The Blacklist

Chapter 369: Accepting the mission and rushing to London
It's not that Kerry doesn't want to help, but CTU is the department responsible for domestic counter-terrorism, SLR's special tax audit function is also for domestic use, and so is SER. Although the functions of the three can be extended abroad when necessary, that requires an excuse, and a lot of reports have to be written afterwards. It's not worth it for the CIA, and it's even less worth it for a PMC like Halcyon Shield - without sufficient benefits, why should my people risk their lives!

In the following time, when I thought that the matter would be pressed by the top management, there was no movement. It was really a bit strange, but Kerry didn't take it seriously and just pretended not to know! ——
Another week passed, and when Carrie got to work, she saw Cooper waiting for her at SLR!

As soon as Cooper saw him, he said, "Lee, there is something I want to talk to you about."

Kerry raised his eyebrows and said cheerfully, "Of course, let's go and have some tea."

After entering the office, Cooper sat on the sofa and looked at Carrie who was making tea opposite him. After organizing his words, he said, "Lee, you should know about the CIA. It's a very troublesome matter now. They have no other options. They have submitted an application to the National Security Council and asked us, CTU, to take action... What do you think of this matter?"

Carrie laughed. What do you think? This statement reminded him of a meme from his previous life! He said, "It doesn't matter what I think. What matters is what the CIA thinks. They asked us for help. What are they prepared to pay?"

Cooper looked a little strange, and said, "The CIA promised that if this mission is successfully completed, they will fully support our CTU in leading the domestic anti-terrorism investigation!"

"Hahaha!" Carrie almost died of laughter, "Harold, you won't agree, will you?"

"Of course... no!" Cooper couldn't help laughing. "So, I made a suggestion at the National Security Council, or a bet. As long as we can solve this case, the CIA must provide us with intelligence related to domestic terrorist attacks as soon as possible in the future!"

Kerry raised his eyebrows and said, "Is this possible?"

"It's unlikely!" Cooper said affirmatively, "However, if there are any mistakes due to intelligence issues in the future, it will be the CIA's responsibility. Don't put the blame on us, CTU!"

"Hahaha!" Carrie laughed. "Harold, I think you have what it takes to be a high-ranking official now. I'm optimistic about you taking over Wright's position!"

Cooper also laughed and said, "I knew you knew what was going on! Well, if I hadn't understood the whole story, I would have thought that this situation was deliberately created by you!"

Kerry shook his head and said, "If possible, I really don't recommend taking this job..."
-
On Tuesday, Carrie, who finally took on the task, took Gina, Abby, Jiva, Jeffrey's team and Tom's team to London on a Gulfstream G650, but did not bring anyone else.

On the plane, Carrie asked Tom to introduce the whole story of the case to everyone so that everyone could have a clear idea of ​​the situation. Although Halcyon Shield and the CIA had both failed before, everyone was very confident that this time, Carrie would definitely take down the case!
Of course, Carrey is confident about this, otherwise he would not have taken it on.
-
After arriving in London, Jeffrey's team and Tom's team left at the airport first, while Carrie took Gina, Abby and Jiva to the hotel that had been booked in advance to rest for a night.

The next morning, leaving Jiva to protect Abby and set up a contact center in the hotel, Carrie took Gina to the CIA's British branch to inquire about the latest intelligence on the case.

First, the CIA confirmed that Anna Copeland and her son were still in the hands of Leland Bray, but they didn't understand why Redo had detained them for so long. However, they judged that the information Anna had should have been leaked, so they had prepared for the worst.

Secondly, the CIA must eliminate Bray in every way, so they have been trying to track down all clues related to him. Although they have not yet got his exact whereabouts, they have already made it clear that Bray has a girlfriend with whom they have been in love for many years - former Romanian Olympic-level swimmer Nadia Pascua. They believe that if they find her, they will be able to find Bray.

The last operation of the CIA British branch was to determine Bray's possible hiding place based on the tracking of Nadia, but they did not expect it to be a trap, resulting in heavy casualties.

After that, they kept tracking Nadia, but they didn't dare to take any more actions! This time CUT came, and the CIA hurriedly handed over the intelligence, hoping that someone would help take the blame!

After receiving the information from the CIA, Carrie took Gina away. He didn't intend to cooperate with the CIA on this matter. Nadia's information was enough.
-
That afternoon, Tom's team confirmed the intelligence provided by the CIA, found Nadia's villa on the outskirts of London, conducted preliminary reconnaissance, and even figured out why she had been living there - there was a large swimming pool in the basement of the villa, and she swam for an hour every morning and evening.

Jeffrey found a company that provided security services for the villa and used some means to obtain the villa's architectural drawings, monitoring system, and security measures deployment diagram.

Based on this information, Carrie personally formulated an action plan, the novelty and boldness of which amazed everyone!

At 22 p.m., Abby hacked into the surveillance system of Nadia's villa through the Internet, and directed Matt and others from Tom's team to sneak into the city's flood diversion channel under the villa and installed a circle of directional explosives directly below the swimming pool.

At 22:15, Nadia swam to the designated position in the swimming pool. At Abby's command, a big hole was blown out at the bottom of the swimming pool. Nadia was carried by the pouring water and fell into the big net prepared by Matt and others!
After successfully capturing Nadia, Matt and others immediately evacuated, got on the truck driven by Tom, and disappeared into the night. The security personnel in the villa had no idea what was going on, and their employer was gone!
In a warehouse arranged by Jeffrey in advance, Carrey interrogated the blindfolded Nadia. Because of her special identity, he was not prepared to use violence, but just put his right hand on her head. However, this retired national athlete was tough and refused to answer any questions!
After getting the information he needed, Carrie arranged for Tom and Matt to act out a play - they had a "fight" over how to interrogate Nadia next, and both of them were "injured", giving Nadia a chance to escape...

Nadia quickly escaped from the warehouse, stole clothes from a delivery vehicle on the roadside, and made a call at a pay phone...
