Chapter 27 Cooperation
"How about a chat?"
After experiencing the initial panic, Pamela quickly calmed down.
"I know you didn't intend to kill anyone, otherwise William's head would have been damaged by the gunshot just now. We don't have any malicious intent, we just want to confirm something with you, and you can leave after confirming it."
"Of course."
From the moment he met Pamela, he knew what Pamela wanted to ask. In fact, he also had many questions that needed someone to answer for him, and Pamela was just the best person.
Both of them get what they need.
The atmosphere relaxed and the group lowered their guard.
Jack motioned to Pamela to ask first. After all, he was rescued by them, no matter what the purpose was, but this is a fact.
Pamela was not polite and said first: "You showed up at the Palace Hotel that night to kill me?"
In fact, she was basically sure, but she still wanted to hear Jack admit it himself.
"Yes."
Jack nodded, not at all embarrassed to face the person involved.
"Why?" Pamela blurted out.
"I don't know why. We just complete the tasks issued by 'Stumbling Block' and never ask why."
Well, without getting any further answers, Pamela held out her hand to signal that it was Jack's turn.
"Your identity?"
"You don't know?" Pamela was surprised.
Jack shook his head. Of course he knew, but he just wanted to confirm again. After all, everything seems to be in chaos now. There was no plot to assassinate Pamela in the original movie, and there was no FSB. This made him realize that this place was, after all,
It's reality, not a movie.
"Pamela Lanti, of the CIA Counterintelligence Center."
Counterintelligence center? Jack remembered the name and looked at Ethan, who shrugged: "Ethan Hunt, CIA IMF Special Task Force."
Jack nodded and asked another question: "What is your relationship with the FSB?"
"It doesn't matter. If there must be a relationship, it's between the CIA and the FSB." Pamela said firmly.
"Then why did the CIA and FSB come to you at the same time?"
In fact, this question is what Jack wants to know most, but unfortunately Pamela can't give him the answer.
"I don't know why the FSB came to me. Maybe it was because a Russian I was investigating recently had something to do with them. But I am certain that the FSB's target that day was me, but it just happened to be destroyed by you.
Well. Speaking of which, I would like to thank you. If it weren’t for your erroneous involvement that attracted some attention, I might not have been able to get away so easily."
Pamela said it very freely. Her ability to run away that day really took advantage of Jack.
"I also have a problem..."
Jack shrugged and motioned for Pamela to continue.
"Who is chasing you behind?"
This question made Jack fall into silence: "They are the 'stumbling block' people. I guess they must think that I have something to do with you, or they don't want me to fall into the hands of the FSB."
Jack didn't know why Treadstone suddenly killed him, but based on the movie, he guessed that Treadstone didn't want him to fall into the hands of the Russians.
Up to now, in fact, the gains of both parties are very limited. Both parties in the conversation also consciously control the scope.
The reason why Jack said the name "Stumbling Block" was because Ethan had mentioned it before. Although Pamela mentioned that she was tracking down a Russian, she did not mention the $20 million.
The biggest doubt now is why Stumbling Stone wanted to kill Pamela. You must know that Pamela is one of our own. Even if there is anything, we can investigate it internally. There is no need to directly kill her.
Both of them speculated that the most likely relationship was with the Russian that Pamela was investigating, but they were just guesses.
As her own life was at stake, Pamela decided to call the director to ask about the matter.
She signaled Jack to wait, walked away some distance and called the director.
Here, Ethan took the opportunity to ask a question he had been holding back for a long time: "How did you find out?"
"What?" Jack was confused.
"I'm asking, how did you discover us and where did we reveal our flaws?"
This question has been in Ethan's mind for a long time. Not only Ethan, but also all the IMF members here have this doubt in their minds.
It's almost like a real bungalow, with silicone masks, deliberately created tension and a little knowledge of psychology. They have used this trick many times, and it has always been successful. They have never failed. Unexpectedly, they were defeated by Jack.
It’s really hard for Jack to answer this kind of question. Could it be that I have an evil mind? Even if he says so, the other party won’t believe it.
"Actually, I woke up a long time ago. I have been trained to resist narcotics."
Jack could only find this excuse to excuse himself.
Speaking of which, if I hadn't been so savvy, I might have actually figured it out. The silicone mask was so lifelike, and Ethan's acting skills were good enough. Even looking back now, I can't find any flaws in the character he played, Olof.

Jack took the silicone mask in his hand and squeezed it. This thing is so amazing. It is completely different from the silicone masks in Hollywood. That one is very thick, and your head will be obviously bigger after wearing it, but the one on your hand is very thin.
, but it can be seen that it must be custom-made.
"What a good thing."
This thing can be regarded as a feature of the IMF. Every Mission: Impossible movie basically relies on this thing to do tricks.
"Don't think about it, it's still an experimental product, and currently only IMF is distributed."
Ethan's words shattered Jack's lust, and Jack didn't care. This thing is actually more suitable for an intellectual team like the IMF. If he really encounters a problem, he is still used to using force to solve it.
On the other side, after a long wait, Pamela's phone was finally connected, but what came from inside was the secretary's voice: "Sorry, it's not convenient for the director to answer the phone at this time. If there is anything urgent, you can do it later."
Call again."
Looking at the hung up phone, Pamela murmured in her heart.
This situation has happened before. Either the director is really busy or he doesn't want to see her. If it's the latter...
Pamela couldn't help but wonder, did Stumbling Block know about her assassination of the director, or did he acquiesce?
……
CIA, Office of the Director
The secretary knocked on the door and came in: "Director, I have replied to her as per your instructions."
"Well, if she calls again, just tell her I'm not here and we'll talk about everything after she comes back."
The secretary left, and the director had something on his mind.
He deliberately avoided Pamela because yesterday Watson revealed to him that Pamela was privately inquiring about the content of the "Tripstone" plan, which obviously crossed the line.
Intelligence agencies around the world actually have assassination teams like the Stumbling Stones. But this kind of thing can only be done, not talked about. Once it is known to the public, his good days will be over.
