Chapter 1096: Overly Worried Clay (asking for monthly votes)
Jiejie sighed, "Every SEAL is an extremely confident person and firmly believes in his own judgment. Maybe he just wants to go home and look for information and diaries in the garage, but after meeting his parents, he also Treat them as stand-ins.
Fortunately, we protected his wife and daughter in time, otherwise the consequences would have been fatal. "
"So in the end he kept asking the general where his real relatives were. Then his purpose of taking the general away was also very clear. He wanted to exchange hostages."
Aubrey scratched his head, looking a little frustrated, "We do have 'hostages' on hand, but as long as he sees his wife and daughter, he will treat them as substitutes, and the consequences will only be worse."
"Then don't let him see it." Jack looked at Clay, "Maybe we should make a plan to lead him to a place where we are sure to subdue him."
Clay smiled bitterly back at him, "Luke is the same person as you and I, let alone uniforms. In this case, would you rashly put yourself in danger?"
Jack thought for a while and couldn't help but put on a mask of pain on his face, "No, I will tell you by killing one as a warning to others that you must follow my rules and don't try to play any tricks."
At this time, he hadn't hung up the phone yet, and Red, who was still listening to the discussion opposite, interrupted, "Maybe you can try to find Luke's closest people and let them communicate only through sound. Theoretically, he should still have some sense. ”
——
"The person closest to Luke is his father." Luke's wife's answer immediately silenced everyone.
"AI synthesized speech?" Aubrey suddenly had an idea, but then he slapped his forehead and sat back down, rejecting this bad idea.
This was not an internet scam, and they were not familiar with the father and son's daily speaking patterns, so they could be exposed in just a few sentences.
The hostage in Luke's hands is a vice admiral. If something unusual is detected and his conspiracy theory is confirmed, the consequences will be unimaginable.
At this time, they had returned to the NCIS office building in the Navy Yard, and Jubal and other team members were looking through the thick files with a frown on their faces.
Gibbs not only brought the files of "Operation Drado Falls", but also all the secret mission files that Luke had carried out when he was a SEAL.
There are 19 copies in total, and the red words "Top Secret" on the kraft paper cover are shocking.
"Did you find anything?" Gibbs, who had stayed up all night with everyone, got up and poured himself a cup of coffee.
“Operation Drado Falls was a covert assassination attempt against a South African diplomat suspected of selling sensitive nuclear information to a Middle Eastern country.
The operation was successful. At that time, the diplomat, together with his..." Jubal paused here, ".and his two children."
Jack raised his eyebrows, "Luke moved his hand?"
Jubal sighed, "Yes, the records show that he applied to suspend the operation at that time, but the people above ordered the operation to continue."
"Collateral damage. The two children witnessed everything. They are witnesses that must be eliminated." Clay showed an unsurprised expression.
There was no Holy Mother present, and although everyone showed their anguish, it was impossible for anyone to jump out and criticize from the moral high ground.
But Hannah still whispered, "Just like those 'Sena Locke' employees."
"No, that's different." Jack shook his head, "According to the records, Luke often visits Adam Weiner's company, and he should be acquainted with the employees of 'Cena Lock'.
In his understanding at the time, he stepped into a pre-arranged trap, and those people were agents who came to kill him and silence him. "
"So, we know that Luke was haunted by the fact that he had to kill two innocent children during Operation Drado Falls.
Therefore, after he suffered from that hallucination, through this secret operation, he conceived a conspiracy network in his mind. Gibbs put the finished coffee cup on the table, "So what should we do next?" According to Dr. Reid, we can't even exchange hostages unless we blindfold Luke. He will go crazy when he sees his wife and daughter. "
"So we can't wait for him to call." Jack looked at Alice, who had been busy in front of the computer. "How is the location of the general's phone?"
Alice poked her head out from behind the screen with a frown, "Too bad, although General Milgram's mobile phone is a government machine with built-in positioning, the GPS signal is very weak, and the range that can be determined now includes a small half of Washington, DC.
I could try triangulating via a cell tower, but that would require the phone to be on a call. "
Jack stood up and took his coat, "Then prepare to call him. I think this is the purpose of Luke bringing the general's mobile phone. He wants to negotiate with us. Clay, bring your equipment and we will set off first."
Unexpectedly, Clay objected this time, "No, I'll go and you stay."
"Why?" Jack looked at the soldier in confusion. He didn't understand what was there to bargain about. Could it be that Clay was worried that he would be in danger?
"Luke is a war hero. He just got sick and didn't deserve that ending." Clay's words were a little vague, but everyone present roughly understood what he meant.
Although Luke is a former Navy SEAL, except for Gibbs who was a little confused, no one in the wanted criminal team thought that Jack would not be able to deal with him.
Clay knew this even better. Luke Dolan would definitely die if Jack took action, but this was not what he wanted to see.
"I know what you mean, but the more so, the more I should go. Stop talking nonsense, go get the equipment, bring explosive detectors, and get a few more stun grenades." Jack patted his shoulder to show that he understood his idea.
——
"Are you sure I should call? This case has not been officially handed over to NCIS yet." Gibbs looked at the people in the wanted criminal team with a smile.
"You are the only former soldier here. I think it should be smoother for you to communicate with him." Jubal pushed the phone on the table in front of him.
"The most suitable person is actually Clay, but he is worried that Jack will shoot him, so he has to go with him." Aubrey told the truth.
Gibbs was very confused about this, "I don't understand, shouldn't you be more worried about the safety of your own people?"
"This is hard to explain." Jubal had an indescribable expression on his face, picked up the microphone and handed it to him, "They are already in place, call first."
"Who?" The phone was quickly connected, as if someone was waiting on the other side, and a man's calm voice came.
"Is it Lieutenant Luke Dolan?" Gibbs' voice seemed very relaxed.
"State your identity."
"I am Sergeant Jethro Gibbs, a former Marine Corps gunnery sergeant, and now an NCIS agent."
The voice on the other end of the phone paused for a moment, as if a little surprised by Gibbs' identity, "Who asked you to call me."
"No one asked me to make this call, I want to call you, let's talk, first I have to confirm whether General Milgram is safe."
Gibbs pressed the switch button after speaking, disconnected the radio function here, and asked Alice on the side, "How long will it take?"
"The longer the better, try to delay him." Alice answered without raising her head.
