Chapter 664: This Is Just the Beginning
After some searching, combined with the confessions of the four Tiger Kane comrades who are still alive, and confirming that nothing has slipped through the net, Jack escorted one of them out of the building with a black face, until he saw Hannah holding a little girl, and only barely showed a smile on his face.
Outside, it was already a brightly lit scene, and the local county police had already led people to restore the power supply to the amusement park.
Fortunately, this place has not been abandoned for a long time, and many lighting equipment can still be used, and I don't know which little genius has easily activated the Ferris wheel and merry-go-round with colorful lights.
Accompanied by the melodious "Blue Danube", the merry-go-round slowly turned, and the children who were still a little frightened just now couldn't take their eyes off at this time.
"The next time I am reminded of this kind of rescue mission, remember to bring lollipops in addition to guns." Jack pushed the kidnapper in front of him hard, handing him over to the officer who was answering.
There are all kinds of 911 emergency vehicles parked around and police cars from various families, including the Sabo class they drove in, and the police lights are also turned on.
"Luckily the kids are fine, these bastards didn't even have any water, so they locked them in the dodgeball room." Hannah handed the girl in her arms to a first responder and stepped aside with Jack.
"But this matter can finally be over, and I hope that the children will not be afraid to take the school bus in the future." She stretched and looked relaxed, only to find that Jack still had a serious expression.
"Tiger Kane's words before he died, as well as the fact that his wife, Emma Kane, and another accomplice were missing, gave me a bad feeling."
Hannah smiled and bumped him on the shoulder, "The villains will never be caught, at least we can get a good night's sleep tonight, I heard you just shot?" ”
Seeing the inexplicable look in the girl's shining eyes, Jack couldn't help but move in his heart, and was about to hug her to say two earthy love words, when a police officer and a first responder stepped forward quickly and blocked the two of them.
"Sir, we've found a problem, and there's a kid we haven't found, Owen Jermoson."
"What do you mean? What does it mean that there is still a child who has not been found? I just damn it, I forgot to count the number of people. Hannah's originally good mood seemed to have been poured with a basin of ice water on her head and froze in place.
The first responder quickly continued, "I just asked one of the children, and she said that a woman named Emma and another person took Owen an hour ago. ”
"What happened?" Dana Moge and Lacroix, who had just arrived, approached with a smile on their faces, and when they heard that another child was missing, the smile on their faces disappeared instantly.
"Jack, are we thinking about the same thing?" Lacroix looked thoughtfully at Jack.
"I guess so, Hannah, you have Owen Jemerson's home address in your notebook, right?" Jack put his arm around Hannah's shoulder, and the latter came to his senses, nodded quickly, and pulled out his small notebook.
"Yes, I wrote it down then."
"Let's go, let's visit the family." Jack turned and walked towards a Sabo class.
——
Thirty minutes later, Jack's Saabban stopped at the door of a two-story villa that was not very inconspicuous on the outside, and as a family with tens of millions of assets, the Jamerson family seemed to be quite low-key.
Only by passing through the neat lawn in front of the door, and seeing the low-key and luxurious British decoration style of the house through the window, can you feel a little different from ordinary families.
Hannah knocked on the door, and Jack and Lacroix took two steps and stood behind her.
Soon, a white man in his 40s opened the door and didn't seem surprised to see the three FBIs standing in the doorway.
In the living room behind him, a middle-aged white woman about his age peered out toward the door with a slightly nervous expression.
"We just rescued 25 of the 26 kids, and Owen Jermosen wasn't among them." On the way here, Hannah also guessed the truth under Jack's explanation, and said directly to the white man with a rather unkind face at this time, without even bringing any title.
Owen Jemerson's father nodded indifferently, with no panic on his face, indirectly verifying their guess.
"Owen is already home, isn't he?" Although it has been confirmed that the last child is also safe and sound, Jack's mood at this time is not good, and even a little angry.
"Yes, safe and sound." Owen's father, even with a bit of smugness on his face, turned to look into the living room, where a little boy cowered and walked out and hid in his mother's arms.
"If you're all right," he said, he was about to close the door, but Jack reached for it.
"Owen is such a brave and intelligent child, and even dares to secretly use sign language in front of the kidnappers to convey key information, I thought it might be inherited from his wealthy father, but now it seems that his talent should all come from his mother, maybe someone dragged him down."
Owen's father was stunned for a long time, and then he understood that Jack was scolding himself around the corner, and he was still a little weak-hearted, so he suddenly took two steps forward, closed the door behind him, and raised his voice, intending to have a good reason with these vexatious FBIs.
"Hey, I don't know how the kidnappers knew we had money, but they secretly contacted me through my brother, I didn't break any laws, I can only do it, and in this kind of thing, even if I change to any parent, I will not hesitate in the slightest."
"No, you should have contacted us, because in addition to Owen, there are 25 children who are also in danger, and you could have helped us get rid of them faster."
Hannah pushed back-for-tat, she was almost by this guy, the 25 children were useless after the kidnappers got the money, if they hadn't found the amusement park in time, God knows what kind of tragedy would have happened later.
Those white supremacists hadn't even offered saliva to those kids, even though most of them were white kids!
Lacroix didn't bother to talk to him, everyone had different positions, and there was no right or wrong to argue about this kind of thing, so he asked bluntly, "How much did you give?" ”
"A million dollars, we're just ordinary people, we were scared and very frightened when we got the news, so I made what I thought was the best option for my son, and again, I'll still do it."
Owen's father also tried to justify his actions, but when he saw the three FBIs in front of him, he turned around and prepared to leave.
"No matter what, I'm glad that your child is safe and sound, and our detectives will come to your door early tomorrow morning to make a record for you and your child, please try to cooperate."
Jack walked at the end, quite a little excited, originally thought that it was all over, but it turned out that it was probably just the beginning, and Tiger Kane's wife ran away with the money.
If she takes this money and lives incognito and comfortably from now on, she is afraid that this woman will continue to carry out the attack plan they planned before, and judging from Tiger Kane's words before he died, this possibility is very likely.
"I have a bad feeling that a woman with a dead husband can be crazy and unimaginable, especially when she still has a million dollars in her hands."
Lacroix sighed and pulled the vibrating phone out of his pocket, "Hey, dear, what's wrong?" ”
A small, palm-sized face appeared on his phone screen, a typical mixed-race girl who looked to be in her early teens.
"Daddy, Daddy, can you hear me?" The camera of the mobile phone in the little girl's hand shook violently, and there were faint screams and crying around her.
Lacroix was slightly stunned, "Okay, Tully, what's wrong?" ”
The little girl seemed to be hiding from something, and subconsciously looked back, her tone a little nervous, "I don't know, I was in the relief station where we volunteered, and this place was suddenly raided."
"Raids? Who is it? Lacroix stopped, and Jack and Hannah stopped beside him, subconsciously looking at the phone in his hand.
"I don't know, hey! Give me back your phone! The little girl named Tully let out a scream, and the image shook until a man's face appeared and the logo on his chest uniform with the letters ICE on it, which was the abbreviation for Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
"Tully! Tully! Lacroix called repeatedly, but the other party just glanced at the phone with an indifferent expression and turned off the video call.
