is ringing." Harold started the phone monitoring program without waiting for Booth's order.

"I'm Huo Qi." After Huo Qi took out the phone, he saw the "unknown number" on the caller ID, and immediately understood what it was, and picked up the phone.

"It's a great honor, Agent Hodge, you were able to come here on time as agreed." The obviously changed voice was indistinguishable.

"Where are you now?" Although he didn't know the specific deployment of Harold and Booth, Hodge still started to delay the time very tacitly.

"We will meet when necessary, Agent Hodge." With a harsh sneer, the other party hung up the phone.

At the same time, a text message from an "unknown number" came again in Huo Qi's mobile phone.

"The trash can at the third exit of the subway station."

Hodge didn't want to waste time, and while forwarding the text message to Booth and Harold, he accelerated his pace and headed for the target location.

"SONOFABITCH!" Booth, who knew the call time was too short, couldn't help but swear without Harold needing to explain.

Hodge's text message soon came to Booth. After the same content, there was an extra sentence: "He is mobilizing us, the support personnel must be careful. This may be a trap."

"Detective Booth, someone has also hacked into the traffic camera system." Harold, who had been busy all the time, suddenly noticed something was wrong.

"Can you find out where they are?" Booth came to Harold's computer and leaned over to see it.

"It will take some time. The other party is not easy to deal with. I am already doing my best." Harold said without raising his head.

"Please, Harold." Booth clenched his right fist tightly.

Hodge found nothing plausible in the designated bin.

"Hodge, what's the matter?" Booth, who saw this scene through the camera, contacted Hodge in time.

"There's nothing suspicious in the dumpster," Hodge mused.

"What about the back of the trash can and on the trash can?" Booth was anxious.

"Nothing was found behind the trash can. As for the trash can, there is only a map of the Washington Metro station printed on the box of the trash can, and there are no special signs on the map." Hodge said while observing, "And here It seems that the trash cans are all the same..." At this point, Hodge, who had just moved his eyes to the other trash can, seemed to think of something.

"The trash can at the third exit of the subway station." The content of the text message flashed in Hodge's mind, and Hodge immediately set his sights on the Washington Metro station map on the trash bin, and began to search for all the place names related to the third.

However, to Huo Qi's regret, there is no station name related to San on the subway station map.

"The third exit. The third?! The third!" After thinking again, Hodge understood something, and his eyes immediately locked on the third station from Jidia Station on the subway station map. : Weisserd Station.

"Hodge? Hodge?!" Booth, who had not received a response from Hodge, kept calling Hodge's name.

"Booth, it's Weisserd Station." Hearing the voice of the broadcast from the platform, Hodge quickened his pace and ran towards the platform.

"Everyone also gathers towards the Weserd Station immediately. Remember, don't arouse suspicion from others, and don't get too close. Pay attention to the level of support!" Booth hastily changed the deployment of the support team.

"Agent Booth, I have tracked down the address where the traffic camera system was hacked!" Harold gave effective information in time.

"Really?!" Booth was overjoyed, "Harold, you send the address to the data terminals of the No.20 and 34 teams immediately."

"Got it." Harold complied.

"22, 34, I am the interim commander Cerebus, and now I order you to follow the address given to you, immediately go to outflank the suspect, remember, maybe the hostage is at this place now, we must first ensure the safety of the hostage." Booth began to pack his equipment while giving the order.

"Agent Booth, you?" Harold looked at Booth.

"I'll leave it to you and Tiantian for the time being, Harold, Victor just called, his inspection has been completed, and he will be here soon." Booth finished packing, "This mission , I must lead the team, and I can’t always leave everything to Hodge alone.”

Harold: "Yes, please be careful."

Huo Qi, who had already boarded the subway, carefully observed his surroundings while thinking about the other party's purpose.

Ten minutes have passed since the last text message was received, but the other party didn't seem to intend to make the next instruction, and Hodge didn't find any suspicious behavior in the subway car where Hodge is now. The character is spying or stalking himself.

Hodge, who was constantly moving around in each compartment, had just finished talking to Harold and knew that Booth had already left for the address he had discovered.

It's not that Hodge doesn't believe in the abilities of Booth and Harold, it's just that the other party's strange behavior and unclear intentions make Hodge suspicious of every situation that arises now.

Huo Qi felt very uncomfortable in such a situation that was enough to shake his confidence.

"Dad." In the noisy environment of the carriage, a slight boy suddenly got into Huo Qi's ear.

"Jack?" Hodge immediately recognized the owner of the voice, he couldn't believe it, and began to look around.

"Dad, help me." There was another clearer call, although it was unbelievable, but Huo Qi immediately followed the sound and moved in the car.

"Harold, the suspect and Jack seem to be in the car, please help me find it immediately." Hodge urgently contacted Harold.

"What?!" Harold seemed very surprised by Hodge's judgment. He had already performed face recognition on everyone in the car just now. Although he didn't believe that he would make a mistake, he immediately started again. Do the same work.

"Father, I..." Huo Qi, who was looking for him, immediately heard a voice from the crowd in front of him.And the third sound seemed to be coming out when it was immediately covered tightly by something.

"Jack?! I'm here!" Hodge squeezed through the crowd, with his right hand already on the handle of the gun.

"!" As for Harold on this side, the second facial recognition inside the compartment had just ended. Seeing the empty result, Harold immediately guessed what it was.

As soon as Harold wanted to contact Hodge, he immediately saw the same scene through the real-time link:

Hodge, who was moving forward in the subway car, was aimed at by the pistol that had just been raised from the crowd on one side of the car.

"Agent Hodge." "Agent Hodge!"

Huo Qi immediately heard two voices with completely different tones calling his name.

Hodge turned his head instinctively, but the moment he turned his head, the raised pistol was immediately pulled the trigger.

"boom--!"

Hodge fell down.

The crowd in the carriage who hadn't understood what had happened immediately became dissatisfied with Huo Qi who fell on him.

"Bang—bang—!" The gunman did not wait for Huo Qi to fall completely, and immediately followed up with two consecutive grabs. The part of Huo Qi's body other than the bulletproof vest immediately had two more bleeding holes.

"Ah——! Wow——!" Amidst countless screams that had just come to their senses, the subway arrived at Weserd Station.

The moment the subway door opened, the shooter who was already standing by the door pushed down the very low brim of his hat again, then quickly walked off the subway, and at the moment the subway door was about to close, put a The grenade was defused and thrown into the compartment.

"boom--!"

Before the screams in the carriage fell, amidst the dull explosion, the carriage was immediately silent.

Amidst the siren that sounded immediately on the platform broadcast and the sharp sound of the automatic emergency braking system of the subway, the figure of the shooter quickly disappeared at the exit of the subway station that was still not completely closed.

Harold and Tiantian, who watched all this happen through the real-time link, and the two people who witnessed this tragic situation for the first time, immediately froze in place.
