In the middle of the night, the two elders went out on a date, and the soldiers below naturally dispersed, although Hodchner still had some questions.

For example, why did Jack decisively kill the first responder, when Hodgner was still in a state of concussion and slight blood loss, and he didn't really recover much at this time, and he didn't know what happened at the scene.

However, Jack has always given him the impression that he is a more delicate person, not to mention that he has killed far more than ordinary agents, and he is quite decisive when shooting, but every time he shoots, it is procedural, or there is a reason why he must kill the criminal.

Of course, Hodgner didn't know that Jack had deliberately broken the body camera to enforce the "just verdict" when he was a patrol officer in the LAPD, but someone was really cautious and overly cautious, and occasionally tried to use the rules when he was deliberately uneasy.

Anyway, there was no hurry, so Hodchner, accompanied by Emily and Red, went back to the hospital first, and while Joyna finished the operation, he also needed to get some rest.

In fact, if you have to be strict about the procedure, it was really a bit illegal to shoot Jack this time, because the first responder didn't show much of his feet at the time, let alone show any threats in his behavior.

But Jack had to shoot again, because Joyna was in the hands of the other party at the time, and he had already guessed that there was something wrong with the ambulance, and the slightest hesitation could cause irreparable tragedy.

Things are usually judged by the results, and this time the credit is too great, even if he makes some mistakes in the report later, there will be no uninteresting guys to run to find fault.

And this is just a slight flaw in the procedure, from the appearance of the guy who stayed at the scene of the explosion disguised as a civilian to approach Hodchner and Joyna, to the appearance of a certain "volunteer" first responder, everything is a planned conspiracy.

When Jack learns from Joey Reicher that the Secret Service is protecting the current president of Bolivia, the final piece of the puzzle is put together.

At the same time, this person is also a backup, if Hodgner and Joyner are all seriously injured or even killed and injured, then he can be transformed into a first responder in charge of driving with just a uniform.

Maybe the ambulance will still be stopped by the Secret Service agents when it arrives at the hospital, but there are dying FBI agents in the car, plus a shot of nitroglycerin, creating a sense of tension that will be seriously injured and die in the next second, and the chance of entering the hospital through the blockade is very high.

They all had to make sure that their ambulance, stuffed with explosives, was the first to show up and that an FBI-identified wounded person was with them.

However, all of this is mixed up by the timely appearance of Jack, even though Joey Reicher is not the current head of the Secret Service's protection mission today, so he does not receive information that the Secret Service is protected by the current president of Bolivia.

The reason why the terrorists disguised as civilians detonated the bomb and still pretended to be enthusiastic citizens gathered around Hodchner was to confirm the injuries of the two men, and to allow the accomplice disguised as a first responder to appear in front of the two injured FBIs in an ambulance equipped with explosives.

It was a form of insurance, regardless of whether the police linked previous random shootings to terrorist attacks, guessing that the attack could have targeted emergency personnel at the scene, leading to a cordondown of the explosion site.

But then when Garcia tells him that the number he was tracking has been near the ambulance, Jack will not hesitate to subdue the first responder and check the vehicle.

Now it's nothing more than writing a report in the spring and autumn penmanship, such as writing a sentence that he noticed that there was something wrong with the first responder's expression, and there was a threatening behavior and behavior to Joyna, etc.

In fact, Jack is quite confident in his plug-in, how can Joyna's life be in danger when the treatment is shot, and the other party's rescue gesture when he pulls the car door is the biggest flaw.

When Jack appeared at the center of operations the next day refreshed, he was met with the plaintive little look of Jim Aubrey, who had been sent by Jubal to the NYPD headquarters to act as a temporary liaison last night before the first explosion.

If he could have been by Jack's side at that time, he wouldn't have dared to say anything else, and it would definitely not be a problem to be promoted to senior agent this year.

Nearly half a morning after writing his report, Rossi, holding his old waist, appeared at the door of Jack's office and informed him that the NSA and DHS had done a rare job to arrest the last member of the "Dark Jihad" involved in the terrorist attack early this morning.

A total of 13 people were involved in the terrorist attack, and the mastermind was none other than the bald man who was killed by Jack disguised as a first responder, the only member of the Duranger drug cartel to appear in New York, and a demolition expert.

The explosives in the ambulance and the collar bomb that was originally attached to Alice's neck were the work of this man, and the N.S.A. is investigating his true identity, which is believed to be from Venezuela's special forces and an instructor in the mythical "hunter school".

Jack had seen a certain military-themed action movie called "Out of the Amazon" in his previous life, although he didn't know if the "hunter school" in Venezuela in this world was as awesome as in that movie, but judging from the performance of the bald man, this guy should have something.

These messages are just incidental, and what Rossi came to tell Jack on point was, "Early this morning, the ADX Florence Prison in Colorado reported that Anthony Vargas died in his solitary cell, and the cause of death was a heart attack. ”

"It was so funny, a guy who watched the bomb explode in front of his eyes through a layer of glass and was not scared to death died of a heart attack in a solitary cell." There was sarcasm in Jack's tone.

"Maybe it's just a delayed seizure?" Rossi's smile was equally sarcastic.

"It has nothing to do with us, maybe it's really just a coincidence, or maybe some people don't want to associate themselves with terrorism because of what happened last night."

Jack shrugged, "I hope this is the end of it, at least in the short term I don't want to run into any more bomb or terrorist attacks." ”

"Then you should be careful when you pick and hunt for the wanted criminals in the future, and then have good news." Rosie was smiling happily this time, the kind from the heart.

"You'll receive an FBI Medal of Valor, and the BAU Task Force will receive the FBI Shield of Bravery."

There was a sudden feeling that it was not a formal decision, and that the decision to award such a medal would take at least a month to be officially announced due to the FBI's bureaucratic process.

The FBI's Medal for Bravery is second only to the FBI Star Medal, which is usually awarded only to agents who have been wounded bravely in important missions, and beyond that, there is only the Memorial Star Medal, which can only be received by family members, because it is only awarded to the sacrificial agent.
