Chapter 1096: Overly Worried Clay (asking for monthly ticket)

Jiejie sighed, "Every SEAL is extremely confident and has complete faith in his own judgment. Maybe he went home just to look for documents and diaries in the garage, but after seeing his parents, he also treated them as stand-ins.

Fortunately, we were able to protect his wife and daughter in time, otherwise the consequences would have been fatal."

"So he kept asking the general where his real relatives were. His purpose in taking the general away was very clear. He wanted to exchange hostages."

Aubrey scratched his head, looking somewhat frustrated. "We do have 'hostages' in our hands, but once he sees his wife and daughter, he will use them as substitutes. The consequences will only be worse."

"Then don't let him see it." Jack looked at Clay, "Maybe we should make a plan to lure him to a place where we can be sure to subdue him."

Clay gave him a wry smile in response, "Luke is the same person as you and me. Let alone subduing him, would you rashly put yourself in danger in this situation?"

Jack thought about it, and couldn't help but put on a mask of pain on his face. "No, I will use killing one to warn the rest to tell you that you must follow my rules. Don't try to play any tricks."

At this time, his phone was still on hold. Red, who was still listening to the discussion on the other side, interrupted and said, "Perhaps you can try to find Luke's closest people and let them communicate only through voice. In theory, he should still be partially rational."

-

"The person closest to Luke is his father." Luke's wife's answer silenced everyone.

"AI synthesized speech?" Aubrey, who was quick-witted, had a sudden inspiration, but then he slapped his forehead and sat back in his seat, rejecting this bad idea.

This is not an internet scam, and they are not familiar with the daily speaking patterns of the father and son, so they could be exposed in just a few words.

The hostage in Luke's hand is a vice admiral of the navy. If he were to notice anything unusual, it would confirm his imaginary conspiracy theory, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

At this time, they had returned to the NCIS office building located in the Naval Compound. Jubal and his team members were flipping through the thick files with sad faces.

Gibbs not only brought the files on Operation Drado Falls, but also all the files on secret missions that Luke had performed as a Navy SEAL.

There are 19 copies in total, and the red words "Top Secret" on the kraft paper covers are shocking.

"Did you find anything?" Gibbs, who had been up all night with everyone, got up and poured himself a cup of coffee.

“Operation Drado Falls was a covert assassination attempt on a South African diplomat suspected of selling sensitive nuclear information to a Middle Eastern country.

The operation was successful, and the diplomat, along with his..." Jubal paused here, ". and his two children"

Jack raised an eyebrow, "Luke did it?"

Jubal sighed, "Yes, the records show that he applied to suspend the operation at that time, but the people above ordered the operation to continue."

"Collateral damage. The two children witnessed everything. They are witnesses who must be eliminated." Clay showed a look of no surprise.

There was no saint present, and although everyone looked distressed, no one would jump out and stand on the moral high ground to accuse.

But Hannah still muttered, "Just like those employees of 'Senna Locke'."

"No, that's different." Jack shook his head, "From the records, Luke often visited Adam Weiner's company, he should know all the employees of 'Senalock'.

In his mind at the time, he had stepped into a pre-set trap, and those people were agents who came to kill him and silence him."

"So, we know that Luke has been haunted by the fact that he had to kill two innocent children during Operation Drado Falls.

So after he developed that hallucination, he had come up with a conspiracy in his mind through this secret operation. "Gibbs put the empty coffee cup on the table, "So what should we do next? According to Dr. Reid, unless we blindfold Luke, we can't even exchange hostages. He will go crazy when he sees his wife and daughter."

"So we can't wait for him to call." Jack looked at Alice who had been busy in front of the computer, "How is the location of the general's phone going?"

Alice poked her head out from behind the screen with a sad face, "It's terrible. Although General Milgram's phone is a government phone with built-in positioning, the GPS signal is very weak. The range that can be determined now includes half of Washington, D.C.

I can try to triangulate the location using cell towers, but that requires the phone to be on a call.”

Jack stood up and took his coat. "Then get ready to call him. I think this is also the reason why Luke brought the general's phone. He wants to negotiate with us. Clay, take your equipment and we will set off first."

Unexpectedly, Clay objected this time, "No, I'll go and you stay."

"Why?" Jack looked at the soldier in confusion. He didn't understand why there was any bargaining over such a thing. Was Clay worried that he would be in danger?

"Luke was a war hero. He just got sick and didn't deserve that ending." Clay's words were a little vague, but everyone present roughly understood what he meant.

Although Luke is a former Navy SEAL, except for Gibbs who is a little confused, no one in the wanted criminal team thinks that Jack can't deal with him.

Clay knew this even more clearly. If Jack made a move, Luke Dolan would definitely be dead, but this was not what he wanted to see.

"I know what you mean, but the more this is the case, the more I should go. Stop talking nonsense, go get the equipment, bring the explosive detector, and get a few more stun grenades." Jack patted his shoulder to show that he understood his thoughts.

-

"Are you sure I should make the call? The case hasn't been officially handed over to NCIS yet." Gibbs looked at the people in the wanted criminal team with a smile.

"You are the only former soldier here. I think it would be smoother for you to communicate with him." Jubal pushed the phone on the table in front of him.

"The most suitable candidate is actually Clay, but he is worried that Jack will shoot the other person, so he has to go with him." Aubrey told the truth.

Gibbs was very confused about this. "I don't understand. Shouldn't you be more concerned about the safety of your own people?"

"This is hard to explain." Jubal had an indescribable expression on his face. He picked up the phone and handed it to him. "They are already in place. Let's call first."

"Who is this?" The call was quickly connected, and a man's calm voice came from the other end, as if there was someone waiting on the other end.

"Is that Lieutenant Luke Dolan?" Gibbs' voice sounded very relaxed.

"State your identity."

"I'm Sergeant Jethro Gibbs, former Marine gunnery sergeant and current NCIS agent."

The voice on the other end of the phone paused for a moment, as if a little surprised by Gibbs's identity, "Who asked you to call me?"

"No one asked me to make this call. I am calling you. Let's talk. First I need to confirm that General Milgram is safe."

Gibbs pressed the switch button and turned off the radio function. Then he asked Alice, "How long will it take?"

"The longer the better. Try to delay him as much as possible." Alice answered without looking up.
