Chapter 446 Cohabitation and New Cases
"Just the news of a prison break scared you like this?"
Jack expressed doubts about this. Among the women he knew in this life, if there was any one who could possibly live his whole life without finding a man or getting married, it was probably Emily.
The so-called contemporary independent woman refers to the person in front of her. There must be other reasons for scaring her so much that she ran away with the cat overnight.
"I came home the night before and found that my house might have been broken into." Emily felt guilty as she spoke.
"Night before last?" Jack scratched the little black cat's belly, causing the latter to purr from its throat.
"Don't tell me that I haven't slept for the past two nights and just guarded the door with a gun. While reminiscing about my youth, I was always ready to shoot the uninvited guest who came to the door, right?"
Looking at the two big black bags under her eyes, Jack seriously doubted that he had guessed correctly.
Emily became angry and snatched the little black cat back, "Yes, you guessed it right. I don't dare to let myself be so nervous anymore. Look at my nails, they are almost gnawed bald by me. "
Jack looked around the office. Although there were bathrooms and sofas here, it was not impossible to make do, but after all, it was not a long-term solution.
"So, when are you going to tell others?" That means Rhett has been away for the past two days, otherwise he should have discovered something was wrong with this eldest sister.
Among the six people in the BAU group, everyone has a good relationship, but Red usually plays the most with Emily.
Emily's eyes became a little wandering, "I haven't thought about it yet. I originally planned to book a hotel with a fake identity early tomorrow morning."
"Then when one of us is shot or hijacked by a bad guy, you tell the truth? Or maybe you realize something is wrong and run away immediately, leaving everyone confused to clean up the mess for you? Although we have only been together for a year, I believe You wouldn’t do that, would you?”
Jack's pretense of being mean made Emily cover her face and cry out, "Damn it, are you a monster? I'm already nervous enough, please let me go."
This is really not Jack's nonsense. In fact, screenwriters all over the world basically follow these routines. In order to set up suspense or advance the plot, they have to forcibly reduce the intelligence and make the characters do some irrational behaviors.
After 9/11, although DHS took away some of its anti-terrorism powers, the main force in dealing with domestic terrorists, or in other words, the dirty work, was still the FBI.
Is there anyone more professional than the FBI in dealing with terrorists? Only a fool would leave the organization and fight alone with these guys.
"Let's go, you will live in my house during this period, Sergio will be used as rent, and you must be jerked off by me at any time."
Jack stood up and snatched the little black cat again. This good-tempered little guy was named Sergio, which means loyal servant. It was a gift given to Emily after she was shot last time.
He thought for a while, then entered the password to open the gun library, took out a weapon box with two Noveske N4s inside, and then sent a message to Rossi and asked him to meet at his home.
Throwing the weapon box in the back seat of the car, he opened the closed trunk and put Emily's luggage in. Jack drove the "Mammoth" and took Emily home directly. He planned to find the technical team tomorrow A colleague checked her car thoroughly.
"Tap! Surprise!" Jack opened the door, and Hannah, who was wearing a fawn COS costume, startled him. Emily, who was holding the cat behind her and rubbing her sore eyelids, had her eyes widened.
"Well, something happened to Emily. She may have to stay at my place for a few days." The scene was a little awkward for a while.
"Ah, haha, Christmas is coming, you know." Hannah said this to Emily.
Knowing that there was something serious, she kissed Jack on the cheek, winked at him and ran back to the room to change clothes.
"I'll prepare a guest room for you." Someone fled under Emily's meaningful gaze. Sometimes he was much thinner-skinned than the girls.
An hour later, Rosie also arrived. Jack grabbed some food and the four of them sat around the dining table, chatting while eating.
Emily briefly introduced her experience that year. The "JTF-12" task force back then was jointly formed by agents from multiple countries, including secret departments from Britain, France, Germany and other countries.
"JTF-12" is responsible for conducting background checks and psychological profiling on terrorists, and obtaining intelligence through undercover and other methods. However, they are not responsible for arresting them, but are handled by the country where the terrorists are located.
This is where the problem lies. The last case that "JTF-12" was responsible for was what Emily said before, Ian Doyle, the leader of a terrorist organization nicknamed "Valhalla" and related to the Northern Irish Republican Army. .
Emily spent two years with him as an undercover agent and obtained enough intelligence. Finally, the British intelligence agency arrested him and put him in a secret prison.
Emily also successfully faked her death and escaped. Exhausted physically and mentally, she returned to the United States, joined the FBI, and became a member of the BAU. Then more than a year ago, she was selected by Rossi and became a member of the action team.
She originally thought she had successfully gotten rid of this unbearable past, but she didn't expect that not long ago, Clyde East, the captain of the "JTF-12" task force, suddenly contacted her.
Clyde East informed Emily that Ian Doyle successfully escaped from a secret prison in an Eastern European country after being imprisoned for 7 years, and then disappeared.
Jack calculated with his fingers. In other words, when Emily participated in the operation, she was only in her mid-twenties. No wonder she got passionate so easily and was tricked into working as an undercover agent.
He believed that Emily must have hidden some secrets that she had not revealed, perhaps because they involved privacy, or because they were confidential contents of the operation back then, but there was no need to delve into it now.
What Jack has to do now is to protect her safety, and leave the rest to Rosie. He will use resources to first obtain some relevant intelligence and assess the risks.
No matter whether you are setting up a trap or taking the initiative, you must find a way to solve this problem as soon as possible. As the old saying goes, you can only be a thief for a thousand days, but there is no reason to prevent a thief for a thousand days.
A few days later, Rhett's vacation ended and Hotchner came to the office in a wheelchair. Rossi called everyone into the conference room and briefly informed them about Emily's situation.
More intelligence is still being collected, but as Emily learned before, Ian Doyle is indeed planning something, and the CIA discovered his traces in Mexico not long ago.
Doyle recruited some militants and several former subordinates, wandered among several local DU cartel groups, and seemed to be secretly accumulating strength.
In view of the current situation where leakage at the border between the two countries is no different from that of a sieve, Rossi asked everyone to be more vigilant, travel in pairs at least to handle cases in the near future, and be aware of suspicious situations around you at all times.
Of course, there was still work to be done. Two days later, Jiejie received a request for help from the LAPD. There had been a number of missing and murdered women recently, and she hoped that the BAU team would intervene.
"Is this the first case we have handled in Los Angeles?" Jack felt that Rosie was really wise to set up the team here, and it saved the bureau a lot of plane fuel costs.
Rossi was also speechless. He sighed and complained, "Can anyone remind me why this place is called the 'City of Angels'?"
"In fact, the original name here comes from the Spanish explorers, who called the first town established here the 'Town of the Angels of Our Lady of Our Lady'."
Rhett corrected him seriously, and then under the gaze of everyone, he belatedly realized that he had said the wrong thing again.
"That sentence just now was actually a rhetorical question, right?"
"I really don't know what part of you lovely Laila likes." Rosie rolled her eyes speechlessly.
Jiejie watched the interaction between the old and the young with a smile, turned on the projector, and gave a reminder before playing the photo data.
"This case is rather weird. It's best for you to be mentally prepared before seeing the photos."
