[Comprehensive British and American Drama] Time and Space BUG Repairman

Jason Gideon used to be the soul of the entire BAU. He influenced everyone with his rich experience, professional and extensive knowledge, and wise and inclusive attitude.His departure has caused them confusion, but it is undeniable that everyone in the BAU team, including Rossi and Emily who joined after he left, have a deep admiration for him.If it was not a last resort, Garcia didn't want to use her ability to find people on her former boss.

Hotch handed over the task of communication and inquiry to Reid, because in Gideon's eyes, Reid is not only the youngest agent in the team, but also an existence like a family member and a junior.

Reid and Gideon chatted on the phone alone, during which Hotch and the others also returned to the headquarters with the video.

The video tape ended when Lin Sheng was tied to the stake. No one knew what happened after that, but they still didn't give up.

Lieutenant General Hillenkot waited with them in the meeting room.

"What kind of man is our Mr. Alex?" Rossi asked.

"I only know that he is a very good talent. In terms of professionalism, few people can match him."

The words "professionalism" said by the lieutenant general mean a lot, which means that "Alex Rayburn" not only possesses cunning wisdom, terrifying killing skills, but also vigilance and absolute determination accumulated over decades of espionage work. calm.

"It was only after he returned to China that I read his resume that I realized that there is such a hero in the United States—a hero who sacrificed everything for the honor and dignity of the country." The lieutenant general continued: "I am in charge of managing Alex Raeburn’s protection, treatment, etc. Huge bonuses, high-ranking military ranks, luxury villas on the west coast, 24-hour special security guards, top-notch medical care, the privilege of freely entering and leaving the White House... the second half of life without worrying about food and clothing .But I’d say it’s a drop in the bucket compared to what he’s done.”

"Since he is such an outstanding person, why was he recalled to the United States when he was only in his 30s?" Emily has never understood this point.

"It's 33 years old."

Emily nodded: "Isn't (the spy's) golden age?"

"For others it may be, for him..." the lieutenant general rubbed his forehead distressedly: "You should ask Jason, the person who suggested recalling him immediately after Rayburn's psychological evaluation two years ago."

"How to write the report?"

"...Extreme pressure, self-blame and hallucinations, doubts and confusion about the sense of honor will have unpredictable and dangerous consequences for the perpetrators. It is recommended to immediately recall Alex Rayburn and force him to undergo long-term psychological counseling intervention."

Motch caught the contradiction in the lieutenant general's words: "This is an assessment two years ago? But you just said that Rayburn just returned to the United States this year?!"

"Yes." The lieutenant general spread his hands helplessly: "There is no way, the task comes first. National honor is above everything else."

Motch was noncommittal about this: "Then he has been left in the Middle East for more than a year?"

The lieutenant general nodded: "Yes, even in such a high-pressure environment, Rayburn overcame his bad mental state and was perfectly competent for everything."

Rossi was about to say something more when Reid walked into the conference room after the phone call.

"How's Gideon?" the crowd asked.

"His physical condition is very good, his tone is calm and orderly, and his thinking is clear..." Reid first reported the current state of his old colleague with nostalgia, and then said very quickly: "Two years ago, Gideon gave Reber En had a long psychological evaluation, and although his written evaluation was perfect, Gideon always felt that something was wrong. You know, with Rayburn's... well, profession, it is not difficult to decipher that set of test questions .So Gideon applied for the opportunity to talk face-to-face with Rayburn, and of course, he guessed right."

"Did something happen in the Middle East?"

Reid nodded: "Gideon also thinks so, but no matter what method he uses to ask Rayburn, he refuses to speak. Because of this, the result of the evaluation in desperation can only be to recommend that Rayburn be recalled, but because he is in the Middle East His role was so important that the military did not immediately adopt the report, but called him back when everything was done."

Emily does not agree with this approach. In fact, no one in BAU understands the terrible results that people in extreme changes will lead to: "If Gideon's assessment was used at that time, and a psychiatrist intervened to treat Rayburn, maybe What's happening now won't happen."

The lieutenant general glanced at Emily: "You have also stayed in the Middle East for several years, Miss Emily, you should understand that although it is not a paradise, what does it mean to someone who has lived there for more than 20 years? It is a barrier, a shield. It is also a battlefield, a sharp knife. Rayburn's contribution in such an environment is obvious to all. His flesh, body, blood, and bone marrow have adapted to the power struggle, fanatical violence, The worship of war...survival is addictive, and a buffer is needed to return natural warriors to a peaceful life."

"Maybe an innocent girl lost her life because of your buffer."

The lieutenant general glanced at Man who was speaking, and shrugged his shoulders: "Why don't you think—it's because of this year's buffer time that Rayburn was prevented from destroying the earth?"

"..." Everyone was speechless at such logic.

Just when Reid, who was interrupted, opened his mouth to continue speaking, the lieutenant general's cell phone rang.

He frowned. His number was very personal.Surprised anyone would know and call him at this hour.

He connected the phone, and after listening for two seconds, the expression on his face changed from surprise to surprise.

He pressed the release button without hesitation—

"Hello, my name is Lin Sheng, and I am one of the kidnapped girls. Mr. Rayburn asked me to call you. Excuse me, is it convenient for us to meet up somewhere? There are some very important things, and he wants you to do it right away. Decide."

=================================================================== ==========================

After Lin Sheng told her where she was, the police detectives closest to her rushed there as quickly as possible and escorted the girl to the FBI headquarters—the office building where the BAU is located.

"Oh, poor girl." Garcia couldn't help saying when she saw the disheartened Lin Sheng, and she didn't hesitate to show off all her private collections - piles of snacks and desserts.

Reid served a cup of hot chocolate milk with a rich aroma, which was also placed on the table with the snacks.

Emily took out a new towel, she often worked overtime and even stayed overnight in the building, and took her toiletries with her.She washed it out with hot water and wiped the girl's face and hands.

All the elites of the BAU team gathered in the small conference room at once, and even Hotch and Lieutenant General Hirenkot, who came to the conference room to listen, were not in a hurry to inquire about the case.

Such a young girl, she has just experienced a horror that adults can't imagine, let her relax in just a few minutes.

The girl sat quietly at the table, her face was wiped clean, revealing her fair skin, her soft but smoked long hair draped over her shoulders, like a Chinese doll.The hill of snacks in front of her was very high, she took a sip of chocolate milk, then looked at Reid: "Can I have a cup of coffee?"

"Eh..." The young doctor disagreed, and he opened his mouth and yelled out a long reason: "Strictly speaking, you have not slept for nearly 24 hours. Drinking coffee at this time will cause your metabolism to be too fast and consume your body. Vitamin B group, which is related to the coordination of nerves and muscles, although it can temporarily boost your spirits, it overdraws your health and makes you more tired."

Lin Sheng blinked, and after a few seconds, he said, "This...Mr. Police?"

"Spencer Reid, BAU profiler... Just call me Reid." Seeing that Lin Sheng didn't know how to address himself, he introduced himself.Originally, I wanted to habitually add my pile of degrees, but after thinking about it, I stopped.

Nodding her head, Lin Sheng wiped the fine beads of sweat from her forehead - she suffered from hypoglycemia after being hungry all day.

"Reid, I have a lot of things I want to tell you, but to be honest... just your piece of information about coffee just now took my brain to process for several seconds. In order to let us do our best to The hostages were successfully rescued..." She paused, and passed the chocolate milk cup to him: "Please, add sugar and milk, make it thicker!"

================================================== ======

Eight minutes later, Lin Sheng, who drank 8 cups of coffee and ate two small cakes, was still alive. She stared at Reid and looked back. She was very young to be a BAU profiler. envious.

So in the eyes of everyone, the girl became hyperactive, her heart beat faster, her breath was short, and her eyes were shining, staring at little Dr. Reid.Under such simple(?) admiring(?) enthusiastic(?) eyes, the little doctor was embarrassed and didn't know where to put his gaze.

What?Is this the same response to drinking too much coffee?Oh~ I hate it, don't spoil the scenery!

Detectives who have been immersed in various heavy-tasting cases for a long time, most of them indulge their imagination and gossip in private, and relax properly.

But that doesn't mean they will forget about their business. Looking at the red-faced little doctor, Hotch saw that the girl had regained her strength and was able to calmly state the facts, so he interrupted everyone's good-natured jokes, and asked in as soft a voice as possible: " You said on the phone that there are some very important things that you want us to decide quickly, what is that?"

Hearing this, everyone's expressions turned serious, but considering that the person being questioned was not a criminal but a victim, and it was such a young girl, the detectives, especially the female detectives, still looked at Lin Sheng kindly.

"Mr. Raeburn asked me to ask Lieutenant General Hillencott a question first."

The lieutenant general who was named sat on a chair and poked his head out: "What's the problem?"

"Do you know where your immediate supervisor is now, who has been missing for two days?"

The girl's tone was blunt, without any emotional fluctuations, but the lieutenant general who heard this sentence quickly stood up: "What did you say?!"

"Hey, calm down." Man stopped the lieutenant general from walking towards Lin Sheng excitedly, and looked at her: "What's going on here?"

The girl lowered her head: "I was also puzzled when he said this to me, but after seeing your reaction, Lieutenant General, I finally understood... The target of revenge he told me was actually that person Sir."

Before anyone could ask again, Lin Sheng took out a delicate pocket watch: "Mr. Rayburn entrusted me to give it to the lieutenant general."

Hillencott took the pocket watch, and after carefully identifying it, he asked in disbelief: "He really kidnapped...how is this possible!?"

Kidnap? ——The girl moved her lips and said these two words silently: "No, this is his game."

"What game?" Hotch had a rather bad feeling.

"It's a game called choice." Lin Sheng suddenly felt a pain in his throat: "The place where we were detained was actually a large container, the kind we often see at the docks. It has always been like hundreds of thousands of similar containers. Other cargo boxes were piled together in the wharf cargo yard. When we were in the cage, we never heard the horns of the cargo ships around us, because of the sound insulation layer. This is because after he released me, I compared the inside from the outside guessed after the size of the space."

Hotch nodded, encouraging Lin Sheng to continue her statement with approving eyes, and no one interrupted her train of thought.

"Mr. Raeburn released me to spread the word. He told me that the container containing three of my friends was about to be transported to the Atlantic Ocean by a long-distance freighter. How long do you live?"

The girl paused her statement and looked at the lieutenant general, as if she wanted him to give her an answer.

"Those with a strong physique can last for more than a week. As for them..." The lieutenant general didn't continue, the answer was too cruel.

Lin Sheng lowered his head: "Only Rayburn knows which cargo ship transported them away. There is no water or food in the container. If we leave it alone, we may have to wait until the cargo ship arrives in ten days or even two weeks." Hong Kong can... find them."

The lieutenant general nodded, and after a brief silence he asked, "What about the owner of this pocket watch? Where is he?"

"He is in the custody of Rayburn himself."

After Lin Sheng finished speaking, before the lieutenant general could speak again, Man suddenly guessed his trick, and he was disgusted by his guess.

If Rayburn stood in front of him now, he would have dismantled him into parts with his bare hands!

Man gritted his teeth and said, "Does that bastard let us decide whether to save the three girls drifting in the Atlantic Ocean? Or to save an intelligence officer?"

Lin Sheng nodded slowly: "When that pocket watch reaches 1 o'clock in the morning, he will listen to your opinions."

It's half an hour to one.

Raeburn's second game has begun.
