The World of American Drama: From the Los Angeles Patrol

Chapter 278 The Headshot Warden

"Hello, I'm Jessica Cortez." On the seat next to her, a Latina woman in her 40s was taken aback when she saw the fully armed Jack, and then introduced herself.

"Jessie, this is Jack Tavoler, we've known each other since he was an LAPD."

Hong Duo took the initiative to introduce Jack, and his rather intimate name made Jack look sideways slightly.

"Oh, it's you. Zoe once talked about you with me. It's a pity that both of you have left LAPD now." Jessica Cortez showed a regretful expression of LAPD's loss of talent.

Hannah curled her lips secretly.

Jack said a few words modestly, introduced Jiejie and Emily behind him, and explained the situation.

"Dr. Reid and Director Hotchner are still missing. I need to go in and bring them out, but don't worry, I won't hold back your team members."

"I'm Ash Jones, the contractor of this prison." A middle-aged man in a suit and tie beside Jessica Kertez also stood up and shook hands with everyone with a smile on his face.

"Let's talk about the situation you have, including the specific identities of the 18 hostages."

Obviously, Hong Duo didn't like this kind of guy, so he went straight to the point.

"Okay, okay." Ash Jones took out a handkerchief, wiped the dense sweat on her bald head, pressed a few times on the display screen, and enlarged the photos one by one.

"The hostages are the warden, six guards, eight construction workers doing maintenance work inside, two priests and a nun."

"Wait, is Sister Carmelita in there?" Hondo asked in surprise, pointing to the last woman in the photo, who looked about 50 or [-] years old.

"You know her?" Jessica Kertez turned her head and was also surprised.

"Yes, she often travels to and from various prisons, praying with the prisoners and helping them regain their faith. She is a really good person, and she does what she does. Sometimes she would ask me to communicate with those prisoners."

Hong Duo's face was a bit ugly, obviously he was worried about this nun. A woman fell into the hands of a group of rioting prisoners. Even if she was a nun, the risk of being abused was still much higher than other hostages.

"Negotiation experts are communicating with the prisoners. It is said that she may be injured, but they refuse to release her." Jessica Cortez looked sad.

"Negotiations with the prisoners are not going well, and I need you to come up with a plan of action."

As she spoke, she opened a 3D architectural structure drawing.

"This is the layout of the main building. The main riot area is currently limited to the top four floors. All the prisoners inside are serious criminals. There are more than 300 people in total, roughly divided into three main gangs."

"The southern part is Area B, which is controlled by the 'Baja Horn Gang'. The hostages in their hands are the eight construction workers who are doing maintenance work inside."

"The northern part is Area A, which fell into the hands of the '[-] Gang' together with six prison guards. Area C is controlled by the 'Spicy Crispy Eagles', a group of white supremacists. They captured the warden and three Clergy."

After Jessica Kertz finished her introduction, Hannah projected the contents of the tablet on the main screen.

"This is the profile of three prison gangs, from the FBI's database."

"'One Nine Gang', a gang dominated by blacks, including a small number of Latino prisoners. The leader is Keitel Porter. It is said that he is a very intelligent guy. Before he was imprisoned, he mixed with street gangs."

"This is the 'Baja Horn Gang' that controls Area B. The main members are mainly DU traffickers. They are a group of mental patients whose minds are full of murder. The boss is Moco Hernandez."

"The most troublesome one is 'Spicy Crispy Eagle'. Just by the name, you can tell what kind of group it is. The leader is Gunnar Card. He is vicious and has a very high IQ. He and his people are also the only ones who refuse to communicate with the negotiators. .”

"Gunnar Card, heard of this guy, the LAPD knows his 'big name'."

"So what are the demands of the other two gangs?" Jack asked.

A prison contractor who identified himself as Ash Jones took the initiative.

"It's nothing more than better food, more outdoor time and more time for spouse visits, nothing special."

"That's all? What about the casualties? How did it develop to such an extent?" Hong Duo felt something was wrong.

"Some of them killed each other. Except for the six prison guards who were taken hostage, all the wounded were rescued."

"The details I know are limited. In the beginning, the gang of white supremacists should have started the riot. When the warden dispatched people to control them, the 'Baja Horn Gang' and the '[-] Gang' took advantage of the chaos. .”

"Because of the presence of the hostages, my emergency response team was unable to deal with such a situation."

As she spoke, Ash Jones took out her handkerchief again and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"This is the main control room? What's next to it?" Jack clicked on the middle two rooms connecting the three districts of ABC.

"Armory, both rooms have fallen, which is why we lost all surveillance on this floor." Jessica Kertez glanced at the paper map in her hand, and marked it on the screen casually.

"So, now the prisoners have the keys to all the cells on this floor, as well as the weapons and armor that were originally issued to the guards?"

Jack rolled his eyes, turned to Hondo and said, "I need a gas mask, enough tear gas, stun grenades, and more 7.62X51mm ammunition"

"Armored vehicles have ammo boxes that you can fill your backpack with."

Hong Duo also seemed to have a headache, more than 300 prisoners, an armory that was opened, who knows how many traps these guys have set up inside, waiting for them.

"You said we lost the monitoring on that floor, what is that?" Deputy Captain Deacon asked, pointing to a monitor that suddenly had a signal.

"Someone turned on the surveillance in Area C?" Ash Jones asked in surprise.

Jessica Kertez tapped the shoulder of a technician in front of her, and the image on the monitor was zoomed in on the main screen.

"That's Gunnar Cade, leader of the Spicy Crispy Eagle, what does he want?"

I saw Gunnar Kade, who was wearing an orange prison uniform, with various eagle heads and swastikas tattooed on his neck and arms, beckoning out of the camera, and two of his men pushed an old man with gray hair to the camera forward.

"That's our warden, Phil Harvey." Ash Jones said, pointing at the screen.

In the video, the warden tremblingly raised a piece of cardboard in his hand, with only two words written on it, "Stay outside."

At the next moment, Gunnar Card pulled out a pistol from his waist and directly shot the warden in the head.
