Chapter 1094 Rabbit Hole (ask 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 Ellie to NCIS.

Luke's wife Jenna looked to be almost forty, with obvious fine lines at the corners of her eyes, but their daughter was not that old and looked like she might just be over ten years old.

It was already past 1 o'clock in the morning, and the little girl had fallen into a deep sleep and was carried into the office by Hannah.

"Thank you for your hard work. Is there anything unusual along the way?" Although he saw the person, Jubal still asked Clay a little uneasily.

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

"Hannah talked to them on the way and felt that Luke was a good father who fulfilled his responsibilities. The separation between the couple was a problem of his wife Jenna, a crisis of trust."

"What crisis of confidence?" Alice was puzzled.

"You know that all of us SEALs have a 'rabbit hole', right?" Clay's expression was quite difficult to explain when he spoke.

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

"'Rabbit Hole', the tradition of 'SEAL', continues to 'DEVGRU'. The team members will establish one or more secret bases at home and abroad, and prepare some cash and documents inside."

Jack explains that this is somewhat similar to how he lets Anna travel around the world to help build safe houses.

"Luke's wife thinks this means that her husband may leave the house at any time, and she cannot accept such a thing." Clay poured himself a cup of coffee with a gloomy look.

"Didn't Luke explain to his wife that this was a 'preparatory plan'? Whether it was SEALs or Rangers, 'DEVGRU' or 'Delta', every special operations mission had to have an evacuation plan in place first. ”

Jack didn't understand why Luke's wife was bothering with this.

Clay took a tasteless bite of the small cake, his tone full of helplessness, "She thinks that this 'preparatory plan' does not include herself and her daughter. Since Luke has made such preparations, maybe one day will suddenly disappear from your life.”

"Uh" Jack was speechless.

This can be regarded as a conflict of views, and it cannot be said that there is something wrong with Luke's wife's ideas. In fact, many such things do exist in the United States.

Due to the relative independence of each state in the federation, it often happens that a husband or wife suddenly leaves home and disappears, and then starts their life again in another state.

In many cases, just changing a driver's license in the next state can make the person anonymous, making it impossible to find the person. That's why the private detective business, which is 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 have a rough idea that he has made relevant arrangements, but they don't know the specific details, let alone inquire carefully.

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

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

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

A stern look flashed in Clay's eyes, "I told her that when I went down the rabbit hole, either she would be dead and I was trying to avenge her, or she would just treat me as dead."

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

At this time, Gibbs walked over quickly, holding 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 was still bleeding from his head, and the cold-blooded soldier just dragged him out! Didn't the Navy send someone to help? God! This is terrible!"

Mrs. Milgram, who was in her sixties, had red and swollen eyes and was crying incoherently to the two helpless police officers.

"Mrs. Milgram, I am NCIS Special Agent Jethro Gibbs. What you need right now is to calm down."

Gibbs obviously had nothing to do with the old woman in such a hysterical state, and repeated attempts to comfort her failed to calm her down.

Jack poured a glass of water and handed it to Jiejie and winked at her. At this time, it was natural that the most affable beauty among the crowd, Jiejie, should appear.

"Madam, madam, please sit down and listen to me." Jiejie helped Mrs. Milgram sit down on the sofa.

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

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

"No, you can. 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 after trying, listen to the guidance of my voice, relax, relax, breathe, very good, that's it."

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

Gibbs on the side widened his eyes and silently made a "wow" mouth shape to Jack.

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

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

"Then he broke 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?" Jiejie asked.

"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 did a good job, 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 by word.

"Don't play tricks anymore, you found someone to replace them, and now those substitutes are dead. All this is because of the "Drado Falls" operation, right?"

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