Owen sat on the floor, watching boredly as the sunlight came in from the small window high up and cast a patch on the ground.
There was the sound of a key opening the door outside, and Owen stood up. Sure enough, the footsteps finally stopped outside his cell, and then the door was opened.
"Steve Irwin, you can come out now."
A soldier stood outside the door and said to Owen. Owen got up obediently and followed the soldier outside.
Just a few minutes ago, Monica was also taken away. Owen knew that the military must have verified their identities. Sure enough, this time it was his turn.
The soldier took Owen outside a room and motioned for him to enter.
Owen opened the door and saw Jack Bauer sitting in the guest seat. Jack Bauer closed the folder in front of him, stood up and shook hands with the military officer next to him: "Thank you, Lieutenant Colonel Luther."
The officer named Lieutenant Colonel Luther nodded, and Owen followed Jack and left.
"How's it going outside now?"
Owen asked impatiently before leaving the military camp.
"very bad."
Jack Bauer led Owen into an off-road vehicle, started it, and continued: "After you sent Alex to the military camp, those guys disappeared. The NSA helped us determine the identities of the last group of people.
They are all private armed forces of the Montel family and are only loyal to the Montel family. However, we have lost their traces. Someone must be helping them..."
Irving hesitated to speak, hesitated for a moment and then said: "Jack, there is a mole in CTU..."
"I know."
Jack drove the car out of the military base, "Chloe told me that we made a plan to find this mole, but we haven't found it yet..."
"You and Chloe?"
"Yes."
Owen was relieved. At least in this regard, Jack Bauer was very professional. He did not trust Nina just because she had a good relationship with him. Only he and Chloe knew the contents of this plan.
Everyone else is suspect.
Owen himself was actually not sure whether the mole was Nina, but he knew that this woman would betray CTU sooner or later, so he was always on guard against her.
"What about Alex? What are the FBI going to do with him?"
"The FBI has made an agreement with the military. Later, the military will send 200 soldiers to escort Alex to the federal prison. These soldiers will be temporarily stationed in the prison before the trial to ensure the safety there."
Owen nodded, knowing that Alex was cold.
No mercenary can stand head-to-head with 200 regular soldiers in the United States. Unless he takes the upper-level route, Alex may never leave anywhere in his life.
Outside the gate, the Hummer they drove in was still parked alone. The body was in tatters and full of bullet holes, and it looked miserable.
The situation at that time was very urgent. The soldiers opened fire immediately after their warning was ineffective. Multiple firepower points opened fire at the same time, including not only the soldiers' assault rifles, but also the machine guns on the fence.
If this Humvee hadn't been bulletproof, they would have been shot before they even reached the door. If you break into the barracks without permission, the soldiers won't reason with you.
No wonder Brian told them that they must go during the day, and luckily it was daytime. If it were at night, the soldiers would have directly armed themselves with heavy weapons, and their cars would be blown to pieces before they could reach the door.
Irving secretly called it a fluke. From the wreckage of the Hummer, it could be seen that several bulletproof windows had been broken. If the US military had not stopped working at that time, all three people in the car would have been dead.
The car drove all the way back to CTU. Jack had previously intended for Owen to end the training early, but Owen persisted despite disobedience. Now that Alex has been successfully handed over to the FBI, Owen has officially returned to CTU.
Irving just appeared in the hall, many people cast friendly glances at him, and several people from the field team also came up to say hello to Irving.
He could clearly feel that everyone in the CTU was much more enthusiastic towards him than before. Irving also saw the heartbeat. This would be his first partner in the CTU.
"Hey man, you're famous..."
Heartbeat pointed to a video and showed it to him.
Irving didn't know why, but then he understood why everyone's attitude towards him had changed. To put it bluntly, what people respected was his strength.
In the past, Owen was a rookie specially recruited by Jack. Even if he was named by Jack, everyone was full of distrust towards him. No one was willing to hand over their back to a rookie.
But things are different now. Irving is recognized as a strongman in the field team.
The entire exchange of fire between SWAT and Black Hood was completely recorded by the surveillance camera on the street corner.
From the car bomb at the beginning, the attrition, and being suppressed, to the destruction of Team B, and then to the exquisite cooperation between Owen and Monica at the end, they fought back.
People finally realized that this young man was different. His only shortcoming was probably that he was still a little impulsive, but this could be made up for through training.
At this time, the CP formed by Doki and Irving suddenly made everyone envious. Most of the CTU's enemies were extremely vicious, and the field agents' battle damage rate was extremely high. Partnering with a strong man like Irving, the safety factor would inevitably be greatly increased.
Not all agents are Terminators like Jack Bauer. For them, field agents are more often just a job. Everyone wants to go home and have dinner with their family every night.
The CTU's target was the mercenaries, so the CTU conducted a detailed investigation afterwards on the weapons and equipment and the identities of the personnel on both sides of the shootout. The most shocking thing was the body armor worn by the SWAT side.
Each piece of heavy-duty body armor is riddled with scars. Someone once counted that the least one had been hit by 6 bullets and as many as 11 bullets. The fact that these people survived is entirely due to God's favor.
The FBI's SWAT is recognized as strong, but this time the SWAT team B was completely wiped out, and team A suffered more than 50% damage. This also shows how tragic the battle situation was at that time.
CTU also analyzed the bodies of those with black hoods, and found that most of those shot in the head were directly related to Irving, which was related to his shooting habits.
Irving's iconic two-plus-one shooting method has become famous within the CTU. In addition to consuming a lot of ammunition, the biggest advantage of this shooting method is that it can improve safety and almost perfectly eliminate the existence of hidden guns behind the back.
Although according to American standard combat procedures, after subduing an opponent, regardless of whether the opponent is dead or alive, the weapon will be kicked out of the opponent's reach as soon as possible, but there are always exceptions, and sometimes it is safer to shoot directly in the head.
Jack Bauer decided to promote this style of shooting within the field group.
At the same time, this once again confirmed to Jack Bauer that his previous idea was correct, and the strength of the field team must be strengthened. Unfortunately, due to the heavy casualties of the FBI's SWAT, the CTU's training plan could only be temporarily shelved, or it could be combined with other
