Chapter 2:
When they got to the basement they were both angered and horrified by what they saw. They saw exam tables with steel restraints and blood and gore covered surgical instruments. They also saw a number of bamboo tiger cages. Carisi asked, "What the hell are those."
Jack replied as he let go of his of rifle and drew his SOG SEAL Knife 2000 from the Kydex sheath taped to the shoulder of his assault vest and poked the cage as he said, "These are called bamboo tiger cages. They used em in Nam. They...oh my god."
The SVU asked in union, "What is it?"
Jack replied as he rushed over to an unconscious woman strapped to machine that looked like a combination rack and electric chair. Thankfully the restraints on this device were leather and posed no match for the razor sharp 7" partially serrated powder-coated blade. He cut the straps and Carisi gently picked her up. As soon as her back left the metal bed a loud pop was heard followed by a beeping. They all froze as Detective Amanda Rollins asked, "What was that?"
Jack yelled as he flipped the machine over onto its side revealing a bomb with a large LED dsplaying, "RUN. YOU ALL GET THE HELL OUTTA HERE NOW."
Liv looked at the rest of them and said, "You guys go I'm staying right here."
Jack turned blazing eyes on his wife as he all but roared "ARE YOU OUTTA YOUR FUCKIN MIND? YOU WILL GO WITH THE OTHERS."
When he saw she was still worried and scared he cupped her cheek in his rough calloused hand said in a soft voice, "Don't worry baby I got this."
Olivia had tears running down her cheeks as she planted a fiery kiss on his lips then said as she got ready to run, "Listen to me very carefully Mr. Badass Navy SEAL; if you get yourself blown up I'll kill you."
He chuckled as he said, "Aye aye ma'am."
Then as they took off running he sheathed his knife and pulled out his Microtech Halo 5 and went about trying to defuse the bomb. After getting to the guts of the bomb he saw much to his horror the explosive had collapsing circuits that were completely tamper proof. He put his knife away and sprinted up the stairs. Just as he reached the entrance the bomb detonated throwing him in the air and sent him flying. He came right beside where the SVU squad was taking cover. Fin quipped as he painfully climbed to his feet, "Did you have a nice flight?"
Jack gave him the finger as he checked himself and his equipment. Olivia quipped, "Guess super SEAL couldn't defuse the bomb huh."
He just rolled his eyes as he led them back over to where Amaya was. As soon as they arrived Dodds said, "I called a bus for Amaya and the woman you guys found down below. Jack nodded as the ambulance pulled up. Carisi gently laid the woman on the gurney and Jack picked Amaya up and carried her into the ambulance. Then he asked, "Hey Rollins would you and Sonny ride with Amaya so she won't be scared?"
Both detectives could clearly see how the little girl had affected the former DEVGRU Sniper and readily agreed. Rollins had known the battle hardened and often cold former DEVGRU Sniper for almost five years and this was one of the few times he was being so gentle. Oh sure he was always like that with Liv and Noah and he and Fin were as close as brothers like he was with Nick but he usually treated her and Carisi like they were his BUD/S candidates. As the ambulance departed Carisi said that very thing. Rollins replied, "I think he's finally warming up to us."
Carisi gave a snort of derision as he remarked, "Yea right."
Rollins just chuckled.

When they all got back to the 16th precinct they saw that IAB CPT Ed Tucker was waiting for them along with Deputy Chief Dodds. Jack growled as he shoved past Tucker, "What do you want Tucker?"
Tucker replied, "My office received a complaint from John Buchanan. Apparently, you thought it would be appropriate to assault him not once but twice. And I have just one question what in the hell were you thinking? After all the IAB investigations you've been through and the numerous complaints about excessive force you had levied against you. But you know I really shouldn't be surprised I mean your older brother had numerous complaints against him as well. I hear your father was no peach-."
He was cut off as Jack flattened him with a right hook as he growled in a low and menacing voice, "That's the last time you ever talk about my family."
Tucker picked himself up off the floor and glared coldly at Jack as he snarled, "Congratulations you just ended your career. You struck a superior officer."
Deputy Chief Dodds spoke up, "Actually CPT Tucker you baited him and provoked him. So to sum it up for you he will face no repercussions for striking you. But you might if you do not leave."
Tucker glared at them as he left. Once he was gone Jack turned to Deputy Chief Dodds and said, "Thank you sir. I know I shouldn't have hit him but I don't really like him. He's been hounding me since I joined the department back in 07."
Deputy Chief Dodds nodded as he said, "I know I'll keep him out of you and Olivia's hair. Now I believe you have a prisoner to interrogate."
Olivia asked, "He was brought here?"
Deputy Chief Dodds said, "Yea after he was booked I personally had him brought here. Now I want to know what that dirt bag was doing in the basement with that little girl and the woman."
Jack spoke up, "Not to mention him and his little ISIS Cell have planned for this city."
Fin's eyes were huge as he asked, "What makes you think he's ISIS?"
Jack replied as the younger Dodds inserted a flash drive into the media center and pulled up all the Intel they had on Hassan's nephew Jibril bin Khalid and began to speak, "Jibril bin Khalid was born in Raqqa, Syria on October 23, 1987. His father Mustafa bin Khalid otherwise known as the butcher was a high-ranking leader of the Haqqani network until he was killed by DEVGRU back in 03. Since his father's death Jibril emigrated here in 04 and earned a Master's degree in Intelligence Studies from Northwestern University out of Chicago. After he graduated he joined the Navy's ONI. He only served in the Navy for three years before he deserted in 2013 and fled back to Raqqa and joined ISIS and then about 2 years ago he snuck back in country via the porous Mexican border and vanished. "
Deputy Chief Dodds said, "I want his home and any other lodgings he owns searched immediately I also want our forensic accountants to go through his finances with a fine toothed comb."
Jack said, "The FBI is doing that as we speak."
Deputy Chief Dodds said, "Good. Now I have a question for you Jack?"
Jack said, "I'll answer it if I can sir."
Dodds nodded as he asked, "Were you on the team that killed Jibrill's father?"
Jack replied, "I'm sorry sir I can't answer that. It's classified."
Deputy Chief nodded as he said, "Fair enough
He then asked, "That guy that was bought in was not Jibril bin Khalid; he's to old who the hell is he"
Jack replied, "I think it's his father's younger brother Hassan
Deputy Chief Dodds nodded again as he asked, "What makes you think that?"
Jack replied, "Cause Hasan's a radical imam and Jibril's spiritual leader."
Deputy Cheif Dodds surmised, "And the one to radicalize Jibril."
Jack's lips twisted into a smirk as he said, "Got it in one chief"
Deputy Chief Dodds smirked as he asked, "Did anyone ever tell you you're an insubordinate little shit?"
Jack just chuckled. He was about to leave when Jack's cell began to buzz. He grabbed it from his belt and barked, "Go for Stabler."
FBI Agent Mark Chase said, "Uh Jack when we were searching Khalid's place we found something you need to see. I'm coming there personally to show you what we found."
Jack heard the unease in his former swim buddies voice as he asked, "What's up Raptor."
Mark replied, "You ain't gonna like it Mako but you need to see it."
He replied, "Okay. What else did you find?"
Mark replied, "I'll show you the rest when I get there."
Jack said before he hung up, "I'll see when it you get here Navy SEAL. Keep your powder dry."
After he put his phone back on his belt he relayed what Mark had told him. The younger Dodds asked, "What do you think he found?"
Jack replied, "How the hell am I suposed to know? Do I look psychic to you; we'll find out when he gets here."
He chuckled as he asked, "What crawled up your ass and died?"
Jack snarked, You're awful mouthy considerin you're only a green beanie.(SEAL speak for Green Beret)"
The younger Dodds grinned as did everyone else. Jack glanced to Olivia as he asked in a joking voice, "Well wife you wanna go question this dirt bag with me?"
She asked, "You don't think he'll be offended if he is questioned by a woman?"
Jack's face darkened as he replied in a brittle voice, "I don't give two fucks about his religion. The only thing I see is a kiddie rapin woman abusuin no good sand poundin hadji that wants to wage war on my country and hurt my family."
And with that he strode into the interrogation room. Olivia rushed after him as Deputy Chief Dodds quipped, "This should be very interesting."
The others nodded in agreement as they all rushed into he observation room.
I changed his callsign cuz I thought Mako was a better one for a former SEAL. IF my political views bother anyone I'm sorry
