"May the souls of Ms. Linda and Ms. Amanda be protected by the Lord in heaven, and kind people will receive eternal life..."
At the replacement's funeral, a group of people wearing solemn black suits gathered around the large and small coffins, listening to the priest perform the final mass.
The priest quoted a passage from the Bible to describe the past of the two deceased people. Owen stood beside him with a sad expression throughout the process, and Jack Bauer stood with him.
After the mass, there were speeches from relatives and friends. Some of Linda's "friends" came up to give speeches. Some of them would say a few words, summarizing Linda's life, which were basically some compliments, and they would also talk about some of the happy times they had together.
Funerals in the United States are like this. There is no special emphasis on solemnity and solemnity. If the deceased was a music-loving person during his lifetime, there may be a song played at the funeral, even if it is a very cheerful dance music, it doesn't matter.
The funeral went on in style, but the reality was that no one at the scene was a real relative or friend of Linda and Amanda, they were all actors. During this time, some of Owen's friends actually knew about his affairs and called.
To express condolences, Irving could only pretend to be sad and try to be perfunctory. They were not invited to the funeral. This was Los Angeles, and some of Irving's friends knew Linda and Amanda, but they refused to betray them when they met.
This arrangement of ctu is just a fishing trip.
A few days ago, the strong wind swept fallen leaves, but it had little effect. Apart from rectifying public security, it basically did not get any useful information. Instead, it swept out a large number of undercover agents placed by other agencies in various criminal organizations.
There is no way, if they don't reveal their identities they will be shot.
For this, ctu can only say I'm sorry, it's all a mistake. It is conceivable that these people may also suffer revenge from the remnants of the criminal organizations they lurk in in the future, but it is hard to say whether they have a replacement plan, ctu
What can be done is to try to cripple the organization they were in before so that they can't retaliate.
"Position 3 reported that everything is normal and no snipers were found..."
"Report from position 1, no abnormalities found..."
"Report from position 2, no abnormalities found..."
"Report from position 4, no abnormalities found..."
Irving, who was undergoing a farewell ceremony for relatives and friends, was receiving comfort and encouragement from relatives and friends while listening to the reports from his teammates. The funeral ceremony had reached its end, but there was still no trace of Makarov. It seemed that the fishing operation failed.
Already.
"I hope you cheer up..."
"Thanks."
"Don't worry, they will live forever in heaven..."
"Thanks."
Owen mechanically repeated his words of thanks, but his eyes were observing the surroundings without any trace.
From a criminal psychology perspective, there is a high chance that Makarov will come to watch their funeral after killing Owen's family. Enjoying Owen's pain will give the murderer great psychological satisfaction.
At the same time, this is also a good opportunity to kill Irving. The other party took revenge on Irving and made him suffer. The next target should be Irving.
But Makarov did not show up. Perhaps he was cautious enough, or perhaps he was simply not suitable for ordinary criminals. Anyway, he did not come, nor did he send anyone.
The funeral ended, the replacement's coffin was laid in the ground, and the guests attending the funeral left one after another, leaving only Irving and Jack Bauer at the scene.
The two stood in front of the tombstone for a long time, and then finally left. The two walked towards the black Cadillac parked on the side of the road. Jack drove the car, and Owen got into the passenger seat. The car slowly started and drove onto the highway.
Jack drove the car slowly towards Los Angeles. Irving's home was in Los Angeles, and the funeral of his relatives was naturally held in Los Angeles.
In the past two days, Irving has not stayed at his former home, but at the CTU branch in Los Angeles. He claims to the outside world that he misses people after seeing things, but in fact it is for safety reasons.
Tony and Chloe were the only two insiders in the Los Angeles branch. Everyone else thought that Owen's family had really been killed and comforted him very much.
"Hummingbird report, satellite display, no tracking vehicle found..."
Nikki's report from the communicator basically declared that the fishing operation was a complete failure. It seemed that Makarov was really not here. Otherwise, this section of the Irvine Road would be their last chance. Once they entered the ctu, Makarov would
Love had no chance to take action anymore.
The fishing operation was a complete failure!
…
Night, Wildcat Bar.
This is a condolence reception organized by George's father, good brothers Carlos and Carl for Irving. They don't know the truth of the matter, and they are also the group of friends who Irving feels most sorry for.
After the incident happened, many friends from the West Hollywood branch called him, especially these three people. But this matter could not be known to too many people. Irving did not say anything, so he could only feel guilty.
"Good brother, I know you feel sad, but things have happened, and you have to express your condolences..."
This is Carlos.
"Steve, people have to look forward. They don't want you to stay depressed in heaven..."
This is Father George.
"Man, my friends from the patrol team and I have swept through a lot of places in the past two days, but I'm sorry, I didn't get any useful information. I'm really sorry..."
This is Carl.
"thank you all."
Owen looked at the three people in front of him and wanted to tell them the truth, but in the end he held back.
Owen's guilty look made everyone mistakenly think that he was still in grief. Father George gave Carlos a wink. The two people in the same department had a tacit understanding, and Carlos immediately picked up the wine glass.
Wine is a good thing. Steve can't forget it and misses his relatives. As brothers, he can only drink a few more drinks with him. Alcohol will help him see his mother and sister again.
Carlos repeatedly persuaded him to drink, and Karl also responded and joined in. Owen was almost drunk by the two of them in a few moments, and his eyes were drowsy.
Irving has always been self-disciplined in his drinking, especially in the past few years, he has rarely been drunk. He drank too much at most. It was the same this time. Although he drank too much, he was still conscious. He refused the request of George and Carlos Carr to send him back.
, insisting on taking a taxi by himself.
Owen was walking alone on the street. Occasionally, cars passed by on the road. Owen stumbled as he walked. Father George drove his car and followed slowly in the distance. Carlos and Carl had already been sent back by him, but he didn't worry about Owen.
Followed secretly.
In the darkness, Swager's voice came from the ghost's communicator: "That George keeps following you, will this scare the enemy away..."
"No, if Makarov's people are really here, it doesn't matter whether there is that George..."
Ghost said with certainty that he knew the terrorists' urinary habits so well that a mere policeman would not take them seriously.
Swager silently observed from the high sniper position, while the ghost was hiding in the dark like a real ghost. In the stalled car on the roadside, Monica and Heartbeat were fully armed, with night vision goggles on their heads.
Always be prepared to deal with emergencies.
But nothing happened. Owen staggered across the several hundred meters of road, then took a taxi at the intersection and left.
This is actually another fishing operation. Jack decided on this plan when Father George called. Irving drank to relieve his worries. This is undoubtedly another good opportunity, but obviously, this fishing operation
