The Blacklist

Chapter 360: Rest and Laziness
After everyone met at the airport in Athens, they boarded two special planes back to the United States. This time, Carrie, Gina, Donald, Elizabeth, Nawabi, Alam, and Demby sat on the Spike 512, while Brian's team of four and Matt's team of five took the Gulfstream 650.

As soon as the plane took off, everyone began to besiege Carrie, accusing him of secretly carrying out the operation again. He did not come with them, but ended up doing all the important things. It was outrageous!

Kerry was somewhat helpless and could only explain: "Everyone, listen to me. Everyone drank the potion in the red bottle. In addition to enhancing physical fitness and skills, did you find any other effects?"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned. After thinking about it, they shook their heads.

Kerry said: "I have an experience. Within a certain distance, I will have a certain sense of you who have also drunk the red bottle. I can vaguely sense your approximate location. This is why I can find Dumby!"

Everyone was stunned to hear him say such mysterious things, but they couldn't refute it because he really found the missing Dumby!
After a while, Elizabeth asked, "Lee, are you telling the truth? Why haven't I heard you say that before?"

"I just discovered it not long ago." Carrie said, "When you called me to tell me about Dumby, I was heading from Athens to Bulgaria. Suddenly I had a feeling that I should go in that direction! If you don't believe me, ask Gina. She drove and I pointed the way."

Gina nodded and said, "This is true. Lee said at that time: I seem to feel that Dumby is in that direction... So I drove in the direction he said, and finally I found Dumby's location!"

This was so miraculous that everyone was stunned...

After a moment, Aram said, "I think Lee's sixth sense has suddenly become stronger. I've seen similar cases online. They're amazing and can't be explained by current science!"

Kerry spread his hands and said, "It's enough for us to know about this. Don't tell anyone. I'll explore it further. Maybe it can be used for other purposes!"

Donald nodded and said, "It should be kept secret indeed! Everyone please pay attention!"

"Understood." Everyone responded, knowing the importance of this matter.

At the same time, everyone was thinking that since Lee had this skill, he would be able to find them if they encountered an accident while performing a mission in the future. This would be a life-saving move!

This trip to Eastern Europe took more than a day on the plane to and from the airport. After returning to Washington, Kerry and Donald gave everyone on the business trip a day off so that everyone could have a good rest for a few days.

Reddington didn't come back, Carrie and Gina accompanied Elizabeth to visit her grandfather and stayed in Baltimore for a few days. Old Dom was very happy during this period. Without talking about the past, he felt very satisfied with his life now. He could see his granddaughter almost every week, which was something he could never imagine before!
At this time, everyone understood each other's identity, so Kerry and Dom also talked about some agent skills, action skills, reconnaissance, intelligence analysis, etc. during the communication...

Carrie discovered that this old agent was very skilled. Although he did not have enough knowledge of some of the current advanced technical means, he was extremely proficient in the practical skills of an agent, so he was willing to ask for advice.

Old Dom also had a very good impression of Carrie and was willing to teach him everything he knew. Of course, Elizabeth was also involved. The old man was very experienced and could see the relationship between him and his granddaughter, and even saw that he had a relationship with Gina, but he didn't care, as long as his granddaughter was happy!
This is not to say that the old man is very open-minded, he just has seen a lot and knows that for people like them who are engaged in special professions, their views on marriage are very different from those of ordinary people and cannot be judged according to common sense, so he can be more open-minded.

Elizabeth was so happy that Dom and Carrie could get along so harmoniously that she even wanted to cook for them herself. Everyone was so frightened that they quickly stopped her. Gina hurried back to the car and brought in the packed Chinese food! —
On Thursday, November 11, Kerry sat in the office reviewing the documents that had been accumulated. Although Gina did most of the preliminary work, some documents had to be signed by him personally. He had been a bit lazy in the past period of time, so all the documents were piled up together now, and he would be busy all day!
Gina had nothing to do today. She could sit aside and drink tea, watching Carrie frowning as she reviewed documents behind her desk. She was very happy.

The first few days of November were relatively easy, but in the following weeks, SER received several important cases transferred from the General Administration, and was very busy. However, because the case was relatively simple, Kerry did not need to help.

On the SLR side, as it is near the end of the year, there is no pressure in this regard because the previous tax collection tasks were completed well. However, the related paper work such as report preparation, file archiving, etc. has suddenly increased, and it is not easy.

Carrie used her lazy skills to push most of the writing work to Gina. Gina also learned her lesson and developed Jiva and Kolisa into part-time assistants to help her with the work, so she was able to cope with it.

In order to ensure everyone's enthusiasm for work, Kerry instructed the logistics department to do a good job of support, the restaurant added more dishes, coffee and drinks were sufficient, and a special amount of money was approved for bonuses, so no one really compared him to him for not working! In everyone's mind, as long as Director Kerry walked around upstairs and downstairs every day, everyone had a backbone and sufficient motivation!
As the year draws to a close, there are more things to do. In addition to administrative work, various cases are also entering a peak period! At the beginning, there were not many cases that required SLR and SER to be dispatched, but after entering December, things began to change.
-
On Thursday, December 12, shortly after arriving at work, CTU General Director Cooper accompanied Senator Mel Hawkins to the post office, found Kerry, and asked him to urgently investigate a case!
As soon as he sat down, Cooper asked, "Lee, did you hear about the terrorist attack in Toronto on Tuesday night?"

"Yeah, I heard about it." Carrie nodded. "On Tuesday night, an attacker used nerve gas in a nightclub in Toronto, Canada, killing 57 people! A member of a radical organization who claimed to be the attacker was arrested!"

At this time, Hawkins continued: "Our government has received an application from the Canadian side. The Ministry of Finance will announce on Monday that the bank accounts that funded the attack will be frozen...but now there is a serious problem!

"15 hours ago, a person called 'whistleblower' logged into the server through the Senate Intelligence Committee's encrypted computer and checked the list of accounts that would be frozen!"
