Bert took the small memory card and frowned slightly. He broke the card with a little force with his fingertips and threw it into the trash can without looking at it. His series of movements made people feel nervous.
When he looked up again, his deep eyes were cold and aggressive. Instead of answering the captain's question, he asked him, "How are you going to deal with Owen?"
During his younger days, he encountered the police on numerous occasions and had a general idea of their next moves. He spoke slowly, "Lock down the target and location, deploy the team, surround the suspect inside and out. Attempt negotiation and communication, but if that fails, opt for a forceful approach?"
The captain was stunned by his words, and he could hear the contempt in his voice. He couldn't help but be a little angry. "I can understand your current mentality, Mr. Harper, but we will be very cautious with our plans every time we take action, so..."
"What if Owen is by Alivia's side? what if a forceful approach causes irreversible harm to personnel?" Bert's thin lips moved, and every word was like ice.
He didn't care about Owen's life or the lives of those accomplices around him. The only thing he valued was Alivia.
The atmosphere in the office was tense. Huston looked up from the display screen, about to say something to dissuade them, but suddenly heard Bert say, "I remember Owen has a daughter who is in junior high school, right?"
...
The police acted swiftly, but the people on Owen's side had not noticed anything. It had been over two hours since the kidnapping of Alivia, and they were completely unaware of the police's actions, anxiously waiting for Bert to contact them.
Alivia had been locked up in that small room. They didn't do anything to her. They just locked her up like this and didn't give her any water or food.
