Chapter 59 Colombia

 At night, after the children had gone to bed, Jack climbed up to the roof to look at the stars. After a while, the melodious sound of the harmonica sounded.

Not long after, there was a noise from behind, and Lucy came too.

Sitting next to Jack and being handed a cup of tea, Lucy looked at the harmonica in Jack's hand and said, "When did you learn it?"

Jack shrugged: "These two years."

The skill of playing the harmonica actually belongs to the original owner of this body. During Stumbling Block's incubation period, he was bored most of the time, and the original owner used to use this to pass the time.

Lucy nodded and did not continue the topic, but said: "The bureau is handling a big case recently and is short of manpower, so we often have to work overtime. You have to help me take care of Lilith and Jeremy these two days, otherwise I will

We can only hire a nanny."

Jack nodded in agreement. Anyway, he was fine for the past two days, and it would be fine to be a full-time nurse for a few days.

In the next few days, Jack saw how busy Lucy was.

Lucy didn't come home for several days in a row. If it weren't for the occasional phone call to ask about the child, Jack would have suspected that she was missing.

Then one day, after Jack picked up the two little guys and returned home from school, he unexpectedly saw Lucy's car parked outside.

"Why did you get off work so early today?"

Jack shouted upstairs while putting the two children's schoolbags on the sofa.

When he went upstairs, he found Lucy packing her things.

"What is this for?"

Lucy stuffed a piece of underwear into the travel bag, saw Jack, and replied: "It's an emergency, we have to go on a business trip."

"Where to go?"

"Medellin."

"Colombia?"

"Yes."

Jack knows that the Medellin Lucy mentioned is the second largest city in Colombia.

"Handling the case?"

"Yes, I can't be too specific."

Lucy gave her a knowing look and shrugged.

Jack did understand and rolled his eyes. It's a code of confidentiality.

"When are you leaving?"

"Tomorrow morning."

"Don't worry about my safety, our whole team is going."

Lucy knew what Jack wanted to say next and said it in advance.

Jack nodded.

Although the main mission of the DEA is to combat illegal drug trade and use in the United States, they have long had the habit of going abroad for law enforcement.

The United States has also signed agreements with many Central American countries, so DEA's law enforcement in those countries is recognized by the local governments.

As for safety, he is not too worried.

In the 1980s, there was a case of torture and murder of a DEA agent that shocked the United States.

A U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agent named Camarena was kidnapped by Mexican drug traffickers in retaliation. The drug dealers broke his ribs, skinned his legs, and directly crushed his skull, jaw, cheekbones and trachea.

They even used a drill to make a hole in his head, which was horrific.

In order to torture Camarena while he was awake, the drug dealers also injected him with large amounts of amphetamines.

A month later, someone found his body in the wilderness.

The autopsy report showed that drug dealers tortured him for at least 30 hours before killing Camarena and dumping his body.

Such lawless behavior completely angered the entire United States.

The DEA, which was originally dawdling, responded immediately and launched the largest homicide investigation since its establishment. The operation was code-named "Legend."

Because Mexican officials obstructed the extradition of the suspect in every possible way, the DEA even issued a reward of US$5 million to "extradit" the suspect to the United States through other less legal means and sentence him.

This move shocked the drug lords at the time. No matter whether the drug lords were in Mexico or Colombia, as long as they were still in their territory, it didn't make much difference whether they were jailed or not. But once they were extradited to the United States, it was over. This proved that they would never have anything more.

A chance to make a comeback.

Therefore, drug lords in both places have restrained their methods and dare not attack DEA agents again.

With this lesson learned, Lucy and the others should have no problem with their safety in Colombia.

The next day, Lucy said a brief goodbye to the children and embarked on a journey abroad.

Jack continued to work hard as his full-time nurse.

……

A few days later, Colombia

The DEA's investigation work here was not going well. They knew that the Pedro drug cartel was very powerful in Medellin before they came, but they discovered after they came that they had underestimated it.

A more accurate description is that the Pedro drug cartel is almost equivalent to the local emperor of Medellin. Here, old Pedro speaks better than the mayor of Medellin.

"It's simply not possible to continue like this. The Medellin city government requires us to give them advance notice for every action, but the police system here is simply a sieve. We submit the action plan, and within five minutes, the plan will appear.

In front of old Pedro..."

Ronald was so angry that he threw a stack of information on the table. The three operations they had planned so far had all failed. For last night's operation, the other party even left a message on the ground to humiliate them.

What is this? This is a naked provocation.

The expressions on other people's faces were not very good either.

"Ronald is right, the local government and old Pedro are simply in cahoots with each other..."

Agent Jabbar was equally aggrieved.

"Boss, if we want to catch Pedro, we must avoid those rogue policemen..."

This time it was Lucy who spoke. Although she came late, her ability has been recognized by everyone.

Everyone looked at Murphy, who was the person in charge of this operation.

"I am not opposed to doing this if necessary, but there is only one chance. Once it fails, the Colombian government will definitely put pressure on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, so we must ensure success once. Do you have any good suggestions?"

Murphy is an experienced veteran DEA who has left his anti-drug footprints in El Paso, San Diego, and Phoenix.

This is not his first visit to Colombia.

He looked at everyone in turn. Ronald obviously had an idea and said: "I think we should adjust the arrest direction. Previously, the arrest target was Little Pedro, but Little Pedro and Old Pedro

Completely different.

Old Pedro likes to use militias, but young Pedro has been a soldier, and he believes in the strategy of elite soldiers. Although the number of his armed forces is small, almost all of them are retired members of the Colombian special forces or former anti-narcotics teams.

There are retired special forces members and even a mercenary group that cooperates regularly, so it is extremely difficult to capture him..."

Having said this, Ronald looked specifically at Herbert next to him, and Herbert nodded.

Many law enforcement agencies in the United States have their own tactical teams, such as the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives' Rapid Response Team (SRT), the FBI's Hostage Rescue Team (HRT), and the DEA also has its own team called FAST, whose full name is "

Overseas Deployment Consulting and Support Team".
