[Comprehensive British and American Drama] Vibrant Soul

Lena, who drove to the destination by herself, did not expect that she would arrive at the scheduled location one step later than Reid, who needed a ride on the other side.

However, it was also because of the traffic control caused by the previous explosion at the subway station that Reina was able to quickly arrive at the homeless settlement in the central block without wasting much time in this early morning time in Washington. land.

Reina, who stopped the car, quickly entered the paradise of the homeless, but, as she expected, her documents and costumes made her eloquence and explanation completely useless: Ben The tramps who are very sensitive and repulsive to people in uniform don't want to hear even a single word from Reina.

Although Reid has found a suspicious route from the sewage pipe map of the old city, in this territory belonging to the homeless, Reina has been unable to find anyone who is willing to lead the way.

Lena wanted to exchange money with the homeless. Although the faces of the homeless were still full of guards, Leina could tell from the eyes of some homeless people that this condition had obviously aroused great concern from the homeless. interest.

However, after groping through her pockets, Reina suddenly realized that she, who had changed into Garcia's clothes in the hospital, had pulled all the other things inside the hospital except for her ID card and mobile phone.

Reina wants to make a promise, but in the eyes of the homeless without any sense of security, Reina's promise is not as real as a piece of bread or a bottle of water.

It is absolutely too late to go back to get the money, and the time for the arrival of the backup is still in the foreseeable future, and on Harold's side, the busy scheduling of various parties has already taken up most of his time, not to mention, because of the lack of information Well, Harold's previous investigation of the entrance of the old drainage pipe had already run into a wall. Unless a new breakthrough could be found, even Harold might have no way to think about it.

Faced with such a predicament, Leina had already expected it. However, she was unable to break through the entanglement of this predicament. For the first time, Lena felt her own powerlessness.

Thinking that Rhett on the other side might be encountering the same situation, Reina suddenly cheered up.

However, Lena rummaged through her body and found that the things on her body that could be worth some money now, except for the mobile phone in her hand and the government-owned SUV with a GPS positioning device parked outside, the only thing left was the gift from her mother that she always wore. My own necklace to commemorate my college entrance.

After thinking for a while, Reina gritted her teeth, took off the necklace from her neck, and held it in her hand.

Lena quietly bypassed the sight of several "leaders" among the homeless people, and cautiously came to a middle-aged man who had been in the crowd before, and whenever he mentioned the word money, his eyes would immediately sparkle. Beside the homeless.

"What do you want to do?" The middle-aged homeless man just glanced at Lena, and then he just found out from a pile of wine bottles that had been placed for an unknown amount of time. In the entrance.

It took a long, long time for the "rich" bottom of the bottle to transfer from the bottom of the bottle to the body of the bottle that was completely upside down. After sipping on the mouth of the bottle a few times, seeing that there was still no gain, he could only smack his lips regretfully, and then put the bottle in his hand back to the place where it was before.

"You know that I don't have any cash, but this necklace is made of platinum. If it is sent to a pawn shop, it should be worth some money." Lena cut to the chase, unfolding the necklace in front of the other party's eyes.

The middle-aged homeless man who had been extremely sensitive to the word "money" just now, his eyes lit up when Reina unfolded the necklace, but his expression soon returned to the original indifference, and at the same time he said coldly: "You Don't waste your time, I won't betray the people here."

"This phone is equipped with the government's positioning software, you can't use it, otherwise, I won't be stingy." Leina understood at a glance that the other party's appetite is not small, and she scanned it again in a hurry Take a look at yourself, and finally have a definition.

"Otherwise, I'll add the coat I'm wearing now. You should know the brand of this coat. As long as you take me to the place I want to go, I will give you this coat immediately. That way How?" Reina silently apologized sincerely to Garcia in her heart, and then added.

"There is also a thousand dollars for the aftermath, otherwise we won't talk about it." The middle-aged homeless man looked at Lena with a very decisive look in his eyes.

"OK, no problem." Reina felt relieved, "My name is Reina, what is your name?"

"Just call me Angel." The middle-aged homeless man carefully put up Lena's necklace, and then responded lightly.When he said this, he had already turned his back to Reina, his originally dark eyes suddenly became bright, and inadvertently, a trace of imperceptible contempt flashed across.

"Harold, when can the backup arrive here?" While Angel was preparing, Reina contacted Harold who had been waiting anxiously.

Harold: "It will take a while, Agent Reina, because the situation is worse than we imagined, and the manpower everywhere is very tight for the time being. However, what can be reassuring for the time being is that the hospital's preparedness It is very strict, and has not found any unusual clues for the time being."

Lena: "Is Jack okay?"

Harold: "Agent Sweet has brought Jack back and is now arranging to a safe place."

"That's right, that's good." Reina, who was thinking, briefly explained the matter to Harold, "...Time is running out now, although it is not certain that the other party will definitely launch an attack here, but , I can't wait any longer."

"But Agent Reina, do you really want to go there alone?" Knowing that Xiao hadn't rushed back because of the traffic control, Harold was very worried about Reina's safety.

Lena: "Don't worry, after so many lessons before, I won't be brave again. What's more, I just go down to explore the road first, I believe your backup will make me safe, hello Germany."

For Reina's trust, Harold felt warm: "Agent Reina, the dosage of those medicines must be well controlled."

"How did you know..." Reina was startled, but then she calmed down, "Why did I ask you such a stupid question at this moment? Don't worry, Harold, I will follow your 'doctor' orders Yes, keep in touch anytime."

Harold: "Yes, I see."

Even Reina didn't expect that it would be such a trouble just to find an old underground drainage pipe entrance, although the time when this entrance was abandoned may be older than Reina's mother.

Reina was put into a dilapidated, shapeless box by Angel. The smell in the box was mixed with all kinds of smells that even Reina couldn't distinguish, which almost made Reina faint immediately.

However, Reina, who had been instructed by Angel, did not dare to make any sound, so she could only cover her mouth and nose, and at the same time, try her best to turn her head to the edge of the gap artificially left by Angel between the box cover and the box body. , although it is not possible to get a sliver of fresh air from here, even if it is just a sliver of comfort in the heart, it is good for Lena to escape this difficult time.

At the beginning of the journey, it seemed to be fairly smooth. At first, Reina could still hear Angel's jerky words greeting the homeless, but after a while, she could only hear Angel's gradually heavy breathing. The sound and the squeaking of the rusty wheels of the trolley where the box sat was long overdue.

Not long after, Lena felt that the box began to bump continuously, and the box was constantly tilted with the up and down of the car. Lena only felt that her head was in constant contact with the box. Gradually, she began to feel Some dizzy.

Reina wanted to call Angel so that he could find a place to stop so that she could take a breath, but just as Reina was about to open her mouth, she found that her lips were completely disobedient .

Lena, who was shocked, hurriedly wanted to hit the box hard, so that Angel outside could notice her current state, but she suddenly felt that her limbs suddenly became limp, and the dizziness in her head became more and more serious. It's getting worse, the eyes that were opened just now, can't even lift the eyelids at this moment.

"When he talked to me, he was obviously very fluent. Why was his words so jerky when he communicated with homeless people?!" This question suddenly popped up in Leina's mind. At the same time, during the previous investigation, Ha The homeless information that Rhodes passed on to Lena jumped out from a corner of Lena's mind that was discarded by Lena, and quickly passed through Lena's mind. However, in this information, But there is no one named Angel.

"This...this...is, what, what's going on...Could it be, I, I fell into a trap...But, this, how is this possible..." Reina could only feel the movement of the car getting more and more The faster it was, the more violent the bumps became. Sitting in the box, she felt as if she was on a boat. Then, in this feeling like being on a boat, her consciousness gradually became Blurred and drifted away.

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom." "Agent Lena, are you okay?" Angel, who was pushing the car and kept moving, finally stopped on a flat road after he couldn't hear the movement inside the box. Stopped the car, and knocked on the box tentatively.

However, just as he judged, Reina inside the box has no reaction to the outside world at all.

Angel, who had a mediocre face just now, was instantly replaced by an incomparably lean expression. He carefully opened the broken lid of the box. In the dim light, the flushed face of Lena, who had passed out, appeared immediately. In front of Angel.

"Agent Reina?! Agent Reina?!" Harold, who was still in communication with Reina just now, suddenly couldn't hear Reina's movement. Although he didn't know what happened here, he felt something was wrong. He immediately broke the silence and called Reina through the earphones.

Angel bent down, picked up the earphone from the box that was constantly calling for Harold's anxious calls, threw it on the ground, and stepped on it fiercely.

"Chief information expert? Hey, hey, hey, hahahahahaha..." Angel seemed to be unable to control himself. He, who was still indifferent just now, suddenly burst into laughter. His laughter echoed in the empty sewer. It spread far and wide.

At the same time, Harold, who only heard a harsh noise coming from the earphones, took the earphones off his ears in a hurry, and quickly took another mobile phone he kept privately, and began to type quickly on it: "The target is in danger, the level is the highest, please go to protect it immediately!"

Harold, who completed the text message in the blink of an eye, immediately pressed the send button.

"Ms. Xiao, please arrive in time, Agent Reina, please be safe and well."

"What happened?" Just as Harold was praying secretly in his heart, a strange female voice suddenly sounded behind Harold.

"May I ask who you are?!" Harold turned around hastily, and suddenly found that standing in front of him was a graceful black middle-aged woman in a professional skirt.

"Meet you for the first time, Mr. Harold Arthur, the chief information security expert of the Washington Central Police Department." The black woman gracefully extended her right hand to Harold, "I am Alex from DHS (Department of Homeland Security) Amanda."

"Hello, Ms. Amanda." The moment he heard the word DHS, Harold, who had always been calm and composed, couldn't help trembling slightly in his heart, instinctively stretched out his hand, and held it together.

"Although it is a bit abrupt, I have to tell you that from now on, everything here will be taken over by me, and I hope that you, Mr. Harold Arthur, the chief information security expert of the Washington Central Police Department, Can provide me with the most efficient help." Amanda said neither humble nor overbearing.

"Well, it seems that there has never been such an order before." Harold tried hard to adjust his emotions.

"This is my personal request, because I never like things that waste time, especially those redundant administrative procedures and orders." Amanda slowly came to Harold's side, "If there is no objection , Mr. Harold, by the way, may I call you that?"

"Of course, just call me Harold." Harold turned around and sat down in front of his computer.

"Mr. Harold, please give me a detailed introduction to the actions of Agent Reina and Agent Rhett immediately. Of course, don't forget that the first thing to explain is that they have lost contact, and the last place they are in Location and details." Before the words finished, Amanda sat down beside Harold slowly.
