This is the news Irving wanted to know most after hearing the bad news about his replacement.
"Don't worry, they are all fine. I have already contacted them. Even if the substitute finally tells the truth, it is unlikely that Makarov will find out their true identities..."
Jack comforted.
"I'm going to call them."
Owen couldn't wait to take out his cell phone. It wasn't that he didn't believe Jack, but he had to hear the voices of his mother and sister to feel relieved.
Jack shrugged in understanding and left the office to him for the time being. Owen's first call was to his mother. The phone rang once and was answered, and his mother Linda's voice came from the other end.
"Steve, my boy..."
"Mom, it's so good to hear your voice, how are you guys...and Amanda, how is she?"
"She is fine, we are all safe, Jack has told us the situation, Amanda is in her room, please wait a moment, I will ask her to answer the phone..."
Owen waited, and the sound of his mother walking came from the other end of the phone. After a while, Amanda's voice came from the phone: "Steve, it seems you have provoked some powerful terrorists again. Do I have to transfer to another school..."
"
Owen suddenly laughed when he heard Amanda's complaints. It's good that his family is safe. Owen talked a lot with his mother and sister on the phone, expressing his apology. Because of his work, his mother and sister have made a lot of sacrifices.
After talking to the two of them, Irving talked to McCall for nearly half an hour, and finally hung up the phone with confidence. The list of all personnel in the replacement plan is stored in a dedicated database, which is not open to the outside world.
It can only be accessed through a specific method. The users are all senior leaders of TU, and the users are also beneficiaries of the replacement plan, so the possibility of traitors is very low.
Seeing Owen put down the phone, Jack reappeared, and the two discussed the next countermeasures for a long time.
On that day, Owen appeared at the scene where the body double died. Whether it was staged or real, he had to come back and see.
The bodies have been taken away, but the blood stains at the scene can still tell the torture the deceased suffered before death. I hope they did not tell the truth before they died.
The murderer left a message in lipstick on the glass of the bathroom - pay back ten times, which made Owen almost certain that the murderer was Makarov.
There are currently two possibilities. The first is that the substitutes could not withstand the torture in the end and told the truth. Makarov knew that they were fake. But this possibility is not high. First of all, the message on the mirror was a
The tone of a winner. If Makarov knew the truth, he would probably not say this. Instead, he would say that this is just interest or something.
And those who are willing to become substitutes generally have their own consciousness. They are either terminally ill patients, or have their own difficulties. Death, and obtaining huge insurance for their beneficiaries is what they most want to achieve. If they tell the truth,
It is inconsistent with their interests.
The second possibility is that the substitute interpreted his role perfectly, and Makarov was fooled, thinking that he had succeeded in revenge. This is of course the best situation, and Makarov's subsequent goals are at best Irving and his family.
It's safe. All Irving has to do next is to show his normal reaction after his family is implicated and continue to paralyze his opponents.
Immediately afterwards, after Jack conveyed instructions to various TU branches across the country, TU mobilized!
The replacement for Owen's family was tortured to death, which violated TU's bottom line. For a time, TU invested almost all its resources in Makarov.
Satellite resources, informants, intelligent fuzzy matching systems, undercover agents, hidden lines, as long as they can get the resources, CTU will not let go of any of them. Because the relationship with CIA has not been thawed yet, this time the foreign part is NSA to help find information.
In the past few days, countless informants across the United States have been severely beaten, just to get some information about Makarov from their mouths.
Some small gangs have even been destroyed because of this. Usually, CTU doesn't bother to care about them, but it's different now. If they can't get any information about Makarov or the core group, then I'm sorry, but the only thing waiting for you is destruction.
People in the underworld are panicked, especially the Russian gangs. Everyone is asking, who is this Makarov and what has he done?
The reason why ctu did this actually has two purposes. First, to make a gesture to show Makarov. After all, ctu's reaction is the right one after his family is dead. Second, it is to really check the traces of Makarov, the law enforcer.
What they fear most is that their opponents will take revenge on their families. This is a red line, whoever touches them will die.
Suddenly, both black and white were looking for Makarov, and Irving even offered a reward of 200,000 dollars on the dark web for information on Makarov. The quick reaction team all canceled their vacations as soon as they got the news. They were okay
, except for Heartbeat and his parents, everyone else is a polished commander.
Ghost's wife and children are dead, Swager is also alone, Monica is an orphan, and her adoptive parents also died in a car accident. Heartbeat's parents are both Air Force officers. Like Owen, he also has a replacement plan, and everything is normal now.
Across the United States, the core group has suffered a devastating blow. TUs from all over the country have launched attacks on the core group or all groups suspected of being the core group. Even if TU does not take action, other gangs or organizations will be forced to take action by TU. There is no way.
Either the core group dies, or they themselves die.
The core group's power in the United States was not very good to begin with, and now it is almost extinct. Owen's only purpose is to turn Makarov into a rat that everyone wants to beat, whether in the underworld or in the white world.
Because of him, the core group's power in the United States was almost uprooted, and those who were lucky enough to escape also entered the dormant period and went into hiding. Makarov is not the only one who has the final say within the core group, and there will definitely be people who are dissatisfied with Makarov
, and the attitude of the core group will inevitably affect the attitude of some other organizations. The fewer people who protect Makarov, the more opportunities he has to reveal his flaws.
Unfortunately, for several days in a row, although all parties were under tremendous pressure, there was still no trace of Makarov coming back, and this guy seemed to have disappeared.
"Owen, how's it going?"
The quick reaction team had just returned from a mission outside. They had just cleared a hideout. The opponent was not the core group, but had some dealings with the core group. Nikki found it. The quick reaction team cleared it out in less than twenty minutes.
There.
Owen shook his head. He had not participated in the operations of the past two days. He still maintained a grief-stricken look for the outside world to see. All operations were completed under the leadership of the deputy captain Ghost.
Other official forces have noticed that something is wrong with CTU these past two days, especially the police system and the FBI. CTU's temper has been really hot these days. But anyone who inquires will know the reason. Family members of CTU's internal staff were killed in retaliation, including
This is the information that everyone else in CTU has received. Only Jack and a few people in the quick response team know the truth.
