The Wolf of Los Angeles.

What seemed like a simple theft turned out to be more serious than Hawke had initially expected.

Subsequent news came to him one after another.

Veronica announced that she was seeking to transfer Hallasan Trading Company and was preparing to end her business in Los Angeles.

In addition, her small detached villa on Burton Road is also listed for sale through a real estate agency.

"It's clear that Veronica is preparing to leave Los Angeles with her daughter Rachel."

In a single-family house in Santa Monica, Campos combined the recent information and said to Hawke: "After the company is transferred and the property is sold, it will be time for them to leave Los Angeles."

This further confirmed Hawke's speculation: "Once these two people left Los Angeles, where they had established their network of contacts, and moved to other unfamiliar cities, especially places far away from Los Angeles, no one would care if they disappeared without a trace."

Edward, however, brought over a business newspaper: "Boss, you asked me to keep an eye on the news about the Ackerman Charitable Foundation. Take a look at this."

Hawke took it, glanced at it quickly, and said, "The Ackerman Charitable Foundation is going to build a medical center and biological laboratory in Baltimore?"

Campos continued: "Baltimore is in Maryland, on the East Coast, thousands of kilometers away from Los Angeles."

Edward has been with Hawke for a long time, and he started to speculate wildly: "Veronica's Hallasan Company is now mainly engaged in the business of the Ackerman Charitable Foundation. Is she also going to move to Baltimore?"

Campos responded, "That's very likely." He looked at Hawke and asked, "Should we send someone over in advance?"

Hawke said: "If Veronica really moves to Baltimore and sets up a company there, it will involve many people and things, and it will be troublesome to make people disappear again."

Campos understood: "This mother and daughter's rare blood type, could it be useful to someone?"

Hawke said, "Maybe a member of the Ackerman family."

By now, Campos has been completely tied to the Butterfly Company.

Hawke revealed some information: "According to the information we have, some members of the Ackerman family, including Buddy Ackerman, may have a very rare blood type flowing in their veins."

Campos had previously speculated: "Carol's goal is for their blood and organs?"

In this regard, the Butterfly Company, which has been operating in the dark for a long time, knows something about it.

Hawke had talked to them about this situation before.

"Keep watching Veronica and Rachel, and keep abreast of their developments." Hawke thought for a moment and asked, "Last time I asked you to check where the Ackerman Charitable Foundation has medical institutions, especially overseas."

Campos had someone look it up and remembered it clearly: "There is a medical center in Rosario, Baja California."

Edward continued, "I have collected information about it."

Hawke also remembered the medical center in Rosario and asked, "Is there any hidden one?"

"Nothing has been found yet." Campos thought for a moment and said, "This kind of large medical center occupies a large area, requires a large investment, and involves a wide range of relationships, so it is difficult to build it secretly."

Hawke nodded. “What’s the most convenient flight from Los Angeles to Rosario?”

Campos knew Mexico better: "Yes, there is a direct flight from Los Angeles International Airport to Rosario every day. I will arrange for someone to keep an eye on that side?"

Hawke said, “Okay.”

The three of them discussed for a while, developed several plans, and arranged for people to go to Baltimore and Rosario in advance.

Fiona and Hierro went to Rosario ahead of time, and Betty went to Baltimore.

Campos left first.

Hawke and Edward then returned to Twitter.

The Butterfly's men hiding in the dark have been keeping a close eye on Veronica and Rachel, mother and daughter.

Some of them even pretended to be customers who wanted to buy a property and entered the detached villa on Burton Road after putting on makeup.

Various latest news have been transmitted to Hawke one after another.

Not long after, the transaction of the villa that Veronica sold at a low price was completed.

The buyer was a Mexican who had recently immigrated.

A few days later, Hallasan Trading Company was deregistered and existing employees received severance pay. Many office assets that originally belonged to the company, such as desks and computers, were all sold on the second-hand market.

The company's employees and Veronica's acquaintances and friends in Los Angeles were all informed by Veronica that she was about to leave Los Angeles and go to Baltimore for development.

This may seem like a notification, but in fact it is equivalent to cutting off the original social network.

Hawke got the news first, and the development of the matter was pretty much as he had guessed.

Additional personnel were immediately dispatched to Los Angeles International Airport.

There were also many people watching the Four Seasons Hotel where Veronica and Rachel were staying.

…………

On an ordinary Thursday morning, Carol accompanied Veronica and Rachel into the terminal of Los Angeles International Airport.

Near the window for exchanging boarding passes, Garcia, wearing makeup and a baseball cap, sat on a bench with a newspaper in front of him. His eyes, hidden by sunglasses, kept moving around.

Soon, he saw the target in front of a window, and there were three of them.

Garcia spoke into the radio clipped to his jacket: "Target is in sight, window 3, three people together."

At this time, Betty came in from outside the terminal, dressed as a cool girl with an afro. She also made a phone call and said something similar. Juan also came to exchange his boarding pass and then went to check in his luggage. He was carrying another bag and walked towards the security entrance in the dense crowd.

He always followed Carol and the other two closely.

At the security checkpoint on the other side, Carlos was queuing for security check.

Since 911/, American flight security has become extremely strict and the speed of security checks has slowed down a lot.

Veronica encountered some trouble. Her daughter Rachel carried a butterfly knife with her, which was confiscated by the security guard.

This girl has become a typical example of a daughter betraying her mother.

If Carol hadn't made a few phone calls and Rachel was a minor, it would have been troublesome.

After haggling for more than ten minutes, they finally passed security and arrived at the VIP lounge near the boarding gate.

Juan saw which VIP room they entered and immediately said on the radio, "They entered VIP Room 17 and are about to board a flight to Rosario."

Garcia had been waiting outside the security checkpoint.

Carlos found a blind spot in the surveillance and stared at the entrance and exit of VIP Room 17.

He had already called Garcia.

When Hawke guessed that Carol and the other two might go to Rosario or Baltimore, Garcia sent two groups of people to Mexico and Maryland respectively to do tasks such as preparing vehicles.

Campos immediately notified Rosario's people.

At the airport, when the boarding time arrived, Carol and Veronica, along with Rachel, who looked rebellious, entered the business class at the VIP lounge.

Carlos passed through the glass door, confirmed that no one was in the VIP room, and said on the radio: "The target has boarded the plane."

Garcia replied: "Understood."

Not long after, the flight took off from the runway and left Los Angeles.

Juan then took another flight to San Beledi and drove from San Beledi to Rosario.

The news was passed back to Butterfly Company and was immediately fed back to Hawke.

In Twitter's office, Hawke answered the phone and said to Campos on the other end: "Keep an eye on them."

Campos responded.

At this moment, Hawke further confirmed his speculation that Carol's ultimate goal must be the rare blood type of Veronica and her daughter.

But these cannot be used by him, the final users must be members of the Ackerman family.

In the evening, people who were watching the Ackerman Charitable Foundation brought news that the foundation's chairman, Barack Bernanke, and special supervisor Melissa Ackerman, had taken a private plane to Baltimore.

This is public information from the charity foundation.

When the news reached Hawke, he was a little confused.

Are all the matters in Rosario handled entirely by Carol?
Hawke still remembers that after he was matched with the crew, Barack Burnham personally went to the crew to handle a series of matters concerning him.

Then, there was the jumping scene, and the subsequent chase, escape, and a series of other events.

This time, two blood bags and an organ bank were found, but there was only one security supervisor to handle it?
And these two people left Los Angeles at the same time as Carol. Was it just a coincidence?

Hawke thought about it and decided to have someone keep a close eye on Rosario Airport.

The infrastructure in places like Mexico is not very good, and Rosario is not a big city. The airport was built thanks to James Cameron's re-shooting of "Titanic".

This great director turned a small artificial lake into a huge water studio. Later, many Hollywood crews filmed here, and Rosario became one of Hollywood's famous filming locations.

Some media reported that Disney Studios is currently filming the naval battle scenes for "Pirates of the Caribbean" here.

Hollywood brings not only film crews but also tourists.

In this way, Rosario built a small airport.

The airport has only one entrance and exit, and the terminal building couldn't be smaller.

From here, you can see all the planes taking off and landing at the entire airport.

Hierro and Juan already knew the addresses of Carol and the other two. After receiving the call, Juan, who was more familiar with the appearance of the senior executives of the Ackerman Charitable Foundation, drove to the airport entrance.

This guy dressed up as a woman and spent half the night with no results.

But the next morning, a business jet landed, which caught Juan's attention and perked him up.

Melissa Ackerman, who has been accustomed to a luxurious life since childhood, is not used to flying with strangers, even in first class.

Despite her clandestine arrival, she chartered a commercial jet.

The plane landed and stopped on the tarmac, and the pick-up car drove over.

Outside the small airport, Juan saw three women getting off the plane through a telescope.

One was obviously an assistant, and the other was larger, like a bodyguard.

The one in the middle, Juan had seen the photo, and it was Melissa Ackerman. (End of this chapter)
