If the number of people was greater than expected, they would need additional personnel, but it was unrealistic to ask all the county police officers on night duty to co over; it was better to seek so other support.
Jimmy: "Cage, you wait here. I'll go and scout out the situation. I'm much more agile than you."
Jimmy stood up, dusted off his pants, and walked toward the settlent.
The parking spot was only a few dozen ters from the settlent, but several rows of trees blocked the view, making it difficult to spot the police car parked by the roadside unless one was deliberately looking.
Jimmy walked straight over, with his Heart Eye Ability fully activated. The image in front of him changed from the barely lit environnt under the moonlight directly into a black-and-white screen. As he approached the campsite, Jimmy could already see inside the trailers.
This settlent had around a dozen trailers parked with three tents set up in the middle—large tents that could serve as temporary houses, not the small two-person tents used for camping.
After carefully walking around the campsite, Jimmy had a rough idea of the situation. He continued to observe the specific conditions inside the trailers and tents, which was also a way to train his Heart Eye Ability, distinguishing what objects were inside based on the black and gray lines.
After a while, Jimmy started walking back and returned to Cage's side.
Jimmy: "Cage, I walked around the campsite. Apart from the three tents where I couldn't see the interiors, I've checked all the other trailers. We can't handle this on our own; there are a total of 12 people, spread out inside five trailers and trucks.
Even if we call all the brothers on night duty, it would be tough. For safety, I didn't check their weapons just now, but I'm sure there are ard individuals inside. We need additional support."
Cage looked up at Jimmy; he was deflated, his mind seemingly unable to function.
Cage: "Jimmy, you decide. I don't know what to do."
Jimmy: "Cage, what exactly did your informant tell you?"
Cage: "The target will go to the trailer camp in the suburbs tonight to pick up the goods. It's the biggest shipnt recently. I tracked a vehicle based on the information he provided, and that vehicle entered this campsite and hasn't co out. Our position is the only exit of the campsite."
Jimmy: "Got it, let's find external support."
Jimmy reached out and took a flashlight from Cage's belt, and pulled a pen and paper from his shirt pocket.
Patrol Officers often need to verify driver information. Sotis, if the driver's license isn't present, they need to jot down nas, birthdates, addresses, etc., and go back to their vehicle to contact the dispatch center for identity verification. Pens and paper were definitely always at hand.
Jimmy drew a map of the campsite directly in Cage's notebook, detailing each trailer and truck's position, as well as the three tents.
He marked on the map how many people were in each trailer and truck and handed it to Cage, who checked the position and the number of people.
Jimmy: "Cage, how many people do you think we need to surround this campsite?"
Cage thought for a bit and drew several circles on the outskirts, also marking a few triangles next to the three tents.
Cage: "To be safe, we need at least 8 to 11 people. We need 4-5 people on the periphery, and at least 4 to control the three tents inside; better to have 6 or more. The area is a bit large, and if there are too few people on the periter, we won't be able to chase them if they try to escape inside."
Jimmy: "Let's err on the side of safety and call more people. Over 15 should be enough."
Jimmy took out his cellphone, not caring what ti it was, and called Torsten directly.
It was nearly 2 a.m., and Torsten was not working overti at the DEA today but was asleep at ho when Jimmy's call ca.
Torsten picked up the phone without opening his eyes. "Hello, who is it?"
Jimmy: "Torsten, it's , Jimmy. Are you resting at ho or working overti in the office?"
Torsten beca alert; a call from Jimmy at this ti was no trivial matter. For people like them, waking soone up in the middle of the night just to pee was definitely out of the question.
Torsten: "I'm at ho. What happened?"
Jimmy: "Tory, I rember you ntioned last ti that the office on this side of Little Rock was having so trouble, right?"
Torsten: "I never said that. Everything is normal over there."
Jimmy: "Co on, do you have your own people in the Little Rock office? I have a great opportunity here, needing about 15 people."
Torsten: "Are you sure? It's 2 a.m. now, this is no ti for jokes."
Jimmy: "Yes, I'm sure. If you don't have enough people, you could contact the ATF or another agency."
Torsten: "No need, we have enough people. Give the address, and soone will contact you shortly."
Jimmmy gave the location, then hung up the phone and smiled at Cage, "See, it's all set. That was easy."
Cage was speechless at Jimmy's move. He also had Torsten's number, but his relationship with Torsten wasn't close enough to call for support at 2 a.m. Jimmy really was a lucky charm.
As the situation turned around, Cage's spirits gradually recovered. The two sat on the ground, casually chatting and smoking, making sure to turn away from the camp to prevent the light from their cigarette butts from being noticed.
About half an hour later, Jimmy's phone rang. He had previously turned the ringtone volu down very low, otherwise, in the silent wilderness, the people at the camp would definitely have heard the phone ring.
Jimmy answered the call, walked to the roadside, and flashed his flashlight a few tis in the direction they ca from. Shortly after, three sedans and one van parked next to Jimmy. All the vehicles had their lights off, relying on the scant moonlight for the last stretch of the road.
The people from the four vehicles all got out. Thanks to his Heart Eye ability, Jimmy could clearly identify their gear. Wow, more than half were wearing Bullet-Proof Vests and carrying MP5s and M16s, and the rest also wore Bullet-Proof Vests, with pistols on them.
The leader from the first car walked up to Jimmy and shook his hand.
"Jimmy? I'm Ted, the team leader for this operation. Fill in on the situation."
Jimmy turned and waved Tory over. Tory had been keeping an eye on the group, and seeing Jimmy's signal, he walked over, handing over a notebook with diagrams that Jimmy had made.
Jimmy handed the notebook to Ted, covering the flashlight with his hand to leave just enough light shining on the notebook.
Jimmy: "This is our target for the operation. We got info from an informant that soone ca to this camp yesterday to pick up a shipnt. It's the largest haul since our last operation. We followed the courier here; they went inside and haven't co out, their vehicle is still parked in the camp."
Ted listened to Jimmy while looking at the diagrams.
Ted: "You're sure they haven't left, right?"
Jimmy: "Yes, I'm sure. We've been watching them since 11 p.m., and they definitely haven't left."
Ted: "This might be troubleso."
Jimmy: "Why? If everyone is here, can't we just round them up?"
Ted shook his head, "It's not as simple as you think. I need to make so arrangents first."
Ted turned and briefly communicated with his team. A few got in their vehicles, turned them around, and drove off, while others started dispersing towards the settlent camp. However, instead of encircling it along the trail, they seed to head directly to the back of the camp.
Ted returned to Jimmy with two others, "Jimmy, if your intel is solid, we indeed could catch so big fish this ti, but now there's a problem. We don't know if their shipnt has arrived yet."
According to your informant, the pickup person has already entered the camp but hasn't co out. That's not the dealers' usual style. The only possibility is that the delivery person hasn't arrived yet, so the pickup person has to rest at the camp, waiting for a notification from the delivery person."
You two should leave in your vehicle now. We need to stake out here."
