Chapter 545: By the Hudson River
Don't look at Jack's confident comfort to Cassel, but when it comes to the specific planning of the action, he is the most nervous one.
His previous protagonist aura theory is just talking, this is a real world after all, and his previous experience has repeatedly proved that there is no plot line that cannot be changed.
According to his memory, the character of Alexis in "Psychic Detective" was safe and happy until the end of the play, but the current plot is obviously chaotic, and it is obviously his own butterfly that flashes its wings.
According to the assessment of analysts at the Operations Center, the likelihood of Alexis being involved in the operation is extremely low, even less than the risk of paying a ransom in the kidnapping case.
Jack also repeatedly deduced the behavior of the "Greenbird" from the perspective of psychological profiling.
Whether it is from the fact that he hides behind the Internet to manipulate those underage girls, or is very scheming to set up a small mechanism on the sprayer to kill people, this guy is more inclined to use intrigue than violence in terms of behavior.
Still, Jack was relieved to take a trip to the riverside guardrail at Lighthouse Park to check the nearby terrain and check the park's daily traffic in recent weeks.
At night, the father and daughter were sent to a safe house by several FBI agents, and until the end of the case, they were forbidden from any contact with the outside world, and Jack specially arranged for two female agents to follow Tara 24 hours a day.
Whether it's a movie or a TV series, a lot of shit plots take place in this kind of unexpected place, what is obviously an ordinary person's character who can get rid of professional agents, enter the safe house and use the phone to contact the outside world, and even post to Moments to expose his location.
If there can be an accident under such a meticulous arrangement, he can only admit it.
The FBI-SWAT squad's operations captain was caught by Jack and studied the map over and over again, from where Alexis was standing, to the distance between the civilian crew members who could provide cover recently, to the sturdiness of the riverside railings, to the speedboats on the Hudson River disguised as yachts.
After formulating N sets of preparatory plans, the originally dark sky turned white, and Cassel watched it all night with coffee in his hand, and his expression gradually changed from tight to relaxed.
"Alexis is the smartest girl in the world, she won't put herself in danger by making a decision, and these arrangements should be enough."
Jack glanced at him without a trace, and said in his heart that your daughter is indeed much more reliable than you, if you don't know how unreliable you are as a father, and follow others to death for the sake of a beautiful female police detective, he will not find a way to tie this father and daughter with the FBI.
Now that the Kassel father and daughter are good citizens who take the initiative to cooperate with the FBI, and they are well-known writers, they can naturally help when this guy gets involved in the unsolved case of Beckett's mother and gets into big trouble in the future.
He vaguely remembered that the big boss behind him was a councillor or something, and in the end, although Beckett got the evidence, he had no choice but to compromise for the sake of his relatives and friends.
The next morning, everyone began to prepare, and now that the temperature in New York is not very high, Hannah found a small body armor for Alexis to wear closely, and put on a coat outside, which will not look obtrusive.
Jubal brought several jewelry boxes containing hidden bugs disguised as different styles of earrings for her to choose from.
"Look around, but don't stay in one place for too long, especially where the plainclothes agent is, Hannah will dress up as a fitness passerby, just behind the nearest tree, at a distance where her rapid-fire level can shoot down a pigeon in flight."
Jack instructed the girl Masase, "When the time comes, all the tourists and ordinary people around will be our people, and there will be a total of 20 plainclothes guards by your side."
In addition to me, there will be two snipers ambushed in the distance, so as long as you don't get nervous and let the other party notice the anomaly, there will be no danger.
Also, remember not to reach out for anything that is handed to you. ”
Alexis tilted her head and smiled sweetly, "Normally, I should be a little nervous, after all, I'm a minor planning to run away from home. ”
"Clever girl." Dana Moge seemed to like the clever little girl very much, and put her arm around her shoulders and encouraged her.
"From now on, you are Tara, you have read all her information, and you know what happened to her, you behaved very well yesterday, and I believe there will be no problem today."
Before 10 a.m., the group moved to the caretaker's hut in Lighthouse Park, where the logistics department had been set up overnight, disguised as maintenance workers, and turned it into a temporary surveillance point.
In order to avoid alarming the snakes, from last night to now, no uniformed people have been seen near the riverside guardrail, and all hidden monitors have been installed in the distance.
In addition to this temporary monitoring point, the scene is also being broadcast simultaneously on the big screen in the operation center.
Jubal was on another trip to the field, and at this time he was in charge of the temporary surveillance point, in charge of on-site command, and the combat center was temporarily handed over to Dana Moge.
At 11:30 a.m., everyone was in place, and several female detectives in civilian clothes carried picnic baskets and spread plastic sheeting on the lawn not far from the riverside guardrail, disguised as tourists who came for a picnic.
Today's weather was as sunny as forecast, with the sun shining through the leaves and a few children screaming and chasing around the trees.
"Are those of your plainclothes agents too?" Kassel asked, pointing incredulously at the children, who were no more than seven or eight years old.
This guy didn't want to stay in the cabin and watch his daughter take risks through the monitor, so Jack arranged him to be his observer, anyway, he was used to playing sniper alone, there was a system to open, and it didn't matter if he had an observer.
After confirming that there was nothing unusual around him, Jack set up his Remington 700PSS sniper rifle, was speechless at the stupid statement, and explained in a low voice.
"It's impossible for us to drive ordinary people away from this neighborhood, because that would easily arouse suspicion, and no one can guarantee that there is no hidden eyeliner in it."
"Uh-oh." Cassell, who was lying on the roof of the building, continued to look around with a telescope, and was about to continue to ask something more, when Jack turned his head and whispered into the headset.
"Charlie 2, get ready, let the chicks out of the cage."
"The base received, the chicks are out of the cage." Jubal's voice came from the channel.
Soon, Alexis, with her hands in her pockets, walked along the promenade by the river, stopped near the railing, looked left and right, took out her mobile phone and looked at the time, then lowered her hair and looked like someone else.
Time passed little by little, and seeing that it was past 12 o'clock, Cassel became a little anxious, "How long will you have to wait?" ”
"Wait until the other party finds her." Jack said in a calm voice.
Hannah, who had been jogging along the riverside promenade in a tracksuit, stopped and pretended to be tired to rest behind a large tree closest to Alexis.
"A suspicious target was spotted, female, hooded, black top, 50 yards away, approaching from the south."
Jack moved his scope slightly, and soon spotted the suspicious target indicated by Hannah, who was located on the top of a clock tower more than 300 yards from the railing of the river, and the position was very hidden, and the viewing angle was also very good.
Cassel, who was watching with a telescope next to him, wondered, "I thought that guy named 'Greenbird' was going to be a man." ”
"Who knows, maybe this fake identity is more fake than we thought, or maybe she was just sent by 'Greenbird', and according to that guy's style, the latter is obviously more likely."
Jack closed his mouth and put the woman's head firmly into the ring of the scope, it didn't matter what the others thought, in his opinion, Alexis's safety was the most important thing.
As long as the suspicious target exhibits any dangerous moves, he will not hesitate to pull the trigger.
In order to avoid arousing suspicion, Hannah is now stretching with her back against a large tree, lacking a viewing angle, but there is also a group of agents who use high-powered surveillance to hide in the buildings on the other side of the Hudson River.
They were more than 2,000 yards away, but the angle of view was excellent, just enough to see the woman's face, and the expression was clearly visible.
"Confirm the target." The agent reported that the woman in the plain headscarf walked straight up to Alexis, holding a photograph in her hand, and after confirming her palm-sized face, she smiled.
"Tara?"
"Ah, it's me." Alexis nodded, and subconsciously brushed her windswept hair with her hands.
"For security reasons, 'Greenbird' can't come in person, but he's touched by your piety," the Baotou woman's voice came into the communication channel clearly through two small studs worn on Alexis' earlobes.
"Steady, don't rush, see what she's going to ask Tara to do." Jubal ordered.
