Chapter 93: Atlanta (14)
Maggie is in this state and can no longer continue to carry out the mission.
Her shoulder blades were completely removed, and her hands hung limply.
Kayla couldn't do anything other than help Maggie clean her body and then help her get dressed one by one.
Fortunately, Maggie's breath is still there.
However, being humiliated alive like this, with Maggie's temperament, it may be more painful to live than to die.
But what can Kayla do?
She had already reminded Maggie that she must not take that obscene bodyguard lightly.
But after being secretly trained for more than ten years, Maggie, who was eager to work, finally didn't take her reminder to heart.
Jerk ~ jerk ~ Looking at Maggie's current appearance, Kayla's mind was in turmoil.
There is simply no other way to go than to retreat temporarily.
β¦β¦
The Porsche drifted sideways, black tires grinding against the road with a screeching sound, and finally came to a stop by the phone booth outside Margaret Mitchell's house.
"Boss~Boss~"
Pedro unbuckled his seatbelt and pushed Jerry, who was already asleep on the seat.
"Arrived?" Jerry yawned and stretched, a super-quality nap to recharge his batteries.
"Yes, boss. It took 23 minutes and 13 seconds. β
"You're totally ready to be a race car driver." Jerry unbuckled his seatbelt and the Porsche door was already open upwards.
"I have a dream~"
"Shut up. You're not Martin Luther King, Jr. again. β
Jerry cursed with a smile and left his seat.
Jingle bell ~ jingle bell. The phone inside the phone booth rang.
"Hey~ What advice do you have now? Mr. Bandits. β
Georgia Tech, Eric holding the phone, "Good job!" Your bodyguard is a good racer. β
"Thank you for the compliment, because of your compliment, I will give Pedro a raise." Jerry looked up at the police helicopter hovering in mid-air, "Where do you want me to go next?" A few minutes? β
Eric laughs, "I've had enough of this kind of game." β
"If so, it's for the best. Mr. Bandits. I will tell the people of Atlanta about your kindness! β
"Still. You've got to do something for me first. β
"You say, I'll listen."
"Hold a press conference to apologize to Catholics around the world?"
Hearing this, Jerry somewhat understood why this guy had to play such a boring game with himself. "Because of the Royal Victoria Square incident?"
"You can't deny it. You have done us the greatest insult. β
"I'm sorry. I can't. β
"You really don't care about those people in Atlanta?"
"You don't look like a devout Catholic at all. True Catholics are not as cruel as you! Do you know how many people died in the Atlanta Police Department branch bombing? Is this the mercy your Lord has told you? β
"You are not qualified to teach me a lesson. You forced it all to do it. β
"It's really going to shirk responsibility. If you are a devout Catholic. You will take revenge on the United States for the legalization of abortion by the U.S. government, and you will not take revenge on me for the so-called Royal Victoria Square Declaration. β
Michelle Kennan, who heard Jerry's words through the listening device, frowned, this guy is really going to shift the spearhead.
You know, the legalization of abortion has caused an uproar among American Catholics no less than the Royal Victoria Square Declaration. The Royal Victoria Square Declaration, that was just a sensational declaration. After a year or so, although there are supporters of Jerry Rothschel in the world, religion still maintains its original trajectory. Devout Catholics continue to believe in Catholicism, devout Christians continue to believe in Christianity, devout Buddhists continue to believe in Buddhism, although the declaration of the Royal Victoria Square has been verified by the Srebrenica massacre, but in their hearts, the Srebrenica massacre is just a coincidence, more content such as the hurricane that landed in the Americas in 1998, such as the earthquake in Turkey in 1999, and the end of the world in 2000, these all need time to be verified.
Catholics, Buddhists, Orthodox Christians, Christians...... Everyone is waiting.
Compared with the Royal Victoria Square Declaration, which is more suitable for time to verify its authenticity, the U.S. government's official marketing of RU-486 abortion drug has had a greater impact on devout Catholics. In 1980, RU-486, developed by French professor Γmile Poleeu and others, can inhibit the secretion of progesterone when the baby is only the size of a grain of rice, causing the uterine wall to peel off, so that the implanted fetus can be separated, so as to excrete it from the body. In 1996, the U.S. government passed a decree to bring the drug, which had been suspended for 12 years, into the market, undoubtedly in disguised support for the legalization of abortion in 1973.
In the past, Catholics could storm abortion centers and smash and loot hospitals and doctors that provided abortions, but since 1996 their anger has become somewhat out of reach.
Because of RU-486.
Yes, just because of the RU-486.
Fewer people go to abortion centers, but more people have abortions.
That's what Catholics see with their eyes, that's what Eric Rudolph sees.
"If you were a devout Catholic, you would take revenge on the United States for legalizing abortion in the U.S. government, and you wouldn't take revenge on me for the so-called Royal Victoria Square Declaration."
Jerry Rothscher, this guy!
Michelle Kennan immediately spoke into the microphone and said, "Are you adding fuel to the fire?" β
Jerry simply took off the action headset that was stuffed in his ear.
Eric laughs, this guy. Interesting. This time, the action was supposed to make the US government ugly in front of the whole world, it was supposed to protest against the legalization of abortion in the United States, and it was meant to protest the listing of RU-486, Jerry Rothschan? It was just an unexpected dessert.
But right now, Eric doesn't want to throw away this mouthful of dessert.
If he could eat this dessert, he would become a hero of the Catholic world.
β¦β¦
Atlanta Police Department Headquarters.
Roy Drews looked at the map of Atlanta hanging on the wall with his hands on his chest.
Today, the map has unmistakably circled the phone booths and call times of the bandits, and the driving routes are constantly being deduced.
Jingle bells. The phone rang again.
"Hey~"
"Thank you very much for your cooperation. Sheriff Drews. β
"Nothing, what else do you need? Money? Private Jets? Something else? β
Eric laughed, "No thanks. I don't need those things. It's 11 p.m. today. Please ensure that all media present in Atlanta. Show up on time at the Olympic Centennial Park. There's a stage set up there, and Jerry Rothschan will have a very interesting press conference there. β
"There's a question I want to know."
"Just ask."
"Do you and your organization have any misunderstandings about us? You always hide from the police, why don't you come out publicly. Do it all at once? β
"Mr. Drews, we are cowards, are you satisfied? Don't waste your time trying to provoke me. β
"Behind every voice is a face."
"I don't have a face like that."
"That's what you think."
"No, I know that."
"So what's the guarantee that you'll tell us where the bomb is after we've done all this?"
"Guaranteed? Do you think they're selling you a product? β
"No, if there were such thoughts, I wouldn't ask you this question."
"Is there anything better for you than to trust me? I'll call you again. β
Eric hung up the phone, in a very happy mood.
"Akas? Traced to the phone no? β
"Atlanta Station, that guy is back to square one."
βFuckο½β
Roy Drews couldn't help but scold.
After the phone booth at Atlanta Station was investigated, all the patrolling police officers in the vicinity had been withdrawn, and who would have guessed that the bandit had quietly returned to all the starting points?
"Do you want to call Charlie?"
Roy Drews shook his head, even if he informed Charlie, who was out on patrol, that by the time he arrived at the phone booth at Atlanta Station, the bandits had already disappeared.
Bill Campbell pushed open the door to the war room and walked in. "Roy, how are things going?"
The opening ceremony of the Olympiad is underway.
After Bill Campbell did what he was supposed to do, he rushed to the Atlanta Police Department headquarters without stopping.
In this situation, he has no intention of staying in the Olympic Arena at all.
"Mr. Mayor, everyone is taking action, but so far we don't have any useful clues. Now, we can only do what he says. β
"It's ridiculous. The state apparatus and the law have become mere spectators! Roy, can't we really do something else? We have so much power, FBI, SWAT, CIA, NSA, why have we become so helpless? Can't we raise the alarm for the people or the media to know? I can't believe how incompetent we have become. β
Roy Drews glanced at Bill Campbell, if you hadn't stopped it, I would have sent a request for help to the FBI and CIA, saying that what happened in Atlanta would have to be solved by Atlanta itself, you think it is easy.
If you just complain, you won't solve the problem at all!
"Mr. Mayor, we are doing our best."
"But you're not trying enough." The thought of three more bombs planted in the city of Atlanta sent a wave of mania to Bill Campbell's heart.
Deputy Mayor Patcy Lehrer walked over, "Mr. Mayor, Roy's handling is very reasonable in the current situation in Atlanta. We should trust His judgment. β
Just then, Martin pushed open the door to the war room and walked in, "Sir, the character puzzle is out." (To be continued......)
