The group returned to the CTU. As soon as Owen finished unloading his equipment, someone told him to go to Jack's office. Jack was waiting for him.
Owen glanced at the transparent office on the second floor, and could see Jack and Nina talking inside. Owen thought about it for himself, but he didn't expect what Jack wanted to do with him, so he simply ran up to the second floor in two steps.
building.
After knocking on the door and entering the office, the two people inside wanted to see him.
Jack motioned to Owen to find a seat, and then said to Nina: "Tell me the specific situation."
Nina nodded, looked at Irving, and then said solemnly: "The NSA has just sent news that Brancato Montel has officially issued a reward for you, 2 million U.S. dollars, and requires you to be delivered to him alive. If you die unfortunately
, then it is only worth 1 million US dollars. Not only to you, but also to those SWAT members..."
Owen curled his lips. Brian's guess was correct. The Montel family was indeed prepared to use this method to maintain their dignity in the underground world. To keep him alive was nothing more than to torture and kill him, but they really valued him. Two million dollars, haha.
As far as he knows, hiring a killer to kill an ordinary person now costs between 100,000 and 300,000 US dollars.
If it is a special or very difficult task, such as a famous person, a gang leader, a drug lord, or someone from a privileged government department such as the FBI, it may be more expensive, but it will be doubled, around US$600,000.
It's rare to see someone like Irving worth $2 million directly. Even his dead body is worth $1 million. I have to say that the Montel family is really wealthy.
As for Alex’s previously sky-high $100 million bounty, that was a special situation, and for the underground world it was like a comet hitting the earth.
But that's not what Owen is concerned about now. He asked: "Did you mention our family?"
What he fears most now is that Brancato Montel will also issue a reward for their family in anger, which will be troublesome.
"Not yet."
Owen breathed a sigh of relief.
Now Brancato Montel is determined to kill them, which is different from Alex's sky-high reward of 100 million US dollars.
Alex's sky-high price bounty was openly announced in the media, and it attracted too much attention. Except for some desperadoes who did not take the U.S. government seriously, no one would be stupid enough to take this job, even if it was true.
Even if you earn 100 million, you may not have the life to spend it.
The United States will definitely not give up and will definitely pursue you to the ends of the earth.
But the reward for them is different. This is announced to the underground world, and ordinary people have no idea about it. The high reward of 2 million US dollars is enough for some well-known killers and mercenaries to take action.
After Nina finished speaking, Jack looked at Owen: "Don't worry too much, just stay here during this period. In the past two days, we have cooperated with the FBI to kill some mercenary teams. The underground world already knows our attitude. In addition, the CIA
The government will take action and will not allow them to blatantly offer rewards for killing government anti-terrorism personnel. However, their early actions were not smooth and it will take some time..."
Owen nodded. He didn't know if Jack Bauer hadn't received the exact information yet or he couldn't say more. What didn't go well was that the group had been wiped out. Next, they would probably coordinate with the military and dispatch SEAL Team 6 directly.
Or other counter-terrorism forces.
"We will use you as bait tomorrow to see if we can catch some guys. You must be mentally prepared..."
Owen shrugged and said it was no problem. Only people who commit thieves in a thousand days, and there are no people who can prevent thieves in a thousand days. It seems that his plan is going to speed up.
The Montel family's troubles must be resolved as soon as possible.
…
At night, at Brian's house.
The doorbell rang, and outside the door were three ASH people in casual clothes.
After Owen and Brian talked about the situation of the three of them, Brian completely agreed to join Team A.
He knew about the downsizing of the FBI's SWAT, which had been on the news for the past two days, but this did not mean that their combat effectiveness was weak.
Even if they are as strong as Seal and Delta, they are likely to be destroyed by the group if they fight intentionally or unintentionally. What's more, they are just urban special police, and their opponents are mercenaries rolling around on the battlefield.
Brian knew very well that what they were up against was a drug lord group, hundreds of gunmen, and the protection of the local government and army. Although their plan was not to attack by force, but more to use skill, strong combat power was
Essential.
Irving introduced both parties and then explained his plan. Although he proposed the plan, the specific plan was completed by Brian. After all, he had done this before, and his professionalism and experience were unparalleled.
The two parties chatted for a while, and Owen realized that he seemed to have made a mistake before. Judging from what ASH meant, ASH didn't want to join Owen's team, but wanted Owen to join them.
"You mean you want to go to Colombia and kill Alex's father, a drug lord?"
ASH's tone was a bit unbelievable. She really didn't expect Owen to be so bold. That was Colombia, the base camp of drug lords. They didn't care whether they could succeed or not. Even if they succeeded, how would they retreat?
"Yes, we have someone who is very familiar with that place. These are the information he sent..."
Owen turned the whiteboard over. Behind it was the intelligence and analysis that he and Brian had collected over the past few days, as well as the first draft of the plan. It was plastered all over the whiteboard and connected with various diagrams, similar to a mind map.
ASH and the others seem to have their own ideas, and Owen must come up with something if he wants to convince them to join.
He is not worried that ASH will leak information. Their positions are consistent and they have a close friendship. Even if ASH does not join his plan, it will definitely not harm his affairs.
Seeing Owen's detailed plan, the three people opposite looked at each other. Monica didn't care. She was used to being a combatant. Whether it was Owen's plan or ASH's plan, she just had to fight. In fact, she also
I'm looking forward to working with Owen again.
Ke Ze and ASH did not rush to refuse, but began to carefully study the feasibility of this plan.
Irving kept raising his own questions about every detail, and Owen patiently answered them. Sometimes Brian took over where he couldn't answer.
As the details involved become more and more detailed, the balance in ASH's mind is constantly shifting. To be honest, this plan is very clever, but it also has risks. But which plan can be risk-free? As long as the probability is high enough, it is worth it.
beat.
More importantly, the way Owen and the others planned to carry out a beheading operation for the Montel family was very suitable for ASH. She was already an adventurous person, and in comparison, killing Alex was a bit childish.
Moreover, Owen's plan was very complete. He had detailed arrangements for infiltrating, killing, retreating and diverting attention afterwards. The specific steps were even detailed down to the minute.
ASH couldn't help but take a second look at the slightly older middle-aged uncle next to him. To be fair, the person who made this plan was very powerful.
The three of ASH looked at each other and made their decision.
