Chapter 495: Isabel's Story
After borrowing an office from the Dallas Mounted Police Department and taking notes for Isabel, Jane and Jack took her back to the Four Seasons Hotel, where they could only temporarily accommodate her until Matt's results were reached.
Jack felt that this little girl was quite interesting, and after realizing that she was safe, she didn't care about the whereabouts of the old DU owl father who was arrested with him for the first time, but tried to knock on the side, if there was any way not to be sent back to Mexico.
Are all children in the rebellious period like this? You must know that even in the United States, there are not many 16-year-old girls who can live a good life like her, with a luxurious villa and dozens of servants and servants.
Could it be that this experience scared this little girl? Or was she aware of something, just a clumsy void and a snake?
Jack said that he was very interested in this, Matt was interrogating Carlos Reyes, and he could also think of a way to get some words from the little girl.
Isabel was in a bathrobe and startled when she walked out of the bathroom, where the young F.B.I., who had saved her from the robbers, was sitting on the couch with a cell phone in her hand, seemingly having a happy conversation with someone.
The girl subconsciously covered her chest, took half a step back, put one hand on the door, and was ready to retreat into the bathroom and lock the door when the situation was not good.
The vigilance is quite high, Jack has a black line in his head, who does this little girl who hasn't grown up look down on?
He put his hand on the coffee table next to the sofa and pushed the glass of milk above it in her direction, "Sit down and have a drink, Jane is going to buy you clothes." ”
The girl picked up the milk, her face full of resistance, but she didn't dare to squeak, her eyes staring at the glass of whiskey in his hand without blinking.
Jack sighed, tapped his fingers lightly on the table, motioned for her to put the glass down, then picked up the whiskey, poured a little into the milk, and stirred it with a spoon.
"Don't let Jane know, or she won't spare me."
The drinking age limit in Mexico is 18 years old, Canada is about the same, and the United States is 21 years old, so every year, a large number of old American college students cross the border to these two countries, just to get drunk.
This girl is 16 years old, and according to the cyris's imaginary age algorithm, it can be counted as 18 if rounded.
Of course, this is just a joke, mainly because one or two whiskeys are mixed into milk, which really does not have any substantial effect, but can minimize the vigilance of the little girl and facilitate the conversation later.
In addition, she was indeed frightened a lot today, and I hope that this little bit of alcohol can give her a good night's sleep.
Sure enough, Isabel took a sip of her cup and happily sat down across from him.
It's too easy to coax, Jack secretly thought in his heart, inexplicably remembering the family dinner when he was a child, his grandfather held a chopstick, dipped the white wine in the cup to tease himself, and laughed when he saw that he was grinning with spicy teeth.
He took a sip of his own whiskey, "I thought you'd have a lot of questions for me." ”
"Would you answer then?" Maybe it's because of the mood that has improved, or maybe because of what he just did, he thinks that the FBI agent in front of him is a good talker, and Isabel has regained some of her teenage nature.
"It depends on the situation, how do you know without asking?"
Jack replied with a smile, this girl is not a passerby character at first glance, she is very smart, but she doesn't know which movie it is.
I think she should have a lot of roles, and I can't figure out that in the original play, she will have a similar scene to Matt or Alejandro in "This Killer is Not Too Cold", Hollywood especially likes to play this kind of routine.
"You should find out who I am, right?" Isabel asked.
Jack groaned, "You mean, the little princess of the Reyes Gang?" ”
Isabel lowered her head, her mood falling again, "You guys, have you found his body?" ”
"Him?" Jack was a little surprised, her wording was kind of meaningful, "Are you referring to your father, Carlos Reyes?" I saw on the news in Mexico that he was kidnapped with you, but there was no trace of him in the place where we found you. ”
He paused, then added, "We're not even sure if he was kidnapped into the United States." ”
Even when faced with a minor, Jack always remembers the role he is currently playing, and his words are always watery.
Isabel held the milk glass motionless, her big eyes hidden behind her kept spinning, and she stammered tentatively for a long time, "If, I mean if, can I join the WPP if I can provide some testimony?" ”
WPP is the federal witness protection program, does this girl really want to stay in the United States incognito?
Jack was a little puzzled, although the information provided by the CIA was specific to her age and blood type, but there was no detailed description of the internal situation of the Reyes family, probably because the scale of this DU trafficking group was not enough for the DEA or the CIA to think that it was necessary to send undercover agents to go deep into the interior.
So, was this little girl saying this sentence on the spur of the moment of adolescent rebelliousness, or did she have already had this idea for a long time?
"You know that if you join WPP, you will cut off all contact with all your family and friends, right?"
Jack didn't ask her what evidence she wanted to provide, Carlos was in their hands, and it was only a matter of time before he got any evidence, but he was curious about what the little girl wanted to do.
Isabel subconsciously touched the blood marks on her cheeks, and a few tears fell involuntarily, melted into the cup and disappeared.
"I don't have any relatives anymore, and I've never had friends, and at school, they all call me a drug cousin."
"That's why you got into a fight at school today?" Jack struggled to keep his mind on the underage girl in front of him.
"Yes, I called back, and I punched the watch into the infirmary."
"But as far as I know, although your father doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, you still have a brother."
——
As Jane returns to the room with a bag of clothes and feminine items, Jack almost understands the contradictions within the Reyes gang through Isabel's narration.
To put it simply, Carlos Sr., who belongs to the "conservatives", and Carlos Jr., the son of the "radicals", have a dispute over the line.
Old Carlos as an old man who witnessed the ups and downs of several super big DU owls such as "Medellin" and "Shorty Guzmán" from the 80s to the present,
In addition to controlling the size of the gang, he is also trying to maintain relations with local civilians, following the old path of the traditional Latin American DU group.
And his son Carlos Jr. firmly believes that if he does not advance, he will retreat, and he does not hesitate to go against his father's wishes and marry the daughter of a small boss of "CJGG".
They are also trying in every possible way to introduce the "CJGG" DU laboratory into the territory of the Reyes gang and open up an illegal drug sales channel from the land to the hinterland of the United States.
Today's Reyes gang has shown signs of splitting, and the old people who used to follow the old Carlos to "fight the world" are obviously more inclined to defend and stand on the side of the old Carlos.
And the young people in the gang who are eager to be on the top have long seen that the old guys who are enjoying their success are not pleasing to the eye, after all, the old guys are not dead, how can they have a chance to get on the top, so naturally they are all on the side of little Carlos.
Now that the balance on both sides has long been unbalanced, Carlos Jr. has not only received foreign aid through marriage, but also the help of the "expert group".
Jack's previous information from Alarcón was slightly discrete, and Ian Doyle was indeed working for Carlos Reyes, but not for the old ones, but for the younger Carlos to train his men and provide weapons.
Old Carlos was unwilling, after all, he was only in his 50s, far from the age of abdication, and there were a bunch of old guys around him who were instigating, so he came up with a crooked trick, "Harmony".
