Chapter 1094 Rabbit Hole (asking for monthly votes at the beginning of the month)

Just when everyone was at a loss, Clay and Hannah brought Luke Dolan's wife Jenna and daughter Ally to NCIS.

Luke's wife Jenna looks to be almost 40 years old, with obvious fine lines at the corners of her eyes, but their daughter is not very old and looks to be just over ten years old.

It was already past 1 a.m. and the little girl had fallen into a deep sleep. She was carried into the office by Hannah.

"Thank you for your hard work. Is there anything unusual along the way?" Although he saw people, Jubal still asked Clay with some concern.

"Make sure no one is following us." Clay glanced at Hannah who was holding a pillow and helping the little girl to settle down next door.

"Hannah talked to them on the way and felt that Luke was a good father who was conscientious and responsible. The reason for the separation was due to his wife Jenna's problem and a crisis of trust."

"What crisis of trust?" Alice was puzzled.

"You know we SEALs all have a 'rabbit hole' right?" Clay's expression was hard to describe as he spoke.

"What hole?" Alice didn't hear clearly.

"'Rabbit Hole' is a SEAL tradition that has been continued to DEVGRU. Team members will set up one or more secret bases at home and abroad, and prepare some cash and documents inside."

Jack explained that this was similar to how he had Anna travel around the world to help set up safe houses.

"Luke's wife thinks this means her husband may leave the family at any time, and she can't accept this." Clay poured himself a cup of coffee with a depressed look on his face.

"Didn't Luke explain to his wife that this was a 'reserve plan'? Whether it's the SEALs or the Rangers, 'DEVGRU' or 'Delta', they always have to make a retreat plan before carrying out a special operations mission."

Jack didn't understand why Luke's wife was bothered by this.

Clay took a bite of the cake without any appetite, his tone full of helplessness, "She thinks that this 'contingency plan' does not include herself and her daughter. Since Luke has made such preparations, he might suddenly disappear from her life one day."

"Uh" Jack was speechless.

This is a conflict of three views, and it cannot be said that Luke's wife's idea is wrong. In fact, there are many such things in the United States.

Due to the relative independence of the states within the federation, it is not uncommon for a husband or wife to suddenly disappear from home and start a new life in another state.

Many times, one can simply change his driver's license in the next state and hide his identity from then on, making it completely impossible to find him. That's why the business of private detectives who are good at finding people is so prosperous.

It is unrealistic to expect ordinary people to fully understand this kind of behavior. Just like Jack's safe houses, the girls around him only roughly knew that he had made relevant arrangements, but they were not clear about the specific circumstances and would not inquire about them in detail.

Because if the situation gets bad enough that Jack needs to activate these safe houses, it will probably mean that most of the people around him cannot be trusted or are under surveillance and control.

Jack needs to retreat and regroup, then find a way to fight back. At this time, friends and relatives are unnecessary burdens.

"So how do you and Stella explain your 'rabbit holes'?" Alice asked Clay with interest.

Clay's eyes flashed fiercely, "I told her that when I went down the rabbit hole, either she was already dead and I was trying to avenge her, or I could just assume she was dead."

"Okay, let's think about how to dig Luke out of his 'rabbit hole'." Jack felt that it was a bit unlucky to continue the topic, so he forcibly changed the subject.

At this time, Gibbs walked over quickly with the car keys in his hand. "No need to dig any holes. Luke showed up. He kidnapped Vice Admiral Boyd Milgram two hours ago."

-

In a villa in the suburbs of Washington. "He took my husband away. Boyd's head was still bleeding. That cold-blooded soldier dragged him out like that! Didn't the Navy send anyone to help? Oh my God! This is terrible!"

Mrs. Milgram, who was in her sixties, had red and swollen eyes and spoke incoherently as she cried out to the two bewildered police officers.

"Mrs. Milgram, I'm NCIS Special Agent Jethro Gibbs. What you need to do now is calm down."

Gibbs obviously had no way to deal with this hysterical old woman, and his repeated attempts to comfort her failed to calm her down.

Jack poured a glass of water and handed it to Jiejie, then winked at her. At this time, it was naturally necessary for the most friendly beauty Jiejie to appear.

"Ma'am, ma'am, please sit down and listen to me." Jiejie helped Mrs. Milgram sit down on the sofa.

"The FBI and NCIS will fully cooperate to find your husband, but we need you to provide clues now. We need to know what he did and what he said at the time. These are all very important."

"I can't do it. It's all nonsense. That guy beat Boyd. Oh, God, he's a lunatic!" Mrs. Milgram was still shaking her head desperately.

"No, you can do it. Drink some water first and steady your breathing." Jiejie slowed down her speech. "Yes, close your eyes."

"I can't do it!" Mrs. Milgram screamed.

"No! You can." Jiejie's voice was gentle and firm. "Trust me, close your eyes, we will know if we give it a try. Listen to the guidance of my voice, relax, relax, breathe, very good, that's it."

Mrs. Milgram took a few deep breaths in rhythm with the rhythm, and her face visibly calmed down.

Gibbs on the side widened his eyes and silently mouthed "Wow" to Jack.

Jiejie continued slowly, "So, let me go back to before everything happened. What were you doing at that time?"

"I was in the kitchen, pouring soda for my husband. It's movie night." Mrs. Milgram's speaking speed became almost the same as Jiejie's.

"Then he came in, put a gun to my head, tied me up, and pushed me into the living room."

"Then what? What happened? What did he say?" asked Jiejie.

"Where are my real parents?" Mrs. Milgram suddenly opened her eyes. "He asked where his real parents are."

Jiejie gave her an encouraging smile, "You're doing great, keep talking."

"Boyd said he didn't know this guy at all." Encouraged, Mrs. Milgram seemed to have found confidence and began to repeat the conversation between the two word for word.

"Stop your tricks. You replaced them with people and now those substitutes are dead. Is this all because of Operation Drado Falls?"

Hearing this, not only did Gibbs' eyelids twitch, but even the FBI members exchanged glances with each other.
