The next day, Jack called Owen to tell him the news.
The news was both reasonable and unexpected - the CIA took over the case.
After all, the coordinates given by Nikita the second time were no longer in the United States, and the FBI has always been responsible only for domestic affairs. Foreign affairs are within the scope of the CIA's powers and responsibilities.
Of course, it is unknown whether this has anything to do with Jack. After all, the black box involves many secrets, and President Palmer has a rift with Jack Bauer, so he certainly does not want this thing to pass through Jack's hands.
Not long ago, a team of black suits rushed into the Los Angeles branch of the FBI, showed a presidential warrant, and took away all the previously seized information about the Angels.
After hanging up the phone, Owen sat on the bed to sort out his thoughts. He felt that what happened next had little to do with him. To be honest, Owen wanted to catch or kill that bastard Percy with his own hands. That guy not only destroyed his house,
It even ruined his memory.
That house was the place where he had lived since he was a child. It was full of his memories, and it also contained a photo of his deceased father.
Unfortunately, the relationship between the CIA and him is not very good.
The phone rang, and Owen saw it was an unfamiliar number and picked it up.
"Mr. Steve Irwin?"
"Yes you are?"
"Hello, I am William Adams from Metropolitan Insurance Company of America. Your claim application has been approved after our verification. It is expected to arrive this morning. Please check it."
Two days ago, Irving applied for a claim for his house. Insurance companies in the United States are relatively reliable. The house was fully insured before, and the insurance company paid the compensation immediately after the investigation was correct.
With a "beep" sound, Irving picked up his phone and saw a message arriving.
The efficiency is really fast.
Irving thought about it and called his mother again. When the two of them talked on the phone before, her mother said that she and McCall were planning to buy a ranch in Australia. McCall was currently inspecting the site with an agent, and the two were now getting closer and closer.
I am getting tired of the hustle and bustle of the city and fall in love with the tranquility of the countryside.
The house belongs to my mother, so of course the money also belongs to my mother. Irving also added an extra million dollars. Buying a ranch is not a small expense, and Irving is also very happy to help the family.
After transferring the money, Irving called his mother again to inform him, and the two chatted for a while. The couple had done nothing in the past two days. They just followed the agency to look around for pastures, and they seemed to have found a pretty good one.
After that, Owen stopped paying attention to Percy's matter, and it was impossible for the CIA to allow him to intervene anyway.
Jenny was a little worried, especially after the matter was taken over by the CIA. He had been afraid that the agreement with Jack Bauer would be invalidated. In that case, decades of imprisonment would be waiting for her.
Owen couldn't control the rest of the matter. Apart from agreeing with this woman's strong character, Owen actually didn't have a good personal relationship with her.
In the next few days, Owen was busy with the house.
He planned to rent a house in San Francisco or simply near the Mayo Center for Monica to live temporarily. In the past two days, his mother and McCall were looking at ranches in Australia, and he was looking at houses.
News came one after another, either from Jack, or ASH, or Jenny, or others, and there was always progress reaching Owen's ears.
The CIA acted quickly. For this foreign operation, Barnes dispatched the 141st Special Forces Team. The members of this team are temporarily members of the special forces of the United Kingdom and the United States, and this black box also involves many secrets of the United Kingdom and the United States.
, even if they are allies, both sides still don't want their secrets to fall into the hands of the other party, so it is appropriate for 141 to go to war.
Unfortunately, although the coordinates Nikita gave exist, they are not of high value. The coordinates are a small town in northern Canada, where Percy has a small base.
The attack went smoothly. The helicopter landed and 141 quickly broke in. As in the past, members of 141 China, Britain and the United States were divided into two teams and broke in in two directions.
The British side is led by Captain Price, and the American side is led by the captain of the Alloy Team, Sandman. The two attack teams are like sharp blades that quickly break through the opponent's defense, like butter knives cutting, and sporadic resistance cannot delay them at all.
pace of.
After many times of cooperation, the two teams' cooperation became more and more tacit. The entire operation was as precise as a textbook, and they went straight to Huanglong. However, the effect was not ideal, and it was not even as good as the last time the FBI was in China.
It may be that there was a lot of delay in transferring the incident from the FBI to the CIA. In short, although 141 won, there was no substantial progress. Percy was not here at all, and the most important black box was not found.
Nikita was questioned as an intelligence provider, and then Nikita gave another coordinate, which was also the last coordinate she had. It was still dispatched by 141. Captain Price acted as the battlefield commander, but still found nothing.
Barnes is now anxious and angry. He regrets it to death. He originally thought that he was the one who got it, but he didn't expect to encounter this situation suddenly. If he had known this, why did he bother to snatch it from the FBI? You know, at that time and
He was also competing for this mission with the NSA and the military, and the CIA also paid a lot of money to get it.
Jack told Owen the situation, and both of them liked watching Barnes get embarrassed. The guy must have made another promise in front of President Palmer, but it was a pity that he failed.
Coincidentally, at this moment, Owen's phone rang again.
Picking up the phone, it said Bayev.
"Hey, man, you didn't call me to taunt me instead, did you?"
Owen said jokingly that not long after the Owen family's house was destroyed, the guys from Omega found out. These guys called one by one, but none of them expressed condolences. They were all ridicules and ridicules.
When they learned that the target was not Irving at all, and that Irving's house was just destroyed as a battlefield, everyone burst out laughing wildly.
Well, Irving feels like he has made a mistake with a gangster.
"Haha, sir, I'm just calling to ask how your house is going? Do you need any help?"
"Can you be so kind?"
Owen has seen through these guys. If you encounter real trouble, they will definitely risk their lives to help. But at such unlucky moments, these guys are definitely the ones who want to see you make a fool of yourself.
"Haha, or do you understand me? In fact, it is my father-in-law who wants to have a word with you?"
"Ulyanov?"
"Yes, it's me, Owen..."
Soon, Ulyanov's voice was heard on the other end of the phone, but the first words he spoke made Owen stunned.
"I heard that your house was demolished, hahaha..."
Owen's head was full of black threads, "You, an oligarch, wouldn't call here just to talk, right? If you have something to talk about, I'll hang up if it doesn't matter..."
"No, no, no, no, I have business..."
This is how you have to deal with these guys, otherwise you will definitely have to ridicule Irving for a long time.
