The Blacklist

Chapter 236 The second half of the story begins

In the conference room, Kerry drank Pu'er tea to relieve greasiness and listened to the reports from his subordinates.

Tony first said: "We brought Jayme's mother here to receive Jayme's belongings and take care of Kyle. Before that, we conducted routine investigations and inquiries on her. It turned out that an account under her name had received two wire transfers from the same holding company since January this year, one for 20 and one for 14.5!
“The remittance company is called Luka Univox, located in Belgrade, and the company also used the same account to transfer money to three very famous hired killers in the Balkans, two of whom were Jovan Myovic and Mishiko Suba, who entered the country three days ago;
"Another man, nicknamed 'Super Johnny', was confirmed by a local CIA source to have left Belgrade a week ago, and if his destination was the United States, he would have arrived there by now.

"We have reason to suspect that the three killers were targeting Senator Palmer."

Kerry nodded and said, "Tony, you did a great job. Find the whereabouts of these three killers. If they are targeting Palmer, they should be in Los Angeles now. Find them as soon as possible. Well, the killer with only a nickname should be paid special attention to. I want to know his true identity."

"Yes, Chief." Tony agreed and stood up and left.

Then, Nina said, "I received several calls from Jack before. He asked me to help him find the whereabouts of his wife and daughter. Due to personal feelings, I did not report the information in time. This is my responsibility!
"Director, you can punish me, but I think that although Jack's behavior was a bit out of line, his purpose was to rescue his family. You should give him a new chance..."

Kerry looked at her with some scrutiny and said, "Okay, I understand. Anything else?"

"There's one more thing..." Nina said, "Before, after confirming that Jayme was the traitor, Tony checked her phone and found an encrypted email. After decrypting it, he determined that the sender was a mercenary leader named Ella Gaines.

"Later, after some hard work by the new engineer Milo, we found out that Gaines was connected to an investment banker named Ted Carver. I told Jack the news.

"Half an hour ago, the Los Angeles police found Carver's stretched bulletproof sedan in a dry flood channel. Carver's body was inside. The medical examiner determined that he died of a heart attack... I suspect this has something to do with Jack!"

Kerry remained calm and said, "Send someone to send Carver's body to the State Medical Examiner's Center to determine the true cause of death and prepare a formal report. Have Tony find out the identity and whereabouts of this Carver. I want to know his background."

"Yes, Chief." Nina agreed and stood up and left.

Kerry added: "Mason, go back to your office and make sure the branch runs smoothly. If Jack and the others are brought back, I want to see them first."

"Understood, Chief." Mason agreed and left.

At this time, Gina came over, handed over the phone, and said, "Lee, it's Tom's call." On the phone, Tom, who was at the western branch of Halcyon Shield, reported: It has been confirmed that three Eastern European killers have arrived in Los Angeles. Their purpose is unknown, but it should be related to this presidential primary!
In addition, his team received a special piece of news: two "impostors" who were very famous in the European underground world were active in Los Angeles. Currently, only one of them was confirmed to be named Kevin Carroll, who had distinct characteristics - he was tall, over 1.9 meters, had served in the army for four years, and had combat experience.

After thinking about it, Carrie asked Gina to send the photos of the fake photographer Martin and the fake Jenny's father Alan York to Tom, asking him to confirm whether they were these two people?
Tom quickly confirmed that these were the two "impostors".

Next, Carrie gave Tom a new task, asking him to lead a team to secretly capture Palmer's security consultant Carl and find evidence that he ordered the murder of Ferra Ferragamo. If necessary, he could use the name of CTU or SLR or SER, and CTU would be responsible for it.
-
At 13:10, three transport helicopters landed on the roof of CTU's Los Angeles branch one after another. Jack Bauer, Terry and Kim successfully arrived under the escort of the armed action team. The mother and daughter were immediately taken to the infirmary for examination, and Jack was taken directly to the conference room where Carrie was.

Seeing Jack, who looked dusty and dirty, Carey frowned and said, "Jack Bauer, I'm Richard Carey, the director of the Special Enforcement Division of the CTU headquarters and now also the director of the California District Bureau. Now, I'll give you ten minutes to wash yourself and get tidy, and then come see me, go!"

Jack was a little confused, but then he was "sent" out by the equally strong Gina, and he could only clean himself up first - he thought, this should be a show of power from his new boss!
Ten minutes later, Jack, looking much more energetic, returned to the office...

"Please sit down! You look much better now than before." Carrie said bluntly.

"Thank you, Chief." Jack already knew that the young man in front of him was the highest-level leader of California CTU. Although he was a little unhappy, he did not dare to get angry. He answered honestly and sat down on the chair in front of the table.

Carrie did not ask immediately, but handed over a bottle of mineral water. He stood up and added some water to the cup. After sitting back down, he said, "Jack Bauer is a retired sergeant from the Special Forces and a senior CIA agent. After being transferred to the Counter-Terrorism Unit, he has made outstanding achievements and solved dozens of major cases involving US security...

“Well, he has a rich resume. Apart from frequently violating discipline and causing trouble for his superiors, he is a good agent!

"What I want to know now is how do you evaluate the series of actions you have taken since early this morning? In the past ten hours, you almost single-handedly disrupted the enemy's assassination attempt on Senator Palmer and rescued his wife and daughter. Are you proud of it?"

Jack was not stupid, so he could naturally hear the dissatisfaction in these words. He also knew that his way of fighting alone did not meet the requirements of the disciplined forces, but wasn't it because there was a traitor in the department at that time? He wanted to defend himself, but he didn't know where to start!

"Time is limited. I will now ask you some key questions. I hope you can answer truthfully." Although Carrie doesn't like this guy, he knows his ability to investigate and solve cases, so he is ready to save him. Of course, some things must be made clear in advance - he must know who the real boss is.
