Fortunately, the people from the Mercenary Corps also know not to escalate the situation. They only injure but don't kill; although they've exposed their position, at least they haven't turned the prison escape incident into a terrorist-level case.

Now it all depends on whether the DHS containment zone can keep them restricted. Once given the chance to move, this group is likely to leave the United States and enter Canadian territory, which would be troublesome.

However, the DHS has quite a lot of resources. Strictly speaking, the DHS is qualified to contact the National Guard, and although they need to communicate with the state government, they have considerable authority. If it really becomes serious enough to require support, there are many methods they can use. It just depends on whether the Demon Wolf Mercenary Group reaches that extent.

Just one day later, Jimmy received a call from Ruiz, asking him to go to the conference room. The DHS people have arrived, and it relates to him, so they need his support.

Jimmy arrived at the conference room; besides Ruiz, Alexander Macro was also there, along with two unfamiliar agents.

Ruiz: "Jimmy, these two are agents from the DHS. They've come to request our assistance in investigating and capturing the fugitive Heidel, with the secondary goal of assisting in dealing with the Demon Wolf Mercenary Group who helped him escape."

Jimmy looked at the DHS people and asked: "Where is the suspect Heidel now?"

A middle-aged DHS agent replied: "In the wilderness south of Albany. We have currently sealed off the main routes to the north and south."

Jimmy: "In that case, getting support directly from the Albany office should be enough, right? We're the New York office; that's not within our jurisdiction."

The agent said: "You're Agent Jimmy Yang, right? Previously, you had encounters with the Demon Wolf group and are familiar with their style. We need your help to provide our agents with some experience."

Jimmy: "Wait, you engaged in a firefight with them? What are the casualties?"

The agent's expression wasn't good, "One of our three-person teams encountered one of their three-person teams. In less than a minute, all three of our personnel were shot; the opponent only left behind a damaged water bottle."

This was a bit awkward. Jimmy had previously shot and injured six or seven members of the Mercenary Group, yet the DHS team lost three people in just one encounter.

Jimmy: "How are your people? Is there any life-threatening danger?"

The agent: "No, non-lethal injuries. They had measured restraint and didn't do any follow-up shots."

Jimmy: "What about their weapons?"

The agent: "Fully armed, rifles, handguns, wearing bullet-proof vests, jungle camouflage, but no helmets."

Jimmy was speechless, "How could you be so bold? Why do you think the agents handling the case can combat these war hyenas in the wild?"

Jimmy's face also didn't look good: "With such a dangerous Mercenary Group, why not call in the National Guard?"

The agent shook his head: "If we call in the National Guard, the nature of the situation changes. Currently, things are under control, and we cannot..."

Okay, fully understood now. These people really hope to control the situation; once it escalates, the people involved in this matter won't end well.

Jimmy glanced at Ruiz, who lightly shook his head, and Ruiz also followed by shaking his head, "This matter has already been cleared with the higher-ups."

Jimmy: "What did Dave, the boss, say?"

Ruiz: "He hopes you'll cooperate with the brother unit as much as possible while ensuring safety. Alexander Macro will also go with you; he also has experience fighting them and is needed by the DHS, plus the suspect was previously captured by their team."

Jimmy looked at Alexander Macro, who nodded: "Ruiz told me about it before."

Jimmy: "Then we'll need to make some temporary adjustments for our team; I just arranged for Julia to take a vacation. Also, when are we leaving?"

The DHS agent said: "We need to leave now. They've been on the run for three days, and we need to resolve this matter as soon as possible."

Things are moving so urgently, it's life-threatening. Jimmy hasn't even settled back into his routine after returning from his honeymoon, and now he's rushing again.

Jimmy: "Alright, I'll make some arrangements."

After arranging for Mark to continue overseeing the Homicide Team, Jimmy returned to Alexander Macro's side, going downstairs together, and they each drove their assigned cars, following the DHS agents to the target location.

Because they're encircling a suspect, they need mobility. Taking a plane would require coordinating vehicles after landing, which would be cumbersome. It's easier to drive their assigned vehicles there, turn on the police lights and sirens to speed over, and rest afterward. It's only a three-hour drive.

While driving, Jimmy called Nia. This business trip is quite indefinite in terms of time. It could be resolved in a day, but it might take three to five days, or even a week; it's just trouble, overall.

Nia hung up the phone, really wondering if Jimmy was off to do something undercover. Why hasn't he settled down since returning from the honeymoon, besides spending a weekend at home?

However, she definitely wouldn't suspect him of having an affair. She just suspected he might be involved again in those paranormal cases he mentioned before. Jimmy had told her about such matters before and warned her that these paranormal cases could not be revealed to the public and were confidential to certain people.

The Church's attitude towards Jimmy was visible to Nia as well. If Jimmy hadn't made some special contributions to the Church, why would they allow him to use St. Andrew's Church for his wedding ceremony?

Thinking about it made her realize there must be something she didn't know. But she also knew that for someone like Jimmy, if he really hid something from her, it must be dangerous to some extent, and he's surely doing it to protect her.

Nia could only quietly pray, even considering trying to go to the Church to ask the Priest to pray for Jimmy.

Jimmy didn't expect Nia to think so much; he just felt that some people, like himself, were destined to toil. Even matters unrelated to him came knocking, and his boss Dave even agreed to the DHS's request, making it slightly troublesome for him to reject outright.

It's not a big deal to refuse the DHS agent's request, but rejecting in the middle of the operation would be too disrespectful to Dave. He had just helped Jimmy handle the previous case involving Julia's kidnapping and Jimmy's breach of protocol. One must always acknowledge the kindness of others.

Moreover, strictly speaking, this operation does put some pressure on Jimmy. In the past few days, he'd even been contemplating asking Black Rainbow to enhance his body and mind due to stress. Now this task comes with just enough pressure that maybe Jimmy could find an opportunity to further enhance his abilities, though others wouldn't know about it.

Arriving at the DHS's temporary camp, they set up a few simple tents. Upon entering, Jimmy saw two people drawing lines on a map on a small table.

"Agent Raymond, Agents Jimmy Yang and Alexander Macro from the FBI New York office are here," the agent who brought Jimmy and Alexander said to the people inside, then left the tent and headed toward another one nearby.

Agent Raymond greeted Jimmy and Alexander as they walked over to shake hands, "Gentlemen, now is not the time for pleasantries. You've previously had contact with the Demon Wolf people. I need you to share the details of your past encounters with our agents and provide your assessment of them."

Alexander Macro nodded: "Certainly, that's no problem. We're here solely for this issue. Before we begin, could you tell us about the current situation? Where's the suspect's location? How many of their people are there? How are those who've had encounters with them doing?"

Agent Raymond looked at Alexander: "Good question, well then, let's take a look at the map together. I'll explain everything to you."
