Chapter 1488 - 800: Kidnapping
The incident happened suddenly, and Jimmy reflexively shouted out his identity, but regretted it immediately after. He wasn't here to handle this case; he was just temporarily filling in for Steven for a day. It was a mess.
Helplessly, Jimmy first frisked the two individuals. Each had a gun, and one also had a switchblade knife. He threw them all onto the nearby lawn and then took out the handcuffs hanging on his belt.
No mistake, even if he was just visiting Hank, he was still fully equipped, and this time he had all his surveillance equipment clipped onto his belt.
One pair of handcuffs for two people, each cuffing one of their hands, making them lie on the ground together. Only then did Jimmy take out his phone and dial 911, directly reporting his identity and requesting a patrol police car to come over, stating there were two suspects who attacked a Federation agent.
Jimmy glanced at the street. The car that had been near Jesse Pinkman's house earlier now only had its taillights visible—it had driven away quickly. The person inside the house, who was making a call earlier, was standing now with his hand away from his ear, indicating he was no longer on the phone.
However, he couldn't deal with the individuals at these two surveillance points, as there was no reason or way to suggest they were problematic. Any allegations against these surveillance points would be inappropriate.
The patrol police car arrived quickly. An FBI agent being attacked on the street is a big deal and rare as well, but the officers were somewhat surprised to see Jimmy—a Chinese FBI agent is uncommon, and the New Mexico FBI office isn't a large office, so there aren't many Chinese agents.
However, after confirming he was from New York State and was just visiting injured friends in Albuquerque, the two patrol officers exchanged glances, showing a smile that was hard to describe. This guy is really unlucky, only here for two days and encountering such a situation.
Jimmy had already called Miguel and waited for him to pick him up and follow the police car to the station.
Considering that those behind the two individuals now definitely know they've been caught and will try to gather information, taking them to the DEA Chief's office or FBI office would let them know that DEA is onto Jesse Pinkman, so taking them to the police station for interrogation is better. At least there, they'll only know they attacked an FBI agent and not a local one, which keeps them at bay.
Upon reaching the station, the two were registered and their information entered. The fingerprint results clearly showed these scumbags had quite a few criminal records. The detective arranging the interrogation shrugged at Jimmy, saying, "You're unlucky, just standing by the roadside smoking, and they targeted you. Maybe they were just trying to rob you. Let's go and ask them together."
While walking to the interrogation room, Jimmy inquired with the detective about the individuals' background and which gang they belonged to. When the detective received their files, it became clear they were just common street thugs and not affiliated with any major gangs.
Indeed, the two hard-headed individuals were impossible to communicate with effectively. They initially claimed they were just passing by and Jimmy attacked them, then after the detective confirmed Jimmy's identity, they said Jimmy was a racist who disliked them, insisting on being difficult.
Jimmy told the detective, "They're all yours," and left the interrogation room directly; continuing was pointless. These thugs were too familiar with the police station, and ultimately it would just be attempted robbery charges. He couldn't afford to wait here for months; it was better to leave.
Earlier, the person in the surveillance car was Black, the two attackers were Black, and the assailants of Hank were two Mexican assassins. If they were from the same organization, then the composition of this team was intriguing.
The gang is an interesting ecosystem. Many well-known gangs are actually hotbeds for racists, like the Mafia, Jewish gangs, Latin America's MS13, predominantly White Hell's Angels, Mexican Florence 13, Limp Gang and Blood Gang, Latin Kings, etc. Most of these gangs consist of people with the same skin color or ethnicity, yet now they face this unknown gang with Black and Mexican assassins, which is fascinating. Either they're a ragtag gang or a large conglomerate.
To know only two real surveillance points were deployed just to monitor or protect Jesse, and within minutes two people were dispatched to attack him, it indicates they have abundant manpower and tight-lipped members. Such capability is unlikely for a ragtag gang.
Jimmy called Miguel to leave the police station, asking him to drive him back near Jesse's place, and then called the DEA office people to investigate whether there was a major gang in Albuquerque composed of Black and Latinos.
The unfamiliar city made Jimmy's investigation somewhat unnecessarily troublesome. In New York, he has ways to obtain less confidential information. But here, apart from DEA where he can look up some information, he has no other means to gather clues and can only take one step at a time.
This time, Jimmy and his team didn't approach Jesse's house. Jimmy already knew there was a surveillance point in the house opposite, so they had to stay out of sight from others. They merely observed from afar.
Actually, Jimmy only knew Jesse's house was full of people lying horizontally and vertically—on the ground, sofa, and bed. Clearly, they had a fun night last night, but he wasn't sure if Jesse was in the house. It would be best to get close and scout, but with a surveillance point across the street, reconnaissance would be exposed, and then Jesse wouldn't meet with other key individuals.
