Jimmy nodded in agreement, "I'll wait for you in the parking lot."

Agent Lars turned and left, arranging for others to conduct the interrogation. Jimmy waited for Agent Lars in the parking lot, and she brought two agents along with her. The group of four left the FBI office.

On the way, Lars dialed Jimmy, "Jimmy, do we need to call in the SRT team? We might be heading to their lair."

Jimmy: "No need, I can handle it."

Michael only revealed the location after Jimmy punched him twice in the stomach, but he didn't know where Julia and Kelly were taken, only revealing his superior's location.

This is a kidnapping gang that specializes in fulfilling special requests. They cater to clients' requirements by providing specified types of people, usually kidnapping from various places, then using underworld connections or transporting them to designated locations themselves.

Since they don't frequently commit crimes in one place, and have separate individuals responsible for specific steps, they avoid getting tied back to themselves. Over the years, no one has traced any leads to them.

Given that the United States reports 80,000 to 100,000 missing persons each year, the probability of someone discovering their relatives are missing and successfully tracing it back is low. Another significant reason is that a substantial portion of families in the United States are very complicated, with numerous cases where children have not returned home for years or even decades after leaving. Families are unaware when they go missing.

The person who came up with such a business is really a talent; Jimmy was stunned when he heard Michael describe the situation. Who would think of using such a team to kidnap the people they needed? The scenarios the kidnapped might face later are almost imaginable. This is also why Jimmy planned to act directly without waiting for Lars to complete the interrogation process.

Julia got caught up unexpectedly. Michael and the others found the blonde beauty Kelly, catering to their client's demands, in a bar. Michael then contacted Kelly, indirectly understanding some situations, but since Julia was with Kelly, and Julia herself was quite attractive too, they were temporarily added to the target list and kidnapped together.

Michael initially intended to deny it, but upon learning Julia's identity, he was also stunned. For an ordinary company employee, if someone went missing, the most the company and family would do is report it. Now that they've kidnapped a current FBI agent, it genuinely spells trouble. The FBI will follow every lead they have, and handle them swiftly and harshly. He didn't want to die, so he confessed everything he knew.

Michael himself is relatively handsome. When he first came into contact with this team, he successfully utilized his looks to become the bait in the team. He used his appearance to approach potential targets, gathered their information, and after confirming it's feasible to act, informed the kidnapping team to abduct them at designated locations. As for where the kidnapped would be sent, he wasn't aware, only receiving his reward from his superiors after the operation.

Kelly and Julia had already drunk quite a bit at the bar. After leaving the bar, Kelly was suddenly attacked and kidnapped from the roadside, with Michael assisting her. Without resistance, they were captured. Julia resisted a bit, but her reaction was impaired from drinking. Combined with the fact that her opponents were strong men, she was captured and shoved into the car. Shortly following this, her phone was tossed into a trash bin at the next intersection to prevent tracking. This displayed decent safety awareness in the criminal world.

After kidnapping Kelly, Michael got off at an intersection and left, not participating in the following activities.

The location he provided now is his superior "Venus flytrap"'s temporary stronghold, and his code name in the team is "Poppy", denoting he's the bait, and "Venus flytrap" is responsible for capturing, which clearly delineates responsibilities.

Almost everyone in the team uses plant names as their code names. Their leader's code name is "King Protea", but he hasn't seen him.

This is all the known information. After all, Michael is just the bait for external dealings, his exposure to industry insiders is quite limited, and Jimmy wasn't interested in wasting time interrogating further. Now with a target in focus, he needed to act quickly.

Julia has been kidnapped for close to 20 hours. If they act swiftly enough, they could now be transported out of New York, heading to their destination. They must quickly resolve everything.

At the south end of Brooklyn in Gravesend, Jimmy and his group's target was here. The place where Michael went to receive money was a gym club, and his superior, Venus flytrap, worked as a gym coach at this club. It was a very good hiding location because strangers could enter a gym club at any time, and the turnover of gym coaches was normal. As long as they meet requirements, they could work for a few months and leave without anyone investigating. It was well-suited as a covert location for them.

Jimmy and Lars arrived outside the club. After getting out of the car, Jimmy instructed Lars' subordinates to wait outside, and he went in with Lars. After greeting the front desk, they pretended to be a couple inspecting the gym club's equipment to decide whether to get a long-term membership there. With the service staff's company, they toured the club.

Jimmy and Lars' goal was to find the superior Venus flytrap Michael talked about, a strong Caucasian with medium-long hair usually tied at the back, convenient for working. He also had a tattoo of green leaves on his arm, which was the most definite clue.

Finally, beside the boxing ring in the back, Jimmy and Lars saw someone matching the description. He was talking with a man in casual wear by the wall. As Jimmy and Lars headed towards him, Venus flytrap and the man started moving towards the nearby locker room.

With the service staff accompanying and introducing the club's features, Jimmy and Lars' disguise was still undiscovered. Jimmy asked to see the locker room, and the service personnel confirmed there were no naked men inside before allowing them in.

The locker room was quite large. Upon seeing people enter, Venus flytrap merely glanced and then continued without concern. He took a small bag from the locker and handed it to the man in casual wear. Just as he was about to close the locker, Jimmy dashed forward, simultaneously drawing his Glock from under his jacket, "FBI, don't move." Jimmy's move was the signal, and Agent Lars also drew his weapon targeting the service staff, "Hands up, don't move."

In the service personnel's scream, Jimmy and Lars' cooperation commenced seamlessly.

Venus flytrap reacted quickly. Hearing Jimmy's shout, he immediately turned around, raised his fist to confront Jimmy. The man in casual wear decisively dashed towards the locker room door.

Since Venus flytrap was unarmed, Jimmy couldn't preemptively shoot, but even in close combat, he wasn't afraid. After battling the possessed Bennett Priest before, his hand-to-hand combat skills had improved significantly, facing a gym coach, or rather a strong gym coach posed no problem.

Blocking Venus flytrap's incoming punch, Jimmy swung his right hand and hit Venus flytrap's arm with the gun's grip, followed by grabbing his wrist and performing a shoulder throw, slamming Venus flytrap heavily onto the ground.

"Don't move." Jimmy twisted Venus flytrap's arm, kneeling on his back, pressing the gun muzzle against his head.

Venus flytrap, first slammed, then seeing the gun on his head, ceased to struggle.

"Venus flytrap, you're under arrest." Jimmy turned Venus flytrap face-down, holstered his Glock, and took out handcuffs from his back waist, cuffing him.

The man in casual wear didn't escape either. As he rushed towards the locker room door, Agent Lars also took action. All FBI agents are trained rigorously in hand-to-hand combat, and Agent Lars consistently worked in field operations, not stuck at desk jobs, naturally retaining his hand-to-hand combat skills.

With just a few moves, Lars kicked the man in casual wear on the leg, causing him to dive headfirst onto the ground, dropping the bag he was holding.

The service personnel's screaming finally stopped when Agent Lars redirected his aim to her, the situation was completely under control.
