American Detective: Starting as a Rookie Cop in an American TV Show

Chapter 1509 The Fall of Olympus (Part 6)
"If you can get into the Oval Office, there's a picture frame on the wall to the right of the desk, behind which is a safe. Inside is a satellite phone for the president's use, which can be directly connected to the Pentagon via a dedicated line."

The safe's combination is "

Before Joey could finish reciting the password, General Craig interrupted him, even reaching out to turn off the microphone of the conference phone on the table.

"Wait a minute, can we trust this guy? Almost all the Secret Service agents in the White House are dead, why would an FBI agent like him be there?"

Dana Morge narrowed her eyes slightly, looking at the Army Chief of Staff with a rather unfriendly expression. "Jack is our FBI's best agent. I believe that even if Director Womack and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Al Kleiman, were here, they would think so."

If you have any doubts about this, you can ask General Hammer, the mastermind behind the Alcatraz incident, yourself; he should be very qualified to speak on this matter.

Maureen continued, "When my 'husband' Zoe was the LAPD Wilshire Station Chief, Jack was one of her best officers, and he's always been like family to us."

Although Jack wasn't a soldier by training, Sergeant Jason Hayes of SEAL Team Six had fought alongside him many times, and I trusted him more than anyone else here.

"OK, I have no more questions." Seeing that Joey was about to say something more, the Army Chief of Staff, sensing the slightly awkward atmosphere, quickly raised his hand in "surrender" and then turned the microphone back on.

General Craig wasn't stupid; he initially just wanted to take advantage of the situation and gain more political capital.

Seeing that the entire upper echelon had been wiped out, it was impossible for him, as the Army Chief of Staff, not to have some ulterior motives. Seeing that things were hopeless, he decisively chose to back down.

The agent named Jack immediately declared that he wanted to find a way to rescue the female president's senator "husband." Of course, he couldn't possibly jump out to oppose or obstruct the plan, but if things went wrong, he could use his earlier questioning as an excuse to make trouble.

Joey briefly recounted what had just happened. Jack on the other end of the phone was silent for three seconds, then expressed shock and asked, "What does the other party want to do?"

“We don’t know yet. We’re trying to figure it out and hope to rescue the president and the others,” Maureen replied.

She had no real interest in the presidency, but rather than helplessly watching her lover risk his life, Maureen hoped to do her best to help Jack.

“I turned off internal monitoring, which might give me some leverage, but I don’t know how long it will last.”

Jack continued to speak in a low voice, causing everyone on the other end of the phone to crane their necks and hold their breath to listen. "I need someone to help me plan an evacuation route. I heard there are some abandoned tunnels under the White House."

I'll try to get into the president's office and get the satellite phone. I'll contact them again in about 20 minutes. I should leave now; they might find me here at any time after discovering the surveillance is down.

Hearing the call end, Maureen looked at Joey, who nodded quickly, "There are indeed some usable abandoned tunnels under the white house. I'll arrange for someone to deliver the architectural plans immediately."

The White House covers an area of ​​approximately 3 square meters. The main building has three floors above ground, with more than 100 rooms of various sizes. There is also a basement floor, which contains a library, exhibition halls, and rooms for Secret Service agents and service personnel.

The White House underwent several expansions. Initially, it consisted of only the central main building with six Roman columns on the south side, and the three halls inside were named the "Red," "Blue," and "Green" halls.

The west and east wings were added later, with the Oval Office in the west wing being the famous presidential office, frequently appearing in various television programs and news photos.

As blood spurted out, a corpse slowly fell onto a round carpet woven with a bald eagle emblem, and the blood was quickly absorbed by the thick carpet.

There are many ways to infiltrate secretly, but if you want to avoid being discovered, there are essentially two ways: one is to remain undetected by anyone, and the other is to secretly eliminate everyone who discovers you.

Jack wasn't exactly a die-hard Assassin's Creed player, but he did enjoy the older game Commandos. Unfortunately, reality isn't a game; even if he could use his amazing senses and skills to kill through every patrol, the corpses he left behind would still be tracked down.

So he tried to hide whenever possible, and if he couldn't hide, he would learn from Jackie Chan to hold his breath and hide above the corridor, waiting for the patrol team to pass before jumping down.

Jack actually already had a satellite phone, which he used to contact Rossi and the others.

However, the situation was unclear at the moment, and who knew if the other party had a mole in the Pentagon? Out of caution, he chose to keep a backup plan and kept the satellite phone as a spare.

Therefore, Jack followed Joey's instructions and made his way from the east wing, where he was originally hiding, to the oval office in the west wing. This was the core office area of ​​the White House, but it was clear that the intruders did not pay much attention to it and left only a two-person team in the outer corridor.

He originally intended to leave one alive, launch a surprise attack, snap one of their necks, and then take the other hostage into the Oval Office.

Unfortunately, the other party was not honest and tried to warn him as soon as he let go, but Jack had no choice but to slit his throat with a knife.

As the presidential office, the Oval Office undergoes a change in decor each time a new president takes office, but the general style remains largely the same.

There was a desk by the window, several chairs facing it, and two sofas and a coffee table at the other end. Flags were planted on the surrounding walls, and portraits of Lincoln and Washington hung on the walls on either side of the desk.

When Jack opened the safe behind the Lincoln portrait, successfully retrieved the satellite phone, and re-established contact with the Pentagon, Maureen and Joey had already temporarily left.

Although she is only acting president, Maureen has a lot to do, including but not limited to receiving the nuclear button, also known as the "nuclear football" in the US, and delivering a short televised address to reassure the public.

The Air Force Chief of Staff and the Chief of Naval Operations have also arrived at the Pentagon, along with a group of intelligence analysts from the CIA's international intelligence services, but no one can say for sure what's wrong with the South Korean president.

Troops stationed on the peninsula and in Japan have been placed on high alert, and the USS George Washington (CVN-73), stationed at Yokosuka Naval Base, has weighed anchor and set sail for the Sea of ​​Japan.

Maureen not only planned to summon the ambassadors of the other four permanent members of the UN Security Council, but also first made a private phone call with the leaders of the other two of the three permanent members.

Currently, the whole world is completely baffled. To avoid any misunderstandings, Seris and the Russians have urgently dispatched diplomats to the two countries on the north and south sides of the peninsula to find out exactly what happened.

After obtaining the "key item," Jack left the Oval Office and went to the second floor of the White House.

After the internal monitoring was cut off, the intruders clearly realized something was wrong. Although they could not access real-time monitoring, they retrieved previous video footage and subsequently discovered Jack's presence.

The patrol density on the first floor of the White House has been significantly increased, and Jack had to risk exposing his whereabouts by taking down a three-man patrol team.

The second floor of the White House was actually the living area of ​​the "First Family." On the first floor, there was a room on the east side facing south called the "Lincoln Bedroom," where Zoe hid.

There are many ghost stories about this bedroom, but only one is plausible: when Jacqueline Kennedy, the First Lady, renovated the Lincoln Bedroom in the Victorian style during the White House renovations.

During the renovation, a small living room that was originally located on the east side of the bedroom was removed. This room, which President Lincoln had used as a small office, became part of the partition wall, and Zoe was hiding in the mezzanine of this partition wall.
