Chapter 786 Case Closed and Maternity Leave

Jiejie drove the Subaru slowly to the driveway in front of the house. Jubal picked up the phone and called Ronnie again, "She's in the car."

Ronnie in the room hesitated a little. He looked at White, who was tied to the chair by him, and then at Emma, ​​who was crying beside him. After a long hesitation, he finally made up his mind, grabbed the girl, and pushed her into the front hall.

Not long after, the curtains in the front hall were opened a crack, revealing Emma's face with heavy makeup blurred by tears.

"There is no shooting angle, blocked by the hostage." Hannah reported calmly.

"Me too." Clay's voice was also calm.

At the same time, Jack, who appeared at the back door at some point, opened the door with a lock picking tool in a few seconds, but did not rush in immediately. Instead, he turned his head and looked at the tablet in Aubrey's hand.

A drone with an infrared camera is a good thing. Although it can't be made like a perspective cheat like in Hollywood blockbusters, it can also roughly confirm the position of the people inside through windows and curtains.

"Open the damn window, don't try to fool me." Ronnie shouted loudly on the phone.

Jiejie, wearing a bulletproof vest, got out of the car and opened the side door of the Suburban. The blindfolded Leilin appeared in the back seat.

"Ronnie! Ronnie! Where are you?" Leilin cried and struggled desperately, trying to get rid of the blindfold on her face. Jiejie couldn't control her for a while.

"Leilin! Baby!" Ronnie's face was distorted, and his expression was extremely excited. He pulled off the curtains in front of him and pressed half of Emma's face against the window.

"I want her to see me! Now! Immediately!"

Jubal refused flatly, "This is impossible. We agreed that unless you release a hostage first."

"Then what about this?" Ronnie put a gun to Emma's head, forced her to lie on the windowsill, and began to take off her pants with a grin.

"Did your mother really not teach you how to respect women when you were a child? Oh, I almost forgot, she is a 'Whore'." A very vicious and sarcastic voice suddenly came from the inner room.

Ronnie looked back in horror. His brain, which had long lost its rationality, was not enough for him to react in time. Just when he subconsciously wanted to raise his gun to aim at Jack and Aubrey who appeared behind him at some point, a burning pain suddenly spread from his chest.

However, the distance of more than 100 meters is really a matter of seconds for sniper bullets with a muzzle velocity of more than 900 meters per second. The two bullets shattered the glass window from different angles and penetrated into Ronnie's body.

The first bullet shot into his back and broke his spine. The second one hit his neck, shattering half of his cervical vertebrae and tearing off the carotid artery leading to the brain, directly creating a blood fountain.

"Bang!" Ronnie's head, which had no time to droop, was hit in the middle of his eyebrows by Aubrey's shot. White and red splashed all over Emma, ​​who was lying on the windowsill, and scared her to scream loudly.

"You know we don't have administrative leave, right?" Jack put away the SIG Sauer P320-XTen that had not fired a single shot, and glanced at Aubrey who was still in a daze.

"What?" The latter was still in a daze, not yet recovered from his first "kill record".

Jack shook his head, "Nothing, I mean your shooting skills have improved."

——

"Ronnie!"

"Ronnie! No!"

Raylin finally rubbed off the blindfold on the back of the car seat and cried miserably. People who didn't know the situation might think that a tragedy like Romeo and Juliet had just been staged here.

Jack and Aubrey helped the bruised and battered White Cornell and Emma Jennings, who was seriously injured both physically and mentally, out of the house and sent them to the ambulance.

Jubal's eyes withdrew from the direction of Raylin and fell on the two victims again, and finally showed a bitter smile, "If Hollywood gets this script, will they make it into a classic like "Bonnie and Clyde"? "

"Who cares." Jack was too lazy to think about it, "Anyway, we are destined to be supporting roles."

"If we bring Ronnie's mother here, do you think the ending will be different?" Jubal suddenly asked a strange question.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he quickly raised his hands and saluted in a French military salute, "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to sympathize with you, it's just a discussion, because Ronnie seemed a little scared when he heard me mention his mother."

"I don't think someone as extremely selfish as Ronnie's mother would be willing to cooperate with us, things will only get out of control." Clay carefully disassembled his beloved gun and put it into the gun box, saying with disdain.

After handing Lei Lin to the local police, Jie Jie also came back to join the discussion, "I don't think Ronnie would surrender because of that little bit of fear, it's more likely that he would have a mental breakdown directly. He was completely crazy when he saw Lei Lin just now."

"A woman like her shouldn't be a mother." Hannah muttered in a low voice.

"OK, the discussion ends here." Seeing that he was about to start criticizing the "abortion bill" if he continued, Jack quickly stepped on the brakes. Some things in the United States today are topics that cannot be mentioned, at least not openly discussed at the crime scene.

Whether Ronnie suffered violent abuse in his childhood or was simply a psychological PUA was not covered by the Wanted Criminals Team's written report.

Ronnie's mother disappeared after the case was over, and she didn't even go to claim the body. Even if a reporter wanted to dig up the story behind this case, he couldn't do it.

As for Leilin, I hope she can spend the rest of her life in a mental hospital.

A week later, in the office of the wanted criminal team.

After the case was over, everyone was not in a very good mood, not only because there was no administrative leave, but also because they had to sit in the office and write reports every day.

"Promise me, Jack." Jubal stretched his waist and his old waist creaked. "As long as it is not a mandatory task assigned by the top, we will only accept one wanted order a month in the future."

"Isn't it your job to check the wanted list? Don't push it to me. I have already written an extra report for Clay. The report on the shooting in Charlotte was written by you." Jack replied without raising his head.

"I want to take a leave. My game console will get moldy if it is not powered on." Hannah yawned boredly on the table.

After typing the last word, Jack pushed the keyboard forward and announced loudly, "Everyone will have a day off tomorrow. We will go to Clay's house to visit little Clay."

A few days after returning to New York, Clay's wife Stella went into labor and gave birth to a full-term fat boy.

Americans do not have the custom of confinement after childbirth. Stella returned home on the day of delivery. Danny's wife Linda has been helping to take care of her these days.

Thanks to the current president, Clay, as a federal employee, has 12 weeks of paid paternity leave.

You should know that the maternity leave system in the United States is almost non-existent at the federal level. Only the Family and Medical Leave Act stipulates that the father and mother of a newborn can take 12 weeks of unpaid maternity leave.

And only about half of Americans can enjoy this benefit, because this law only applies to employees who have worked for a company with more than 50 employees for more than one year and work more than 25 hours a week.

In fact, few people really choose to take this kind of unpaid maternity leave or paternity leave. Not to mention 12 weeks without income, even if there is no income for 4 weeks, many people will go hungry.
