Downstairs, Owen just walked out of the building and happened to meet Kiel who was rushing over.
"What's going on?"
Kiel's eyes were red. At least a dozen people were dead within sight, and countless others were injured. The location was Wall Street, the economic heart of the United States.
With such a big thing happening, he, the director of the Operations Division of the New York CTU, might have finished his work.
But before Irving had time to answer, a man and a woman rushed out of the door of the building. The man among them saw Irving in the crowd and came up and punched him in the face.
"What are you doing, raise your hands..."
The surrounding police officers suddenly encountered this unexpected situation and took a step back and took out their guns.
"Don't move, I'll handle it myself~~~"
Owen stopped the policemen, and then rubbed his sore chin. Don't tell me, I hadn't noticed before, but this Walker was quite strong, and the punch was quite powerful, and it hurt him quite a bit.
"sorry……"
It was not that Irving couldn't dodge just now, but he still chose to take the punch. Because of time constraints, his method was indeed a bit risky before, and he was gambling with his own life and Walker's life, and Walker only punched him
It's already a bargain for him.
"asshole……"
Walker left, and Jennifer followed Walker angrily. Before leaving, she stamped Owen's feet with her high heels, which caused Owen to burst into tears.
"What the hell is going on?"
Keir had been waiting impatiently for a long time.
"The murderer was a white man. He used a civilian version of an M4A1 to shoot at the square and the building opposite. I don't know why he did this. You have seen everything else..."
"Doctor, I need a doctor..."
Seeing a doctor walking by, Owen hurriedly stopped him. His arm was scratched by the glass, and he was bleeding profusely. However, in addition to more than a dozen dead people, there were nearly a hundred wounded people at the scene. The ones who were much more serious than him were that they were not injured at all.
No one cares about him.
The doctor who was stopped by him took a look at his wound and asked the nurse to take him to the ambulance for a simple bandage.
New police cars and ambulances are still arriving in the distance. The movement this time is very loud. The police officers at the scene just made statistics and found that the confirmed death toll at the scene has risen to 25 people and 88 people were injured. The most important thing is, here
But Wall Street...
"Damn, the global stock market will definitely plummet tomorrow..."
Sitting next to the ambulance, Owen heard a passing policeman say this.
…
Upstairs, Kiel led his men through many obstacles and entered the room where the shooter was.
Jim's body was still lying on the ground, with no trace of movement. There were scattered bullet casings everywhere, and three empty magazines were thrown on the ground.
Farke!
Keir secretly cursed, this lunatic actually thought of doing this on Wall Street, and his life will be difficult in the future. It is conceivable that he has set a very bad example for others, and those radicals will definitely give priority to these American people in the future.
Landmark building.
Wall Street, the Twin Towers, the Federal Reserve, the Hoover Dam, the Statue of Liberty, even the White House and the Pentagon, Keele couldn't even imagine.
People from the forensics department were marking the evidence at the scene, and number plates were placed on the ground.
Kil's face was as heavy as water. He first walked around the body and then around the room. At the door, several policemen were removing the furniture blocking the door. In order to leave, Owen had only moved enough for one person to pass.
space.
Sensing Kiel's emotions, none of his men dared to say a word. Kiel glanced at these men angrily and said angrily: "Why don't you hurry up and find out who this guy is and why he did this?
Where did he get his weapons, especially the grenades? When did the black market in New York dare to sell these things? Find out all of them. I want to know all of this. Also, why did Owen show up here? I want to know the details. Everything
…”
Kil roared, and his men immediately dispersed, each performing their duties. His men were all veterans who had been with him for a long time, and they knew what Kil was unhappy about.
This is Wall Street. They were still watching the Los Angeles CTU joke about the premiere bombing in Los Angeles a while ago. They didn't expect that something would happen right under their noses in a blink of an eye, in a sensitive place like Wall Street.
In addition to the speculations of his men, Kiel actually had another dissatisfaction, which was that this matter was actually done by the Los Angeles CTU on his own.
He was also in the limelight during the previous tunnel crisis. Fortunately, it was not considered a terrorist attack, and the case was eventually handed over to the police.
But this time the Wall Street attack case was solved by an outsider like Irving alone. This would make the Los Angeles CTU very embarrassed, especially him, because he and Irving have the same position, they are both the Director of the Operations Division.
While Kiel was losing his temper upstairs, Owen was talking to Beth downstairs. Owen praised several of his bodyguards. Their performance just now was very good. Beth was also very happy with the quality they showed.
Each person was given a bonus of US$10,000 on the spot, which created a wave of loyalty.
"How about a bonus for you too?" Beth joked.
"This is a blatant bribery. If I take it today, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will invite me to drink coffee tomorrow..."
The two were joking when Owen's phone suddenly rang. It was Jack Bauer. Owen motioned to Beth to wait a moment and then pressed the answer button.
"Jack, are you looking for me?"
"Owen, your friend Beth Kinney just donated 10 million US dollars to CTU in the name of Danone Group."
"What? Why didn't I know?"
"They donated privately, without looking for the media or holding a press conference..."
Owen turned his head and looked at Beth: "Why?"
Beth obviously knew what Owen was asking and shrugged: "Owen, this is my thanks to you."
Seeing what Owen wanted to say, Beth interrupted him and continued: "I know we are friends, and I know you don't care about money, but I want to express my gratitude to you. I know that giving you money directly will cause you
It’s troublesome, so I simply donate it to TU, I believe it will at least give you a greater say within TU…”
Owen looked at Beth silently, nodded to accept her kindness, and then turned back to the phone.
"Well, I didn't know about it when she donated it. How do you plan to use the money?"
"Part of it will be given in the form of bonuses, but not a lot, you know this. The rest will be allocated as funds for your rapid response team's activities, and the rest will be used to upgrade TUs everywhere..."
Jack didn't need to tell Owen this, but the money was donated for Owen's sake. If he didn't satisfy Owen, someone would trouble him later, and this was also a rule. If he broke the rules, no one would give him money again.
There will be various constraints when it comes to ctu donations.
"I have no objection."
"By the way, Owen, there is one more thing..."
"What?"
"This time on Wall Street, I hope you can give the credit to the New York CTU, otherwise the media will keep an eye on them..."
The request made by Jack Bauer was too much, especially when he had just received such a large benefit from Irving, and he seemed a little turned away, but Irving knew what he meant.
He is no longer the young man who was always impulsive and only knew how to be passionate. Now that he is in a management position, he must also learn to look at problems from a management perspective.
He happened to be in charge of the Wall Street attack this time. One person took control of the situation before the police intervened, which can be said to have made a great contribution.
Some people may say that there is no credit for so many people dying, but if Irving did not take action like the policeman and allowed the situation to develop, the more than 20 people who died would not have been killed, and the more than 80 people who were injured were probably
How serious will the situation be if they all turn into corpses?
Therefore, Irving's contribution is very great. If you think about it with your toes, this incident must have a much greater impact than the Los Angeles premiere bombing. Irving handled it so beautifully. If this achievement is announced, it will have a greater impact on Irving himself.
The benefits are huge. He doesn't say that he will be promoted to a higher level immediately, but this is a rich qualification.
But at the same time, Owen would gain great benefits by doing this, but it would be a devastating blow to CTU.
When a place like Wall Street is attacked by terrorism, CTU cannot absolve itself of the blame. It has a thousand excuses but none of them are in use.
The media will not let go of TU, and will even make a big fuss about the fact that TU in Los Angeles solved the crime instead of TU in New York. By then, TU in New York will become the target of public criticism and be labeled as unprofessional, which may also affect the entire
The attitude of high-level Americans towards CTU.
You know, TU has soared because of President Palmer's trust and power, which has caused dissatisfaction among many people, and there have been voices of opposition in Congress. If this matter is allowed to develop, TU will likely be beaten back to its original shape.
Although Jack Bauer's approach was unfair, it was the most correct approach. Owen agreed, and he was about to set up a rapid response team anyway.
The rapid response team performs extremely dangerous tasks and comes into contact with dangerous people, so all members must be invisible. The credit is only reflected internally and is not disclosed to the public. Therefore, becoming famous is not good for Irving. He must always be weak.
