Chapter 549: Medal for Merit and Achievement
Ferries are second only to the subway as a public transportation option for New Yorkers, and are best known for the ferry route between Manhattan and Staten Island, which is used by 20 million visitors each year to see the Statue of Liberty.
In addition to free sightseeing ferries, there are commuter ferries that cost about the same as the subway, and the furthest route can go directly from Manhattan Island to Long Island.
Many commuters hate the dirty and smelly subway and are willing to spend a little more time commuting by using these fast ferries, so the ferry terminal south of Manhattan Island is directly named "water taxi".
The ferry ticket Hannah found in Hajima Bas's backpack was the one to New Jersey.
"Danny, tell your men to suspend this ferry immediately, I'll leave it to you first, and we'll get to the dock now."
Danny Reagan gestured OK, "It's all done give me a call, my dad wants to invite you to our family's lunch party for the weekend." ”
"Roger, I'll get back to it." Jack took Hannah and walked back as he took out the phone and called Dana Moge, this kind of thing still has to be made up by the leader.
The Dodge Hellcat swayed away with its siren in the squeaky sound of the tires, and Danny Reagan looked up enviously, only to see a car butt.
It stands to reason that the salary of the NYPD's first-class police detective is higher than that of the FBI's senior detective, but this kid went out to handle cases, but he was stunned that there were many beautiful women, and he lived in a luxurious penthouse.
Thinking of himself back then, he was also a prodigal son in the New York social scene, but when he was middle-aged, how could he be.
By the time the two arrived at the ferry terminal, the entrance and exit had been blocked by more than a dozen NYPD officers, and a chubby black captain was waiting on the steps leading to the terminal.
"According to your request, we quietly blocked the entrances and exits, and the ferries were all stopped, and the waiting passengers did not notice the abnormality for the time being, but it is difficult to say if it takes a little longer."
"Have you found any signs of Burram?" Hannah asked.
The black captain shook his head, "I'm worried about alarming the other party, I only sent three young men down to scatter and search, don't you have a clear picture?" ”
"Nope." Jack shook his head helplessly, the ferry terminal is not like the previous municipal park is full of cameras, and Jubal's side can't help for the time being.
He thought about it, opened the trunk directly, took out two body armor with the words FBI printed on them, threw one to Hannah, put it on himself, and then brought the communicator.
This outfit, coupled with the figures and appearances of the two, can be described as quite conspicuous, Jack still felt that it was not enough, beckoned to the black captain, and called a few heavily armed police officers to follow.
Such an appearance is enough to attract the attention of everyone on the dock.
The area of the dock is not small, and there are one or two hundred passengers boarding the ship, but it does not seem crowded, and the group walks down the steps, which immediately attracts the attention of most people.
Jack put his hand on Glock's holster, his perception was fully open, and his gaze swept over the faces that were either surprised or confused, this was his plan, since the photo was not clear enough, then simply let the other party be nervous and take the initiative to expose.
Khalid Burram is a Nigerian, multi-generational mulatto with little black features, and Jack quickly identifies the passengers waiting for the ferry until his eyes fall on a man with a peaked cap leaning against a pillar.
Seeing that it was the FBI and the NYPD group, many passengers noticed that something was wrong, and they all hid to the side, whispering, and the man in the cap seemed to sense something, and when he turned around, he just collided with the gaze of Jack, who was staring at him.
He turned his head casually, tightened his backpack on his straddle, and forced his composure to walk towards the rows of benches at the end of the pier.
"It's him!" Jack reminded Hannah beside him in a deep voice, and the latter immediately ordered the NYPD behind them to disperse and evacuate the people around them.
"Khalid Burram!"
Jack roared, pulled out Glock and pounced, and Khalid Burram quickly threw away his backpack at the sound of the voice, and suddenly accelerated towards the crowd.
"Ahh Screams erupted, and the crowd began to flee in panic, Jack's eyes fixed on each other, the muzzle of the gun locked on his head.
"Don't come here!" Burram grabbed a black woman, strangled her, pulled out a dagger, and turned around to threaten Jack, who was no more than three or four meters away from him.
"Bang!" "Bang!"
Two gunshots rang out almost at the same time, and Berram, who was about to say something, fell down on his back in the sky, and the woman who was kidnapped screamed in fright, and rushed towards a NYDP officer without looking back.
Sure enough, they were all fanatics with brain problems, and Jack didn't shoot at the first time, not because he was worried that he would miss, but because he didn't want innocent people to appear in his gun line.
Although Glock has average penetration, it is not impossible for him to be unlucky to wear two at once, so he chose to shorten the distance between them as much as possible.
Hannah thought the same thing as him, and before the knife could reach the hostage's neck, she chose to shoot directly.
The two continued to point their guns at the fallen Burram, and Jack took a few steps forward to kick the knife off the ground, making sure that the guy was too dead to die, and then crouched down to examine the body.
This is a chemical expert, who knows if there are any dangerous items hidden on his body, and you must know that Lao Mei will not do security checks on either the subway or the ferry.
——
It didn't take a few days to solve a terrorist attack, but the report was written until the weekend, and now without the help of the genius Encyclopedia Red, Jack had to bury his head in the case and spend several days in a small office typing reports.
At 9 p.m. on Friday night, Jack easily completed all the reports, walked out of the office dizzily, and met the female boss with a spring breeze.
"Congratulations Jack, you might be on a trip to Washington, D.C. later."
Jack's mouth opened slightly, a little surprised, only to hear Dana Moge continue, "In recognition of your previous heroic actions in the Dallas supermarket attack, the Director has decided to personally present you with a 'Medal of Merit and Achievement'. ”
Ah, this, it's been almost half a year, right?
Jack complained in his heart, but a smile quickly appeared on his face, and he quickly shook hands with his female boss.
A few months ago, Jack had been on a trip to Dallas because of Walker's injury, and as a result of a suicide attack at the local supermarket, he shot and killed an assailant who was blocking the door and tried to blow himself up, and rushed into the fire to rescue a baby.
After that, the FBI didn't make any moves, he thought that the matter was over, but now the old thing is brought up, and I don't know if it was the bureaucracy's consistent procrastination, or Rossi's plan to "make a name" for him worked.
Although the "Merit Achievement Medal" is only a medal within the FBI, it is also to be notified globally, and a commendation conference will be held to let the winners come to the stage to receive the award, which is a big "face".
Of course, the commendation meeting was not held for him alone, and there will be some other medal winners, but a photo of him and the director of the bureau will definitely appear in the newspaper, which means that he will be able to return to BAU soon? So what about Hannah?
"Rosie promised to lend you to me for at least three years." Seeing his worried look, the female boss seemed to see his thoughts, glanced at him angrily, and turned around and walked to his office with his high heels.
Rosie, the old guy, was really tricking him before, no wonder he asked how long he wanted to stay in New York, he always vaguely refused to say it, he didn't expect the pit to be dug here.
——
Jack was busy for the next few weeks, not for the case, but for both business and private matters.
He first went to Washington, D.C., and under the watchful eyes of a group of high-ranking officials, he received a round medal with glittering gold from the gray-haired director.
Then I went back to Los Angeles, where I spent a weekend, and in addition to accompanying the three long-lost celebrities, it was a bunch of paperwork that Chris officially bought a small publishing house and signed a contract with an anonymous writer.
The writer pioneered the genre of American hegemony and is now featured at the end of the bestseller lists of several newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times.
In particular, this debut novel "The President's Contract Wife" is quite a dark horse, and it has almost squeezed into the top 20 of the season's best-selling list.
I wish you a happy New Year's Day and good health!
