The Blacklist

Chapter 228 Los Angeles at Midnight
Carrie really disliked Chappelle, but at this moment he admired his courage. No matter who was backing him, it was rare for him to stick to his principles in the face of his future boss!

Although he now has a formal takeover order in his pocket, the effective date is after work at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning. The other party should have received the internal email from the CIA and knows this, so he is so fearless!
"Very good, prepare the file materials, see you tomorrow." Kerry stood up and said, "Chief Chapul, stand guard for your last shift, I have high hopes for you." After that, he walked over with Gina.

Albert Green, who had been standing at the door, looked at this scene in surprise. She did not expect Chappelle to be so tough, but having known him for several years, she did not believe that this was his true thought. There must be a special reason behind his doing this!

Just like that, they came and went in a hurry. After leaving the Anti-Terrorism Department, Carrie and Gina asked Elizabeth and the others, and then rushed to Century City Hotel to meet them.

The CIA California Branch's Counter-Terrorism Division has this attitude, so there's no need to go to the Los Angeles Counter-Terrorism Group, a subordinate organization. Carrie is not sure that he can conquer them with his personal charm. If there is anything, we can only talk about it tomorrow! ——
The Century City Hotel in Los Angeles is located on the 17th to 45th floors of the Century Building. Although it does not have a star rating, its configuration is no less than that of a luxury five-star hotel. It also pays special attention to protecting the privacy of its guests. This is a place where many political and business people who come to Los Angeles are happy to stay.

This time, the experienced Katie insisted on staying here, but unexpectedly found USSS agents stationed at the elevator in the hotel lobby. Based on the information she had previously obtained, she immediately determined that one of the two presidential candidates currently participating in the Democratic Party primary should be staying here. Later, she got information from several reporters stationed in the lobby and confirmed that the person here was David Palmer.

When Carrie and Gina arrived at the hotel, they went directly to the 41st floor from the underground parking lot according to the information they received. They checked into five standard rooms and one business suite, which was naturally prepared for them.

After putting the luggage in the room and seeing that it was getting late, they first went to the hotel restaurant on the 34th floor to have dinner. The group sat at three tables: Carrie, Gina, Elizabeth, and Katie at one table, Abby, Jiva, Jeffrey and an agent at one table, and the other four agents at another table. However, the dishes they ordered were the same - when on a business trip, Carrie would not treat her subordinates badly.

After they started eating, Katie told him what she had discovered...

Palmer also lives here! Kerry was a little surprised, but when he heard that it was Katie who chose this hotel, he was not surprised, because she was from the USSS, and the first thing she considered when choosing a place to live was security. So it was not surprising that she chose the same hotel as Palmer's campaign team.

However, this reminded Carrey of the plot of the first season of "24 Hours", and it seemed that it was about to begin! However, he did not expect things to happen so quickly!
-
It was Monday. At around 43 o'clock in the evening, everyone from Washington, D.C., began to rest one after another. However, the 44rd and th floors of the hotel, which were booked out, were still busy with work. The most important Tuesday election of the party primaries would begin at o'clock tomorrow morning, and all staff members had to make their final and best efforts!

For safety reasons, the top 45th floor and the 42nd floor below it were left completely vacant, with USSS agents and security company guards responsible for security isolation to ensure the absolute safety of the Palmer campaign team.
-
It was midnight on March 3nd, Los Angeles time. Even Carrie, who usually went to bed late, went to bed. Jack Bauer, who lived in a small villa in the eastern part of the city, was communicating with his wife Terri, whom he had reunited with not long ago. After some tender time, he wanted to see if his daughter was asleep, but found that she had climbed out the window and left home!

At this moment, Jack's cell phone rang. It was the head of the counter-terrorism team, Richard Walsh, who called and said that there was important intelligence about terrorist attacks. He asked him to return to the team immediately and to call all the staff in the team back to work overtime!
In desperation, Jack and Terry can only act separately, the former returns to the counter-terrorism team, and the latter is responsible for finding her daughter... Jack, the action director of the counter-terrorism team, and other colleagues heard Walsh's introduction: According to the accurate intelligence, David Palmer, the Democratic presidential candidate who is participating in the party primary in Los Angeles, is in danger of being assassinated today...

Almost at the same time, Palmer, who was reciting a speech in a business suite on the 44th floor of Century City Hotel, received a call from ABC TV investigative reporter Maureen Kingsley, claiming that there was evidence that his son Keith was a major suspect in a murder case!
Carrie slept until six in the morning. After getting up, she worked out in the hotel gym for an hour before having breakfast and returning to her room to take a shower and change clothes.

At 7:30, everyone got up, had breakfast in the restaurant, went back to their rooms to tidy up, and then went downstairs to Norton Square to take over the CIA California Branch's Counterterrorism Division...

This time, Carrie did not go upstairs early, but stayed in the underground parking lot until 8:55 before taking the elevator to the eighth floor.

It was Green, the administrative director of the Counter-Terrorism Department, who welcomed them in. Seeing that there were more than a dozen people this time, he knew that the headquarters was serious about this and did not dare to neglect them at all. He led them directly to Chappell's office.

Chapel was smart enough. He had been waiting in the office in advance and had sorted out all the relevant documents, placing them neatly on his desk, as if he was waiting for someone to receive them!
Gina, who had long been dissatisfied with Chappelle, walked up to the table and picked up the handover form as soon as she entered the room. She said, "Liz, Katie, and Jiva, check these handover documents. Abby, you are responsible for the office computer!"

"Understood!" Everyone had heard about what happened yesterday afternoon, so they naturally didn't want to give Chapel a good face. They immediately stepped forward to drive him away from his desk and began to check him...

Chappell was a little confused, and Green, who was watching all this, was even more confused. They turned to look at Director Carrie, who was standing at the door and did not go in. Seeing him standing there with his arms folded, as if watching the fun, they were all shocked. The new boss came prepared!
Twenty minutes later, all the documents were checked. Gina asked Chapple to sign the handover form, then she took out a few documents and handed them to Kerry, saying, "Lee, there are obvious problems with the handling of these documents, and they are serious!"

Kerry took the document and looked through it, then said, "Chappell is guilty of dereliction of duty, he is being detained for investigation!"
