Chapter 987 In Hawaii (XIV)
"We're just going to leave them alone?" Julie waited obediently for Jack to finish his work. Seeing that he really didn't intend to put the two killers down, but was ready to take her away, she asked.
"Although they were instructed by someone, two HPD police officers did die in their hands, so the task of rescuing them should be handed over to HPD. I hope they can arrive in time."
Jack felt that he was "kind" enough. Anyway, hanging upside down on a tree for an hour or two shouldn't kill anyone.
As for whether the two killers would fall into the red fire ant nest and be stung to death because of their random struggles, or whether the HPD police officers would be delayed for a few more hours because of getting lost, it was none of his business.
His mission was to protect the witnesses first. At the moment, he didn't even have a partner around him. It was not easy to subdue the two armed gangsters by sneak attack.
Even if the practice of restricting the two killers' ability to move and leaving them where they were waiting for rescue was written into the report, no one could find any fault.
What red fire ant nest?
He didn't know it at all. Why should a psychologist know natural science? It was just a small pile of dirt, and there seemed to be some small ants in it.
After listening to Jack's pretentious explanation, Julie's originally somewhat uneasy mood calmed down. This girl asked these questions not out of any saintly heart, but simply worried that the FBI who saved her would get into trouble.
"I thought you FBI agents were all old-fashioned people like Frick who were serious and old-fashioned. When he was with me, he talked most about how to accompany his family after retirement."
Julie's eyes flashed with a strange light, and she finally couldn't help it. While someone was concentrating on clearing the way, she grabbed his arm and kissed him lightly on the face.
Jack was a little caught off guard. Although it was not impossible for him to dodge, he said, "I will regard this as a kind of gratitude."
Julie laughed and didn't say much, but her steps were much lighter.
The two of them quickly climbed over the last hill, and a winding forest path was in sight. Although it was still a dirt road, not made of cement or asphalt, but simply a dirt road that was rolled out by humans, it was enough to make people excited.
Because the ruts on the dirt road seemed to announce that after a short but thrilling jungle adventure, they returned to the civilized world again.
"There is the sound of a car." Julie, who was following Jack, cheered in surprise and was about to run towards the dirt road, but was pulled back by Jack, who was quick-eyed and quick-handed.
Caught off guard, Julie turned half a circle and hit Jack's chest hard. Although it had its own buffer, she still couldn't help but screaming in pain.
At the same time, an old red Toyota pickup truck was driving towards this side quickly. The people in the car had obviously noticed the movement here. The next moment, a submachine gun was stuck out of the window.
"Damn it!" Almost at the same time as the gunshots rang out, Jack, holding Julie, rolled down the mountain into the ditch formed by the natural erosion of rainwater on the roadside.
The bullets splashed a series of water and mud spots around the two people, and there was also a striking red blood flower in the middle.
The gunshots stopped for a while, and the pickup truck stopped far away. The driver leaned out of the window and fired two more bursts. Seeing that there was no movement in the ditch, he just unbuckled his seat belt and was about to push open the door to get out of the car. Jack in the mud suddenly jumped up and fired the SIG Sauer P320-XTen in his hand.
The bullet penetrated the thin car door, shaking the driver all over, and blood splashed everywhere. Jack stood up slowly and walked towards him, continuing to shoot as he walked until he got close to the car.
The driver's upper body was already bloody, and his right hand holding the submachine gun was still hanging outside the car window, but he was no longer able to pull the trigger.
"Damn it!" Jack walked up to him and shot the last bullet in the gun chamber at the guy's head.
He was really angry. He hadn't been injured for so many chapters. But he came to Hawaii just for a vacation, but was broken by a little Karami and was in such a mess.
"Jack! You're injured!" Julie, who was also covered in mud, rushed to Jack's side, crying as she watched the blood oozing from his lower back, looking helpless.
Jack pointed to the backpack he had thrown into the ditch, indicating that the first aid medicines were all in it. Then he quickly checked the injury while the girl was getting the bag, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
A bullet shot into his left ribs, just grazed the ribs and shot through. His kidney was fine, just a flesh wound, and he didn't even need treatment for first aid.
The sound of the sirens came from far away, and the Ford F150 with flashing lights stopped not far away. Danny and Cheng Hao jumped out of the car with guns in their hands and nervous faces.
They rushed here directly after receiving Jack's call, but they were still a step late. Apparently, the third killer chose the same meeting place as them.
This was a coincidence. Apparently, the other two killers notified Jack and Julie by satellite phone when they tracked them down. As a result, both parties chose this nearest forest road as the meeting place.
"Are you all okay?" Seeing the two sitting on the side of the road covered in mud and Julie sobbing while cleaning Jack's wound with a kettle, Danny was immediately frightened.
Cheng Hao was calmer than him. He first checked the body and then checked the situation in the Toyota pickup truck. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and put away his gun.
Jack's kettle contained water of life mixed with lemon juice. This time he had brought it upon himself. He was grinning in pain. Seeing Danny step forward with concern, he quickly waved his hand at him.
"Just a small injury."
After saying that, he took the bandage and wrapped it around his waist twice skillfully. Then he stood up with Julie's help and gave the latter a smile, "There should be enough time for us to get to the court."
Julie looked at the bulletproof vest on her body, and then at the blood-stained bandage around Jack's waist, and nodded vigorously while holding back tears.
Probably because he had seen Jack's first aid skills before, Danny chose to trust his judgment and quickly ran to the F150 and patted the hood hard.
"There's still one hour left. I'll contact HPD to divert traffic. I should be able to make it in time."
The F150 turned around and got back on the road. Danny, who was sitting in the passenger seat, glanced at Jack in the back seat, confirmed that there was nothing wrong with him, and picked up the satellite phone.
"This is State Police Special Superintendent Danny Williams, witness Julie Master is safe and we are escorting her to the courthouse.
I asked that intersections along the route be kept clear and that there be an adequate police presence around the courthouse and a potential killer who has yet to be identified. "
