On the way back, Owen kept thinking about this question, why he didn't come earlier and he didn't come later. It happened that Swager's identity was revealed at this time, which became the last straw that broke Jack's back.
There must be something fishy here. If this is not a coincidence, then this person not only wants to destroy Jack, he also wants to destroy ctu. I think the other party did not expect that Swagger would have an accident during the mission. Otherwise, it is not just Jack now.
, Swager will definitely be arrested, after all, the incident with the Archbishop of Ethiopia was too big, and it may even involve Owen, and Omega will also fall apart.
It’s just that these are not the focus now. How to deal with Jack’s matter is the focus. Going to jail as a ctu is like going to jail as a policeman. There will definitely be no good end. He may die inexplicably in prison in a few days, and his
There are too many enemies.
It was Owen who patted his chest and made sure that Jack turned a blind eye to Swager's identity. Now that he is implicated in this matter, Owen feels very sorry for him.
Owen's mind kept churning, and soon several plans came to mind.
The safest way is of course to approach President Palmer and ask him to pardon Jack Bauer, but it is hard to say whether the president will be willing to do so. Based on his previous attitude, there is a high probability that he will not agree.
The second method is to rob the prisoner. He directly robs the prisoner during the escort. It will be difficult if Jack is sent to the prison. However, the consequences of this are huge. Not only will Jack Bauer be invisible from now on, but the person who committed the prisoner robbery will also be arrested.
Wanted is a last resort policy.
The third method is to continue to appeal and then eliminate the evidence. This is the slowest and the result is unpredictable.
Thinking of this, Irving called President Palmer directly. He had always had the president's number, but he had never called it.
The call was connected, but there was no sound on the other side. Irving knew that President Palmer was still angry about Omega's disobedience last time.
Taking a deep breath, Irving got straight to the point and said: "Your Excellency, I just came out of Jack's courtroom. Jack was sentenced to five years in prison..."
"The court has made its decision and I can't change the result."
The president's words have already shown his attitude, but Irving still wants to fight for it: "Your Excellency, Jack has contributed to the country. He is a hero. Heroes should not be treated like this. I know you don't want to interfere with justice, but the law gives
Your right to amnesty..."
"No, amnesty is not used here. This is a violation of the law. I have never used amnesty since I took office, and I will not use it in the future. It is time for CTU to change its usual behavior and act in accordance with the law. This
This is my advice to CTU and also to Omega..."
President Palmer hung up the phone and was very ruthless. Irving didn't expect that the president's prejudice was so deep. Maybe it wasn't a prejudice, but just a habit of politicians being ruthless. Pardoning Jack Bauer would do him no good but only harm. He was completely
He won't remember how Jack saved him during the election, and how Jack blocked a gun for him in the White House.
Irving was extremely disappointed with these politicians. Irving had no leverage to make President Palmer compromise, so he could only focus on the second and third options. Irving had already made a decision in his heart, but he sighed in his heart.
It's just that I feel sorry for Monica if I do this.
At night, Owen hesitated and called Monica. Early the next morning, Monica took the nearest flight to Italy, and Owen waited for Simon Riley at the door, and the two drove away together.
Today is a good day, the sun is shining, and it is also the day that Jack Bauer is transferred to Guantanamo Bay Prison in Chicago. He is not serving his sentence in this state. Irving has already inquired that at ten o'clock in the morning, the prison will take their group of prisoners to the airport by bus, and then
Arrive in Chicago by plane.
The drive to the airport was Irving's only chance.
Irving didn't tell anyone about this, except Ghost. When Omega was not established, Ghost was the leader of the operations team at CTU headquarters. Like Tony in Los Angeles, he had a close relationship with Jack, and he had no children and no worries. Ghost
He is a person who has died once, and he doesn't care about many things. This is why Owen believes that he will be with him.
It turns out that Owen was right!
On the boulevard, a bus full of prisoners was driving on the road. There was a police car escorting him in front and behind him. From the window of the bus, he could clearly see the prisoners wearing orange-red prison uniforms.
Suddenly, two cars caught up from behind at high speed, one with Ghost in the car and Owen in the other. The Ghost drove a Ford Cross Country and rushed to the front of the bus, juxtaposed with the police car at the front.
Owen accelerated to the side of the bus, always maintaining the same speed as the bus.
This sudden scene frightened the police in the car. The police loudly warned through the loudspeaker, but the two cars seemed not to hear it and continued to go their own way.
The police in the car in the lead began to call the headquarters, but water from a distance could not quench their thirst. Owen's improvised plan last night had many imperfections, but he could only take a chance. He had robbed an old man once before to save Monica.
Lex, he knows that it is easy to rob a prisoner, but the subsequent steps are the difficult part. How to leave Washington, how to avoid the subsequent search, and how to change the identity and leave the United States are the most difficult parts.
This time Washington is no better than California last time. Washington is the capital, and the number of troops and police is not comparable to California. Once a vicious case like prisoner kidnapping occurs, the state borders will definitely be closed faster than California. This is the biggest problem for them.
test.
But there was only one chance, and time was running out, so he had to give it a try.
Owen carefully controlled the speed of the car, looking for Jack.
Soon he saw Jack Bauer sitting in the middle of the bus. Jack was wearing a red prison uniform and looked so eye-catching.
Owen looked at Jack, and Jack looked at Owen below through the car window. The prisoners in the car were already boiling. The more nervous the police were, the more excited they became.
As long as Irving informs him to take action, the ghost will kill the leading car and then force the bus to stop, leaving the other police car to Irving to deal with. Irving glanced at the submachine gun on the passenger seat. This time he was not fully prepared and could not act like it.
Just like last time, no one was injured, so I hope the police won't stop me too much.
The car was still moving forward, and the ghost was waiting for Owen's signal. Both Owen and the ghost wore masks. Jack could not see Owen's face, but he knew it was Owen.
Jack looked at Owen, and after a while, he shook his head silently. Owen almost told the ghost to take action. He looked at Jack in disbelief, but Jack shook his head again with certainty.
Owen didn't give the "take action" command for a long time. He didn't know what Jack was thinking, but he understood what Jack meant. He didn't want them to rob the prisoner.
"Owen..."
Seeing Owen's delay in issuing instructions, Ghost couldn't help but urge. The opportunity was fleeting. The police had been calling for support for some time. If they didn't take action, it would be too late. The police support helicopter would arrive soon.
"Action cancelled, repeat, action cancelled..."
Owen's moans came from the intercom. Owen finally made a decision. Although he didn't understand it, he decided to follow Jack's wishes. The two cars suddenly slowed down and were left behind by the convoy. All the policemen in the convoy were stunned.
After taking a breath, the bus was filled with shouts of "Fake" and "coward".
