The Blacklist

Chapter 185: New Enemy Appears to Coerce Dembe
On the first Monday of early August, in the SER command hall that was back on track and started operating, Elizabeth brought a special case - the granddaughter of Reddington's personal bodyguard Dembe was kidnapped!
On the surface, this case does not meet the standards for the blacklist, but the special relationship between Demby and Reddington means that this case is unusual. It is very unlikely that the kidnapper would target the always low-key Demby. The target is obviously Reddington, who is the foundation of SER's existence. This is a serious problem!

While SER was studying the case, Reddington came to the SLR upstairs in the post office and asked Carrie for help.

"What's going on?" Carrie and Dembe have a good relationship, so naturally he asked with concern.

"Demby has a daughter." Reddington said, "More than a year ago, this silly girl who was only 19 years old was deceived by a scumbag in college and gave birth to a girl... I can prove that Demby was very careful. He arranged for his daughter and granddaughter to live in a hidden town in Maryland, but they were still found... Now Demby has rushed there."

According to Reddington's introduction, after Carrie learned what happened, she also remembered a person: Mastin Solomon, the operations director of the PMC (Private Military Company) that had cooperated with the secret society. This is the plot of the third season. However, the plot of the second season has been greatly changed by himself. Why did this guy show up? Continue to serve the secret society? It shouldn't be! Is there a new plot change?

"Why?" Carrie asked.

Reddington knew what he meant and said, "Although I still don't know who the kidnapper is, I think someone is looking for me."

Carrey thought about it a little more and asked, "Have you asked Fitch?"

"I asked, and he said he didn't know about it." Reddington said with a headache.

"Tell Fitch a message..." Carrie said, "Tell him that if Dembe and his daughter and granddaughter are harmed in any way, we will retaliate."

Reddington was stunned for a moment, then he understood something and immediately said, "I'll go right away!" At this time, he also thought that this matter was most likely related to someone in the secret society. Fitch might really not know about it beforehand, but if he wanted to check, he would definitely be able to find it, which was much more reliable than their blind guessing here.

Watching Lao Lei leave, Kerry took out his phone and called Dumby, but a strange voice answered the phone: "Hey! Are you looking for Dumby? Sorry, he can't answer the phone right now."

"Solomon, right? Listen to me. If Dumby and his family are harmed in any way, I will repay you a hundredfold." Carrie said coldly, "Also, tell your master that if she dares to cause trouble, I will uproot her company!" Humph! Let's see who can beat who!
Then he called Reddington's new bodyguard Felix and asked him to tell Reddington to tell him to go back to his own business after delivering the message to Fitch, and he took over Dumby's matter. This Solomon was so arrogant, he had to teach him a lesson himself!
Ten minutes later, Kerry and Gina set off, followed by Jeffrey with a combat team for support, while Abby stayed in the SLR to track Dunby's confidential cell phone and show them the way.

On the way, he recalled the plot of the third season and knew that he had changed too many things before. The situation in this world must have changed a lot. He didn't know whether it was good or bad, but he now had enough strength and trump cards to fight against hostile forces and criminal organizations. So, let's start with MPC, where Solomon is!

On the other side, Solomon, who was tall and thin and dressed in a fine suit, looked at the big phone in his hand in a daze, and said to Dembe who was sitting across the table in a playful tone: "Dembe, is this person your new boss? How come he speaks more arrogantly than Reddington!"

Denby, who was threatened by the other party for the safety of his granddaughter, had to take the initiative to deliver himself to the door. He said coldly: "You'd better listen to him. He is a guy who wants money and life!" Solomon obviously misunderstood the meaning of this sentence and said with a smile: "Oh? Do you mean he is a murderer and robber?"

Dembe was too lazy to explain to him and said directly: "Tell me, what do you want me to do in exchange for giving the child back to me?"

"You know what I want!" Solomon turned off his phone and threw it aside. "Tell me where Reddington is, and you can take the child away. Otherwise, you will never see her again!"

"Since you are tracking Reddington, you should know that when you call me away from him, he will change his behavior and I won't be able to find him." Dembe said directly.

"I know." Solomon said, "But no matter how he changes, some habits can't be changed. And you know most of the safe houses he might go to. He won't have many options. What you need to do is to judge where he is most likely to go. How about it, isn't what I said reasonable?"

Looking at his confident expression, Dembe chuckled and said, "You are very smart, but do you really think you are stronger than Reddington, who has been undefeated in the underground world for twenty years?"

"That's not something you need to worry about." Solomon stood up and took out a simple breathing mask from the side, saying, "It contains anesthetic gas, which can ensure that you will not cause trouble for me on the road. Use it yourself!"

"NO! I won't let you control me!" Dembe refused. "You know, Solomon, the phone call just now gave me enough confidence. You have offended someone you shouldn't have offended! You'd better send my granddaughter here immediately and tell me who asked you to do this, otherwise you will end up in a miserable state!" He was very confident in Carrie.

Huh? Solomon was surprised! He was a very smart man and immediately understood the meaning. Before taking action, he conducted a detailed investigation and believed that he knew Dembe, Reddington's personal bodyguard, very well. This was how he was able to find his weakness and control him. But now, he seemed to find something wrong!

Before he could say anything else, the door of the restaurant where they were was slammed open with a loud bang, and a team of fully armed soldiers rushed in, pointing their automatic rifles and submachine guns at Solomon who was standing in the hall, leaving him no time to react!
Solomon's eyes narrowed, knowing that he had made a mistake. He did not dare to move at this moment, for fear of being shot by some big-headed soldier.

Kerry walked in with Gina. Seeing that Dembe, who was sitting at a dining table, was not injured, he felt relieved. Then he looked at Solomon standing beside him and sneered, "A clown-like thing dares to jump out and cause trouble. It really has no fear of death!"

Solomon stopped being so mad and asked politely, "Who are you?"
