The Blacklist

Chapter 98: Rob Hu from the FBI
At ten o'clock in the evening, the Gulfstream G650 did not land at Reagan National Airport or Dulles International Airport, but flew directly to Andrews Air Force Base, 15 kilometers east of Washington, D.C. The armed operations team of the IRS headquarters had already been waiting here and immediately took over the injured Kaya. However, they did not leave the base, but went directly to the base hospital, sent her to the intensive care unit, and kept her under strict guard.

This situation stunned everyone. Elizabeth asked angrily, "Lee, what's going on?"

"I told you, the IRS needs her." Carrie spread her hands and said, "Don't worry, I will explain this to Cooper. You can go home and rest first."

A few minutes later, Cooper called. "Richard, I need an explanation for this."

Carey sighed and said, "Well, Harold, come to Andrews and let's have a drink!"

After hearing the conversation between the two, the others decided to drink together if they wanted to!

Only Nawabi knew that this occasion was not suitable for him and left first.

More than an hour later, in an officers' bar in the Air Force base, Cooper sat with them in a quiet corner and really started drinking!

In the past ten minutes, Kerry had already told them what happened. It was one thing for his superiors, but he didn't want to keep these comrades and partners in the dark.

For a moment, no one could fully understand this matter, only Cooper figured it out, so he calmed down at this time. After thinking about it carefully, he felt that this was not a bad thing. If SER could cooperate with the newly established SLR, its strength would actually be doubled, and they could back up each other, instead of being like the last time, where a deputy minister could decide the fate of SER!
Seeing his expression, Kerry smiled and said, "Harold, have you thought it through?"

"Think it through!" Cooper nodded and said, "If it's done well, this is actually a good thing." Then he told the others what he had just thought of.

On Monday, April 4, Kaya's condition improved significantly. She was able to sit up and her spirits had completely returned to normal, which meant she was able to be questioned.

These days, she has been detained in the base hospital for medical treatment and is guarded by the IRS Special Operations Team. Except for Carrie, the only one who has the privilege, no other person or department has the right to see her.

That afternoon, Kerry came to the ward and had her first formal conversation with Kaya.

Because she had taken the red bottle of life before, Kaya completely trusted Carrie and answered all her questions; and her superhuman memory also allowed her to remember everything Carrie said!

Starting from the next day, the IRS Special Audit Division, the FBI Financial Crime Division, the CIA Foreign Intelligence Division and other departments came to the hospital one after another to question Kaya...

With sufficient preparation, Kaya responded perfectly to all of this. On the 15th, Kerry sent Kaya an irrevocable exemption document jointly signed by the Attorney General and the Director of National Intelligence. She also obtained a new identity: Corissa Norman, IRS Level Auditor, belonging to the SLR department.

During this period, the fifth to eighth floors of the old post office building above the SER post office base are being renovated, and a new entrance and enclosed parking lot are being replanned and constructed...

Although the renovation upstairs did not affect the SER team much, the staff who were unaware of the situation were talking about it, wondering what was going on!
During this period, except for going to the hospital to see Kaya... no, now her name is Corissa, Kerry and Gina were basically on vacation, waiting to start work at the new unit.

On the 29th, with sufficient financial support, the decoration of the four floors was quickly completed. Then the installation and debugging of various office furniture and equipment took more than a week.

On May 5, the new office was officially opened, and the IRS Special Collection Group (SLR) was quietly established.

The director and deputy director of the IRS fulfilled their promises. Kerry officially took office as the director of SLR, and his personal rank was adjusted to the deputy director rank, making him one of the top 30 IRS officials at the age of less than . This appointment did not cause any controversy because Kerry's personal performance in the previous year was so outstanding!
What is more strange is that the FBI did not revoke Carrey's credentials because of his departure, as if they still tacitly accepted that he was a Level 4 agent. They did not even explicitly cancel his positions as SER deputy director and senior liaison officer. I don't know what they are planning.

Gina Porter was clearly and completely severed from the FBI. Her credentials and files in the SER team were revoked. However, like Corissa, she received a new irrevocable exemption document and was also hired as an IRS Level 2 auditor, belonging to the SLR.

Including the new member Corissa Norman, there are only three official members of the SLR now. However, the General Administration has equipped this new team with technical, administrative, logistical, and operational departments, with a total number of nearly 100 people. In addition, after the field auditor training course is completed at the beginning of next month, Kerry can first select ten new people.

This was something he had discussed with Deputy Director Most. As the new senior team leader, it would not be appropriate for him to recruit those who were already senior or experienced in the bureau. It would be better for him to train and use new people himself.

After a few busy days, the SLR team was settled and all departments began to operate officially. Carrie's work became less stressful. With Reddington's tax payment to cover him, he didn't have much pressure on performance this month. After all, the team was a newly established unit.

With some free time, he thought about the personnel configuration of this unexpected SLR team. The technical team lacked a leader like Aram, and the administrative department lacked a good supervisor. The logistics supervisor was not bad. He was an old veteran in IRS logistics, very capable, and highly praised for his personal integrity. The field operations team was composed of retired Marine Corps veterans with rich combat experience. These personnel had all undergone professional loyalty tests and could be trusted.

Of course, what is more important are the formal team members. Corissa is a special professional, and Gina has outstanding combat skills, but both of them are complete novices in tax auditing. Fortunately, SLR is not an ordinary tax collection unit, otherwise they would not be able to do it.

From this perspective, I am the only one who can go out to collect taxes, which is really shabby!
Forget it, let's just make do with it for now, everything will be fine next month. Although the ten newcomers don't have much experience, they have received professional training after all. Let's use them first and slowly recruit more in the future - there are still many people with special skills in this world.

In addition, he has now mastered many secrets of the underground world, and there are many special people who can be found and used. At most, he just needs to pay some money, which is not a problem for him!
