Chapter 662 Thanksgiving(1/2)
Inside the holiday home.
A black woman and a white man are sitting at a dining table drinking coffee.
These two people are also detectives from the Witness Protection Unit. The black woman is named Jerry and the white man is named Tom. It is obvious that these two people are operation code names.
The white detective Tom spread his hands and said with some dissatisfaction, "The witnesses have been moved, what are we still doing here?"
Jerry looked out the window, "The team leader's order is very clear. Let us assist Minister Li in arresting the killers."
Tom glanced at his watch and said, "How long do we have to wait, two hours, three hours, or one day...
I think it's a bit silly to wait for a killer to come to your door."
Jerry asked, "What good ideas do you have?"
Tom was dissatisfied, "Sabina Dodd and Sidney Byrne messed up the matter, and now they have moved with the witnesses and left us to deal with the aftermath.
Do you think this is reasonable?"
Jerry took a sip of coffee and pursed his thick lips, "Why didn't you say something while the team leader was here?"
"The team leader has always been partial to Sabina. You know this, and it's useless even if I say it." Tom was a little discouraged.
"Then don't complain..."
"Hey..." The intercom on the table rang, and Luke's voice came from inside, "I am No. 0, and I found a gray Buick business car driving towards the holiday house.
Each group immediately rushed to the designated ambush location and paid attention to safety."
Tom curled his lips and asked Jerry, "This is the first suspicious vehicle that has been discovered?"
"The fourth or fifth one."
"That's right, anything close to the vacation home is considered a suspicious vehicle."
Jerry opened the door to the vacation home and said, "Let's go."
"Go on your own." Tom pointed to the table, "This is my ambush location, I'm not going anywhere."
"It's up to you." Jerry was speechless. Tom's alertness was too low. Perhaps this was the reason why the team leader did not allow him to participate in the transfer of witnesses.
Jerry left the vacation house and hurriedly ran toward the woods on the right side of the vacation house.
She hid behind a bush with lush leaves and looked in the direction of the road.
The commercial vehicle did not keep driving along the road, but turned to the path of the holiday house. Jerry felt a little nervous and a little excited, but it actually came.
Nine agents were ambushed around the vacation home, and the killers had fallen into a trap themselves.
Jerry wanted to remind Tom, but it was already too late. Tom would probably be discovered by people in the commercial vehicle when he came out of the holiday home. Moreover, Tom would not be in danger for the time being while hiding in the holiday home.
Jerry guessed that Luke would take action before the killers entered the vacation home.
The commercial vehicle parked on the side of the road, the rear door opened, and people got out one after another. Everyone had weapons in their hands. It was almost certain that this group of people should be the killers who attacked the witnesses.
Jerry's eyes were fixed on the group, and he was also waiting for Luke's order.
Suddenly, Jerry's eyes widened with a look of shock.
The fifth suspect was seen getting out of the car, holding a rocket launcher on his shoulder, and fired a rocket directly in the direction of the holiday home.
There was an explosion of "Boom!"
A big hole was opened in the holiday home, the roof flew off, flames shot into the sky, smoke and dust flew everywhere, and there was a scream from inside the holiday home.
"Haha, I hit it! Did you see it?" The killer who fired the rocket waved his fist vigorously with a proud look on his face.
Jerry looked in the direction of the holiday house. She knew exactly who made the screams, but she couldn't save him now and could only wait for orders.
She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. She gripped the rifle tightly with both hands, her teeth gritted and there was a murderous look in her eyes.
"Leave no one alive!"
The leading killer shouted and rushed towards the holiday house with four of his men.
"boom!"
There was a gunshot.
Luke directly shot and killed the driver who stayed in the Buick commercial vehicle.
And this gunshot was also an order.
The agents lying in ambush all around opened fire, shooting wildly at the unknown killer.
"Da da..." The sound of gunshots resounded throughout the forest, causing birds to fly away and wild animals to flee.
"Ahhh..." The five killers let out bursts of screams and quickly lost their fighting power. Some were beaten into sieves, while others loudly begged for mercy.
"Stop shooting!
Stay alive!" Luke ordered again.
"lay down your weapon!"
"Hold your head with your hands!"
The agents approached the five killers with guns drawn.
Jerry quickly rushed to the vacation home.
The battle went smoothly and ended quickly.
The only regret is that Tom, a detective from the Witness Protection Unit of the Marshals Service, was injured by a rocket.
Luke was also speechless. This guy didn't rush to the ambush site as he ordered.
Luke did not expect that this group of killers would be so fierce that they would directly use rockets.
The good news is that the ambulance arrived at the scene in time and Tom saved his life.
The killer's boss was not seriously injured. After being briefly bandaged, Luke interrogated him.
He admitted that he came to Los Angeles this time under the instigation of others, with the purpose of intercepting Maggie's father and daughter and preventing Maggie's father from going to New York to testify in court.
The person who instigated him was the co-founder of the cryptocurrency trading platform company that was to be tried this time.
Luke successfully stopped this group of killers, and his mission was completed. The subsequent protection of Maggie and her daughter was handed over to the Marshals Service. After all, the industry has specializations in the art, and they have more experience in protecting witnesses.
…
November 28th.
Today is Thanksgiving, and it’s also a day for family reunions.
In the morning, Luke called his family in New York to say hello.
Tonight, he invited his family in Los Angeles to spend Thanksgiving together.
Thanksgiving is as important as Christmas in the United States. The most important food is turkey. I won’t say whether it tastes good or not, but it must be there.
Last night, Luke put the turkey in the refrigerator to marinate it.
The turkey starts roasting around 12 noon, and the roasting time lasts for four hours. It can be eaten around 4 pm.
In the afternoon, family members arrived one after another and brought some food.
Linda brought cornbread baked by herself, grandpa Robert brought an Iberian ham, uncle brought a box of homemade cranberry sauce, and the little fat man held two bottles of Coke in his arms.
These foods were obviously not enough. Later, Luke and his family prepared pan-fried tuna, beef stew with potatoes, apple pie, vegetable salad, and the last dish was the favorite of Little Fatty and Val, shredded sweet potatoes.
After the meal, the fruits are grapes and strawberries, and the dessert is chocolate cake.
At five o'clock in the evening, the family sat around the dining table, held hands and prayed, and then the dinner officially began.
Robert picked up a glass of red wine and said, "Thank God for bringing our family together, cheers!"
"cheers!"
The little fat man also filled up the Coke and took a big gulp.
"Is it ready to eat?" Val picked up a piece of shredded sweet potato, "Wow, did you see it? It's shredded." Val put the shredded sweet potato in his mouth with a look of enjoyment on his face, "Oh my God, I love this taste so much.
of."
Not only Val liked it, but everyone present took a piece. Americans like to eat sweets, and this dish suits their taste very well.
The little fat man ate two pieces in a row, then picked up the Coke cup and said, "Brother, thank you for saving Maggie."
Luke smiled and said, "Jack, thanks to your alertness and reminder. Thinking about it from another perspective, it was you who saved Maggie."
"Don't praise me, I know my weight." The little fat man added, "I mean my weight."
"Haha..." Everyone laughed.
The little fat man showed a serious expression, "Brother, why did Maggie break up with me? I'm asking about the real reason."
Luke thought for a while, "I think...it's mainly for your safety. The killer will not only kill witnesses, but also may hurt people close to them."
"In other words, Maggie doesn't really want to break up with me. As long as the matter is over, we can continue to be together."
"It's possible." Luke said ambiguously.
The little fat man immediately became excited and waved his fist, "I knew it, I knew it would be like this."
To be continued...
