The next day, Jimmy went out and bought a DC map, first determined the location of Tom's safe house, Rick's office address and home address, and importantly, looked at the route and planned his course of action.

Jimmy came out this time without luggage, so he left the room empty-handed. This kind of motel is really smoky, last night there were smoking, humming, chirping, high-profile activities, and I don't know why there was a fight, that's called a lively, the key is that Jimmy can see their situation through the wall, I really don't know what this group of people thinks, he wants to knock on the door and beat people.

If it weren't for safety, I really wouldn't want to live in a motel on the edge of the city, it's too messy.

Jimmy first went to the address Tom gave, a small apartment on the top floor of the apartment building, and only then did he take out the key to open the door after making sure that there was no one inside, of course, he put on gloves in advance, although this kind of room is safe, but it is difficult to ensure that the room Tom prepared is not a spare safe house on the CIA's side, or try not to leave his own information.

Jimmy checked the room and saw a black suitcase under the bedroom window, pulled it out and opened it, and inside was a set of papers, a stack of dollars and a pistol, two spare magazines, and a black pipe next to it that was supposed to be a silencer.

Jimmy checked the pistol, Sig Sauer P226, standard magazine 15 rounds, a total of 45 rounds, tried the silencer, made sure the thread fit could be installed, he removed the silencer and put it in his pocket. The pistol was pinned to the waist, and the two spare magazines were actually a bit much, and there were not many people he had to deal with, but to be on the safe side, he still stuffed it into another pocket.

The documents and money will not be moved, and the money that Jimmy has on him should be enough, and if it really doesn't work, he will use his bank card to get a little backup, which is not a big problem.

Putting the suitcase back under the bed, Jimmy looked at the room again to make sure there was no trace, and then left the house and locked the door.

P226 Jimmy hasn't played before, he used most of the Glock models before, including training, and the county police used 92F, so I still have to try the gun first, anyway, the bullets should be enough.

Jimmy drove out of downtown Washington to Rock Creek Park in the northwest corner, which according to the map was supposed to be a large park forest environment, and most of the other places were inhabited, which was more suitable for him to practice.

The forest environment can absorb the sound of gunfire, especially with a silencer, as long as you enter the forest for a certain distance, you will never hear it outside.

Jimmy found a parking lot and walked to the nearby forest area, where he could easily observe if there were people around him, and when he walked a hundred meters into the forest, he pulled out his pistol, put on a silencer, and shot at a broken area of a large tree.

Pistols such as semi-automatic pistols and revolvers, never consider the long range, 30 meters is about the same, and there are basically few opportunities to use more than 50 meters.

The P226 has no insurance, but is achieved by a standby release lever and a starting double-action trigger. The first bullet directly pulls the trigger is a double-action mode, and after the first shot is fired, it will automatically enter the single-action mode because of the semi-automatic re-chambering mechanism, and if the hammer is pulled first, you can directly start shooting in single-action mode.

This is not the same as the Glock used by Jimmy, Glock uses the trigger safety, the trigger has a partial protrusion, when the trigger is pulled, the protrusion is flush with the other triggers, the internal trigger link is unlocked, the backward force is applied to the trigger again, the trigger travel reaches the specified position to unlock the firing pin safety, and the firing pin is released to complete the design.

Of course, Jimmy also tried the mechanism after getting the pistol, and it was almost the same as it could be done. This also reminded Jimmy that he would have the opportunity to try all the common guns on the market in the future, so as not to know how to use them if he picked them up.

After testing the double-action, single-action and dual-mode, and then trying the feel of the magazine, I made sure that there was no deviation in the close range of the gun's crosshairs, and I was probably familiar with the strength of the trigger, which was reassuring.

After walking out of the forest and looking around, making sure that no one would notice him, Jimmy got back in the car, took off his gloves, and drove back to DC, where he would start watching around the National Research and Analysis Team, after all, it was daytime, and Rick should be there at this time.

The neighborhoods in Washington are very unfriendly to Jimmy, there are not as many people here as in New York, the distance between buildings and rooms is larger, there are not as many remote roads as in New York, and as far as Jimmy's observation is concerned, many intersections are very well monitored, and it is easy to expose himself for what Jimmy is going to do this time.

Carefully walked around the building where Rick worked, and circled the surrounding blocks, but never found a suitable ambush location. These places either have surveillance, or the traffic flow is relatively large, whether it is a car stop or a sneak attack, there is a high possibility of leaving clues.

Jimmy found a second-hand store and went around, bought two clothes, went to the sports equipment store and bought a regular civilian binoculars and ski mask, and bought a cable tie and a flashlight at the hardware store.

Following Rick's way to get off work all the way to his villa, Jimmy found a few places where he could be ambushed at the intersection, but they were not very safe, and he had seen the police patrol car several times along the way, and if he was really found in the middle of the move, it would be easy to leave clues.

Drove around the villa, it looks pretty good, there is no surveillance on the road, but there are traces of cameras in the front and back of Rick's house, and it is difficult to get in without being detected.

Rick, a person in a high position, can't not install monitoring and various alarm equipment at home, and if he wants to sneak in through the door or window, it is estimated that the silent alarm will be triggered directly, and even the host of monitoring may not be in this room, but remotely stored in his office or something.

Jimmy drove the car away, found a restaurant on the side of the road where Rick was home, and waited while eating dinner, it was best to see his car, and it was okay to just touch it in the evening.

At night, Jimmy parked far away from Rick's villa and used a bargain telescope to look at Rick's villa from time to time, and the lights remained unlit until now. This is most likely not Rick's permanent villa, and Jimmy can be sure that there is no one in there right now, and if he can't wait tonight, he will have to go to his place of work tomorrow and wait for him to be followed after work.

Waiting until about 10 o'clock, Jimmy finally noticed that the car lights were on in front of Rick's villa, and after a while, the lights inside the house were also on. There is a play, Jimmy eats a piece of chocolate, drinks some water, observes it with a telescope in the car, and from the window you can see a clear figure moving inside, yes, when midnight comes, Jimmy can go in and try to break the surveillance and try to enter the house.

No one can stop luck when it comes, Jimmy just waited for more than half an hour, and Rick suddenly appeared in the telescope. He opened the door, moved his limbs around the door, twisted his waist, turned around and closed the door and began to run around the community.

Jimmy was a little confused, he didn't have the habit of running at night, and he didn't expect Rick to change into his tracksuit and go for a run when he got home. But this is also considered good luck, the camera in his house is already troublesome, and he voluntarily ran out, just in time for Jimmy's work.

Rick's home is on an arc road in the community, and the direction he runs is the opposite of where Jimmy parked, but according to Jimmy's investigation of the surroundings, he either comes back in a circle, passes by Jimmy's car, or runs to the intersection and turns back, in short, Jimmy is not in a hurry, only there is no one in the place where he is parking, and further on, he enters the field of view of other villas.

Turning his head to look behind, Jimmy soon saw Rick jogging behind him, it seems that he did choose to run around the semi-circular road, good fitness habits, harmful to personal safety, although this is a high-end community.

Jimmy put on a ski hood and pulled the door open, and when Rick was almost behind the car, he pushed the door open and aimed his gun at Rick, "Don't scream, rob." ”

Rick was running when he suddenly saw a black man get out of the black car in front of him, raised his gun and aimed it at himself, and immediately turned from jogging to falling to the side. Jimmy didn't give him a chance to dodge the return fire, and fired two shots directly, and the sound of the pistol with a silencer was still not small, and he found it when he was in the forest before, so Jimmy didn't plan to wait too long.

Rick threw himself on the nearby lawn, he was going to rush behind the nearby flower wall, but as Jimmy fired, he knew there was no way to dodge, and he was shot in the leg. "Hey, stop, I'm surrendering."

Jimmy watched as Rick raised his hands and walked over "Don't move." Grabbing his hand and twisting it behind his back, he pulled out the cable tie and tied it, and after a brief body search, he said, "Stand up and get in the car." ”

Rick limped to Jimmy to the car and sat in the back seat. Jimmy got to the cab and started the car to leave Rick's house, and Rick saw the direction they were leaving behind him, and his face changed very badly, "Who are you?" ”

Jimmy ignored him, "Shut up." ”

Rick didn't shut up at all, "Do I know you?" Why? Who asked you to come? ”

Jimmy didn't pay any attention to him after saying shut up twice, and drove north to Maryland, bypassing Brydensburg, on the border between Maryland and Washington, D.C., and finding a suburb where there were no people, so Jimmy parked the car next to the roadside woods.

"Get out of the car." Jimmy took Rick into the woods and made sure there was no one around, then pushed Rick to the ground, Rick sat up against the tree and looked at Jimmy, "Can you tell me who you are now?" ”

Jimmy took off his ski mask, took out a flashlight and turned it on, shining it on his face, "Do you have an impression now?" ”

"Jimmy, how did you find me?" Who told you that? Rick's mood suddenly became very excited, he had been guessing what was going on since he was kidnapped, because it had been fine for two months, he thought that Jimmy had not found them at all, and was just guessing what enemy he had before.

Jimmy: "Looks like you know who I am, tell me, what was going on?" ”

Rick: "It was just a misunderstanding, and after the operation we found out that you weren't in the plan, so we stopped all follow-ups. You should know that there haven't been any attacks against you since then. ”

Jimmy shook his head: "You're lying. ”

Rick: "I'm not lying, since you've found it, you must already know the contents of the Stumbling Blocks Project, we're only targeting people who enter the experiment, you're in the control group, and you're not participating in our plan at all." ”

Jimmy: "From the beginning, I think you should have made up the lie perfectly. We have plenty of time, now, let's get started. ”

Rick sighed, "So, I don't have a chance, right?" ”

Jimmy: "Everyone has to pay for their actions. ”

Rick: "Fxxk! I knew it. Rick took a deep breath and said, "OK! OK！ It's not me who wants to kill you, I'm just helping people out, and you should be looking for Nick Sullivan, who asked me to add your name to the operation. ”

Jimmy: "Who is he?" ”

Rick: "An intelligence broker, publicly identified as a lobbyist, whose main scope of activity is the Department of Defense and DHS, and there are also some connections on the CIA's side. ”

Jimmy: "Why against me?" ”

Rick: "I don't know, you were in the stumbling block plan, but we didn't have any plans involved, so there was no action against you in the previous arrangement. Later, Sullivan approached me, and I added you to the cleanup plan because I owed him a favor for something, but after the sniper failed, we stopped the operation against you completely. ”

Jimmy: "How many attacks?" ”

Rick: "Only once. ”

Jimmy looked at Rick, he was a bit broken now, so what he said should be a lot true, then that ambush of the five-man team......

Jimmy: "Where's Nick Sullivan?" ”

Rick gave an address, and said, "Come on, you've got so much training, it's okay to kill him." Do it. ”

Jimmy: "Any last words?" ”

Rick: "Let's do it. ”

"Bang", after the shooting, Jimmy took out the small folding knife he was carrying, removed the cable tie from Rick's wrist, took off his fanny pack, and returned to the car. He checked the back seat, Rick was bleeding a lot from the wound on his leg, and now there were blood stains on the back seat and the floor, this car can't be wanted, and it needs to be taken care of.

Instead of driving straight back to DC, Jimmy drove along the road for a while until he found a small river, parked the car by the river, and flushed the back seat with the water.

In the dark of night, Jimmy didn't use the lights and flashlights at all, and only after rinsing twice did he use the flashlight to check that there was no obvious blood on the saddle and floor surface, and then returned to the road, found a motel, abandoned the car outside, and went into the motel to rest.

Lying on the bed, Jimmy recalled Rick's words, Nick Sullivan, went to Little Rock to find Jimmy's relatives and friends and Roy Nelson, who monitored James, was also arranged by this Nick Sullivan, and it seems that this Sullivan is Greg's external contact.
