I love you, I won't kill you

Sitting at a restaurant on North Lake Havasu Boulevard, Elaine said after feasting on a Mexican pizza with pepperoni, sausage, meatballs, bacon and jalapeños, "I'm sorry, Oman Da. I didn't eat half of a 10" pizza in 14 minutes."

Amanda drank water and looked out the window thoughtfully, "It's okay."

"Okay. Now, what's your plan." Elaine asked while drinking water from a glass.

"According to the GPS location of Anthony's mobile phone, he is currently still in a 'mad dog' bar on McCulloch Avenue in Lake Havasu City. Then, we can use this time to check his apartment." Amanda said .

"What do you think, he will definitely imprison his ex-girlfriend and children at home?"

"Come on, if Anthony didn't love his Richmond girlfriend, why would he have two daughters with her?"

"But Nina can choose not to have a second child?"

"Elaine, the organization Anthony joined belongs to the right-wing conservative forces in the United States. They use anti-abortion, anti-gun control, and anti-gay as the values ​​that the organization has always advertised. I think you should know this better than me." Amanda said.

"Well, I remembered that the FBI had a statistics last year. According to the statistics, there were nearly 6000 'hate crimes' last year, and most of the criminals called themselves 'neo-Nazis'. These people Most of the criminal motives are based on the victim's race, nationality, sexual orientation prejudice or religious prejudice. In addition, some bisexuals and Jewish social groups will also encounter 'hate crimes'." Elaine said.

"Well, in this case, Anthony's criminal motive can be explained."

"Are you saying that your sexuality caused Anthony to commit a hate crime against you?"

"Maybe. At the time, he didn't know who I was or the questions about me. I think Nina succumbed to his bullying, intimidation or domestic violence and said something after I left."

"Well, especially after you helped his ex-girlfriend get rid of domestic violence, he instead thinks his ex-girlfriend is a bisexual woman who likes gays. So, transfer the hatred, prejudice towards you to his ex-girlfriend and two children."

"Elaine, I'm so sorry. I didn't realize the unintended pain this would cause Nina and her baby."

"Amanda, don't be sad, it's not your fault. At present, we can only help your friends and children the most by rescuing them safely."

"Thank you. Alright, let's go." Amanda got up and said after putting down a $20 bill on the table.

"Hey, the pizza is $14.99 and it's only $15 with 17.25% tip, you're giving way too much," Elaine yelled.

"Shut up and go." Amanda walked towards the door.

The two walked out of the restaurant and got into the Shelby GT500.Elaine asked, "Is your information accurate?"

Amanda blinked. "Hmm. I can trust him on this one."

"Who? Trust whom?"

"Brandon Balfour."

"Well, I didn't expect a guy to fall in love with you. Tell me, is this Brandon a cool-looking Marine Corps officer?"

"No, he's just the boss of a company. Well, if you want to meet him, you can go to Arlington and find him on a date."

"Really? Arlington, Virginia, or Arlington somewhere else?" Elaine asked intentionally.

"Virginia, the Arlington across the river from Washington, DC." Amanda glanced at her impatiently.

She didn't want to tell people too much about the people she'd met in Arlington and what had happened on the East Coast.Therefore, I did not continue to chat with Elaine on this topic.Of course, at this moment, she is not in the mood to talk about emotional matters.

"Uh, do you have the exact location of Anthony's apartment?"

"Hmm, Brandon has written all the information he found out and sent it to me in a message."

"Okay, give me the address so I can call backup."

"We have entered Arizona now, where are you going to notify the FBI?" Amanda asked while driving.

"Geographically, the FBI branch in Phoenix, Arizona is the closest to us, and we can ask for their assistance." Elaine was speaking, and had already called the Phoenix (Phoenix) FBI.

Entering Lake Havasu City in June, the average daytime temperature has reached 6 degrees.Even at zero o'clock at night, there will be a hot temperature of 43-26 degrees.

Elaine sat in the car with the windows open and felt the night wind blowing in her face, but she still felt that her body was starting to sweat.Now, she wanted to take off her suit jacket, "Amanda, why is it so hot in here?"

"Because 40% of Arizona is desert scrub and arid areas."

"Oh, so are we in this 40 percent area?"

"Hmm, if you want to take off your coat, don't ask my opinion."

Amanda drove east on Highway 95.When she reached the intersection of Highway 95 and South McCulloch Avenue, according to the GPS in her car, she turned left onto South McCulloch Avenue.After driving for about 2.3 miles, I came to a four-block residential area east of Lake Havasu City outside the city.

"What is this place? It looks like a no-man's land." Elaine asked nervously.

"I don't know. Brandon told me that Anthony's last apartment address is Stone Window Street here." Amanda checked the phone message and said.

"Ok, I trust you."

"Uh, when you enter the house to check later, whose orders will you listen to?"

"Wait, you're going to go straight into his house?"

"Hmm, is there a problem?"

"No. Even the local police cannot enter private homes without a search warrant." Elaine said in a low voice.

"The owner of the house is my friend, and my friend asked me to help her fix the gas leak in the kitchen. Special agent Elaine Kearns, do you think my reason is appropriate?" Amanda's mouth twitched slightly, Say something.

Elaine glanced at her and shook her head, "I hope the suspect won't go home at this time."

Amanda said calmly, "If Nina and her child are not found, I really hope he will go home."

The surrounding area is dark and silent, and the private houses on the entire Stone Window Street are similar to the other three blocks.It seems that there is a large or small section of empty desert irrigation area between the houses.

When the car approached the house at the end of the street quietly, the two got out of the car and walked to the rear of the car in silence.Amanda opened the trunk, took out a binocular monocular head-mounted night vision goggle from a bag, and handed it to Elaine, "Take it, put it on."

"Wow, do we really need this kind of thing??" In Elaine's view, tonight's action was more like an illegal break-in of a private house.

"Remember, Anthony may come back at any time, so we can't shine any lights when we act." Amanda explained the details of the operation.

There is no doubt that Amanda has become the supreme commander of tonight's operation.What she is used to is military operations tactics, that is, to quickly and quietly approach the target that needs to be reconnaissance in the dark, and when it is not necessary, she can safely retreat to a safe area without killing the enemy.

"Hmm, what if even the night vision device can't see the situation in the house clearly?" Elaine asked.

"Impossible. The NVG-7 night vision device has high imaging quality and adopts a binocular design. As long as there is starlight and weak moonlight, you can get a clear image. Even in a completely dark place, you can use the built-in The infrared light source keeps the vision clear and completes the work smoothly.” When Amanda was talking, she had taken out the Glock 22 pistol and leg holster from her bag.

"Uh, Amanda, my bulletproof vest is still in my car," Elaine said suddenly.

"Use mine, I don't have to wear it." Amanda took out another bulletproof vest and handed it to her.
