Owen and Jack had been chatting for a few minutes when they saw the office door directly opposite opened, and a man with Mediterranean hair and a man with short hair walked out together.
The Mediterranean figure is slightly fat and has triangular eyes. Owen knows him as Director Hayden of the NSA, the low-key and mysterious top leader of the NSA. The middle-aged man next to him has short black hair and a face full of stubble, and he looks a little bit...
Rough, Owen noticed his pupils were green.
"Jack..."
Director Hayden saw Jack Bauer and said hello.
"Louis..."
Jack also nodded politely, and the two of them moved out of the way. Owen's main attention was on the black-haired man. He had no choice but to rely on innate induction. Although the black-haired man did nothing, in Owen's perception
, its danger level is much higher than that of the Mediterranean Sea.
"Sam, I didn't expect to meet you here..."
Surprisingly, Jack greeted the black-haired man. Although his attitude could not be called affectionate, it was definitely more enthusiastic than he was with Hayden.
"Hi, Jack, I've been abroad recently and just came back today..."
After the black-haired man said hello to Jack Bauer, he followed Director Hayden and left.
Jack took Owen to look at the door, where President Palmer was answering the phone. Seeing Jack looking at him and making a wait gesture, Jack nodded and closed the door smoothly.
"It seems their troubles have been solved by themselves..."
Jack said casually, and Owen showed an expression of willingness to hear the details. Jack glanced at the closed door of the office. He was idle anyway, so he continued: "The person who was with Hayden just now was Sam Fisher.
You should know him, right?"
Owen suddenly realized that it was Sam Fisher. Owen had heard of this man, but had never seen him. Sam Fisher was the ace agent of the NSA's third echelon. No wonder Director Hayden didn't treat him like that.
When it comes to ordinary subordinates, Director Hayden relies on him just a little more than Jack Bauer relies on Owen. To put it bluntly, Sam Fisher is the most capable of Hayden's subordinates, similar to 007 in MI6.
at.
Sam's appearance here must be related to the NSA's major case, and the only major issue the NSA has recently is the leakage of evidence of eavesdropping on other countries.
After thinking about it for a moment, Owen understood the key. Just as Owen and Jack were like this now, they must have made great contributions. Only those in charge would bring their own capable men to claim the credit in front of the leaders.
"Jack, Owen..."
Just as President Palmer opened the door, revealed half of his head and snapped his fingers, Owen and Jack followed in.
"Okay, Owen, tell us what exactly is going on..."
President Palmer sat on the sofa chair looking like a curious baby. Irving told the story again. There was no exaggeration in it. President Palmer couldn't help but smile when he heard that Avril Lavigne was killed by a shark at the end. Before
The White House crisis makes it clear that Martin and the terrorists are just pawns, and the real mastermind behind the scenes is White Mask, and possibly Vice President Rafson.
"So now that the satellite phone is in your hands, have you found anything interesting?"
Irving knew what President Palmer wanted to ask, but there was currently no direct evidence to prove that Vice President Raphson and White Mask colluded. He could only shake his head helplessly: "I'm sorry, Mr. President, we are still investigating.
I will inform you as soon as there is any news..."
"Continue to track down the White Masks. It's best to take advantage of this opportunity to catch them all. In addition, I think I need to let you know about the Syndicate. The NSA did a good job this time. The third echelon not only took back our eavesdropping equipment on other countries.
Evidence, and also severely damaged the Syndicate. Sam has found out the true identity of the leader of the Syndicate. I will inform the British side later to see how they explain..."
What the president said was exactly what Jack had guessed. The NSA indeed recovered the evidence and even showed their face. It seems that President Palmer is very satisfied with them now.
The president's time is precious, and there are always various things that require him to make decisions every moment. After a brief explanation, Jack took Owen and left.
After coming out of the White House, both of them were certain of one thing, that is, the NSA had successfully gained the trust of President Palmer. The president no longer only had TU with a gun in his hand, although in a short time TU would still be his number one gun.
Choice, but no longer the only choice.
The syndicate that Omega has never solved has suffered a loss at the hands of the third echelon. This is a signal that proves that the third echelon is better than Omega. The third echelon will definitely become a competitor of Omega in the future. This is something neither Jack nor Owen is willing to do.
They saw it, but they were powerless to stop it.
At dusk, Owen and Jack parted ways in the parking lot, each leaving worriedly.
Same time, Kansas City, Missouri.
As the sun sets, people after get off work often choose to stop by the supermarket on their way home to purchase ingredients for a few days. Therefore, this time period is when there are the most customers in the supermarket.
At the entrance of a medium-sized supermarket, customers were constantly coming in and out. A car light came closer and closer in the darkness. The car slowly stopped at the entrance of the supermarket. Four men got out of the car one after another and walked towards the entrance of the supermarket.
The four men in the car went to the supermarket together. Although this scene seemed a bit strange, it was not enough to arouse people's alarm.
Everything was calm. The four men entered the supermarket and dispersed. One of them walked towards the snack area.
Next to the shelf where snacks are placed, a mother is picking snacks with her children. Next to the shelf opposite, a staff member is sorting the shelves. The man picked a place with many people to stop, and then began to recite scriptures non-stop.
The sound became louder and louder, finally attracting the attention of the people around him.
The mother seemed to have thought of something, picked up the child and was about to leave, but it was already too late. The scriptures seemed to give the man courage. When the courage was enough, the man's hand on his chest was pressed down violently, and a ball of fire swallowed it up.
Everything around.
Immediately afterwards, several other aisles also burst into flames one after another, and there were collapsed shelves and broken limbs everywhere. The attackers did not make any harsh words or declarations, they just arrived at their chosen location silently, and then
Recite the scriptures and then guide yourself back to the embrace of God.
"No, no, you don't have to do this... please..."
At the entrance of the supermarket, a worried mother had just found her child who was playing and running around. She was about to take him away from the door, but was blocked by another man.
The man looked at the mother and daughter, looking a little nervous, and kept reciting. The mother begged while holding her little daughter and rubbing her out little by little.
She didn't want to die, and she didn't want her children to be harmed. She hoped that the guy in front of her would be lenient and let them go, even if he blew himself up after they left.
Looking at the miserable mother and daughter in front of him, there was a trace of hesitation in the man's eyes, but then he pressed the detonation switch in his hand, and a ball of fire exploded at the door with a loud noise. The location of the previous few people could not be found again.
