The World of American Drama: From the Los Angeles Patrol

Chapter 1058 Holiday Trip
"He's fine. He's fine."

Hannah hurried to comfort the heartbroken mother, saying that some things were better clarified in a timely manner. Little Nicholas was just a little frightened, and although he might need some psychological counseling after returning home, he had not suffered any substantial harm.

After bringing a group of people to the new camp, Elijah set an example by working personally throughout the day yesterday and participated in the hard work of building the camp fence.

They also held a lively party in the evening. When the believers outside fell into madness after consuming the drug, Elijah took little Nicholas away from his mother Rebecca and lived in the chapel on the grounds that the child needed special care.

At that time, Rebecca had fallen into the hallucinations brought about by psychedelic mushrooms. Although she realized that something was wrong, she was powerless to resist. In a blink of an eye, she was dragged into the tent by several men.

Fortunately, little Nicholas had just passed the incubation period of malaria. The severe vomiting and diarrhea made Elijah lose his temper. He simply rinsed him with cold water, locked him in a small iron cage, and went to bed to rest.

By the time Hannah found the poor child, little Nicholas had already shown signs of mild dehydration and began to have a high fever and talk nonsense.

Then the previous scene appeared. Jack sneaked into the chapel and threw Elijah out directly. Hannah's kick completely helped him get rid of the man's troubles, so that he could concentrate on being a saint in the future.

Before Elijah could continue to preach his stuff, several women who had fully sobered up had already excitedly pounced on him and started beating and even biting him with their hands and feet.

To be honest, it is difficult for the FBI to show enough sympathy for these women's experiences. After all, drugs and hallucinogenic mushrooms are just inducements, and they were not forced to use these things.

But no matter what, these women were deceived. Stupidity and ignorance are not sins, and they cannot alleviate the sins committed by Elijah and his believers.

"Don't let him get killed." Jack reminded Detective Pollino that the FBI did not have law enforcement authority in this area and the criminal would eventually be handed over to them.

As for extradition, that is a matter of communication between the two governments and judicial systems. There is no statement that the FBI will directly bring the person back to the United States, but it would be difficult to explain if he died in front of them.

Detective Pollino waved his hand, and two police officers stepped forward and dragged the dying Elijah out of the crowd.

"I have questioned several of the assholes and they have confirmed that Elijah personally killed Jacob Bruce in front of two of them because they objected to taking 7-year-old Nicholas off the train.

The two men then had an argument, and Elijah, in a rage, accidentally killed him and abandoned his body on the Somali territory, hoping to disrupt the police's investigation.

Hearing what the black detective said, Jubal sighed noncommittally, "Has Jacob Bruce found his conscience? Maybe."

"Anyway, this case is over. I heard that your country has the death penalty, but it has long been no longer actually carried out?" Jack asked deliberately.

Detective Pollino understood the meaning of the music and couldn't help but smile on his face, which always maintained its dignity with a serious expression.

"But Tanzania is also a conservative country, and the medical conditions here are not very good, not to mention the prisons."

"It would be a shame if this guy died in prison before the extradition process could take effect." Aubrey came over and echoed hypocritically.

Although the ending of this case was not a very pleasant one, fortunately the most innocent child was not harmed too much.

It was just malaria. Even without Jack's treatment, there was still the combination therapy of the miracle drug "artemisinin" to treat malaria. After being sent to the East China University of Technology's African aid hospital in Dar es Salaam, little Nicholas' condition was quickly relieved.

Of course, what was more troublesome was the remaining 20 American tourists, half of whom were men and half were women. Although the men were suspected of being involved in the case, there was no solid evidence, so in the end they all had to be released.

And some of them might be victims, after all, the arrangements and combinations in the tents at that time were really too demanding on the FBI's mathematical skills.

You have to know that apart from these white tourists from the United States, Elijah's followers who were poached by others are all locals.

Tanzania's HIV infection rate is also among the highest in Africa. Among the country's 6700 million people, the number of people infected with HIV that can be actually counted exceeds 220 million.

Judging from the situation after the tent was opened, although Tanzania is an exporter of natural rubber, condoms made of natural rubber are expensive imported goods. Add to that the habits of the local black uncles and their taste for both raw and cold food, and it is difficult to evaluate.

Finally, it was Jubal who managed to get two batches of HIV prevention drugs. The first batch contained doses for 10 people, and they were given to the 24 female victims within the 10-hour validity period.

The second batch also arrived with a 72-hour expiration date, so it is unknown how many male American tourists took it.

After all, there are still a few of them who are still devoted to Elijah and firmly believe that he is being persecuted and that all this is a test.

After leaving behind a bunch of rarely used supplies and medicines such as long-lasting medicated mosquito nets, the FBI said goodbye to Detective Pollino, who always had a serious face, and old Muto, who always smiled only at Jack.

Well, after receiving this batch of things, old Muto solemnly called these FBI people "Comrade", which made it impossible for Jubal and his men to deal with them.

However, since it was a rare trip to Africa, and the military transport plane flew to Djibouti the day after landing, everyone decided to stay and play for a few days.

The first place we went to was Kilimanjaro, a natural wonder that appears very frequently in the Civilization series of games.

Although it is the highest mountain in Africa, compared with Mount Everest, which is the highest in Asia and the world, Kilimanjaro is much more friendly to tourists. There are as many as seven routes to the summit.

From 85-year-old elders to children aged seven or eight, there are records of successful climbs to the summit.

These climbing routes have their own advantages and disadvantages. Some take a long time but there are wooden houses for accommodation, so there is no need for camping; some have beautiful scenery but are crowded and more difficult to climb.

Taking into consideration factors such as everyone's physical fitness and time, the FBI finally chose the oldest Marangu route.

This was the best climbing season for Mount Kilimanjaro. It took the group three days to go back and forth, from the tropical rainforest to the temperate coniferous forest, and from the alpine desert to the glacier zone.

Although it was not as fast as the fastest summit record set by some professionals, the speed of the five people was far faster than that of most tourists, and they did not even hire porters or professional guides.

After appreciating the Zhuangli glacier, we returned to the foot of the mountain to rest for a day, and then we flew to Zanzibar Island.

The full name of Tanzania is the United Republic of Tanzania. The word "Sang" in the name and the part it unites are this world-famous archipelago.

This name can also be found in the Civilization series of games. The trading city-state that can provide players with both cloves and cinnamon, two luxury resources, in Civilization 6 is called Zanzibar.

Only when arriving here do people finally feel like they have truly arrived in Africa. The climate is hot and humid, with strong sunshine, but it also makes Jubal and Aubrey, who are used to city life, feel like they have been reborn.

Although the urban area here is small and shabby, it is back in the city after all. I no longer have to worry about those terrible mosquitoes carrying malaria parasites. I can find available electrical sockets everywhere, and I don’t have to worry about gastrointestinal discomfort caused by eating the wrong food.

Jack took everyone for a stroll and found a clean, hygienic, and inexpensive Chinese restaurant. The fresh grouper was able to impress everyone's taste buds just by being simply steamed.

Compared to the natural wonder of Kilimanjaro, Zanzibar is more or less a cultural wonder. Although this ancient city-state is far away in Africa, it was recorded in historical materials as early as the Song and Yuan dynasties.

Copper coins from the Song Dynasty and blue and white porcelain from the Yuan Dynasty have been unearthed here, and there are even descendants of the crew members of Zheng He's fleet on the island.

They snorkeled in the underwater ancient city, visited the slave auction house, enjoyed a variety of seafood and tropical fruits, and accepted Hannah's occasional night raids. It was not until Rossi called impatiently that Jack and everyone else reluctantly returned to the still cold New York.

"Since when did escorting prisoners become the mission of our wanted criminals team?" Jack was confused when he saw Rossi, who had taken over Dana Moger's office, and received the new mission.
