After an eight-hour flight, the plane began to land. Irving looked out the window at the panoramic view of Los Angeles and happened to see the huge Hollywood sign.
After leaving the airport, the two parted ways. Owen put Monica into the taxi and closed the door for Monica while making a phone call gesture with his thumb and little finger.
Watching Monica's car leave, Owen also got into a taxi.
"Hello, sir, where are you going?"
The driver was a young black guy. He turned to Owen and asked politely.
Owen thought for a while, today was Thursday, and it was only 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Amanda and her mother must not be at home, and there was no point in going back. Owen decided to go see his old friends.
"ctu".
The taxi drove all the way and soon stopped at the entrance of CTU. The two security guards at the door saw the taxi approaching and walked over vigilantly. They stopped it before they reached the CTU building. Since then, they were attacked by a car bomb by Cruel Angel.
Finally, ctu pays great attention to this aspect.
"Hey Brandt, Armstrong, how are you?"
Seeing being stopped by the security guard, Owen opened the door and got out of the car, and greeted the two of them affectionately. He had been in CTU for so long, and he knew everyone up and down.
"Oh, Owen, it's you, long time no see..."
"Yeah, long time no see. Is Tony here?"
"Of course, his car is still in the parking lot, and he must not have left..." The security guard named Brandt pointed to a gray Ford in the parking lot.
"Yours, then..."
Irving threw two oranges to the two of them. He was also carrying two big bags in his hands. These were gifts for friends. The two caught them and chatted with Irving happily. Irving was one of his own, so he naturally did not need to check.
What kind of documents did I need? After greeting them, I entered the ctu.
It was still the familiar place, Los Angeles CTU had not changed at all. Owen looked up and vaguely saw Tony's figure in the office on the second floor.
"Look, who's back..."
As soon as Owen entered, he was discovered by someone. He was a former colleague of the field team. Owen gave the guy a bear hug, "Guys, I'm here to see you..."
When everyone saw Owen appearing, they all stood up to greet him. He had a good relationship with his TU colleagues.
"Elsa, then, Neymar, this is yours, Chloe, you have to catch it..."
As he spoke, Owen distributed the oranges in his hand to everyone, and the hall that seemed a little busy just now suddenly turned into a sea of joy.
"Owen, you are amazing. We all know about the Flight 343 incident two days ago. Although the specific name was not mentioned in the news, I know it must have been you, right?"
"Of course, I am one of the robbers..."
Owen followed the man's words and made a joke, which immediately caused a burst of laughter.
"Look, this is a medal specially awarded by the president for this..."
Owen shamelessly took out his medal of courage and showed it to everyone. They are all ctu internal staff, so there is no issue of confidentiality. If they want to check, they can check it with their authority.
The medal was obviously more popular than he himself, and it was quickly snatched away and circulated among everyone.
"How is Washington?" someone asked curiously.
In addition to being the capital, Washington is not necessarily much better than Los Angeles in other aspects. You must know that Los Angeles' economy is the second in the United States and the first on the West Coast. Many people in TU are natives of Los Angeles. It is not surprising that they have never been to Washington.
"Very nice, the girls there are very hot..."
Owen made a joke, which made everyone laugh. At this time, Tony's voice suddenly sounded from the second floor: "You partial guy, where are my oranges?"
"Well, then..."
Owen threw an orange in the air, but Tony caught it. He peeled it open and took two bites: "Well, it tastes very good."
Tony pointed at Owen and said, "Come up and have a chat with me after you're done showing off..."
Tony greeted, and the others did not delay Owen. Owen smiled and greeted everyone, and then went upstairs.
In Tony's office, the two of them were sitting side by side on the sofa.
Tony put a piece of orange into his mouth and the juice splashed everywhere. He picked up a paper towel and wiped it before saying, "How is it over at the headquarters? Is Jack okay?"
"certainly."
"You did a good job in the past two days. You killed the robbers, recaptured the plane, and avoided a biological and chemical attack on the United States. The news was very vague. What happened?"
Since Tony was curious, Owen told the whole story in detail. It was not a secret, and Tony was one of his own, so there was nothing he couldn't say.
"No wonder Jack asked us to increase the danger level of White Mask. It turns out that White Mask is involved..." After listening, Tony understood why Jack had focused his attention on White Mask in the past two days.
The two chatted a lot. Although Owen had not been away for a long time, he missed this place very much. There were friends and colleagues he had fought side by side with here, as well as his youth.
After coming out of CU, Owen looked at his watch and saw that it was almost five o'clock, so he was going to pick up Amanda from school.
Irving took a taxi and went straight home. Before leaving Los Angeles, he checked out the house he rented and left his luggage and car with his mother.
I found my car in the garage. There was a thin layer of dust on the car. It seemed that my mother did not usually drive her car. I turned on the ignition and tried it. There was no problem with the performance of the car.
Owen drove the car towards Amanda's school. When he arrived at the door, the time was just right. Within a few minutes, students were coming out of the teaching building after school.
Amanda's figure was seen in the distance. She was still with her good friend Ken, and the two of them walked towards the school bus station.
"Dudu~~~"
Originally, I wanted to give them a surprise, but when the two passed by, they didn't see Owen waiting at all, so Owen had to sound the horn.
"Oh, Steve~~~~"
After recognizing Owen, Amanda threw her schoolbag away and swooped over like a happy bird, jumping into Owen's arms.
She is really a big girl, I can hardly hold her...
Owen smiled helplessly, this girl thought she was the little girl from before, and she almost brought him down with her pounce just now.
"I'm so glad you came to pick me up..."
Owen smiled and put Xiao Nizi back on the ground. Only then did he have time to say hello to Ken: "Hi, Ken."
"Hi, Owen, your brother and sister have such a good relationship..."
Owen smiled and nodded. Kenm is an only child, which is rare in the United States, so he is a little envious of others having brothers and sisters, especially Amanda and Owen, who have a very good relationship. Amanda is in her ear every day.
It tells how happy it is to have an older brother who loves his younger sister.
"There is a gift for you in the car, and the other one is for Ken..." Owen turned around and said to his sister who was standing aside. Amanda had already jumped into the car with an excited "Wow!"
"And mine?"
"Of course. Let's go, I'll take you home..."
"Thanks."
Kem glanced at Owen happily and a little shyly, and got into the car. She actually liked her best friend's brother, but Owen already had a girlfriend, and Owen's profession, she knew her father's nature well.
I knew Brian would definitely not agree.
"Ladies, please fasten your seat belts..."
After asking the two of them to fasten their seat belts, Owen drove the car slowly away.
