The World of American Drama: From the Los Angeles Patrol

Chapter 89 Uphill Search

In fact, after Rosalind led the crowd along the forest path for 40 minutes, everyone's mood became less happy.

The mist in the mountains had already dissipated, the sunlight became extremely strong, and the mountain road was rough and difficult, only her face always had a relaxed smile on her face.

Lucy complained to Tim in a low voice: "I think she's playing with us, maybe she just wants us to go out for a picnic."

Tim agrees, "Yeah, playing around with the LAPD, playing it in the palm of your hand, that's her plan."

Sean Delmonte had a serious face: "As long as the remains of relatives can be retrieved for the three families, it doesn't matter if I let her enjoy it."

"And then the Honorable Assistant Attorney General can make a big appearance on your evening news?"

Jack, who was more than ten steps behind them, teased Taylor Kelly in a low voice.

Taylor Kelly was short of breath, there was a dense layer of sweat on her face, and a layer of blush on her cheeks, making her look extraordinarily beautiful, "Everyone gets what they want, doesn't they?"

"Take a rest, there is still a long way to go." Rosalind stopped in a small open space.

Superintendent Gray picked up the walkie-talkie: "Stay where you are, all personnel are temporarily suspended."

Jack took out two bottles of mineral water from his backpack, threw them to Taylor Kelly and the cameraman, and opened a bottle to take a sip himself.

John also took off his backpack and took out the mineral water. Rosalind lifted her hands, which were handcuffed behind the back of the long chain handcuffs, and motioned for John to feed her.

Just when John was at a loss, Nila at the side rolled her eyes and took the mineral water in his hand.

At this time, Jack's keen perception made him aware of abnormal movements around him, and he asked Superintendent Gray loudly: "Are there any other people besides SWAT?"

Superintendent Gray just finished drinking a whole bottle of water, and was a little puzzled when he heard the words: "No, what did you find?"

Jack's sharp eyes passed through the woods, and there was a faint figure 30 meters away: "There seems to be someone over there, but they look like they are wearing casual clothes."

Everyone looked in the direction of Jack's finger in doubt. Suddenly, a gunshot was fired, and the bullet flew past Rosalind's head.

John threw her down on the spot, and the others sought cover. Only Sean Delmont, who had never experienced a gunfight, stood there in a daze.

Almost as soon as the shot rang out, Jack grabbed Taylor Kelly by the arm, dragged her behind a thick tree stump, and beckoned her cameraman to get down.

"Stay here and don't move."

Before the words were finished, there was another gunshot, and the bullet hit a tree trunk next to Del Monte, and the flying debris made him cry out in pain and fall to the ground.

"Ah, I've been shot, save me!"

A group of police officers ignored him, sought cover one after another, and fired back.

"Hold on!"

Jack told Taylor Kelly again, raised his head to greet Tim, and made a gesture, indicating that he should pick up the two breads respectively.

Angela's pregnancy is still hidden from everyone, and now the one who has the most tacit understanding with him among the people is Tim who once fought side by side.

Tim nodded to show his understanding. He bent down and disappeared on the left side of the woods. Jack drilled into the woods on the right side, facing Angela, pointing two fingers to his eyes, and then pointed to the direction where Tim disappeared. Angela nodded knowingly .

Jack and Tim quickly outflanked the shooter. It was a middle-aged black man holding a carbine, who was nervously hiding behind a big tree to change the magazine, without noticing that someone was behind him.

"Put down the gun, put the gun on the ground, give up resistance!"

Jack and Tim yelled at the same time, and the police officers in front of the gunman stopped firing after hearing the sound to avoid accidental injury.

"Hold your head in your hands and cross your fingers, you're under arrest."

Tim held the gun and stayed still, Jack put away the Glock, took out the handcuffs and handcuffed the middle-aged black man kneeling on the ground.

"Is there anyone else besides you?"

On the contrary, the black man who was handcuffed calmed down, with despair in his tone.

"No, just me."

Lucy stepped forward to pull him up from the ground, and asked foolishly, "Are you here to save Rosalind?"

The middle-aged black man sneered: "Save her? I'm here to kill her, she murdered my wife!"

In the clearing, Zooey jumped out of the police car and walked towards the crowd quickly without waiting for the police car to stop.

"What happened?"

Hong Duo, the captain of the SWAT team, looked a bit unhappy: "There is a guy who built a camouflage net to hide from the sight of my team members."

Rossi pointed to the middle-aged black man who was escorted into the police car, "His name is Peter. The No.3 victim killed by Rosalind was his wife. The police have only found half of her body so far."

John on the side muttered to himself: "This family lost the mistress first, and now the mistress is going to be imprisoned again."

Taylor Kelly used the connection between the interview car and the camera to complete the live broadcast, and stood aside obediently without making a sound, looking at Zoe without blinking.

Jack glanced at her and asked Rosie in a low voice, "Do you think Rosalind arranged all this?"

Rossi looked up at the crazy old woman who was re-arrested into the armored vehicle, and snorted coldly: "Didn't you notice the look in her eyes just now? She was enjoying all of this. The place where you were attacked was definitely leaked by Rosalind's accomplices." For Peter."

"She's a lunatic. If that Peter had better marksmanship, she would be dead now." John was a little hard to understand.

Jack felt that he underestimated this woman before: "Maybe Peter was selected because someone investigated his lack of shooting experience."

Then Superintendent Gray and Del Monte, with his head bandaged, approached.

"Maybe we should stop here today." Superintendent Gray suggested to Zooey.

"Impossible!" Del Monte objected immediately.

"Listen to me, Superintendent Anderson, if it is stopped now, next week, maybe next month, this kind of operation will have to be repeated again. By then, the scene will be at least twice as big as it is now, and there will be countless media reporters Surround this place tightly."

Zooey rubbed her eyebrows with a headache, and had to admit that what this guy said made sense.

"Then go ahead, everyone be careful, I'll find a way to send some more police over here."

It was already noon at this time, everyone ate something casually, and prepared to continue to set off.

Seeing that Rossi followed up this time, Jack was a little surprised, and looked down at the pair of expensive leather shoes on his feet.

"Let's make a bet that Rosalind will lead us to the place where the body is buried in less than 15 minutes this time." Rossi shrugged.

Everyone continued to walk through the forest, and Rosalind tried to talk to John in a rambunctious manner.

"Well, I've been thinking, you saved my life just now, and I haven't thanked you yet. The face of that Peter's wife was almost peeled off by me. I am so vicious, and you are still willing to cover me. Why?"

This time even the good guy didn't hide his disgust anymore: "It's my duty, I'm just doing my job, not because this person is you or someone else."
