Chapter 116 The Truth
Chapter 118 The truth
In the van, Benji's face was full of joy. He had just completed his first field mission in his life and was chattering to Jack about his nervous feelings just now.
Suddenly the cell phone rang and Jack received a call from Pamela.
"Jack, urge the FBI to speed up. If Ball's daughter is rescued a minute later, Ball will not be able to cooperate with us."
Pamela saw clearly that Ball didn't want to be a puppet, but he couldn't help it. Kim was his weakness. The other party had Kim under his control. No matter what demands were made, Ball would only obey.
After arranging Jack's side, Pamela looked to the other side: "Antonio, after mobilizing the power you have, I want to know what happened in Berlin recently that may become the target of a terrorist attack."
Antonio is the boss of the Berlin branch, and asking him to check these things will definitely be more efficient than Pamela's team doing it themselves.
Antonio nodded and left. This was the first time Pamela had assigned him a job since she arrived, and it was full of pressure.
After arranging everything, Pamela looked at Chloe again.
Chloe was also very conscious and handed over a USB flash drive: "This is what Bauer found before. It is very sensitive. I suggest you think carefully about whether to open it. It will be like Pandora's box. Once
If you open it, you and your team members are likely to have bad luck."
Chloe's expression was very serious. Pamela took the USB drive, but the other party did not let go. She obviously hoped that Pamela would carefully consider what she just said.
But Pamela would not be easily fooled, so she used force to grab the U disk in her hand.
Just at this time Jack and Benji came back.
"Benji, you did a great job."
Mia did not hesitate to praise and send a hug.
"Jack, all I can say is that you were born to do field work."
Mia's praise came from the bottom of her heart, and Jack's magic stroke solved the problem that neither of them could solve, preventing the action from falling short.
Others also came over one after another, high-fiving Jack and hugging Benji.
Benji was very excited. He was recognized by everyone for his first field trip, which greatly satisfied his self-esteem.
Everyone laughed and laughed, and Pamela walked over not far away. She did not come closer like others. As a leader, she must maintain a sense of distance, and her temperament has always been a bit cold, so it seemed abnormal to come closer.<
/p>
When everyone saw Pamela, they stopped joking. Benji looked at each other with bright eyes, as if to say, "Praise me, praise me, praise me," like a child waiting for praise.
"The meeting will begin in the conference room in ten minutes."
Pamela left a word and turned to walk to the conference room. After walking for two steps, she stopped and said without looking back: "Well done."
Pamela left, and Benji, who had just revealed a disappointed look, immediately jumped up with excitement. For him, no one's recognition would be as fulfilling as getting Pamela's recognition.
Ten minutes later, the fourth team gathered in the conference room
Pamela waited until everyone arrived and said, "Let's first review the recent events."
This is Pamela's long-standing habit, which is very useful and makes it easy to check for leaks and fill in the gaps.
"Mia, it starts with you."
Mia nodded: "Bauer's daughter was kidnapped by the Red Devil. The Red Devil found Bauer and threatened him with the lives of his daughter and his family to carry out a terrorist attack for him."
Benji: "So how did the Red Devils find Ball?"
Ma Ning: "Chloe said that Ball has been tracking down the murderer of President Palmer, who may be the Red Devil."
Pamela: "You can think so for now and continue."
Jack: "Bauer was forced to have no choice but to reveal his identity in the hope of attracting the attention of the authorities and getting help."
Joseph: "Bower was caught on camera from entering the border to getting the bomb, and his subsequent execution will definitely be caught on camera. All of this must have been requested by the Red Devils in order to blame the terrorist attack on the United States."
p>
Mia: "But he should know that Ball is also a wanted fugitive in the United States."
Ma Ning: "Maybe he has a back-up plan."
Jack: "Now it seems that Ball's gesture has nothing to do with this incident."
Pamela: "Yes, Ball didn't know whether he would survive, but he knew that once the terrorist attack was successful, his video images would be noticed, so he thought of sending a message to Chloe through this."<
/p>
"Did he really find the mastermind behind the assassination of President Palmer?"
Seeing everyone looking at her, Pamela nodded: "It should be so. According to Chloe, the reason why she lied to us is because what Bauer found out has a great impact, and it is so big that she might want it.
All our lives."
Pamela looked at everyone and saw the calm eyes of everyone, and still understood the attitude of the team members.
She turned the knob herself and closed the blinds, completely blocking the view of outsiders.
Chloe's attitude still affected her to some extent.
Assassination of the President of the United States, if the facts are true as Ball said, there is someone else behind the scenes.
Then the water in this matter is too deep.
Being able to assassinate the president and then put the blame on Ball afterwards is not something that can be done simply.
To achieve all of this, I don’t know how many people will need to work together.
Thinking about the people, forces, and identities involved here makes one’s head spin. Maybe Chloe is right, and it may really bring bad luck to them.
But Pamela's character determines that she will not escape from this kind of thing, she will only face it.
Insert the USB flash drive and the content inside will be placed on the public screen in the meeting.
The content in the USB flash drive is very complex, including video files from candid angles, phone recordings with various contents, photos of certain people meeting, account transaction records, and a series of information about Jack Bauer including his blood type and fingerprint...
…
After playing these, everyone's good mood was clouded.
The things in the USB flash drive are not something they should be exposed to at this level. For them, these are simply a reminder of their death.
All the evidence actually says one thing: someone planned the assassination of then-President David Palmer and blamed the incident on the then head of the CTU, Jack Bauer.
As Bauer said before, this evidence can exonerate him. It is true.
But what really scares everyone is that the man behind all the evidence points to the then Vice President and now the then President - Garrett Walker.
Everyone looked at each other, investigating the president of their country. The Counterintelligence Center has never done this before, not to mention that the CIA itself is directly responsible to the president. Every time a new president is elected, the top leaders of other departments may not change, but the director of the CIA must.
They will be replaced by people whom the president trusts.
"Uh~~"
Everyone wanted to talk several times but didn't know what to say. This matter was really beyond their acceptance range.
With a "pop", Pamela pulled out the USB flash drive without any warning.
"Today's matter ends here. Everyone is under a hush order and must not be leaked or discussed in private. You all know the seriousness of this matter..."
Pamela looked at everyone's eyes one by one, and everyone nodded subconsciously.
"I would like to emphasize again that no disclosure is allowed and no private discussion is allowed."
With these words, Pamela opened the glass door and left the conference room, leaving behind a room full of subordinates looking at each other.
Chapter completed!
