Meet the father-in-law [Comprehensive]

-Brudhaven, 2015-

"...Repeat! A police officer is injured! We need emergency support!"

Hodge finished his report quickly and increased the pressure on his hands.Blood kept gushing from the detective's abdomen, and the viscous liquid flowed through his hands in bursts. The feeling was so frightening, as if his vitality was also drained along with it.

—Damn it, that unknown suspect!

Three days ago, bau arrived in Trenton, New Jersey, to help the local police track down a serial murder case.The criminal method of the unknown suspect is simple, efficient and sophisticated. They spent a lot of effort and investigated many places. Of course, with a little bit of luck, they finally managed to find the lair of the unknown suspect three hours ago: An abandoned industrial area in Brudhaven's East Harbor.

But the capture operation encountered an unexpected accident!In their profile, the unknown suspect is a person who is extremely conceited about his technology, and all the evidence shows that he acted alone—but in this abandoned industrial area, there are at least dozens of people with weapons gangster!

The detective who was shot in the abdomen fell into a coma due to massive blood loss, and Hodge and Ben couldn't feel his pulse.The man could only continue to press the wound with his right hand in vain, while holding the gun in his left hand, he watched the surrounding situation vigilantly.

He seemed to hear something just now, it seemed to be——

"Damn!"

Hodge rolled on the ground abruptly, barely dodging a burst of bullets, but his speed was still not fast enough, and his left leg throbbed... However, he was lucky, it should only be a bruise.

However, if he has been stuck in such a disadvantage...

The dense bullets swept towards his hiding place again. Under the suppression of firepower, Hodge could hardly move.Such a crazy and random attack does not fit the profile of an unknown suspect at all-this is not a struggle between bau and a serial killer at all, this is a grudge between the Bludhaven Police Department and a local gang!

"Oh, boy, the pronoun of cowards!" The thug with the gun stood in the dark and laughed, his tone full of disdain, "Brudhaven is not a place where you can come and go freely!"

The gun went off again, and Hodge tried to stay as far as possible from the bullets.This abandoned industrial area is very large, and no one thought that there would be gangsters appearing here... With the police scattered, he couldn't count on support at all!

At this moment, Hodge suddenly heard a man's shrill scream not far away, and some people were wailing intermittently, either "night" or "knight", or..."devil" ? !

--what's the situation? !

"Damn it, it's that pervert in tights again!" The thug's attention was distracted for a moment, and then he held a gun and approached Hodge's hiding place step by step, "Don't worry, cop, I will deal with you first Yes! You deserve to die here, buried face down in a stinking ditch—”

The bullet pierced the air and whizzed past. At the same moment, the gangster's voice stopped suddenly, and Hodge heard the dull sound of him falling on the ground.

"FBI! Who's there?!"

When the threat was lifted, Hodge didn't run out of his hiding place immediately, but stayed where he was and roared loudly.Just now, that was a one-shot kill. A sharpshooter, he will not expose himself at will until he finds out the identity of the opponent.

Someone jumped from a high place outside. The workshop is opposite to a warehouse. That person should have shot from the roof... a sniper.

"Aaron Hotchner?"

The sniper was so uncharacteristically light that Hodge could barely hear him—no, her walking.

Another accident tonight, the person who called him by his full name... turned out to be a woman!

Hodge rushed out of hiding and pointed his gun at the opponent.She was standing outside the gate of the workshop, her tall and fit figure was outlined by the moonlight.Hodge couldn't see her face clearly, he only noticed that she was not wearing body armor, and she was still holding a gun casually like a bag in her right hand.

After the man rushed out, she slowly put the gun on the ground, and then raised her hands up without hesitation to show no threat.

"My name is Elied Pennyworth, and I'm here to help you."

"Thank goodness! You're all right! I'm so worried, Hodge!"

In front of the police car, Hodge was angrily confronting Commissioner Smith of the Bludhaven Police Station. Hearing someone's voice, he waved to the chief irritably. He suppressed his anger and turned his head away, showing a calming smile to the other party. laugh.

The man who rushed over anxiously was Derek Morgan, a black man with a strong figure and great personal charm.He stared at Director Smith with a worried expression, and was about to speak when Hodge raised his hand to stop him.

"As we just said, Director Smith," Hodge said with an extremely oppressive expression, "you have concealed some information that should not have been concealed, resulting in the casualties of many police officers-I guarantee that someone will investigate! "

Hodge's voice was stern, and his expression was even more fierce.Chief Smith glanced at him and Morgan gloomyly, spat angrily, turned and left haughtily without saying a word.

"Son of a bitch, I've never seen—"

"That's enough, Morgan," Hodge interrupted Morgan's cursing in a deep voice, looking around as he said, "How are you doing?"

"Emily and Rosie were lucky enough to bypass the ambush, and Rhett and I encountered fire resistance at the southeast corner of the complex, but... to be honest, I always thought they were just urban legends! Hodge, can you Believe it? We met the city's vigilante, a man in uniform with a blue 'v' on his chest! The local police call him 'nightwing'."

Hodge immediately thought of the wailing and screams he had heard before, and it seemed that "Nightwing" appeared at that time.

"On Bludhaven's official record, he's just a criminal who can't be apprehended - and I'm personally grateful for his help."

Hodge didn't stop looking around when he spoke, and Morgan quickly noticed his abnormality: "What's wrong?"

"I met a sniper and she saved me. But she's not from the FBI—"

"Wait," Morgan interrupted Hodge with a surprised expression, "I heard that right, are you talking about her? Her?"

"Yes, it was her, a woman—I saw her, there."

Following Hodge's line of sight, Morgan looked back sideways, and soon found the person he mentioned.

It was a tall woman with a well-built figure, and her long black hair was tied up high, making her look very young, even a bit childish.She was wearing a plain black T-shirt, overalls and tactical boots, with no police uniform or bulletproof vest.She doesn't have any props on her to prove her identity, but Morgan is 100% sure that Hodge is talking about her.

Seemingly noticing the gaze of the two, she glanced this way and walked straight over.

"Look at her posture," Hodge lowered his voice, and stopped. "She is definitely not from the Bludhaven Police Department."

Just by looking at the woman's walking posture, she must have undergone long-term and rigorous training. Even though her posture is relaxed and her steps are light, her body language clearly shows caution and vigilance.She also tied a saber on the outside of her left leg. The whole body was pitch black, and it was of a familiar and unfamiliar style. It should be a custom-made product.

A very confident left-hander who makes no secret of his special status.

"Hi, I'm Derek Morgan, thank you very much for helping us."

"Eliad Pennyworth."

Elide's attitude seemed very cold, which frustrated Morgan, who had always been conceited of his personal charm.What frustrates him even more is that the young and beautiful black-haired woman quickly shifted her gaze to Hodge, and there was a bit of pure joy in her voice.

"I'm glad you're all right, Ya--Agent Hotchner."[1]
