This sentence is absolutely correct, Brian's advice is simply a guiding light for Owen.
In fact, Brian's idea is very simple. It is a simple elimination method, excluding the police department, FBI and CTU. Indeed, only the military, a violent unit, can protect them.
If those mercenaries or drug lords' private armed forces dare to attack the army, they will definitely be hunted by the United States to the ends of the earth.
Brian is right about another point, Owen is too emotional. Anger is a sign of weakness. If Owen wants to become stronger, he should learn to control his emotions.
Learn to be emotionless and calm. Only by being calm can you avoid making mistakes. His job does not allow him to make mistakes, otherwise it will harm his life at least, or harm the whole family at worst.
To control his emotions, Owen made a deep note of this.
"Where are we going now?"
Monica had been driving out of the city, because the further outside, the fewer cameras on the road. But she still didn't know the destination. When she saw Owen finishing the phone call, she quickly asked.
"Hollywood."
After struggling for such a long time, it is now close to early morning and there are very few vehicles on the road. If they continue to wander around on the road, they will look very conspicuous.
Since Brian said he couldn't break into the military camp at night, he couldn't break into the military camp at night. Owen decided to find a place to hide for the night, and he suddenly remembered another prosperous place in Los Angeles - Hollywood.
Hollywood is a business card of the United States, and also a business card of California. It is also a holy place in the hearts of every Los Angeles person. Every Los Angeles person has an extraordinary affection for Hollywood.
It is located in the suburbs northwest of Los Angeles. Every year, countless people flock to it. There is a huge flow of people there every day, which is perfect for them to hide.
Anyway, Irving and the others had already left the city and were hiding in Hollywood. The people who were chasing them would never have guessed.
The car soon entered Hollywood, which was obviously much more prosperous than the old city they had just stayed in. Even at this time, there were still pedestrians and vehicles on the streets.
Owen did not choose the relatively secluded outskirts, but asked Monica to drive further in and find a motel not far from the center to stay.
It was Monica who went to the hotel to go through the formalities. Both Owen and Alex had appeared on the news. In comparison, Monica was safer.
The black guy on night watch was already used to it when he saw Monica's lunacy in wearing sunglasses that night. There are all kinds of people in Hollywood, and he has long been used to it.
After charging Monica $50, the black man handed over a bunch of keys with a key card attached.
Owen asked Monica to register a double room, so that even if someone came to check, it would only show a man and a woman, making it less likely to cause suspicion.
The motels in Hollywood are obviously more expensive than those in Los Angeles. A black guy actually charged Monica fifty dollars for a double room, which was almost one-third more expensive than the one in Los Angeles.
Usually the soundproofing of motels is very poor, but Owen and the others were lucky. There were no people living on both sides of the room, so they didn't have to worry about what they were saying being overheard.
There are only two single beds and a set of tables and chairs in the room, but these are enough. Owen has no intention of letting Alex sleep on the bed. This kind of scum is not worthy at all.
In this way, under Alex's resentful eyes, Monica and Owen shared a bed, but Alex could only sleep on the chair.
Owen asked Monica to go to bed first, and he would stay overnight, and Monica would take over in the second half of the night.
We spent the night without talking. In the middle of the night, a couple moved in next door. It was too much of a coincidence. Irving thought the other party had something fishy, so he didn't dare to sleep. He put the weapon in his hand and guarded it quietly, but the other party didn't move.
, a false alarm.
It wasn't until early the next morning that the sun shone in through the cracks in the curtains, and the two of them woke up in a daze.
Last night, he was afraid that the enemy next door was the enemy, so he and Monica stayed up for the rest of the night. Monica was okay, at least she slept for a while, and Owen almost didn't sleep a wink all night.
Can't stand it any longer.
After waking up, Owen was still a little scared. Fortunately, the people next door were not enemies. If they were enemies, they would definitely choose to attack at four or five o'clock, because that is when people are most tired and sleepy.
In the morning, after washing up, Owen and Monica felt a little more energetic. Among the three of them, Alex, who had spent the whole night on a chair, had the best rest.
They did not set off immediately, but waited until almost ninety o'clock. By then, the entire Hollywood would be crowded with tourists, and it was easier for them to hide at that time.
Seeing that it was almost time, Owen and the other two went out. Yesterday's car was abandoned not far from here by them.
It was a stolen car, and they left the door and lights open when they abandoned it. It was so cheap to have it delivered to their doorstep, so they thought someone would help them get rid of the car.
The three of them walked for a while, and there were already many people on the street outside. Buses with tour groups kept coming and parked on the roadside, and groups of tourists got off the buses holding small flags.
Owen found a convenience store and bought two disposable mobile phones, one for each of him and Monica. Now both of them were tired and hungry, and the equipment that they usually didn't care much about now felt quite weighty when they were carrying it.
People are like iron, and food is like steel. If you don't eat one meal, you will feel hungry.
Owen decided to find a place to fill his stomach. Just as he was thinking about it, a smell wafted in. The long-lost scent was very familiar, and Owen's eyes lit up.
Pancake fruit!
Owen actually saw a vendor selling pancakes and fruit on the streets of Hollywood. The most important thing was that the vendor was not Chinese, but an authentic American young man.
This guy's stall is next to a public phone booth. The business seems to be pretty good. There are foreigners around, including men, women and children. Owen thinks they are more out of curiosity because of the actions of this American guy.
Really very skilled.
I saw him taking a spoonful of batter from a stainless steel basin, pouring it on the pancake, and then turning the scraper in his hand counterclockwise, a pancake had already taken shape.
Then he beat the eggs, turned them over, brushed them with sauce, sprinkled sesame seeds, chopped green onions, coriander, mustard dices, and poured a little tomato sauce in a very local style, and served them with crispy, warm pancakes and fruits, which cost $5 each.
.
Owen licked his lips. It was a little expensive, but business was good, and people around him lined up.
Irving also decided to order one. This guy's craftsmanship is very authentic. He definitely learned from China. It's obvious that he has mastered the core technology.
After a while, Owen came back with three pancakes. This time he generously bought one for Alex. He had no choice but to boost his national pride.
As soon as he took one bite, the soft and chewy pancakes combined with the crispy texture brought long-lost memories to Owen's taste buds.
Owen doesn't care whether Monica and Alex are used to eating. Anyway, he loves eating to death. When the American boy heard Owen telling him "make it more spicy" in Chinese, he even replied in Chinese.
I told him, "Come again if it tastes good."
Full of local accent...
The sound of "ding-dong-ding-dong" came from the side, which was a reminder before the Hollywood-specific rail sightseeing car came. This is Hollywood, and tourists and movie lovers from all over the world come here to make pilgrimages all year round.
Hollywood's tourism development is very well done. Not only are there rail sightseeing cars for tourists, but there are also sightseeing boats and speedboats on the river in front.
Just when Irving was competing with the pancakes, the phone in the phone booth next to him suddenly rang without warning. Irving didn't pay attention at first, but the phone kept ringing like a reminder, with no intention of stopping.
.
Owen suddenly felt something was wrong. He answered the phone and heard a familiar female voice say: "Oh God, Owen, you are actually eating pancakes..."
