Jack secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it was his idea to secretly monitor and protect the agent, and Emily was injured because of this, which cannot be said to be his responsibility, but it was inevitable that he would be a little uncomfortable.

Red and Leila, who were in the house, also walked out at this time, "What happened?" ”

"Your agent Mike was attacked and sent to the hospital, and Emily, who was protecting him, was also shot, but fortunately was blocked by body armor."

Jack saw Lyra's tears burst out of his eyes instantly, and hurriedly comforted, "It's okay, Mike's life is not in danger." ”

Leila hurried back to the house to get a coat, "Can you take me to the hospital?" ”

Jack nodded, "Let's do it together." ”

——

It's been a long time since I've been to the Central Hospital, and when I smell the familiar smell of disinfectant, Jack actually feels a little nostalgic for revisiting the old place.

In the emergency ward, everyone meets Emily, who has just finished a check-up.

"Luckily, the murderer used the small-caliber Point 22 pistol from before." Jack examines the body armor she's taken off, which is embedded with a deformed lead-core bullet.

"I thought Jack would be the first person in our group to get shot, ah, I'm sorry, my fault." As soon as Rossi spoke, he realized that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly knocked his finger on the wooden door three times.

Jack smiled indifferently and put the body armor in a large bag, which was also considered evidence.

"The murderer has been lying in ambush near Mike's office, and as soon as he and I walked out of the building, we heard the sudden sound of a motorcycle engine, but it was too late, Jack's previous speculation was correct, and the other party did target the agent."

Emily moved her arm, and she reacted very quickly, and immediately pressed her agent Mike to the ground as soon as she noticed something was wrong.

So she was shot in the back shoulder blade.

"But I don't understand, Mike is just a friend to Layla, why would the killer target him?" Jiejie was puzzled.

"Because his act of taking Leila to the police station was seen as a threat by the killer, the police intervention escalated the killer's behavior." ”

"Jiejie, you are in charge of the media, temporarily block the news." He paused, then looked at Rossi.

"Shall we hide Lyra first?"

Rosie was also a little hesitant, "Do you want to force the murderer to show up?" If he doesn't have a chance to get close at all, and doesn't even see Lyra, he may be forced to show up, but he was a crush before, and it could backfire. ”

"And what if we leave a little chance?"

Jack proposed, "Garcia checked all of Lyra's interview records and social accounts, and she didn't reveal to the outside world that she liked pink anemone the most, so the killer was likely to be someone very close to Lyra."

We just need to let the LAPD make a protective gesture to the outside world, let Leila stay in her house and not go anywhere, leave a police car outside, I will hide near her house, and with Red's personal protection, maybe the murderer will fall into the net. ”

Hodgner and Rossi looked at each other again and nodded together.

"You can try."

"Hope it works."

——

Soon the agent Mike's surgery was also completed and he was sent to the ICU for observation.

Some people often joke that the point 22 bullet can only hit rabbits and mice, but in fact, this small-caliber bullet is still quite troublesome, and after hitting the torso, it is likely to bounce in the body because of the lack of penetration.

When President Reagan was shot in the lung, doctors could not find the bullet because the bullet was so small that the surgeon even suspected that the bullet had entered the blood vessels.

Mike was in the lucky category, and the doctor easily found the warhead and repaired the damaged artery.

Laila, who was waiting outside the operating room to cry, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mike is like my family."

The girl directly pulled Red's sleeve to wipe her tears, is this some tradition of Texas girls?

Jack watched her movements, and inexplicably thought of Hannah, who also used his clothes as handkerchiefs.

"You know, it's really hard to trust people to survive in Hollywood, you don't know who to trust, and with a little bit of fame, everybody wants to get something out of you.

Only Mike is different, he always laughs at himself for being a failed agent, because he is too emotional, and will even push some of his successful artists to others, just so that the other party can get better resources.

I really don't know if I'll stay in Los Angeles if I lose him. ”

Looking at Rhett, who was at a loss and didn't know how to comfort the girl, Jack stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.

"Take Leila home, the LAPD will be protected here."

Several of them stayed up all night, and they were sleepy and tired at this time, which was not suitable for dealing with emergencies.

Returning the two to his cottage in West Hollywood, Jack drove his Mammoth up the hill before stopping in a clearing next to a winding road.

From here, you can clearly overlook the small villa four or five hundred meters away, and there are no people around, which is a good observation point.

In this way, he went from day to night, and after dark, Jiejie brought him something to eat, and brought him the Barrett MK22 from BAU for him.

"Hodgner and Rossi spotted a stalker, Joe Martinis, and found a large number of candid photographs at his residence, as well as a notice leaflet detailing Leila's possible travel plans in the near future."

Jack frowned and nibbled on the burger and shook his head, "He's not a profiler, he's just a paparazzi." ”

"Rosie said the same thing, but until this guy is found, his suspicions can't be completely ruled out." Jiejie said as she watched the villa for Jack.

At this time, the lights in the bedroom in the villa came on, and Laila, who seemed to be catching up on sleep, got up, and not long after, the lights in the living room also came on, and Rhett, who was sleeping on the sofa, also got up.

"Guys?"

Rhett's voice came from their headsets.

"What's it like to be in the same room with a beautiful girl for a long time?" Jack teased him with a wicked grin.

"I feel ten years older, oh no, Leila, what are you going to do?"

Before Red could finish speaking, he heard the girl's silver bell-like laughter in the headphones.

"It's worthy of a star, and he has a great figure." Sitting on the high hood of the "mammoth", Jie Jie also laughed out loud with a telescope and looked at the villa below.

"What's wrong?" Jack nibbled on the burger in two bites, set up Barrett, and looked down from the scope with night vision goggles.

I saw Red standing by the pool, talking to the "mermaid" in the pool.

He didn't open the mic, and the two couldn't hear their conversation, but his body language showed that he was trying to persuade the other to stay in the house as much as possible.

"This girl has a good personality, and I like her." Before Jiejie could finish speaking, she saw Leila get Ridra out of the pool, and then took the initiative to kiss her.

"Wow, it's a pity there's no way to take a picture of this, this can't be Rhett's first kiss, right?" Jack felt that his hard work was not in vain, and this wave of melons did not suffer a loss.

"Emily is going to cry, she should have come to bring you food, I told her to rest at home." Jiejie also felt that blood was earned.

"Let's go, I think I've found the paparazzi." Jack put away the gun, hugged Jiejie off the hood, and stole a fragrance by the way.
