The Blacklist

Chapter 34 Kill the Poisoner and Save Everyone
At 2:30 in the afternoon, Elizabeth received a call from Reddington, saying that Barnes was currently in Arlington County, Virginia, across the Potomac River west of Washington, and gave her his cell phone number.

Donald led the team immediately. The situation was urgent, so they called in two transport helicopters. Aram stayed at the post office to locate Barnes's cell phone, and Cooper notified all emergency teams to stand by.
As the two helicopters flew over the Potomac River, Aram informed them that Barnes' cell phone signal had reached the parking lot of the Arlington District Court!
Everyone on the helicopter immediately realized that Barnes was going to launch a second attack, targeting the court.

A few minutes later, two helicopters arrived next to the courthouse and five agents rushed into the courthouse building...

Donald was about to press the alarm in the building but was stopped by Carrie. He then realized that once the alarm sounded, on the one hand, it would alert Barnes and launch an attack in advance, and on the other hand, the chaos caused by the evacuation of personnel would help him escape.

Donald and Mira searched the first floor, the other three went to the second floor, and Carrie asked Elizabeth and Gina to go up the stairs on the left, while she went up the right.

Carrie rushed upstairs at a very fast speed. At the same time, he was reminded by the environment inside the building. He remembered that in the plot, Barnes put down the box in Courtroom No. 6 on the second floor, where the 33rd group of juries were being selected...

In order not to cause panic or alarm Barnes, Carrie walked quickly but kept his upper body still. People passing by just thought that this person was walking too fast and did not notice anything unusual.

Number 8, number 7, number 6! Kerry came to the door and saw that it was not locked. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief and pushed the door open and walked in...

There were already quite a few people sitting in the gallery of Courtroom No. 6, all waiting to be selected as jurors. A tall white man was standing in front of the bailiff's desk. Carrie immediately noticed the silver-gray aluminum briefcase on the ground next to his right foot and his eyes narrowed - I finally caught you!

I don’t know if it was because of something, but when Carrie paused after entering the room, the white man standing in front of the bailiff turned around and looked over. It was Barnes!

Carrey immediately drew his gun and shouted, "FBI! Barnes, put your hands up!"

Barnes looked at him, without saying anything or raising his hand. He just shook his head in disappointment, then suddenly reached into his pocket...

"Bang, bang!" Carrie fired without hesitation, one shot at the head and one at the right hand, knocking him to the ground!
As soon as the gunshots rang out, the courtroom was immediately filled with screams and chaos...

Carrie immediately took out his FBI ID and held it high above his head, shouting, "Everyone calm down, I'm an FBI agent, and the person I just shot was a wanted criminal... Marshals, arrange for everyone to evacuate in an orderly manner, don't panic!"

"Yes, Sir." The bailiff was obviously frightened. He was awakened at this time and immediately agreed. Then he ran to the door and organized the evacuation of the people in the court...

Kaikai took two steps forward to protect the suitcase and Barnes' body on the ground, and he did not put away his pistol to prevent any accidents.

Soon, Elizabeth and Gina rushed in, followed by Donald and Mira. They were relieved when they saw Barnes being shot dead and the suitcase next to him. At this time, the captain of the court's bailiffs came with a team of bailiffs. Donald and others immediately showed their credentials and asked them to immediately organize everyone in the court to evacuate the building. Mira called the CDC, Elizabeth reported to Cooper, and Gina stepped forward to guard the suitcase with Carrie...

Soon, after the arrival of biological and chemical forces from the CDC and DHS, Kerry, Donald and others finally evacuated.

Forty minutes later, the suitcase was sealed and loaded into a truck and taken away. The head of the DHS biochemical unit came out with a small remote control and said to the SER team, "You did a great job. You shot that guy right away. If you were a little later, when he pressed the remote control in his pocket, the poison gas would be released immediately, and no one in the courtroom would survive!"

Everyone looked at Carrie who was smoking nearby and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

On the way back to the post office, Carrie checked the system display: "Host killed Barnes, saving a large number of lives, rewarded with 3.2 crime-killing points, recovered 1350 million criminal funds, and rewarded 3 life red bottles for emergency treatment of serious injuries."

Wow! Compared to the crime-killing value, Kerry was very surprised by the new red bottle of life. Saving people is indeed more rewarding than killing people! In addition, the crime-killing value has now accumulated to 15.9, and he is ready to spend more in the evening.

When they returned to the post office, they were warmly welcomed by Cooper and others. Afterwards, agencies such as DHS (Department of Homeland Security), DOJ (Department of Justice) and FBI Headquarters all called to congratulate them - this achievement was really too dazzling. A biological and chemical attack occurred in the subway in the morning, and the case was solved and the murderer was killed in the afternoon. The efficiency was the best among all law enforcement agencies!

The happiest person was Cooper. The Attorney General made it clear on the phone that he had reported and communicated with the President in person, upgraded the administrative level of the SER team, granted it higher law enforcement authority, guaranteed funding and establishment, and asked Cooper to lead the agency well and strive to make new contributions.

At the celebratory dinner that followed, Cooper announced that all members of the SER team who participated in the operation would have their funds doubled this month, which caused everyone to cheer. For Kerry now, a few thousand dollars more was nothing, but for ordinary staff, it was very important, and everyone was very grateful for the efforts of several key agents.

Donald and others naturally expressed very modestly that these were the result of everyone's joint efforts. The agents and action team members at the forefront could not have done without the support of the service personnel. Everyone has contributed to the achievements of the SER team.

During this time, Carrie received a phone call and left early with Gina, and no one took it seriously.
-
Not long after leaving the post office, Carrie got out of the car early and asked Gina to drive home first. He got into an ordinary car on the side of the road and was taken by Dumby to an old warehouse area in the northwest district.

Dembe led him to a deep warehouse where hundreds of wooden boxes of various sizes were piled up, and told him that these were all kinds of new firearms that Mr. Reddington had found for him.

Kerry was shocked and asked, "So much! Dembe, how much does it cost?"

"Mr. Reddington said that he promised to give you these." Dumby handed him the key to the warehouse. "You can use this warehouse with confidence. The owner of the property is our own. Oh, by the way, the car outside the door is for you to use. I'm leaving first."

Taking the key, Carrie nodded and said, "Demby, tell Reddington that he doesn't have to pay back the 800 million. Consider it a gift from me!" You are generous, and so am I!
