Chapter 710 Accidents one after another
In just a few dozen seconds, the two sides fired hundreds of rounds. Octavio was beaten so hard that he lost his head. The SWAT side became more and more energetic, with five or six assault rifles pouring ammunition into the warehouse.
Therefore, sometimes having more people is not necessarily a good thing. Just a communication problem can cause all kinds of unexpected situations that seem incredible.
Soon after the SWAT commander issued a ceasefire order, the gunfire suddenly stopped. Jack and Aubrey quickly rushed into the three-story building and reached the forward command center on the roof.
Hannah was staring at the screen worriedly. When she saw the two of them, she quickly said, "A ricochet hit Dr. Lucas Caldwell's abdomen."
On the screen, a piece of glass in the operating room was broken. The surgeon, Lucas Caldwell, fell to the ground, bleeding from his abdomen. The anesthesiologist, Dr. Nicole Wright, was using gauze to try to stop the bleeding.
It was raining all night. Although the SWATs chose a certain angle to avoid the direction of the operating room when they opened fire, a 5.56 bullet still bounced off the hard concrete floor and flew into the operating room.
Fortunately, the ricochet did not hit the child on the operating bed, but was blocked by Lucas Caldwell standing in front of him. It seemed to be a good reincarnation of God to some extent.
Several people looked at each other, now they were in big trouble.
This is not the time to argue with SWAT about responsibility. The chief surgeon was shot and fell to the ground. Octavio lost his last hope of saving his son. God knows what he will do.
They had to do something to prevent things from getting worse. Jack pressed the earpiece and contacted Jubal loudly, "Let them throw a communicator in. We must prevent Octavio from doing something drastic. Dr. Nicole Wright But innocent."
Jubal's thoughts were obviously the same as his, "We have just arranged it, and the content of the call will be sent to you simultaneously."
Jack took three steps at a time and came to the female wall. He waved his hand to signal the nervous SWAT team members to step back. "Get back. Once again, no firing is allowed without orders."
We do not belong to the same unit, and he does not have the power to directly command SWAT, but we have cooperated many times, and many team members know Jack.
Someone confirmed with the commander on the communication channel, and then the commandos responsible for covering temporarily evacuated the roof of the building where the forward command center was located.
At this time, a SWAT team member squatting on the side of the warehouse carefully touched the front of the warehouse where the exchange of fire had just occurred, and threw a three-proof box into the broken window with a wave of his hand.
Jack quickly returned to the screen. Inside the warehouse, he saw Octavio squatting in the corner with an assault rifle on guard. He carefully stretched out his legs to hook the box to his side, then picked up the box and took out the communicator inside, and pressed the call button.
"Who are you?"
"Octavio, I am FBI agent Jubal Valentine. I ask you to surrender immediately. If you do, we promise to save your son." Jubal's voice came from the communication channel.
"Do you think I'm an idiot?" Octavio shouted angrily.
Jubal quickly calmed him down, "No, no, no, I know you are just a father who wants to save his son. Please let us help."
"Do you want to help? Very good. Send a surgeon here. A doctor who can perform kidney transplantation. If no doctor arrives within ten minutes, I will beat the female doctor to death."
"Wait a minute, don't." Before Jubal finished speaking, Octavio hung up the communicator.

Among the building materials stacked in the warehouse, the large wooden boards were erected piece by piece to block the large glass windows. While blocking the view, it also blocked the sniper's shooting angle.
Octavio, who has received professional military training, is very experienced and leaves only a little gap to observe the outside situation. Now, in addition to negotiation, the FBI has only one way to attack.
"What now?" Standing next to Jack, Aubrey experienced hostage danger for the first time. He was struggling to remember the hostage handling training he learned during the training at Quantico Academy, and then faced with the complex situation in front of him. Correspond.
"Let the suspect's wife talk to him and see if she can convince him?" Hannah suggested.
Jack shook his head, thinking of his previous conversation with Mrs. Diaz, "It won't have much effect. At most, it will ease Octavio's mood and buy us a little more time."
After speaking, he glanced at the sky. It was already setting in the west, and in less than an hour at most, the sun would completely sink below the horizon.
"OK, I'll try to convince Mrs. Diaz to let them talk, even if it's just to buy a little time." Jubal replied in the channel.
Octaviotti's request is simply impossible to achieve. Not to mention whether there is a surgeon who volunteers to be held at gunpoint to perform such a complex organ transplant operation, and it is impossible for the FBI to add another hostage bargaining chip to the other party.
——
Jack let Hannah and Aubrey continue to observe the situation in the forward command center, and he ran back to Jubal. Just a few minutes ago, Octavio and his wife had just finished talking on the phone.
It cannot be said that the effect was nonexistent, but it was completely counterproductive. Octavio confessed his last words to his wife in a subtle way, just to find a glimmer of hope for his son.
"So the question now is, how to make Octavio believe that the FBI will help his son complete the operation?" Jubal paced back and forth irritably.
As long as the hostage crisis can be resolved, the FBI does not mind doing special things. Although the kidney in the refrigerator on the operating table was illegally traded, the deal is now done, and it is not an unacceptable condition to complete the operation on the child.
"He won't believe it. This is not even his country. Remember Helton who kidnapped the rich man's daughter? We encountered almost the same problem. Octavio is an enhanced version of Helton (Chapter 2) Chapter 568 Safe House), and more dangerous than him." Jack analyzed calmly.
"I know, I know, it's another father who wants to save his child. Damn it, he's driving everyone to the edge, including his own son."
Jubal walked to the window and stared in the direction of the warehouse in a daze. After a while, he looked back at Jack, "I will play the role of a surgeon and ask him to release Dr. Lucas Caldwell who was shot first, and then try to persuade him. "
"How to convince?" A smile suddenly appeared on Jack's face, and he looked at Jubal with eyes that seemed to see through his heart.
Jubal didn't pay attention to his expression and continued to talk, "After all, it was just a temporary operating room. The conditions were so poor that it didn't even have a complete surgical team. I will try to convince him from the perspective of a professional doctor." .
Tell him that if he gives up resistance, the FBI will send his son to the hospital and arrange a complete medical team, and the success rate of the operation will be greatly improved."
"You have empathy with him." Jack interrupted, thinking of his daughter's illness. It was not difficult to guess.
Jubal's expression froze slightly, with a bit of dejection on his face, and he muttered in a low voice, "I hate psychologists, okay, I know I can't hide this from you, but in addition to risking hostage casualties and forcibly raiding, you also have Is there any better way?"
