North America Gunman Detective

Chapter 1525 818: Aftermath (Part 2)

Jimmy shrugged: "I'm not a murder maniac, only those holding guns end up dead."

Gus: "Well, congratulations, you've solved Agent Hank's case. The last member of the Salamanca Family besides Hector is also here, and I think he's finished."

Jimmy: "Really? Let me think, maybe it's better if you personally talk to Hank."

Jimmy looked around, "Someone will come to take you away soon, I hope you can keep it a secret, right?"

Gus: "Yes, I'll keep it a secret, what happens here has nothing to do with you."

Jimmy: "Smart move, I'm starting to like you. Old Mike, keep your mouth shut. Now, go back to your room and wait."

Jimmy led the two back to their room on the second floor, "Have a good night." With that, he closed the door.

Jimmy was about to leave when he suddenly realized he missed someone, he opened the door again, and Gus and Mike stood up once more, "Is there anything else?"

Jimmy: "Yeah, I forgot someone, that kid, Jesse Pinkman, where is he?"

Gus: "I'm not quite sure, maybe in Eladio's drug lab, maybe already dead. We were confined when we got here, without any contact with the outside world."

Jimmy: "Where's that lab?"

Gus: "I can show you the way, but I can't describe the coordinates."

Jimmy thought for a moment: "Is it far?"

Gus: "It'll take some time."

Jimmy: "We'll talk about it later, get some rest."

There was nobody else here, Jimmy had previously told the servants and women to leave, they didn't resist, just fled in panic. The door had already been opened by someone, after all, the lock was still the original one, and the key was on the security guard, those people easily got it and opened the door.

After a while, Jimmy's phone rang, Alejandro drove near the estate, Jimmy confirmed it was safe before he drove straight into the estate and saw Jimmy sitting on the sofa smoking in the ground floor hall.

Jimmy: "You're really slow in coming."

Alejandro: "Be content, I was supposed to come with my folks, now they're still on their way, I had to go back, drive, long roundtrip distance. Finished?"

Jimmy: "Yeah, leave it to you here, make sure to clean it up properly. And, there are two people upstairs, I need you to send them back to Albuquerque for DEA investigation, can you do that? If not, I'll have to take action now."

Alejandro looked up toward the second floor, of course, it was just a reflexive action, he couldn't see the two people's position, "Important?"

Jimmy: "Yeah, the big boss of the cartel and his trusted aide."

Alejandro: "You're working for the DEA?"

Jimmy nodded: "Oh, by the way, you're taking over here, I need to bring one of them to their other base. There's another target of mine there; maybe still alive, I'll bring them back together. So you'll have to send three people over."

Alejandro nodded, "No problem, I'll figure it out."

Jimmy got up, took Alejandro to the second floor, and opened Gus's room: "Gus, come with me."

Gus nodded at Mike, followed Jimmy away, expressionless, but not acting rashly.

Alejandro glanced at Old Mike, checked the window, then closed the door again.

The lab wasn't too far, Gus drove Alejandro's car, Jimmy sat in the back seat, holding his pistol directly in hand, while the submachine gun was left in Eladio's estate, with no bullets left, Alejandro would surely handle it.

Silent all the way, Gus drove while observing Jimmy from the rearview mirror, he'd studied Jimmy's dossier before, but experiencing it firsthand was more shocking, he'd left a coordinate with Jimmy before just to give Eladio trouble if anything happened to him, for official action against him only. Who'd thought Jimmy would charge into Eladio's lair alone, and amidst the attack from dozens of cartel members, slaughter the entire estate, too brutal.

Even though Jimmy wore a mask all along, his face unclear, Gus still felt chills all over his body. That's why he remained very cooperative all along, people like this weren't to be messed with, especially when his identity was quite special.

As they approached the lab, Gus finally spoke: "I was just thinking, maybe I should pay you upfront as an exchange for letting us live."

Jimmy looked at Gus, still unsure of his intentions. Gus continued: "Don't misunderstand, I'll return to handle the investigation. I think there should be a resolution between us, thereafter we won't have any more ties."

Jimmy: "Are we there?"

Gus looked up into the rearview mirror as the car turned to a stop in front of a warehouse.

Gus opened the car door, and got out with Jimmy, he walked ahead, straightened his clothes at the warehouse door, then knocked on it, Jimmy stood aside, inside, there were still a few people busy working.

Inside people heard someone knocking, walked over, opened the small window to see Gus, was taken aback. Gus spoke in Spanish to say Eladio sent him, the person saw Gus a few days ago, knows they were taken away by Eladio, since he's back, either got Eladio's permission, or something went wrong there.

"Bang," the small window closed, he pulled out the handgun from his back and opened the door, the creaking sound arose, the door hinge hadn't been fixed in a long time; though there was no hindrance in opening or closing, the sound was still loud.

Gus was about to step in, Jimmy fired directly at the person opening the door, "Bang!" startling Gus, Jimmy rushed directly in, firing several shots at the silhouettes he saw, killing two plainclothes gang members and three lab staff in white coats.

"No, think about the consequences."

Jimmy turned to look at Gus standing by the person at the door, the gun had fallen to the ground by Gus's foot.

Gus didn't stay any longer, stepped into the lab, looked around, and continued searching through the lab.

Jimmy has quick reflexes, these people weren't his target Jesse Pinkman, so he didn't hesitate when shooting, a person in a room inside had just been lying on the bed, upon hearing the gunshots immediately sat up, then hid by the bedside.

Gus opened the door, glanced inside, and nodded at Jimmy.

Jesse was still puzzled, Gus turned around, searched a few people's bodies, found several keys, returned to the small room to unlock Jesse's shackles, he'd been wearing leg irons, the chain was locked to an iron ring on the wall, not long, but there's some room for movement.

Jimmy watched them work, Gus whispered something in Jesse's ear and then Jesse left the room to look at Jimmy, already filled with fear in his eyes.

Jimmy noted the warehouse's coordinates, Gus drove, Jesse sat in the passenger seat, Jimmy sat in the back again, the three returned to Eladio's estate.

Several of Alejandro's men had already arrived, Jimmy took Gus and Jesse back to the room, Gus wrote something on a note and handed it to Jimmy, Jimmy nodded, greeted Alejandro and the others, and left the estate, driving through the night back to the previous tunnel location.

Old George told him earlier that he'd be waiting ten minutes at the exit the next afternoon, but things got handled quickly this time, Jimmy didn't think about finding a hotel in Mexico for rest, simply entered the tunnel ahead to wait.
