24th

"Wow, state-of-the-art composite bulletproof glass?! Let me try." Gloria stood up from her chair.

Then, I glanced at the SWAT players standing with guns on the left and right sides of the glass box.Suddenly, with his right hand clenched into a fist, he made a lightning-like jab and hit the glass box in front of him impartially, "Boom..."

"Hey, what on earth do you want to do? If you still want to do this, we will take compulsory measures against you." The FBI official standing not far away said loudly.

"I'm sure you'd do that. Look, what's this?" Gloria smiled and pointed to the spot on the bulletproof glass where she had hit it.

"Hey... Hey..." At this time, a few slight cracks appeared on the bulletproof glass.

"God, how did she do it?" The FBI officer stared in disbelief and whispered to the plainclothes agent next to him.

"Sir, I don't know. I think it's time to increase the security level," the agent said.As soon as the voice fell, a long siren sounded throughout the basement.

At 8:48 a.m. the next day, Gloria remained in her box, even though the FBI raised the security alert level for her.Since I had nothing to do, I started "indoor" fitness activities after waking up at 6 o'clock in the morning.

At this time, the alarm sounded again in the basement, but this time the alarm light was yellow.This means that Gloria can be temporarily exposed to the air.

After a few seconds, the entire glass box slowly slid back.She enjoys prison inmate "wind time" with little to no walking or staying still on the floor.

"NEP1, look who this is?" The FBI officer from yesterday introduced a person beside her.

"Um, NEP1, nice to see you again." Dr. Kevin Watkins said with a smile on his face.

"Well, Dr. Watkins, CDC, hello."

"I'm sorry, but I should have come to Los Angeles last night."

"It's okay. There was something wrong with the glass box last night. The FBI probably wants to notify you after it's fixed."

Kevin shook his head, "I didn't expect that in less than two days, your ability has exceeded my imagination."

Gloria smiled. "You're welcome, Doctor. Well, I didn't think of that either."

Several plainclothes agents standing in the distance approached, and Agent Glenn Schofield of the Miami branch said, "Good morning, NEP1. Well, I don't understand how you got back to California? Why did the NSA , CIA and FBI didn't detect your whereabouts?"

"Well, got a jetliner and jumped from 3 feet, that's all."

"God! You jumped out of the plane without a parachute?"

"Of course I used it, but I didn't use other equipment for skydiving."

NCIS agent Raphael Magnussen could hardly believe his ears, "No! As far as I know, there is no one in this world who can skydive without using oxygen equipment."

Gloria nodded, "Actually, I don't believe I can do this either. However, due to time constraints, I can only choose this way to go home."

"This is simply crazy! It's amazing! It's wonderful!" Raphael used several words to describe the other party.

"Thank you. If I just fell to my death, you can stop searching for me." Gloria said.

"Okay, gentlemen. Please give me and NEP1 a little time, okay?" Kevin said calmly.

As everyone else present exited the surveillance area, Gloria said, "Please sit down, Doctor."

Kevin sat on a chair across from her unhurriedly, "Okay. So, the reason you escaped from the CDC was to meet your family?"

"Well, you're not quite right. But, that's my main purpose."

"Of course, this is your right. But why did you come to Los Angeles and surrender to the FBI?"

"I am a Marine with a happy family, a wife and children, and I must not sacrifice everything for my freedom."

"Well said, I believe you, Captain."

"But you should know what you did on the way home."

"Well, I'm an adult, and I should indeed be responsible for my actions."

"Uh, what would you do if I made you sign a plea deal?" Kevin asked.

"What kind of plea deal?" Gloria asked rhetorically.

"If you are willing to work for the federal government, I can apply to the president and the federal justice to dismiss the charges against you on 35 counts."

"With so many charges, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of federal prison in my life."

"Captain, even if you really wanted to go to a federal prison, I'm sure they can't keep you. Right?"

"Doctor, do you think I'm a superwoman?"

Kevin laughed, "In my opinion, you are not much worse than her."

Gloria nodded, "Fuck you! Well, I'll only consider your suggestion if the charges are dropped."
