Chapter 1097 Missing
At the same moment when Gibbs was trying to delay the call, Jack's Audi R8 was speeding down the streets of Washington, D.C., with its police lights flashing.
"Within 50 meters centered on 3352 Spring Street? Got it, notify the SWAT team to meet us there."
Clay hung up the phone and stared at the morning glow in the distance for a long time before slowly speaking, "Jack, I hope you can understand."
"I understand, but have you ever thought that even if we can successfully arrest Luke Dolan, we can't change what has happened."
Jack thought he could understand Clay's thoughts. As a seal, he didn't want his colleagues to die meaninglessly, which was reasonable.
But Luke Dolan killed his parents and best friend with his own hands. Even Jack can hardly imagine how he would react when he wakes up and realizes the truth. Although according to Rhett, this disease is not yet known. Corresponding drugs and treatments.
He was not even willing to make assumptions about this kind of thing, let alone substitution.
"I know, but what I want to say is that even if I have to, I should be the one to do it." Clay said in a serious tone.
"You shouldn't have seal blood on your hands."
"Huh?" Jack didn't expect to get such an answer, and Clay's words were a bit unexpected.
Clay gave him an ugly smile, "The relationship between you and Seal shouldn't have a bad relationship because of this kind of thing. I know Jason and the others were almost sent to South Korea not long ago, but some things don't make sense.
If things really come to an irreversible level, I believe Luke would prefer to die at the hands of his colleagues. "
Jack really didn't expect Clay to be thinking about himself from beginning to end, but if he thought about it carefully, it was indeed the truth.
It might be better if Luke was just an ordinary soldier, but he was a SEAL who had participated in many secret operations. If he died inexplicably at the hands of the FBI, it would be hard not to have some unwarranted associations.
Even if the friendship between Jack and Jason does not break down, if there are too many rumors, the situation of the old friends of Team B will be very embarrassing.
"OK, then let us work hard to prevent this tragedy from ending in a more unfortunate ending."
It would be false to say that I am not touched, but sometimes the friendship between men does not need to be expressed in too many words.
Just like Jack secretly used treatment to save Clay, who was dying of sepsis, and saved his left leg, although the seal didn't know it at the time.
But then someone used that "magical" acupuncture to forcefully save his lame leg that the doctor said would never be fully recovered. For Clay, it was no less than a life-saving grace.
He had woken up from his sleep countless times. In the dream, he had really lost one of his legs and his life was worse than death.
Clay was always silently grateful for Jack who cured his lameness and provided him with a job that gave him a sense of accomplishment.
While talking, the Audi R8 got out of the alley and stopped in front of an open space surrounded by barbed wire.
"Alice, this place is an open space and we need more precise guidance." Jack made a call immediately after getting off the car. "Sorry, I'm retrieving higher-precision satellite images. Can you tell me directly about the buildings you see around you? What you are looking for should be an old-fashioned building with thick walls.
Only such a building can isolate the GPS signal and cause positioning errors. "On the other side of the phone, in addition to Alice's deliberately lowered voice, there was also the crisp tapping sound of a mechanical keyboard.
"Well" Jack and Clay looked to both sides respectively. The former seal who was putting on a bulletproof vest was the first to notice, "To the southeast, there is an old five-story building there."
Alice's voice suddenly became excited, "That's right there, a hotel built in 1928, now abandoned."
The two got back in the car. Jack did not hang up the phone, but continued to ask, "How is the communication between Agent Gibbs and Luke Dolan?"
Alice didn't answer, and after a moment the voice changed to Jubal's.
"The call continues, and as we expected, Luke's appeal is to ask the authorities to hand over his family. He believes that he is being hunted, and no matter what Agent Gibbs explains, he will not listen.
As for General Milgram, he was the one who ordered the elimination of all witnesses during Operation Dradod Falls, and was the one who ordered Luke to shoot and kill the two children. "
This was more or less retribution, Jack cursed in his heart. He would not comment on the elimination of witnesses in covert operations.
Regardless of whether the operation itself was just, the SEALs let three shepherds go because of a moment of weakness during "Operation Red Wings", resulting in the tragic consequences of the death of 19 people.
Prior to this, during the first "Desert Storm" operation, the Green Berets also encountered a heavy besiege and were almost annihilated because they let an Iraqi boy go.
Putting aside positions such as war of aggression, just starting from the American's own position, even if the details of "Operation Delado Falls" are revealed to the media, Luke Dolan alone will have no merits or demerits. .
But as the saying goes, if you don't do bad things in your life, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door in the middle of the night. It is precisely because this former SEAL felt guilty about killing two innocent children that he overreacted after suffering from "Capgras delusion".
This is somewhat a taste of cause and effect.
Jack and Clay put on the communicator and rushed into the abandoned hotel without waiting for the SWAT team to arrive. Gibbs and Luke's call was hung up 3 minutes ago. The current situation is extremely urgent.
There are no bombs, no traps, and no Luke Dolan. The two found the unconscious General Milgram and his mobile phone in a room on the second floor of the hotel.
"What's going on? Where did Luke Dolan go? Why did he give up his "chips" so easily?"
After confirming from Jack and Clay that the general was safe and sound, but was frightened, the people who stayed in NCIS fell into confusion, and Jubal couldn't even turn a pencil.
Gibbs's face looked better. To him, if the Navy really lost a vice admiral because of this, even if it was just a retired vice admiral, it would be a huge scandal.
But just like the story of the thrown boot, although the general was found, the culprit who caused all this is still missing. This is like the second boot that has not been thrown, which makes people more uneasy.
