Joe Ga arrived in Marseille and didn't let them leave on their own, as Elle Lavey had hoped.
Instead, he contacted an 'online friend' he had met once, who was none other than the American Secretary of Defense Carter, and under the remote witness of the Justice Department, arranged for a private jet for Elle, having Jazz Squad members board the plane to escort them to New York for the handover.
The terrorist attack in New Jersey hadn't happened yet, and 'Jackal' was now too busy to handle it himself and needed some manpower to help out. The people of Jazz Squad were the perfect supplement.
What's most important was that Elle admitted that he had boarded the plane with the assistance of Richie Barton from CACI Company; with a third party knowing their whereabouts, Joe Ga could not deal with the situation too rashly.
The Justice Department definitely gave face; with their witness, Joe Ga's handling of the matter left no room for criticism.
