Chapter 218: Long Overdue (Big Chapter)(1/3)

 Mandalay Bay Hotel 32nd floor.

The room was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder, mixed with a faint smell of blood.

The gunman is dead, now the question is how to end it?

This is not Los Angeles, but Las Vegas. To be honest, Luke's identity here is a bit embarrassing.

But judging from the results, he made the right bet.

Luke suddenly breaks into the hotel room and interrupts the gunman's shooting.

Afterwards, Luke decisively shot and wounded the gunman, who had no choice but to shoot himself.

No matter from which angle you look at it, Luke is a hero in the city of Las Vegas, and his heroic action will also reap huge benefits.

Although it seems a bit snobbish, it is human nature.

Except for a very small number of people who are selfless and have compassionate thoughts, who would stop the other party at the risk of being killed when there is no benefit.

Luke took out his cell phone and made a video call with Director Red.

After a while, the video call was connected, and Rhett sat on the bedside, yawning, and holding a glass of whiskey in his hand, "Luke, aren't you supposed to be in a Las Vegas casino at this time? Why did you think of it?

Contact me."

From this tone, Rhett probably doesn't know about the Las Vegas shooting, but think about it, he is the deputy director of the Los Angeles Police Department. If Luke hadn't been at the scene of the shooting, he would have had nothing to do with this case.

Can't catch it.

"Director, I have some small problems here."

Luke walked around the room with his cell phone, taking pictures of the scene to show Red.

Rhett sat up straight, his sleepiness gone, "Where are you? Aren't you on vacation? What the hell are you doing?"

Luke said, "Director, you should turn on the TV and watch the news in Las Vegas now."

Rhett got out of bed, turned on the TV, and asked, "Stop being so pretentious, what happened?"

"I'm traveling to Las Vegas right now, and there happens to be an open-air music festival here.

Around ten o'clock in the evening, I was dancing in the square with other tourists when I suddenly heard a burst of gunfire. When I looked up, I saw flames coming from the 32nd floor of the hotel. I guessed that there might be gunmen shooting at the square.

Afterwards, many people were shot and injured in the square, resulting in heavy casualties and the scene was very chaotic.

At first, I thought it would end soon, but the gunfire lasted for a minute or two, and the gunman had no intention of stopping shooting. There were more and more injured people in the square, and the Las Vegas police never showed up.

By this time, I had locked the location of the gunman and decided to stop the suspect's massacre.

I rushed to the room where the gunman was at the first time, kicked open the door, and exchanged fire with the gunman. I wounded the gunman's arm and thigh, and the gunman committed suicide with a pistol in his left hand." Luke explained while taking pictures of the dead body.

.

"Director, this is a situation like this, what should I do?"

Rhett asked, "Are you hurt?"

"I was shot once in the chest. However, I saw a Las Vegas police officer on the 31st floor and got a body armor with steel plates from him. Apart from some chest pain, there was nothing serious.

hinder."

"You reckless bastard, I thought David was already reckless enough, but I didn't expect you to be even more fierce than him." Rhett was a bit dumbfounded.

"Where are the Las Vegas police? Why are you the only one there?"

"I only saw a Las Vegas police officer on the 31st floor. I wanted him to act with me, but he had to wait for orders from his superiors. He is probably still waiting for support."

Rhett asked, "He's waiting for support? Why did you rush in alone? Aren't you afraid of getting hurt?"

Luke is in danger, so he is naturally not afraid.

But I couldn't tell outsiders, so I found another reason, "I didn't expect that I could subdue the gunman by myself at first.

I just wanted to go to the 32nd floor to investigate and see what was going on.

If the gunman still has accomplices on the 32nd floor, I will retreat and wait for support.

As a result, I went up to the 32nd floor and found no accomplices of the gunman. I searched the entire corridor and found no one.

Before, I was observing downstairs and only saw one person shooting. I boldly guessed that the shooter might be one person.

Even if it's not one person, there won't be too many people.

Then, I found the room where the gunman was, broke in the door, and exchanged gunfire with him, and that's what happened."

Rhett said in a solemn tone, "Luke, don't be so reckless again. I will definitely criticize you when you come back."

"You are the boss. When I come back, you can criticize me as much as you want. But the question now is, what should I do?"

Rhett hesitated for a moment, "Hasn't there been any action from the Las Vegas police yet?"

"No, I guess we're probably discussing tactics downstairs."

Red reminded, "You have to be careful, don't let these bastards treat you as a gunman. It's best to find a hidden place in the room."

"You're right." Luke hid in the corner of the balcony and sat down.

When the Las Vegas police rushed in, they were unable to see the area immediately and avoided any exchange of fire or accidental injuries between the two parties.

"Director, what else do I need to do now?"

"Stay in the room, stay hidden, and don't run around to avoid being accidentally injured by the Las Vegas police.

Then call 911 and explain the situation at the scene.

I will ask Chief Frank to contact the Las Vegas Police Department and explain your situation clearly, but it will take some time to convey it through the layers.

Even so, don't take it lightly. The police officers in charge of the scene may not fully obey the orders of their superiors.

In critical moments, they can do anything, but they must be careful not to be accidentally injured."

Luke said, "I know, I have been carrying a law enforcement recorder, it should have been uploaded to the cloud."

"Very good, with this there will be no problem." Rhett warned again, "Remember, you are in Las Vegas now, not Los Angeles.

There is no shame in being a little cowardly.

Don’t have a head-on conflict with the Las Vegas police. Even if they want to search you and temporarily detain you for examination, you are not allowed to resist, do you understand?”

"I remember." Although Luke was a little unhappy, he also knew that Red was doing it for his own good.

"Finally, I have one more thing to say.

Well done!" Rhett said and hung up the phone.

Luke smiled and dialed 911.

After the phone was connected, a woman's voice rang, "This is the 911 police station."

"I am now at the Mandalay Bay Hotel. A shooting occurred here, and hundreds of people were killed and injured at the scene..."

Before Luke could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the police officer who responded, "I know, we have received hundreds of calls, and the police and ambulance have arrived at the scene.

All you have to do now is protect yourself."

Subsequently, the phone was hung up.

"Dudu..."

Luke looked confused, I haven't finished speaking yet, I...

Luke was also speechless.

After a while, Luke called 911 again.

But I couldn't get through and the line was always busy.

Luke became even more depressed.

"Ding ding ding..." His cell phone rang.

Luke looked down and saw it was his mother calling.

"Hey, mom."

"Damn it, thank God you finally answered the phone.

I saw on the news that there was a shooting in Las Vegas, are you in any danger?"

Luke smiled, "Mom, I'm a policeman. I've never seen anything happen. Don't worry, it's okay."

Linda was obviously relieved, "I saw on the news that the gunman shot and injured hundreds of people. It's really scary. Just hope you're okay."

"Everything is fine here with me, how are you and the little fat man?"

"It's very good here. When will you come back?"

"Maybe it will be the day after tomorrow."

"It's better to come back early. I know you are a policeman, but the situation this time is too dangerous. Hundreds of people have been shot and injured. The gunman doesn't care whether you are a policeman or not."

Luke didn't explain any more and agreed, "You're right, I will return to Los Angeles as soon as possible."

Luke glanced at his phone and said, "Mom, grandpa also called. I'll answer it first."

Luke pressed the answer button and said straight to the point, "Grandpa, everything is fine with me in Las Vegas. You don't have to worry."

Robert smiled, "I'm not worried. You are a policeman. I know you can take care of yourself. Are you having fun over there?"

"Yes."

"That's good. I guess your mother will be worried when she sees the news, so she'd better come back early."

"I see."

Val smiled on the other side of the phone and said, "Remember to bring me a gift when you come back."

"no problem."

Luke hung up the phone and Xiao Hei's call came in again.

"Hey man, how's it going in Vegas? You're not hurt?"
