Chapter 1009 NCIS Special Advisor
Seemingly seeing Jack's nervousness, Grandma Heidi waved her hand at him, "Young man, don't be so nervous. I have already talked to David Rossi. Since the FBI is unwilling to release him, what do you think of the title of NCIS Special Advisor?"
Jack was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously wanted to be humble, but then he realized that he was now in the American workplace, and at this time, he just needed to smile and nod, and add a sentence "I'm honored".
In fact, as an FBI agent, it is a bit abrupt to have a consultant title in the military's internal investigation department, but it is not very rare.
Since the Hoover era, the FBI has positioned itself correctly and turned itself into a handy tool for various forces to restrict the power of the president, but privately it has been in a vague relationship with the military.
From this point alone, it can be seen that Edgar Hoover, who has been in the position of director for nearly half a century, served eight presidents, and created the FBI myth, is at least a rough emperor.
Even though the FBI is no longer as good as before and has completely become a tool for party struggles, it still retains many "excellent" traditions, including always maintaining a good relationship with the military.
In theory, the FBI has jurisdiction over all criminal cases within the federal scope, but when it comes to domestic criminal acts by the military, it usually directly hands over the case-handling power to the military's internal investigation department.
For example, the Navy's NCIS, or the Army's ACIC (Army Criminal Investigation Command).
In theory, the FBI also has jurisdiction over corruption cases within the military, but in fact, most of these cases are handled by the IGO Inspector General's Office.
In addition, the FBI has always maintained close cooperation with the military in domestic counterterrorism, counterintelligence, and special forces training.
It is not an isolated case that Jack was able to participate in the training of "DEVGRU" and go to Mexico with Team B to eliminate drug lords. The FBI's SRT (Hostage Rescue Team) has been operating overseas in the name of counterterrorism and in conjunction with "DEVGRU" and "Delta" for many years.
"Of course, this consulting job has no fixed remuneration, and the hourly wage is only $50. It will only be calculated when there is a task, and there will be no formal ceremony. I hope you don't mind."
Grandma Heidi showed a mischievous smile on her wrinkled face and handed Jack a certificate that had been prepared long ago.
Jack certainly didn't care about this little money. With this little book in hand, at least it means that he doesn't need to spend favors if he wants to get a military plane in the future.
The old American Navy is a serious first-class person. Although it is a little old now, if there is a chance, he still wants to take a stroll on those active aircraft carriers.
"It's my honor to serve the country." Jack said the beautiful words without money, and he had already tried to recall the plots of "NCIS" that he had watched before.
It's a pity that I didn't remember many cases, but I was very impressed by several main characters, Abby with a strong personality, Tony who never grows up, Jiva from Mossad, and of course Gibbs with silver hair.
"Welcome to join us." Although they had not met for a long time, Karen and Hannah had a good impression of Jack and took the initiative to shake his hand to welcome him.
After pacing back and forth in front of the desk for a few times, the expression on Grandma Heidi's face became serious again.
"OK, gentlemen, let's focus on the present. The current situation is already urgent. You should know what the consequences will be once the media knows about this?"
"It will definitely be a mess." Hannah answered without hesitation.
"The whole city will instantly fall into a hellish disorder." Grandma Heidi nodded.
"All kinds of rumors will spread across the Internet, citizens will lose their minds, fear will spread everywhere, causing people to flee the city in panic, traffic jams, riots, and looting."
Karen paused here, "Basically, you can refer to New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina."
But at this time, Jack sang a different tune, "Excuse me, given the current situation, it seems unnecessary to be too pessimistic. I believe LAPD has made sufficient plans in this regard."
Then he talked about the hemorrhagic fever virus attack he encountered when he was still an ordinary LAPD police officer.
Finally, he concluded, "After analyzing Jarod Broadman's experimental video, the CDC believes that although his 'improved' smallpox virus has prolonged the incubation period and delayed the herpes period, the transmission method of the virus itself has not changed.
Compared to those terrible viruses that can be transmitted through the air, smallpox is not very viable in the air, so the means of releasing this virus are relatively limited.
Even if the situation really deteriorates to the worst possibility, the LAPD can issue a warning to the public in the name of a bomb attack, which should have a certain effect."
After thinking carefully, Grandma Heidi nodded slightly, "If something unfortunate really happens, this is indeed a good way, but before that, I grant you full authority to use all means to prevent possible tragedies."
At this time, Kensi Bly walked over in a hurry, "There is news about the investigation of the taxi company. A person who fits Broadman's facial features got on a taxi at the airport and got off at the Ocean View Hotel in Venice Beach."
"Very good." Grandma Heidi said, taking out an aluminum box from the desk drawer and walking to the office area not far away, "But before you continue to investigate the case,
Agents Dicks, Williams (Danny) and Kelly (Cheng Hao) need to be vaccinated against smallpox. "
Among the three people who were named, the expressions on the faces of Fluffy Muddy Dix and Danny suddenly became visibly tense.
Dix even stuttered when he spoke, "Why vaccinate us, what about the others?"
"Because we are all official soldiers and need to be vaccinated regularly." Hanna returned to his seat and watched the show with a smile.
"Can't you take pills?" Dix swallowed subconsciously as he watched Grandma Heidi take out the syringe from the aluminum box, which was still a very scary double-ended needle.
"Or a patch or something?" Danny was also trying to hide his nervousness. It was obvious that Dix was not the only one who was afraid of injections.
"To be honest, I don't really like injections." Dix's fear of needles was the most serious, and even his voice began to tremble unconsciously.
"Wait, why doesn't Agent Tavole need it?" He seemed to be grasping at straws.
"I was vaccinated during the 'DEVGRU' training." Jack gave him a toothy smile, and then he thought of an obvious question. Grandma Heidi must have read his files that were said to be highly confidential.
