The World of American Drama: From the Los Angeles Patrol

Chapter 285 Simple Password
"What's going on?" Jack doubtfully took a small note from Hong Duo, with a string of difficult Greek letters written on it.

Just as the four of them conquered Area B, the three of Hong Duo also rushed into Area C with the cooperation of Team B who rushed over and rescued the two missionaries.

But Gunnar Card ran away with several henchmen, and forcibly dragged away Sister Carmelita, who was stabbed in the abdomen and was dying.

They gathered all the semi-automatic rifles they got from the gun room, and the firepower was so fierce that one member of Team B was unfortunately shot.

Fortunately, although the bullet penetrated the bulletproof plate on the chest, it also shattered a few pieces in the process, and the remaining kinetic energy was insufficient, causing only flesh wounds, and has been sent out of the building to the hospital for treatment.

"Gunna Kade led people to hide in Area D, and welded the iron door in the passage with the electric welding machine brought in by the construction workers."

"I knew he was stalling, but I didn't know what he was planning, so I searched his cell and found this note."

"It should be someone passed the message to him through an underground channel, but now there is no time to find someone to decipher this ghost thing."

"Eh? This one doesn't seem too difficult." Jack glanced at the note, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up. He was used to the pleasure of being crushed by force, but there were not many cases of crushing by IQ. The two seemed to be slightly different.

After staying with Reid for a long time, listening to him talk every day, he also learned some knowledge about cryptography.

"A simple letter substitution, replacing the English letters with the Greek letters, and writing it again in English, give me a pen."

Jack took a pencil from Deacon, the vice-captain, and wrote and talked on a piece of paper.

"Delta is δ, which is used to represent D, alpha is α, which is A, and delta is μ, which represents L"

He quickly scribbled two words on the paper, "Dale DeGroot? This should be it. Gunnar Card is looking for a certain prisoner."

However, the joy of successfully pretending did not last for more than a minute, and then the face was slapped.

"There is no such name in the prison database." Deacon pointed at him with the tactical tablet on his arm.

"It's impossible!" Jack pulled his arm unwillingly, and re-entered, but found nothing. This Dale DeGroot is neither a prisoner nor a prison guard.

"Calm down, the name should be right, otherwise it wouldn't be such a coincidence"

"Area D, what are they hiding in Area D?" Hong Duo seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and patted Jack on the shoulder, reminding him.

"You remember asking that contractor, Ash Jones, what he said when your two fellas were gone?"

Jack suddenly realized, "He said that there are several separate rooms in Block D, which are actually single cells for special prisoners."
-
"Dale DeGroot? I see, Mr. Jones, we need to talk."

Jessica Cortez, who had been guarding the command center outside the building, after receiving the name from Hondo, turned directly to the prison contractor Ash Jones. After some pressing, soon there was got the result.

Dale DeGroot, an inmate in protective custody, is a key tainted witness in a drug and arms smuggling operation.

He had made a deal with the D.A. and had been transferred to this prison a few weeks ago, and his testimony could send Gunnar Cade's entire group of business associates outside.

"The cells in Area D have separate security measures. It cost me a lot of money at the beginning. Those prisoners who received protective confinement will be very safe inside. I didn't expect that the riot would involve them."

Ash Jones was still trying to explain why she kept it a secret.

"When this is over, I will discuss it with you."

Jessica Cortez interrupted his nonsense angrily, and informed the above situation to everyone in the building.

"Let me guess, those construction workers who went to prison for construction happened to bring small generators, electric welding machines and acetylene cutters, and these things happened to be exchanged by the 'Baja Horn Gang' in Area B to Gong Na Kad, in exchange for weapons."

Jack immediately connected these clues together.

"Gunnar Kade instigated two other gangs to join him in rioting, and exchanged the uniforms and protective gear of prison guards from the '[-] Gang'."

Hong Duo continued his words.

"He was stalling for time to find Dale DeGroot in Area D, break open the cell door and kill him, then escaped disguised as a prison guard, and Sister Carmelita is his amulet, in case things are exposed Use it to bargain."

"This guy is smart."

"Yes, definitely not stupid."

"It is estimated that there are many insiders among the prison guards. Maybe the contractor Ash Jones has problems."

"This prison leaks like a sieve."

After listening to their analysis, the SWAT team members expressed their opinions word by word.

"Okay, let's talk about these things after we go out. The most important thing now is to stop Gunnar Card's plan and not let him kill people."

With a wave of his hand, Hong Duo led everyone to the passage between Area C and Area D.

"This is the updated map of Area D. There are 6 separate cells here. Dale DeGroot is in the third cell in the middle, and Jack's two colleagues are in one of the remaining rooms."

"Gunnar Kade has 5 other men, including him, 6 of them, all of whom are armed with rifles, and three of them are guarding the passageway of the welded iron gate, which is separated from the separate cell area by a corridor and two corners. "

Hong Duo's expression was ugly. Judging from the current layout, once the SWAT attack, there is a high possibility of a confrontation.

If a confrontation is formed, the last hostage, Sister Carmelita, must become a human shield.

The nun was Latina, and there was no guarantee of what Gunnar Cade, a white supremacist, would do when he was cornered.

The most troublesome thing is that now no one knows how long these guys will be able to cut through the heavy iron door of cell three, which means that SWAT does not have much time to formulate an attack plan.

For a while, everyone was a little numb. Is there really only one way left to attack?
It is not impossible to use tear gas or shock bombs to subdue Gunnar Card and his men again, but these non-lethal weapons under normal circumstances are likely to be fatal to Sister Carmelita who has been seriously injured .

"Uh, are Gunnar Kade's men wearing the uniforms and armor of those prison guards? Are they all wearing helmets?"

Jack suddenly asked such a question without thinking.

The full protective armor of the prison guards is used for hand-to-hand combat. Not only are the helmets not bulletproof, but the plastic armor that looks like a rugby player is also not bulletproof.

"You mean?" Hong Duo hesitated.

"Since they want to pretend to be prison guards and sneak out, then I can too."

　Uh, I oversleep every day on days off.
