Six weeks of the original eight weeks passed quickly. Owen was studying with joy. He was like a sponge, constantly absorbing all kinds of knowledge. This opportunity was so rare that he felt that he was learning at a rapid pace almost every day.
improvement, but then he got a call from Jack Bauer.
"Owen?"
"I'm here, Jack, did something happen?"
"I'm sorry, your training has to end early. Joshua was injured. He was ambushed by the other party while investigating a case, and he is now in the hospital. Other cases have happened, and we don't have enough manpower, so,
Yours came back early..."
"Okay, I'll book a flight for the afternoon right away."
"The air ticket has been booked for you. Your flight will be at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning and you will arrive in Los Angeles at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. We have already said hello to you at the training center."
"Okay, see you tomorrow then."
Joshua is a member of the Operations Department like Owen, and is led by Tony. However, Owen only stayed for one day before he was sent here for training, and he was only a nod to most of the people.
After putting down the phone, Owen realized that the other people were looking at him and giving him a wry smile. It seemed that they had heard what he just said.
"Man, are you leaving?" Donald came up and asked.
"Yes, I have to leave early."
"It's okay to leave early. If you go back early, you can become a CTU earlier. Unlike us, we don't know what will happen in the end..."
Donald said nonchalantly that Irving was the only CTU among these students. The systems of the CTU and the CIA were different. Irving knew before he came that he was joining the operations department of the Los Angeles CTU, but the CIA would not inform him in advance.
Although their trainees this time are definitely from the operations department, in fact many of the intelligence analysis and support departments are recruited directly from universities and do not require similar training.
However, the CIA usually assigns jobs after training, and these people may be scattered across the country, or even around the world.
The students, including Instructor Mori, all came up to say goodbye to Owen, somewhat reluctantly. Even Donald was no longer as cheerful as usual. Owen didn't want to make the atmosphere so sad, so he laughed and said, "Okay, guys, don't do it.
You look like this, this is not the you I know. In the evening, I invite everyone to drink at my old place. If anyone can get me drunk too much, I won’t leave tomorrow..."
"This is what you said..."
"Hahaha……"
Of course it was just a joke to stop leaving after drinking too much. Early the next morning, Owen got into the car bound for the airport.
Although the small town of Lasvia is not kept secret from the outside world, there are no taxis around. Just like when they arrived, there was a special car at the training base to take them away.
Irving quickly arrived at the airport, boarded the plane, and took off. Time passed quickly. After a good sleep, the plane landed at Los Angeles International Airport. Irving returned to the City of Angels more than a month later.
Irving picked up his luggage at the baggage area and dragged it out of the airport. Carlos had called before and said he was coming to pick him up, but he just called again and said there was an emergency, so Irving had to take a taxi back by himself.
Irving expressed his understanding for Carlos's rejection of the contract.
He also came from the Major Crime Team, and he knew that the time of the Major Crime Team did not belong to individuals at all. They were on call 24 hours a day. He had often done this before when appointments were made but something unexpected happened.
Owen dragged his luggage out of the airport, hailed a taxi at the taxi station and went straight to CTU.
Unfortunately, they were stuck on the road not long after walking. After listening to the taxi's radio, Owen realized that the traffic light system in the East District seemed to be malfunctioning, causing many car accidents and causing traffic jams throughout the East District.
.
At first, this situation was only in the Eastern District, and then the congestion became more and more frequent and spread to other districts.
Listening to the news report on the radio, I turned around and looked back, and I saw that there was already a long line of traffic jams behind me, and I couldn't see the end of it.
The vehicles on the road were completely motionless. Even if someone honked their horns anxiously, it would not help. Some drivers simply turned off the engine. Owen had no choice but to wait quietly in the car.
At this moment, Irving can be sure that this is the emergency situation Carlos mentioned. At this time, all police officers must help evacuate traffic, otherwise the entire Los Angeles will be destroyed.
After about an hour, the convoy finally started moving. It seemed that the police's efforts to smooth things over were effective. Amidst the driver's curses, the taxi finally started running.
After driving with the traffic for another twenty minutes, we finally arrived at our destination.
After paying three times the usual fare, Irving got out of the car and stood at the door. He thought that he had left Los Angeles for a month and a half without knowing it. When he saw the three-story building that he had been away from for a long time, Irving was so excited.
A touch of strangeness.
Owen pulled his suitcase, took out his ID, showed it to the guard at the door, and then entered the CTU. There was still the busy scene inside. The CTU seemed to be always in a state of tension. As soon as people came in, their nerves would be tense unconsciously.
tight.
Before taking two steps, I happened to see Jack Bauer roaring in the hall.
"Chloe, have you contacted CTU Miami?"
"Not yet, Jack..."
"Continue to contact Isa, notify the CIA and FBI, and ask them to assist in investigating everything about Cruel Angel..."
"Okay, I'll contact them right away..."
As Jack Bauer spoke, he looked up and saw Owen who had just walked into the hall.
"Jack..."
"You're back..."
"Yeah, there's a big traffic jam outside, so..."
"I understand, Tony took people out two hours ago, and they haven't reached the intended destination yet. This damn traffic..."
"What happened?" Owen intuitively felt something was wrong.
"A few days ago we assisted the Miami CTU in arresting several people. They are members of a newly established organization called 'Cruel Angels'. We still don't know the purpose of this organization, but an hour ago, news came from the FBI that Miami
The CTU suffered a bomb attack. Director Maguire and several supervisors were all killed. The casualties of the Miami CTU reached more than 70%. No group or individual has claimed responsibility for this incident yet, but I suspect it was the Cruel Angel..."
Jack Bauer spoke as fast as ever, very much like his crisp and neat acting style. Owen's mouth opened wider and wider as he listened. Are you kidding me? The CTU responsible for counter-terrorism was attacked by a terrorist. This is
A naked provocation.
Miami CTU?
Irving had learned that it seemed to be responsible for the entire state of Florida. He only learned this later. In fact, the Los Angeles CTU's statement was not accurate. To be more precise, it should be the California CTU, which is responsible for counter-terrorism matters in the entire state of California.
