Chapter 571 Another cliche

"What do you think?" Jack turned to look at the two SWAT members who came with him. One of them was a demolition expert and the other was a tactics expert.

"We have special demolition explosives. It's not a problem to blow a hole and then rappel in. However, it is best to conduct actual combat simulations." The two team members whispered to each other and said they could try it.

"Sorry, gentlemen, although this is just for display, the cost is exactly the same as the real thing. I can't help it... uh..." Doll Jonson's smile froze on his face.

Although he is very happy to cooperate with the FBI, after all, this is the best promotion for his own products, but the other party's attitude of tearing down the place can't help but make him feel a little hurt.

"Quote a price and the FBI will write you a check." Jack's words restored his smile.

The SWAT team members will stay here temporarily. They will call other people to bring their equipment for actual combat testing to confirm whether the hostages can be safe during actual operations. After making these arrangements, Jack will drive back to the Kirken family villa.

He also conveniently copied a copy of the safe house design the other party sent him and passed it on to Justin. This security company still had something to offer, and he planned to keep it for reference. Some of the designs could be used on his small farm. Just think of it as a small use of power for personal gain.

When Jack returned to the villa, Hannah also happened to return. She found the apartment manager where Helton lived, who confirmed that Stephanie was indeed Helton's biological daughter.

The three of them gathered together and opened the communication video with Dana Moge who was sitting in the combat center.

"Stephanie's biological mother had a relationship with Helton before he joined the army, and after giving birth to her, she married a drug addict." Hannah's expression was quite difficult to explain when recounting this story.

"So the person Stephanie thought was her father died of a drug overdose when she was 10 years old. Her mother also became seriously ill last year and contacted Helton again before she died to tell him the truth."

"So it was Stephanie's mother who entrusted her to Helton, and Helton did take over this responsibility. After her death, Helton took care of Stephanie for half a year?"

Jubal suddenly realized, "No wonder we can't confirm the true relationship between the two in Stephanie's birth certificate or Helton's record."

"Yes, and according to the apartment manager, Helton is the best tenant she has ever seen. He often volunteers to help her with some maintenance work. Stephanie also has a very good relationship with her. They often spend time together. chat."

Hannah continued, “I saw Stephanie’s bedroom, the master bedroom, and it was very cozy, and considering Helton’s job as a maintenance man, I had to admit that I was wrong about him.

He was very considerate of his daughter who appeared out of nowhere. This guy is a good person. "

It was the comment about good people again. Jack scratched his head silently, but the world did not seem to be very friendly to good people.

"So what's the problem? Does the apartment manager know the whereabouts of Stephanie?" Jubal asked eagerly, with less than an hour left.

Hannah sighed, which was why her expression was so indescribable before, "According to the apartment manager Julie, the relationship between Helton and Stephanie has always been somewhat tense, and about a month ago, the two had a big fight.

Helton has always been a little overprotective of Stephanie because of her family background, and the 16-year-old Stephanie is just in a rebellious stage."

"So Stephanie ran away from home?" Jack felt that he was in big trouble now. Where could he find someone?

Hannah shook her head, "I don't know if this counts as running away from home. Helton suspected that Stephanie was secretly smoking 'American Herb' or taking drugs, so he punished her with a one-month grounding.

The latter was furious and asked Julie, the apartment manager, to borrow some money and planned to take a long car ride to Florida to meet a cousin of hers and come back after both of them had calmed down. "

Jack put his hand on his forehead and let out a long sigh. What a bloody plot this was, and this was damn puberty. It was obvious that the Shabby female apartment manager must have secretly helped Stephanie hide it from Helton.

"What is this? 'Girl helps girl'? Have you tried contacting Stephanie's cousin?"

Dana Moge is also a mother of a minor daughter. She is angry about both the behavior of the female apartment manager and Stephanie's running away from home.

"That's the problem." Hannah rubbed her brows with a headache, "I just contacted Stephanie's cousin in Fort Lauderdale, and she confirmed the apartment manager's statement that the father and daughter were having conflicts. , also confirmed that Stephanie planned to go there to find her, but she said that Stephanie did not show up."

"That doesn't make sense." Jack discovered the blind spot. "Stephanie is a minor. Didn't her cousins ​​try to contact Helton or call the police?"

"No, she said she received a text the day Stefani was supposed to arrive saying things had de-escalated between her and Helton, so she would be staying in New York."

Hannah said as she flashed her phone, "I confirmed that the number that sent the text message does indeed belong to Stephanie. I also went to the Queens Long Distance Station to retrieve the surveillance from three weeks ago and have already sent it to the operations center."

Dana Moge in the communication video turned around and asked loudly, "Can anyone tell me if there are any results from facial recognition?"

"Yes sir, we just found her and it shows that Stephanie did purchase a ticket to Fort Lauderdale," one analyst replied, looking up from the screen.

"So she bought a long-distance bus ticket but didn't arrive in Florida. What happened to her? This wasn't filming a movie. There was no way she would meet Mr. Right and live happily ever after, right?

Calling up all the police calls near the station that night, I want to know what exactly happened that night. "Dana Moger ordered with some annoyance, and then turned to face the screen again.

"Jubal, is there any way to delay the time?"

Jubal looked embarrassed, "We just confirmed Helton's statement, but we have no clue about Stephanie's whereabouts. I think contacting him now will only make him more emotional, which is not good for the safety of the hostages."

"Where is the SWAT team's attack plan?" Dana Moger asked Jack again.

"They are still studying how to incapacitate the suspect as soon as possible after opening a hole in the ceiling to ensure the chance of survival of the hostages, but the current results are not optimistic.

Even if they take the risk of using shock bombs in a closed room, and then rappel down and shoot directly, the chance of survival of the hostages is less than 50%, and they still need time. "

Jack has just contacted the leader of the SWAT team, this is the latest development so far.

"OK, let's wait another 15 minutes. If there is still no progress after 15 minutes, notify the SWAT team to prepare for a storm." After Dana Moge finished speaking, she hung up the communication video with a dark face.

"How about I try to communicate with Helton again, maybe I can successfully buy some time?" Jubal seemed a little unsure when he said these words.

"Just wait another 15 minutes, I hope a miracle happens." Jack said helplessly. He had one last resort, which was to replace the SWAT team members and go into battle in person, but even he was not completely sure.
