A certain dog grinned at the corners of his mouth and turned his head to look at the scenery outside the car.
Luke then dialed Selena's number and told her the general situation.
Selena: "No problem, I will help you deal with things here, just be careful yourself."
Luke: "The gold nugget is with me, you..."
Selena didn't take it seriously: "It's okay, that guy is very powerful, as long as he can help you."
Luke just hummed and hung up the phone.
Between him and Selena, there is no need to say thank you for this kind of thing.
In less than 20 minutes, he arrived at a private airport in the suburbs. Luke, who had concealed his appearance, only reported Ginny's name, and was welcomed onto the plane by the flight attendant on standby.
Luke was not in the mood to match this beautiful empty passenger, he simply said thank you, and then said: "It's time to take off, I'm in a hurry."
The flight attendants don't talk nonsense, there are not many people who do this kind of emergency flight at night and are not in a hurry.
Although Luke is not her employer, her employer is powerful, and the people who can borrow this plane are not ordinary people.
Luke got on the plane, took out his notebook and checked the information.
Of course Luke knew about Robert and Catherine's travel plan, but he didn't study it carefully. Now he took it out and found the location of the cruise ship, and he frowned.
This is a cruise ship bound for Europe from New York, and the current location is the same as what Robert said, not relying on anywhere.
Cruise ships are hundreds of kilometers away from the nearest land, and New York used to be close to 1,000 kilometers away.
In connection with the situation that Robert said, the group of people probably came prepared, and Luke felt that the situation was worrying.
Call the police or something.
In such a major case of kidnapping thousands of people on a cruise ship, the police's first choice is to negotiate with the robbers.
It is likely to be more than ten hours later when a professional team is actually dispatched to carry out the rescue operation by force.
How many tourists died in the rescue operation is just a matter of numbers for the police.
As long as no important person died, it didn't matter who the victim was.
Luke only wanted to ensure the safety of Robert and Catherine, and the safety of other tourists was not a problem he could solve, and he couldn't take care of thousands of tourists.
The business plane was traveling eastward, and Luke checked the information Robert sent from the satellite phone from time to time.
The situation is neither good nor bad.
The gangsters on the cruise ship seemed to have a clear goal, and instead of killing the tourists, they gathered them in batches and locations, as if they were looking for someone.
But as the tourists were driven to several places of detention, Robert and Catherine had less room for maneuver.
The number of these gangsters has exceeded two hundred, with a clear division of labor and a meticulous and professional plan.
They mobilized and cleaned up the cruise ship layer by layer, and cleared all the tourists out.
Robert didn't dare to move his hands at all.
These gangsters all have walkie-talkies, and they all operate in groups, reporting to safety regularly.
If he moved one, he would be discovered in less than ten minutes, and a group of gangsters would be searching for him at that time.
At the same time, various points of the cruise ship were also blocked by gangsters.
If Robert is alone, this blockade is equivalent to nothing.
But with Catherine, he was not sure about hiding back to the place cleaned up by the bandits.
Fortunately, the cruise ship is very large, and the gangsters are not impatient, and the blanket search operation is also time-consuming.
Luke counted the time silently in his heart, still a little anxious.
In the best case, he arrives first.
That way he is absolutely sure to guarantee Catherine's safety.
There is no need to worry about Robert's safety, and this guy is not an ordinary person.
Therefore, in the worst case, Robert and Catherine will also be searched out. Luke only hopes that Robert will not be impulsive at that time.
But the business plane had only flown for three hours, and there was bad news from Robert: the police had already got the news that the cruise ship had been hijacked.
Apparently, Robert wasn't the only one on the cruise with a satellite phone.
This made the gangsters act impatiently, and their methods were much more brutal. The first unlucky guy who was shot also appeared.
It was a policeman who was traveling with his wife. When his wife was pushed and shoved by the gangsters, he was excited and had a fight with the gangsters. Some of the gangsters shot.
Luke frowned.
He is afraid of this situation.
Bandits in a relaxed state will be less vigilant to the outside world, and their actions will not be too impatient in an environment like a cruise ship.
But with the threat of the police, it is bound to cause a chain reaction.
Moreover, the bandits had already shot and injured people, so they naturally didn't care about shooting and injuring the next rebel.
Finally, at midnight in New York, Luke hurriedly got off the business jet, turned around and boarded another small plane at the private airport.
The pilot was a bearded man. He started the plane and set off after hearing Luke report an order number and the coordinates of the destination.
The pilot didn't care what the client, who was so dark that he couldn't even see his face, was going deep into the sea in the middle of the night.
Who made this customer pay ten times the price for the usual tasks
For this windfall, the pilot doesn't mind taking a small risk.
He is not a law-abiding citizen, and this plane has also been modified privately. It is absolutely illegal to use it to solicit customers, but it flies faster than ordinary small planes, and it is also farther than ordinary small planes.
A round-trip flight of nearly 2,000 kilometers is not something that can be accomplished by a normal small plane, and this guest will also parachute halfway, which is extremely rare.
But what about that? Anyway, people gave money.
In the vast night, the small plane climbed rapidly, leaving the brightly lit metropolis of New York behind.
Luke looked at the speed of this guy and asked, "How many hours will it take to reach the destination?"
Beard: "Within three hours."
Luke looked at his watch again, it was ten past twelve.
After pondering for a moment, he asked, "How soon can I arrive without compromising safety?"
He really thought that this small plane could fly at the speed of a rocket, but unfortunately he was afraid that it would disintegrate in the air and fall freely.
The bearded man was silent for a moment: "If you want to advance, you need to add money."
Luke: "Yes."
The bearded man: "I can assure you that I will arrive within two and a half hours. How much can you add?"
Luke: "Two hundred thousand."
The bearded man turned his head and glanced at him: "Checks are not accepted."
Luke casually took out a few times in his backpack, pulled out a black bag, and threw it beside the bearded man: "The timer starts, and if you don't arrive at the scheduled place at 2:40, you won't get any money."
The bearded man didn't care at all, he just reached out with one hand, quickly checked the two stacks of banknotes, and then stuffed the bag into a space under the seat: "As long as you have money."
As he spoke, he pressed his hand on the instrument panel a few times, and the speed of the small plane suddenly increased.
Luke completely understood the behavior of the bearded pilot.
If you're not someone who wants money, why would you dare to take private work in the middle of the night and fly a thousand kilometers overseas.
People who don't come here for money, why can they turn a blind eye to customers who want to skydive halfway.
