After the things here were over, Sam and the others took a plane to New York that night.
During dinner, Owen told his sister Amanda that Julia had invited them to be guests. The little girl jumped with excitement. She hurried back to the room to call Ken before even finishing the meal. As you can imagine,
My home phone bill is going to skyrocket again.
Two days later, Brian and Owen took Ken and Amanda to visit Julia.
When the door was opened, the two little girls screamed excitedly. The big star they had dreamed of meeting, soul singer Julia Andrews, was standing by the door looking at them with a smile.
"You must be Amanda and Ken. Welcome, I am Julia Andrews. You can call me Julia."
Julia's approachable attitude soon won the favor of the two little girls. She was actually only a few years older than them, and both had lively personalities.
After putting aside the baggage of being idols, the three of them quickly started laughing and chatting together like good friends, leaving Brian and Owen alone.
"Wow, this is last year's Grammy Award for Favorite Female Vocalist..."
"This is the Rookie of the Year trophy when you first debuted...Oh my God...this is..."
The two girls kept exclaiming. Julia invited them to visit her bedroom and collection. They also got the opportunity to take photos with the soul singer. They took whatever photos they wanted, posing in various ways, and wanted to see them later.
Ken and Amanda will definitely become celebrities at school because of these photos.
Owen and Brian had nothing to do, so they just sat on the sofa and chatted. Brian also knew that Owen was about to join the CTU, and he didn't show any surprise. After all, this old agent didn't think there was anything great about the CTU.
Owen was quite curious whether the CTU usually worked like in the movies. Unfortunately, Brian didn't know either. This agency was just a department of the CIA responsible for domestic intelligence at the beginning. Later, when it was independently established, Brian had already retired. He knew
Not much more than Irving.
After the girls got crazy enough in the suite, they wanted to go shopping together. Brian and Owen naturally had to accompany them throughout the whole process. They had already been mentally prepared. Today they were the drivers and bodyguards. They only needed to be responsible for a few people to ensure that no accidents occurred.
Julia recommended a restaurant, and Owen was responsible for driving. The car soon arrived near the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Julia first took the girls to a famous Italian restaurant for lunch. Fortunately, there are many restaurants near Hollywood that are often visited by celebrities, and they pay great attention to safety and privacy.
But the subsequent shopping trip was a disaster. As expected, the charm of a big star was not concealed. Even with a certain disguise, Julia was still recognized in a store.
First, a fan shouted out her name in surprise because he recognized her, and then people kept coming after hearing the news. This time, no one helped them block the door. Owen took the three girls and left through the back door. Brian personally
Block the door.
If Owen and the others hadn't been running so fast, they would probably have caused chaos again. The group of people ran back to the car nervously, and the three girls burst into laughter.
…
The wind is calm, the sun is just right, and the morning air in California is filled with fragrance.
My mother woke up half an hour early today because today is the day Owen reports to CTU, so she will take Amanda to the school bus today.
After eating the breakfast cooked by his mother as usual, Owen hugged his mother and drove out.
"Come on~~"
Amanda could still be seen in the glass window raising her little fist at him to cheer him up, and Owen smiled and waved.
The car sped along and soon arrived in front of the three-story building. Owen parked the car in the parking lot and entered the building.
CTU's security is very strict. Irving came to report on his first day today. He didn't have a CTU ID yet, so he asked the security guard at the door to notify the people inside to pick him up. After a while, a girl wearing glasses swiped her card and came out.
"Steve Irwin?"
"Yes."
"Follow me."
The girl led the way. Owen had just arrived in a new environment and wanted to chat with the girl, but the girl walked very fast and looked like she was in a hurry. Owen was too embarrassed to speak, so he had to follow behind.
After passing through two security doors, Owen came to the CTU office hall again. This was the second time he came here. The last time was the Zhongchen Building robbery, but the feeling this time was completely different from the last time.
The hall is obviously much busier than when we came here. A bunch of men and women are busy in front of the computer. The person on the phone not far away is still confirming something with the people around him while talking on the phone. Several people are surrounding the huge
There was a heated discussion going on on the projection wall, and the staff passing by with documents in their hands were also walking in the wind.
Owen suddenly felt a little stressed. The pace of work here was obviously much faster than that of the police station. Owen looked at the clock on the wall. At this time, his colleagues in the police station were probably drinking coffee and reading newspapers.
"Excuse me?"
Seeing Irving lagging a few steps behind, the bespectacled girl in front of him urged Irving, and Irving hurried to follow. The bespectacled girl took him to a transparent office and knocked on the glass door, "Director, the new employee Steve
·Irving is here.”
Behind the desk, Jack Bauer, whom Irving met last time, was on the phone. When he saw Irving making a gesture for him to come in first, Irving understood and pushed the door in, while the girl with eyes turned and left.
Jack Bauer waved his hand for Irving to sit down, while he continued to talk on the phone and hung up after a few minutes.
"Welcome to CTU..."
"It's my pleasure……"
The two held hands together and then let go. Jack Bauer introduced: "You belong to the field team and are led by Tony. Tony, you met last time. The nature of the work should be similar to the major crime team you worked for before.
"
Owen nodded, and Jack Bauer continued: "In addition to the field team, there is also an intelligence and analysis team, which is mainly responsible for providing support. We have the best intelligence analysts and IT technical experts. This team is under the responsibility of Nina.
As for other people, let’s get to know each other slowly at work..."
After Jack Bauer finished speaking, he picked up the phone on the table and dialed a few numbers, and then said: "Tony, come up here."
After a while, Tony pushed open the door and walked in, "Jack, are you looking for me?"
"Steve Irwin, you have met him. He will be under your control from now on. You can help him get familiar with the environment and distribute weapons..."
Tony nodded, and Owen got up and followed him away. This guy didn't seem to be easy to get along with.
Tony led Owen out of the office and down to the lobby on the first floor, "I'll take you to see the weapons first."
Along the way, Tony introduced the colleagues he met to Owen. Owen followed Tony to a row of cabinets. Tony pointed to one of them and said, "This is yours. All your equipment is in it."
After hearing this, Owen opened the cabinet and found a Glock 17 and two magazines inside, as well as an ID card and a mobile phone.
"It is best to carry your documents with you. This is good for you. Weapons can be taken home. Cell phones must be turned on 24 hours a day. The field team is on standby 24 hours a day."
Owen nodded. None of this mattered to him. The crime team was also on call 24 hours a day, but the badge was changed from a police badge to a CTU ID card.
Tony then took him to see the gun room, which was similar to the one in the police station. All the heavy firepower was stored here, but the management was much more advanced. All guns required fingerprint verification, and ID card identification was required for entry and exit.
The morning passed quickly. In addition to getting familiar with the environment, Owen also got to know a lot of people. In the afternoon, he became busy. There were several field missions in succession, and Tony specially took Owen with him.
At the end of the day, Irving could clearly feel the intensity of the work of the CTU, which was much busier than that of the Crime Unit. Moreover, the requirements for timeliness were very high, and everyone was always busy.
