Chapter 984 In Hawaii (XI)
"Hiss" The stimulation of the clean water touching the wound made Julie Master couldn't help but cry out softly.
This girl can be regarded as a ruthless person. Although she scratched her arm when she broke the glass window of the bathroom to escape, she still picked up a large piece of broken glass to defend herself, which caused the wound on her right palm to be much deeper than that on her arm.
Alcohol is too irritating. Jack is worried that her screams will attract pursuers, so he can only clean her wound with pure water first, then sprinkle Yunnan Baiyao he carries with him and wrap it with gauze.
"Take me to the court, we must not let Alan Brenner go unpunished!" Julie grabbed Jack's sleeve with her uninjured left hand.
The tension and fear of being chased did not seem to knock down this determined girl, but seemed to anger her, making her stare at Jack with her big eyes.
"Okay, but you'd better eat something first." Jack looked at his watch. It had been more than an hour since he entered the jungle, and Cheng Hao's search team should have set off.
He took out an energy bar and handed it to Julie, then contacted Cheng Hao and Danny with a satellite phone. After using GPS to confirm the positions of both parties, Jack discussed with the two, hung up the phone and said to Julie.
"We have to go up. Whether it is to find an open space for helicopters to land or to find a road, we need to move along the ridgeline."
The search team's current location is less than 3 kilometers away from them in a straight line, but the road in the middle is very difficult to walk. Not everyone can walk on flat ground like Jack in the jungle full of humus.
You know, Jack followed the trail for an hour to find this distance, but Julie, who was desperate to escape, took nearly three hours.
And because of the existence of the two killers pretending to be police officers, Cheng Hao did not dare to disperse the team too much. HPD only had four police cars to support them. Counting the four police officers who came with them before, they had to send two bodies back.
Including Cheng Hao and Danny, they had a total of 12 people, and could only be divided into three groups, each with 4 people and two search and rescue dogs.
Jack simply suggested that they withdraw directly, go back to get the car and then guard the nearby paths separately, maybe they can stop the murderers who killed the police.
Perhaps the fact that he successfully found Julie in the jungle gave the two people confidence. After some discussion, Danny and Cheng Hao finally adopted this suggestion.
During the time he was on the phone, Julie ate the energy bar brought by Jack while secretly observing this young FBI, with curiosity flashing in her eyes.
She is about the same age as Jack. If you ignore her dirty and embarrassed appearance, she is a beautiful white girl with an oval face and a little heroic between her eyebrows.
Perhaps because of some mixed blood, Julie's nose is not as sharp and tall as most white girls, but is more in line with the delicate and small aesthetics of Asians. Her skin color is also closer to the so-called "yellow people" that milky white rather than the pale Nordic race.
"We may have to walk another mile in the jungle. Can we hold on?" Jack sprayed himself with DEET and applied cooling oil on the exposed skin, then handed it to Julie and asked her to apply it in the same way as he did.
Along the way, in order to avoid being affected by other smells in his olfactory tracking, he never used these things, which made the mosquitoes in the jungle have a good meal.
Mosquitoes are also invasive species in Hawaii, and have even caused the extinction of some local birds. If there were no treatment, Jack would have been covered with lumps by now.
It should be a preparation for the court appearance. Julie's previous dress was more formal, with a shirt and a black suit skirt that was close to the knees.
At this time, her shirt had been scraped to tatters by the branches, and there was only a sports bra similar to a tube top left inside. There were bloodstains on her shoulders and neck. It was obvious that she had suffered a lot along the way.
The suit skirt was also torn along the seams by her. The high heels that were in the way had been thrown away halfway to confuse the killer who was chasing her.
After hiding in this damp "cave" formed by the tree roots for a while, the girl's thighs and arms were full of lumps of various sizes. Compared with the wounds on her hands, the DEET and cooling oil provided by Jack were the real lifesavers.
"It should be fine until these things are used up." Feeling the unbearable itching on her body gradually subsided, the girl breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed Jack's hand and stood up.
"I went to college in Hawaii, and surfing and mountaineering have always been my hobbies."
Jack actually saw it without her saying it. After getting up, the girl's amazing body curve perfectly explained what it means to bear fruit on a thin tree.
The figures of local residents in Hawaii are completely two extremes. The proportion of fat people among the indigenous people, especially the relatively poor part, is very exaggerated.
The fat people here are not the fat that Chinese people usually think of, but super fat people who weigh 300 kilograms.
Another part is the type of Julie, usually local white and Asian immigrants who are rich and free. They eat healthily, have a good figure, and most of them even have a very healthy wheat skin color.
As they were talking, the two had already left their previous hiding place. Jack identified the direction and started to move up the mountain with the girl.
It can be seen that there was a reason why Julie was able to escape from the pursuit of the two killers. Years of exercise gave her abundant physical strength and agility.
Although Jack consciously slowed down his pace, she was able to keep up with him and still had the energy to talk, which showed that she was indeed a girl who loved sports.
"Of course, I have to thank Rick Cassel. I learned to make a makeshift flamethrower with antiperspirant and lighter from his novels." Julie said with lingering fear when Jack asked her how she escaped from the two killers before.
This is the idea that the guy plagiarized from me, Jack secretly complained, thinking of the pile of novels he saw on the coffee table in the safe house before.
"When you return to New York safely, I will give you a novel signed by Cassel."
"Well, actually Rick Cassel's detective novels were brought by Frick. I prefer those best-selling novels by Joan Doe. If I wasn't really bored, I wouldn't go through his books."
Julie smiled rather embarrassedly, but then seemed to think of something, and her face suddenly became ugly.
Jack naturally guessed the reason for her ugly face. Frick Moore was the old FBI responsible for protecting Julie. According to the girl's description, she happened to see Frick being shot down by the killer when she was standing in front of the window.
"Frick should be fine. We arrived in time to save him. He should have been in the hospital for surgery now. If everything goes well, I can take you to the hospital to visit him after everything is over."
"God bless you, are you serious?" Although it was a question, the girl showed a happy smile from the heart.
"Of course, but the two police officers who came to pick you up were not so lucky. We found their bodies in the trunk of the police car."
Jack paused here, feeling that he shouldn't talk about such a heavy topic at this time, "Anyway, you are a very brave girl."
