Agent Derek, as a member of this team, is having a hard time putting up with Dominica Skye's arbitrariness and arrogance. They've lost their lead, and now all they have to do is report it, and Dominica wants to save the situation on his own.
It's ridiculous.
Derek even wondered if Dominica was Caspar Phoenix's inside man.
But Dominica is superior in rank, so Derek has to choose to secretly pass the message to Vincent, the supervisor.
Half an hour later, Dominica, who was pressing the intelligence service, received a call from Vincent, the director.
His face stiffened slightly, and he answered the phone casually." Hello, Vincent."
Derek and the other agents looked at each other and raised their eyebrows.
" Yes…but…give me half a day, Vincent, we'll find new clues…"
Although no one else knew exactly what Vincent, the supervisor, had said on the other end of the phone, everyone guessed from the vague growl and Dominica's suddenly ashen face that he had been criticized.
Vincent, the supervisor on the other end of the phone, took a deep breath and calmed down slightly.
As an experienced agent, he quickly thought of a way based on the clues he already had.
"You guys come back first. I don't need you guys for the time being."
He hung up the phone.
The director of the FBI strongly protested the release of the arrest warrant for Caspar Phoenix, arguing that it was inconsistent with FBI procedures to convict him without a thorough investigation.
To be honest, in China, the CIA's authority is not as great as that of the FBI.
But the CIA is best at covert planning.
Phoenix's treason is questionable, but they could have edited the video of Phoenix threatening the Asian woman at the casino, after all, it was conclusive evidence.
They then secretly manipulate public opinion, triggering hot discussions and attention on the Internet. Combined with the screening of the 'system', they can easily obtain clues from each other.
Even the Heavenly Network was nothing more than this.
Meanwhile, Agent Daniel followed Agent Mahoney's lead and turned the car around and headed back to Las Vegas.
At a gas station, Agent Mahoney pulled out a map of the western United States and unfolded it in front of the car, pointing to Agent Daniel next to him, pointing to San Diego, California, and Tijuana, Mexico's border city.
This is the border city between the United States and Mexico, and it's also where Phoenix earned his former Distinguished Agent status for the past five years because of his undercover status.
" So…Agent Mahoney, do you think he won't go to Langley, but to Southern California, to the border?"
Mahoney looked at the location on the map, his eyes deep and entranced.
The reason he cared so much about Caspar Phoenix was because he had also been undercover in Southern California.
But unlike Phoenix's successful ending, Mahoney almost died when he was spotted by scheming gang members and suddenly shot in the back at the moment he was about to complete his mission.
Even now, Mahoney's shoulder blades ache on rainy days.
To avoid being chased, he stayed in the safe house for a whole month. It was a depressed day that he would never forget. He thought he could go back to his work, but he suddenly transferred from Southern California to other places to do some useless work.
And then he became depressed.
Agent Mahoney firmly believes that this mission to capture Caspar Phoenix is an opportunity.
The opportunity to prove himself to everyone was also the opportunity for him to get rid of that shadow.
Almost at the same time, the BAU at Quantico, after reanalyzing the voluminous reports and transcripts submitted by Caspar Phoenix, released a new profile, even though the agency had ignored the possibility of a perverse response.
But the destination indicated by the profile coincides with Mahoney's speculation.
- Phoenix is headed for Southern California.

Lu Jia sat in the passenger seat and turned to look at Phoenix beside her.
She didn't know what Sid, who was sitting in the back of the car, meant by that, but Luka pretended not to hear and turned around."Excuse me, do you have any water? We haven't had much water for almost a day."
"Oh, how pitiful…"
Sandy quickly bent down and picked up a bottle of mineral water and handed it to her." Drink it quickly. This is something you haven't drunk before."
Lu Jia thanked him as she took the bottle of water from him.
Her arm became extremely sore from the previous climb. Her palm was slightly sweaty. She twisted the bottle cap a few times before opening it. Lu Jia hesitated for a moment before drinking, but in the end, she still handed it to Phoenix's mouth first.
"You drink first. You'll be driving later."
Phoenix looked surprised." Okay."
Lu Jia thought Phoenix would reach out to take it, but she didn't expect him to directly lean over and drink it from her hand.
She was stunned for a moment, but she still raised her hand in time and slowly fed the water to his mouth.
Phoenix's dry, peeling lips were quickly moistened by water and became shiny.
The scene became familiar for a moment, reminding her of Phoenix's appearance when she was passing water to her. When Lu Jia woke up, his slightly wet lips were pursed like this, and then he wiped them with the back of his hand as if nothing had happened.
"-by the way, where are you going? Is it on the way?"
Lu Jia came back to her senses and looked at Phoenix without saying anything.
Phoenix's Adam's apple rose and fell as she swallowed. After a while, she replied," We're going to Las Vegas too."
Sid crossed his arms and looked alert." What a coincidence!"
Phoenix sat in the driver's seat and looked at him through the rearview mirror. She chuckled and said," It's not a coincidence. We need to go to a big city. A big city on the same road as you is naturally the best choice."
"…Alright."
Sid was glared at by Sandy and said noncommittally.
Lu Jia was also extremely thirsty at this moment. She tilted the bottle slightly and gulped down a few mouthfuls of water before feeling slightly alive.
Phoenix saw that Lu Jia had finished drinking water and started the car, preparing to drive to Las Vegas.
"Oh right, you guys haven't told us your names yet?"
"I'm Gordon. This is Clara."
Lu Jia, who had inexplicably added an English name, remained silent. She accepted it well." Yes, my name is Clara."
For a moment, the car fell into a strange silence again. No one spoke.
"Yes, my dear Biscuit, I know what's strange about them."
Sid whispered again in a voice that everyone could hear.
"They don't look like a couple at all. They don't have the intimacy we do."
Lu Jia's heart skipped a beat, and her entire body stiffened. She didn't expect to be seen through at a glance!
She quickly looked at Sid and Sandy through the rearview mirror. She didn't know when Sid had hugged Sandy tightly and whispered something in her ear that everyone could hear.
She quickly turned around and looked at Phoenix, who was driving. Obviously, he should have heard this sentence, but Lu Jia didn't expect him to have no intention of explaining. Instead, he stepped on the accelerator and continued driving forward.
Sandy helplessly stopped Sid's chattering and mumbled," Maybe they're quarreling?"
Lu Jia, who was in the state of 'quarrelling with her boyfriend', just sat upright in the passenger seat and didn't dare to move at all.
Colorado Canyon West, just two hours from Las Vegas.
Luka was exhausted, but whenever she wanted to doze off, Sid and Sandy, who had been making love all the way in the back seat, would wake her up sharply.
The two of them were either joking or kissing. It really seemed that Lu Jia and Phoenix had nothing to do with the word couple.
Luca sat on pins and needles, consoling herself that it only took two hours to be liberated.
On the way to Las Vegas, however, Hoover Dam was one of the most famous punch spots, and even two couples from Texas decided to get off and enjoy the view.
The journey with them had to be prolonged because Lu Jia and Phoenix were counting on them to take them to Las Vegas.
So Phoenix obediently parked nearby when they arrived at Hoover Dam.
He looked around cautiously and did not find any surveillance equipment.
Although Lu Jia and Phoenix had no choice, all in all, the four of them came to the Hoover Bridge above Hoover Dam to enjoy the scenery.
Unlike the view they had seen on their previous boat trip to Lake Mead, this time they were on high ground and had a clear view of the huge water level difference caused by Hoover Dam and the sparkling Lake Mead.
It was already evening, and there weren't many people on the bridge. Phoenix pulled Lu Jia toward the center of the bridge, leaving a distance of more than 10 meters between the two " lovers."
Sid and Sandy, the couple, had put a lot of psychological pressure on Lu Jia along the way. She couldn't help but feel relieved to be able to stay away from them.
However, just as Lu Jia was about to ask Phoenix what she planned to do next, he suddenly turned around and grabbed Lu Jia's slender wrist.
"Insulting me."
"…Ah?"
Lu Jia had never been asked such a ridiculous request in her life. She subconsciously blurted out," Are you crazy?"
Phoenix raised her eyebrows and snorted meaningfully. Then, she said," Continue, don't stop…They're looking at us."
Only then did Lu Jia understand Phoenix's intentions. He probably wanted to pretend that they were indeed arguing in front of the couple, just like Sandy had said in the car, so as to reduce Sid's suspicion of them.
Otherwise, if they sensed that something was wrong and informed Phoenix and Lu Jia's current whereabouts to their captors, it would be terrible.
No wonder Phoenix was so calm just now.
Speaking of cursing, it was fine if she didn't say it. Thinking of this, Lu Jia immediately felt a lot of resentment towards Phoenix.
Therefore, she took a deep breath and quickly searched for the rude words she had learned in the movies. After a little deliberation, she pointed her index finger at his nose fiercely." It's all your fault! You damned Asshole, if it weren't for you, how could I have fallen to this state…Screw you!"
Lu Jia was speaking from the bottom of her heart. Forget about what happened earlier. Thinking about how Phoenix and she had no place to sleep and nothing to eat for the past two days, and how they had traveled a long distance, they almost died of thirst on the way, the more they talked, the more sad they became. They couldn't help but raise their hands and slap his chest with their other hand that Phoenix hadn't caught.
... it's, it's pretty solid.
Forget it, I'd better not torture myself.
" I suggest that you do what you say. When we reach…Las Vegas, we'll part ways. You're not allowed to look for me again. I don't want to see you again!"
As she spoke, Lu Jia still felt a little angry. She slapped him in the back, hoping to bring him another form of harm.
In the end, this scumbag man's body fat percentage was lower than he had imagined, and he could not control it at all.
Lu Jia was still studying how to show her anger towards Phoenix in front of Sid and Sandy.
Since they were watching, she had to act better.
Suddenly, Phoenix, who had been silent all this while, moved. He seemed to have finally reached a certain critical point of explosion. He arched his strong and broad back like a cheetah. The difference in height between the two of them quickly decreased. He suddenly approached Lu Jia's face at a speed that Lu Jia had no time to react.
Under his slightly tired and disheveled face, he was still irrepressibly handsome. The crimson sunset shone on his angular face, and his straight nose bridge and eyebrows hid his deep gray-blue eyes, making it impossible to see his eyes clearly.
Lu Jia was completely stunned, because almost at the same time, Phoenix held her face without any doubt. He turned his head slightly, and the tip of his cool nose collided heavily with hers. At the same time, the warmth and softness from his lips made her eyes widen in surprise. After a short period of blankness, it turned into a burst of brilliant fireworks that blossomed on her lips.
"…Hmm."
Calm down…Calm down. She and Phoenix had kissed at the corner of their lips in the motel, and he had even fed her water in the Grand Canyon.
He was only doing it a little…a little more intensely. After all, if he didn't do this, how could he dispel others 'doubts?
Lu Jia subconsciously opened her lips, eager to make him softer. However, her actions immediately gave this beast, which had been waiting for a long time, an opportunity to take advantage of her. Her moist and warm mouth welcomed a familiar but unfamiliar tongue tip, forcefully sucking and tangling. The numbness spread from here like waves in Lake Mead, and it was like an electric current flowing through all her limbs.
Wait, wait, wait! Was this also a fake?
Lu Jia felt the man's strong scent of hormones. Her heart was beating like a drum, and her body lost all strength in an instant. If Phoenix hadn't reached out to hug her waist at the right time, she would have slipped off!
However, Phoenix obviously wanted to make this scene more realistic. His powerful hands slowly left their original positions and followed Lu Jia's spine all the way to their destination.
The peach was ripe, and he had sworn to Christ Jesus that he would never touch it again, even if he died, but at this moment, his big, well-articulated hands were gently and slowly twisting and gradually exerting force on it.
Innocent peaches eventually changed shape.
