Chapter 1008: Jack is not an outsider

The house that Jack rebuilt was still a two-story building, but it was changed to a brick-concrete structure, and it had the foundation to become a century-old house. Even if someone used rockets to attack here again, there was no need to worry about it collapsing as long as it was not a rocket with a large yield like 107.

Although the house was renovated after it was built and Jack also purchased a lot of furniture, every time he came back before was either for the weekend or for a short vacation. He either stayed at the Wolfe brothers' farm or sneaked into Zoe's house in the middle of the night.

So this was the first time he really spent the night in his new home. Fortunately, he had the help of John, a warm-hearted uncle. Not only did he contact a cleaning company to clean the house inside and out before the evening, he and his wife Grace also helped buy some bedding.

Even the refrigerator is filled with fresh vegetables, meat, eggs and milk, some of which come from the Wolfe brothers' farm.

Nowadays, Chris is busy running the company and is about to get married to his girlfriend Dana. He is not in Los Angeles almost half of the year. The farm is entirely managed by Braxton and Justin's father, Professor Harber.

"It will be a perfect home if it only has a mistress." Danny's simple compliment after he entered the house shocked Jack.

"Go to bed early. It's only a few hours until dawn. Karen and Hannah will come to pick us up tomorrow morning." Fearing that someone might have a seniority complex, Jack interrupted.

Fortunately, Danny is still a single man. He just said it casually, expressed his feelings for a while, and then went to wash up and rest.

Jack took out his laptop and replied to a few work emails. After returning to New York, the Most Wanted team took on a new mission and was now hunting down an arsonist and two amateur killers in Allentown, Pennsylvania.

A father and son were shot to death in an amusement park. The manager of the amusement center was seriously injured and the scene was set on fire. A suspect left his name, "Sicarius", on an 80s game console.

This is the name of a poisonous spider, which can also be translated as "assassin", but the murderer does not seem to be this "assassin" but two amateur hired killers, a man and a woman.

The exact circumstances are still unclear, but Jubal and his friends have already found out the identities of the two hired killers and are currently tracking their whereabouts.

After reminding everyone to be careful, Jack closed his computer and went back to his bedroom upstairs to have a comfortable sleep.

The next morning, two NCIS agents drove to Jack's house early. Hannah's car was a 1970 black Dodge Challenger, which was also quite eye-catching.

After Jack reluctantly accepted the guy's suggestion to change cars, they arrived at an old monastery with a sense of age.

"Superintendent Danny Williams of 'Five-O', Detective Sung-Hao Kelly, and Supervisory Agent Jake Tawler of the FBI."

Seeing the two colleagues waiting at the door, Karen introduced them enthusiastically, "This is Agent Kensi Bly and LAPD's liaison officer, Detective Maddy Dix."

"Nice to meet you." The two sides exchanged friendly greetings, and the "fluffy"-looking Maddy Dix even shook hands with Jack.

"Agent Tawalla, I heard you were also a LAPD."

"Yes, that's right, just call me Jack." Jack was very happy to see two "familiar faces" again. He had the impression that these two seemed to be a couple.

As a spin-off series, "NICS Los Angeles" is a little less popular, but it is also a long series that has been filmed for more than ten years. Moreover, unlike the main series, the main actors of this series are quite stable, and the screenwriter does not bother with the emotional line much.

"This place is great, I think I should have a margarita and some nachos."

After getting off the car, Danny looked around curiously all the way, sizing up this secret base hidden in a stone church.

The huge floor-to-ceiling windows, copper screens, slightly rusty railings and vines climbing along the railings inside the building seem to be somewhat out of place with the electronic screens and other equipment inside, yet they have their own unique style.

“The office is a prime example of the California Spanish Mission style, and we have preserved as much of its original appearance as possible.”

Accompanied by a slightly old voice, an old lady, who was only about 1.4 meters tall, wearing an exquisite handmade suit, black tortoise-shell glasses with a thin chain hanging on the glasses, appeared in front of everyone with her hands behind her back.

The old lady was probably in her seventies or eighties, with wrinkled skin and a slightly hunched back. She looked inconspicuous, but once you met her sharp eyes behind the thick lenses, you would inevitably have the illusion that you were being seen naked.

"This is our operations director Heidi Lange, and these three are..." Hannah was about to introduce them again when the old lady interrupted her.

"Detective Danny Williams and Detective Sung-Hao Kelly, thank you very much for coming out to help, gentlemen."

"This is a must. There is no reason for us to stand idly by and watch such a dangerous case." Unlike Danny who was a little scared by the old lady, Cheng Hao maintained the unique Oriental attitude of respecting the elderly and loving the young.

Jack on the side rolled his eyes, feeling a little uneasy that Grandma Heidi didn't specifically mention his name.

"I agree, so you are the first outsiders to step into this operation center, which shows the seriousness of the situation." Grandma Heidi had a serious expression and unconsciously put on the airs of an elder.

Okay, Jack understood Heidi's subtext. It seems that as an FBI agent, he is not considered an outsider here.

Then the slightly solemn atmosphere was broken by Danny's inappropriate joke, "I am also very grateful that you didn't blindfold us when we came in."

Grandma Heidi laughed dryly and gestured to Kensi Bly, "Why don't you and Mr. Dix give the guests a briefing? I need to talk to you and the two of you."

As she spoke, she pointed at Jack first, then stretched out her hands at Karen and Hannah at the same time.

"Me?" Jack pointed at himself in surprise. This was definitely the first time he met this old lady, so why did she act like she knew him so well right from the start?

"Jack, Jack, Jack." Grandma Heidi kept repeating Jack's name as she walked back to her desk.

By the way, the operations director set up his office in a corner of the monastery church, facing the stairs leading to the second floor. That position provides a good observation of the entire first floor and part of the second floor corridor.

Her walnut desk was obviously worth a lot of money, with extremely exquisite and intricate patterns carved on it. Behind the desk was a European screen of the same style, with a family crest on it.

Grandma Heidi paced back and forth behind her desk for a few steps before looking up at Jack. "At least three old friends have mentioned your name to me before. Jack, you have to know that at my age, there are not many old friends still alive."

Jack smiled back awkwardly. Without turning around, he could feel the interested glances from Karen and Hannah behind him.

Apart from old CIA Joe Mason, he really couldn't think of any other people he knew who might be old friends of the person in front of him. Maybe the bald Frank was one, but he couldn't think of any more.

In the original drama, Heidi Lange is set up as a serious Cold War veteran. You have to know that this is a world of film and television fusion. Just thinking about those film and television works depicting the Cold War period makes one's scalp tingle.
