Chapter 786 End of the case and maternity leave
Jiejie drove the Saber slowly to the driveway in front of the house. Jubal picked up the phone again and called Ronnie, "She's in the car."
Ronnie in the room was hesitant. He looked at White who was tied to the chair by him, and then at Emma who was crying beside him. After hesitating for a long time, he finally made up his mind, grabbed the girl, and pushed her into the front hall. .
Not long after, the curtains in the front hall were opened a crack, revealing Emma's face with heavy makeup blurred by tears.
"There is no shooting angle, it is blocked by the hostages." Hannah reported calmly.
"Me too." Clay's voice was equally calm.
At the same time, Jack, who did not know when he appeared at the back door, opened the door with a lockpick in a few seconds, but did not rush in immediately. Instead, he turned to look at the tablet in Aubrey's hand.
A drone with an infrared camera is a good thing. Although it cannot be used as a see-through like in Hollywood blockbusters, it can still roughly confirm the position of the people inside through windows and curtains.
"Open the damn window, don't try to fool me," Ronnie yelled into the phone.
Jiejie, who was wearing a body armor, got out of the car and opened the side door of Sababan. Leilin, who was blindfolded, appeared in the back seat.
"Ronnie! Ronnie! Where are you?" Lei Lin cried and struggled desperately, trying to get the blindfold off her face. For a moment, Jiejie couldn't control her.
"Leilin! Baby!" Ronnie's face was distorted and his expression was extremely excited. He directly pulled down the obstructive curtains in front of his eyes and pressed half of Emma's face against the window.
"I want her to see me! Now! Now!"
Jubal flatly refused, "This is impossible, we agreed, unless you release one of the hostages first."
"What about this?" Ronnie put a gun to Emma's head, forced her to lie on the window sill, and began to take off his pants with a grin.
"Did your mother really never teach you how to respect women when you were a child? Oh, I almost forgot, she was a 'Whore.'" A very vicious and mocking voice suddenly came from the back room.
Ronnie turned around in horror. His brain, which had already lost its rationality, was not strong enough for him to react in time. Just when he subconsciously wanted to raise his gun and aim at Jack and Aubrey who had appeared behind him at some point, a burning pain suddenly appeared from behind him. It spread across his chest.
However, a distance of more than 100 meters is a real instant for sniper bullets with a muzzle velocity exceeding 900 meters per second. The two bullets shattered the glass windows from different angles and then penetrated into Ronnie's body.
The first bullet entered his back and broke his spine, and the second bullet hit his neck, shattering half of his cervical vertebrae and tearing off the carotid artery leading to the brain, creating a bloody fountain.
"Bang!" Before Ronnie could lower his head in time, Aubrey shot him right between the eyebrows. White and red splashed all over Emma who was lying on the windowsill, making her scream loudly in fright.
"You know we don't have administrative leave, right?" Jack put away the unfired Sig Sauer P320-XTen and glanced at Aubrey, who was still in a daze.
"What?" The latter was still in a daze, and had not yet recovered from his first "kill record".
Jack shook his head, "Nothing, I mean your marksmanship has improved."
——
"Ronnie!"
"Ronnie! No!"
Lei Lin finally wiped off the blindfold from her face on the back of the car seat and began to cry miserably. When an uninformed person saw this scene, they might think that a Romeo and Juliet-like scene had just been staged here. tragedy.
Jack and Aubrey helped the bruised White Connell and the physically and mentally injured Emma Jennings out of the house respectively, and put them into the ambulance.
Jubal's eyes retracted from Lei Lin's direction and fell on the two victims. Finally, he showed a wry smile and said, "If Hollywood gets this script, will they make it into a classic like "The Male and Female Thief"."
"Who cares." Jack didn't bother to think about it. "We are destined to be supporting roles anyway."
"If we brought Ronnie's mother, do you think the ending would be different?" Jubal suddenly asked a strange question.
Seeing everyone turning their attention to him, he quickly raised his hands and performed a French military salute, "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean any sympathy, it's just a discussion, because before Ronnie heard me mention his mother, , seemed a little scared.”
"I don't think someone as extremely selfish as Ronnie's mother would be willing to cooperate with us. Things will only become completely out of control." Clay carefully disassembled his favorite gun and put it into the gun case, curling his lips disdainfully.
After handing Lei Lin over to the local police to be taken away, Jiejie also came back to join the discussion, "I don't think Ronnie would be able to surrender just because of that little fear. It's more likely that he would have a direct mental breakdown. After seeing Lei Lin just now, He was already completely crazy when he came to Lin."
"A woman like her shouldn't be a mother." Hannah muttered under her breath.
"OK, the discussion is over." Seeing that he was going to start criticizing the "abortion bill" if he continued, Jack quickly stepped on the brakes. There are some things that cannot be mentioned in today's old America, at least not at crime scenes. discussed publicly.
Whether Ronnie was violently abused as a child or simply suffered from psychological PUA is not covered by the written report of the Most Wanted Offender Team.
Ronnie's mother disappeared directly after the case was over, without even claiming the body. Even if a reporter wanted to dig up the story behind the case, there was no way to do so.
As for Lei Lin, I hope she can spend the rest of her life safely in a mental hospital.
A week later, in the office of the Most Wanted Criminals Team.
After the case ended, everyone's mood was not very high, not only because there was no administrative leave, but also because they had to sit in the office and write reports every day.
"Promise me, Jack." Jubal stretched, his waist creaking, "As long as it's not a mandated task from above, we will only receive one wanted order a month from now on."
"Isn't it your job to check the wanted list? Don't think about leaving it to me. I have already written an extra report for Clay. The report on the Charlotte shooting was probably written by you." Jack didn't even look up. He replied proudly.
"I'm going to ask for leave. My game console will get moldy if it's not powered on." Hannah lay on the table bored and yawned.
After typing the last word, Jack pushed the keyboard forward and announced loudly, "Everyone has a day off tomorrow. Let's go to Clay's house to visit little Clay."
A few days after returning to New York, Clay's wife Stella went into labor, giving birth to a full-term fat boy.
There is no custom of confinement in the United States, so Stella returned home on the day of delivery, and Danny's wife Linda has been taking care of her for the past few days.
Thanks to the current president, Clay, as a federal employee, has up to 12 weeks of paid paternity leave.
You must know that the maternity leave system in the United States is almost non-existent at the federal level. Only the Family and Medical Leave Act provides that fathers and mothers of newborns can take 12 weeks of unpaid maternity leave.
Only nearly half of Americans can enjoy this benefit, because this law only applies to employees who have worked for companies with more than 50 employees for more than one year and work more than 25 hours a week.
In fact, very few people actually choose to take this kind of unpaid maternity leave or paternity leave. Let alone 12 weeks without income, even if there is no income for 4 weeks, many people will go hungry.
