My Beauty Collection: Starting from Banshee Town

The Loop.

This is the city center of Chicago, a bustling office and business district.

All kinds of skyscrapers stand everywhere, showing the city's style.

The clean streets are full of streams.

On the sightseeing bus, tourists from all over the world picked up their cameras and pressed the shutter to capture the beautiful scenery in the lens.

"Ba ba."

A few harsh voices interrupted their elegant mood.

Some tourists sitting on the roof grabbed the guardrail of the sightseeing car and looked outside.

Several duty cars shining with blue light roared up from behind, and the Cadillac in the lead looked extraordinarily domineering, driving as if entering no one's land.

Vehicles on the road, including sightseeing cars, dodged to both sides one after another.

"boom."

Ethan stepped on the accelerator again, and the Cadillac let out a dull growl.

He chewed the gum in his mouth, and turned his head to look at the high-rise buildings next to him. He didn't come into contact with such a city scene much.

What we face on weekdays are more impoverished streets.

A week has passed since the evidence robbery case.

Recently, the southern district has been calm and peaceful.

Unexpectedly, when Director Perry made a phone call while he was enjoying his leisure life, he and the entire intelligence team were called over.

Although it is said that the jurisdiction of the 21st branch is in the southern district.

However, the work of the intelligence team was not limited to the southern area. They would also be involved in difficult cases.

And now, it is time to make a move.

After turning a few street corners, a police siren sounded faintly ahead. Ethan looked in the rearview mirror, and two fire trucks followed behind them, heading towards the target together.

Hit the accelerator again, and soon saw the crowd running in fear in front.

A patrol car surrounded the office building in front.

More than a dozen patrolmen were maintaining order. When they saw the convoy approaching with flashing blue lights, someone immediately waved and directed them to where to park.

Stay close to the street and park your vehicle.

Opening the car door and stepping out of the car, Ethan raised his head. Next to him was a building more than 100 meters high.

Of course, compared with the Trump Tower in the distance, it is just a child's play.

"what's going on?"

Antonio in the back closed the car door, he asked inexplicably.

"I don't know." Ethan pointed to the crowd who ran out of the building: "Did you see their expressions? No matter what it is, we'd better change into our equipment."

People from the intelligence team got out of the car one after another, and when they saw the passers-by looking flustered, they nodded quickly.

Ethan also quickly walked behind the Cadillac and opened the tailgate.

Putting the bulletproof vest on indiscriminately, he took out the AR15 from the gun case. When he was arranging the vest, a pair of big hands grabbed the Velcro and pulled it hard, helping him to make the clothes fit snugly.

"damn it."

Antonio squeezed the muscles on Ethan's arm: "You should come to my friend's fighting club to play, I swear, it will be very interesting."

"Please."

Ethan hung the AR15 on his body, and smiled helplessly:

"Please don't say something like fun, it's very interesting while pinching my muscles."

"Hahaha."

Seeing Antonio's unusual embarrassment, Erin laughed and walked over with a shotgun on her back:
"It's okay, just say a little more, I like to hear it."

However, when she saw the muscle lines of Ethan's arms, she was also full of splendor.

"Just kidding." Ethan punched Antonio's shoulder as a gesture: "Don't take it to heart, I won't go, for fear of killing someone with one punch."

Antonio dodged flexibly, smiling and shaking his head.

Several other people also came over one after another.

All in blue jeans, short sleeves, and a black bulletproof vest, with a long gun hanging on his body and a short gun stuck in his waist, exuding a capable aura.

The auras of Rusek and Atwater are getting closer and closer to others.

Orlinski bites the jiggle, looking nonchalant.

Horstead stood in awe, ready for battle.

After making eye contact with the six of them, Ethan smiled and waved:
"Intelligence team, move forward!"

A group of people followed behind him, walking towards the tall building next to him like a rainbow.

Walking into the front door of this office building, under the guidance of the patrolmen, they moved up the escalator, and from time to time encountered some white-collar workers in bright clothes, and hurriedly left the building in the opposite direction.

With this battle, it shouldn't be a small matter.

The expressions of the members of the intelligence team became serious, and Olinsky chewed the twisted candy two or three times.

Coming to the upper lobby, in the corner inside, a large group of Chicago police officers stood together. Most of these people were wearing police uniforms, and a few of them were plainclothes.

In the crowd, there were several members of the violent crime group.

"Has anyone from the intelligence team come over?"

A few people came out from the corner, their big bald heads were very conspicuous, Perry's face was solemn, and his forehead was black and shiny.

Behind him was Hank, and two men in security uniforms.

"it's here."

Ethan raised his hand, he led the crowd, and walked over under the eyes of the No. 30 people on the scene.

"very good."

Perry nodded, then looked at Hank: "You can explain the situation."

"No problem." Hank glanced around the intelligence team, sighing in his heart, and pointed out: "You, come here."

A police officer in the violent crime team was shocked.

The police officer hurried forward, and under Hank's command, he turned around obediently.

"Listen." Hank unfolded an architectural blueprint and photographed the police officer's back: "There was a hostage-taking incident here, and now 13 hostages are trapped in the elevator."

His finger slides, pointing to a location on the drawing:
"There are three load-bearing steel cables in the elevator, and now one has been blown off. It is hovering a little below the [-]th floor."

"The person who planted the bomb contacted us and demanded $300 million."

"People in the building are being evacuated and all elevators have stopped working."

Hearing the general situation, Ethan frowned.

There is no other reason, anyway, I just don't like to deal with people who play bombs, the degree of danger is too high.

"Where are the bomb disposal experts?"

Ethan raised his hand and asked, "How much time will the bomber give us?"

"The bomb disposal team is coming." Hank glanced at his watch, frowned and said, "He gave us an hour to raise money. After the time limit, he needs to see the cash. There is still half an hour left."

Damn, Ethan cursed secretly.

What have you been doing for the past half hour.

Everyone present raised their hands in unison, remembering the current time.

"I need someone to go up and check on the situation."

Hank looked at Ethan, and said in a deep voice, "We need to know exactly how many bombs are installed on the elevator, and their yields, so that bomb disposal experts can deal with them as soon as possible after they arrive."

"For the same reason, it is not known whether there were other bombs installed in the building."

"Everyone must move and evacuate the crowd in the office building as soon as possible."

No matter how to investigate afterwards, the most important thing now is to resolve the crisis first.

If there were to be a big explosion in a place like this, everyone would be in trouble.

"Why don't you ring the bell?" Ethan tapped the red fire bell next to him: "Isn't it faster?"

"No." Perry shook his head and said:

"In order to avoid panic among the people in the elevator, now only tell them that the elevator is malfunctioning."

At this time, I can only do my part.

Perry called himself all the way here, not to let him watch the play.

Turning around, several people in the intelligence team all had firm eyes.

It doesn't take so many people to check the situation.

However, the bomber may also stay on it, so be careful. Ethan said casually, "Irene, Rusek, you two go up with me, and the others stay here to cooperate with the deputy director's work."

Leave a few people behind so that Hank can use them more easily.

"understood."

The person who was named quickly stood up.

"Shh."

A small fanny pack was thrown over by the security personnel of the building: "It contains the key to the elevator shaft and some small tools in case you need it."

"By the way, the entrance and exit platform closest to the elevator is on the 32nd floor."

The situation is urgent, there is no time for nonsense now.

Taking the waist bag and buckling it on his body, and nodding to Hank, Ethan took Irene and Rusek and ran quickly to the fire stairs. (end of this chapter)
