Chapter 1008: Jack is not considered an outsider
The house that Jack rebuilt is still a two-story building, but it has been changed to a brick-concrete structure, which has the foundation of a century-old house. Even if someone uses rockets to attack here again, as long as it is not a large-yield rocket like 107, there is no need to worry about it collapsing.
Although the house was renovated after it was built, and Jack also purchased a lot of furniture, but every time he came back before, it was either a weekend or a short vacation. He either stayed at the Wolf brothers' farm or sneaked into Zoe's house in the middle of the night.
So this is the first time he has spent the night in his new home in the true sense. Fortunately, John, a warm-hearted uncle, helped to manage it. Not only did he contact a cleaning company to clean the inside and outside before dusk, but he also helped to buy some bedding with his wife Gareth.
Even the refrigerator is filled with fresh vegetables, meat, eggs and milk, which come from the Wolf brothers' farm.
Now Chris is busy running the company, and he is about to get married with his girlfriend Dana. He is not in Los Angeles for almost half of the year. The farm is managed by Braxton and Justin's father, Professor Haber.
"It's just missing a mistress, and this is a perfect home." Danny's simple compliment after entering the house shocked Jack.
"Go to bed early, it's only a few hours before dawn, Karen and Hannah will pick us up tomorrow morning." Jack interrupted quickly, worried that someone's elder complex would flare up.
Fortunately, Danny himself is still a single dog now. He just said it casually, and went to wash and rest after sighing.
Jack took out his laptop and replied to several work emails. After returning to New York, the wanted criminal team took on a new mission and is now chasing an arsonist and two amateur killers in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
A father and son were shot and killed in an amusement park. The manager of the amusement center was seriously injured. The scene was set on fire. A suspect left his name in an 80s game console, "Sicarius".
This is the name of a poisonous spider, which can also be translated as assassin, but it seems that the murderer is not this "assassin", but two amateur hired killers, a man and a woman.
The specific situation is still unclear, but Jubal has already found out the identities of the two hired killers with his friends and is currently tracking their whereabouts.
After telling everyone to be safe, Jack closed the computer and went back to the bedroom upstairs to sleep comfortably.
The next morning, two NCIS agents drove to Jack's house early. Hannah's car was a 1970 black Dodge Challenger, which was also quite eye-catching.
After Jack reluctantly accepted the guy's proposal to change the car, everyone arrived at an old-fashioned monastery with a sense of age.
"Superintendent Danny Williams of 'Five-O', Inspector Chenghao Kelly, and FBI Supervisory Agent Jack Tavola."
Seeing the two colleagues waiting at the door, Karen introduced them enthusiastically, "This is Agent Kensi Bly and LAPD's liaison officer Detective Maddy Dix."
"Nice to meet you." The two sides exchanged friendly greetings, and the "fluffy" Maddy Dix even shook hands with Jack.
"Agent Tawalle, I heard you were also a LAPD."
"Yes, that's right, just call me Jack." Jack was very happy to see two "familiar faces" again. He seemed to be a couple.
As a spin-off, although NICS Los Angeles is a little unpopular, it is also a long drama that has been filmed for more than ten years. And unlike the main drama, the main actors of this drama are quite stable, and the screenwriters don't bother with the emotional line.
"This place is really nice. I feel like I should have a Margarita with some spicy corn chips."
Danny has been looking around curiously since he got off the car, looking at this secret base hidden in a stone church.
Huge floor-to-ceiling windows, copper screens, slightly rusty railings and vines growing along the railings. All of this seems to be somewhat out of tune with the internal electronic screens and other equipment, but it has a unique style.
"This office is a classic example of the Spanish Mission style in California. We have preserved its original appearance as much as possible."
Accompanied by a slightly old voice, an old lady who was only 1.4 meters tall, wearing an exquisite handmade suit, black tortoise-shell glasses, and a thin chain hanging on the glasses, appeared in front of everyone with her hands behind her back.
This old lady is probably in her seventies or eighties, with chicken skin and a slightly hunched back. She looks inconspicuous, but once you meet her sharp eyes hidden behind the thick lenses, you will involuntarily have the illusion of being seen naked.
"This is our operations director Heidi Lange, and these three are..." Hanna was about to introduce again when he was interrupted by the old lady.
"Detective Danny Williams and Detective Chenghao Kelly, thank you very much for coming to help, gentlemen."
"This is necessary. There is no reason for us to stand idly by in such a dangerous case." Unlike Danny, who was a little scared by the old lady, Chenghao maintained the respectful attitude of respecting the elderly and loving the young that is unique to Orientals.
Jack rolled his eyes, feeling a little uneasy that Grandma Heidi didn't mention his name.
"I agree, so you are the first group of outsiders to step into this operation center, which shows the seriousness of the situation." Grandma Heidi's expression was serious, and she unconsciously put on the airs of an elder.
Okay, Jack understood Heidi's subtext, so he, the FBI, was not an outsider here, right?
Then the slightly solemn atmosphere was broken by Danny's inappropriate joke, "I am also very grateful that you didn't blindfold us when we came in."
Grandma Heidi laughed dryly and gestured to Kensi Bly, "Why don't you and Mr. Dix give a briefing to the guests? I need to talk to you and the two of you."
She pointed at Jack first, and then stretched out her hands to Karen and Hannah at the same time.
"Me?" Jack pointed at himself in surprise. This old lady and he definitely met for the first time. Why did she act like she was very familiar with him right away?
"Jack, Jack, Jack." All the way back to her desk, Grandma Heidi kept repeating Jack's name.
By the way, the operations director set up his office area in a corner of the monastery church, facing the stairs leading to the second floor. That position can well observe the situation on the entire first floor and part of the corridor on the second floor.
Her walnut desk was obviously very valuable, with extremely exquisite and complex patterns carved on it. Behind the desk was a European screen of the same style, with a family crest.
Grandma Heidi paced back and forth behind the desk for two steps before looking up at Jack, "At least three old friends have mentioned your name in front of me, Jack, you have to know that at my age, there are not many old friends still alive."
Jack smiled back awkwardly. He could feel the interested eyes cast by Karen and Hannah behind him without looking back.
Except for the old CIA Joe Mason, he really couldn't think of any other old friends in front of him who were his old friends. Maybe the big bald Frank was one of them, and he couldn't think of more.
In the original play, this Heidi Lange was set as a serious Cold War veteran. You have to know that this is a world of film and television fusion. Just thinking about those film and television works describing the Cold War makes people's scalps numb.
