Chapter II: Action
in the hall.
The members of the operation team hoisted the two people below with ropes.
"Thank you, thank you." Drake thanked the team members who pulled him up.
"You're welcome." The Commander walked up to him, "Nathan Drake? ”
"It's me." Drake was slightly stunned, then nodded inexplicably.
"So this must be Mr. Warren Rikkin, right?" The commander looked at the blonde man next to him, who was tidying up his grooming outfit.
Warren Rikkin nodded, his face cold: "That's right. ”
"That's right." The commander waved his hand, "Grab it." ”
The next moment, several members of the action team next to him immediately stepped forward, grabbed the arms of the two people and buckled them behind them, took out the restraint straps on their bodies and tied the hands of the two respectively.
Drake bent down all of a sudden, and shouted, "Your Excellency, commander, is there some misunderstanding?" ”
"Misunderstanding? Not really. The commander replied faintly.
"Do you know who I am? Do you know the consequences of your doing this? Warren Rikkin looked ugly and said coldly.
The commander shrugged: "Warren Rikkin, CEO of Abstergo, a Fortune 500 company. I'm sorry, but your arrest was personally ordered by His Excellency the Home Secretary, and if there is anything you should say to him, or to the Prime Minister. I'm just in charge of carrying out the order. ”
After speaking, he said to the action team: "Take them out and execute them according to the original plan." ”
"Yes, sir."
One of the team members answered, and then the four members of the operation team escorted two of them to the passage. There are also two team members in the front and two escorts.
The commander shouted to the remaining operatives, "Seal this place and clean it up to see if there are any remaining enemies." Also, contact the above and report the situation. There's something weird about this ghost place. ”
The team members scattered.
The commander looked around, turned to look at the pile of bullets on the ground, and after a moment's pause, he suddenly pulled out his pistol and fired a shot at the ground.
Bang!
All the team members were startled, and they all raised their guns in a defensive posture while looking in the direction where the gunshots came from.
But they only saw their commander standing there stunned with a pistol in hand.
The team members looked at each other, not understanding what kind of nerves their superiors were having.
The commander didn't notice the reaction of his subordinates, staring at the ground, feeling like he was overwhelmed.
In front of his gaze, there was a clear bullet hole in the ground.
……
Abstergo Industries' headquarters in London, UK.
Police lights flashed, and dense police cars and explosion-proof vehicles surrounded the surroundings. Two helicopters hovered in the sky.
Police cordoned off nearby streets, heavily armed MI5 operatives scattered around, black muzzles aimed in the direction of the gates.
Upstairs nearby, snipers from the police and MI5 also locked the gate with sniper rifles.
There was silence in front of the headquarters building, and all the police officers and operatives held their breath and stared at the gate without blinking.
The atmosphere was tense to the extreme.
After a few moments, the commander picked up the radio: "Attention, there's movement." Everyone, steady, no fire is allowed without an order. Repeated, no fire was allowed without an order. ”
The sound of footsteps sounded unhurriedly, and a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes appeared in everyone's sight.
He stood at the gate, looking around at the police and MI5 units waiting outside, and his eyes showed a complicated look.
After a moment's pause, he stepped along, stepping down the marble staircase.
An official greeted him.
The middle-aged man said lightly: "We will cooperate with your search, but I don't want any personnel or property in the company to suffer." ”
"Rest assured, I can vouch for that." The official nodded, then turned slightly and waved his hand.
Two columns of operatives in black combat uniforms immediately rushed towards the building.
……
Crawford Manor.
In the spacious and bright hall, a petite girl with brown hair tied into a ponytail walked around restlessly.
"Laura, sit down and rest for a while." Rose, leaning back on the couch, said, "You can't help it. Rest assured, they'll be fine. ”
Laura pursed her lips tightly and didn't speak, just kept walking back and forth.
At this moment, the sound of a car engine sounded outside.
Laura immediately turned around and walked quickly outside.
Rose sighed at this, shook his head, got up from the couch as well, and walked outside.
When I came outside, it was an official vehicle from the government.
A government agent was talking to Laura.
After a few moments, the man glanced up at Rose, then turned and got into the car, and the sedan drove away from the manor.
"What's going on?" Rose walked up to Laura, looked at the departing vehicle, and asked.
"Her Majesty wants me to be able to see her tomorrow." Laura said.
"Did the messenger say anything else?" Rose asked.
"Nope." Laura shook her head and reached out to cover her face, "I asked what the outcome of this operation was on the part of the government. But he didn't know anything. ”
"Maybe I don't dare to say it." Rose thought for a moment, then patted the girl on the shoulder, "Don't worry, Laura. Since Her Majesty wants to see you, then even in the worst-case scenario, Sue is caught by them, and there is still room for negotiation in the matter. We didn't do anything too out of the ordinary in this incident, and the royal family and the government should not be able to hold on to it. ”
After a pause, he said, "Besides, since the police have already taken action against Abstergo Industries, and even MI5 is involved, it means that they have determined that the mastermind is someone from Abstergo's side." With the present state of public opinion, it is impossible for the government to take any more drastic measures against the Soviet Union. ”
"That's what Sam did." Laura said suddenly.
"What?" Rose was stunned.
Laura pursed her lips: "All these things that help Sue are all done by Sam. I didn't do anything. ”
Hearing this, Ross suddenly frowned.
He knew that Laura was starting to drill again.
"Listen, Laura......" he took a deep breath and tried to persuade.
Laura interrupted him, "I've figured it out, Rose. ”
The girl raised her head, her brown eyes looked at Rose, and her eyes were bright: "I had too many restraints on my body before. I must always keep an eye on the reputation of the Crawford family and my status as the heir to the Crawford family. Especially when I'm about to inherit the Crawford family title......"
"Like Sam said, I can't do anything for Sue. No, I thought I couldn't. However, in fact, in my heart, Subi is more important than everything! If you lose him, even if you get everything else, you ......"
