the next day.
New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport.
"Sign it."
"alright."
George took back the documents and watched Bucky Barnes, wearing a hood, being escorted onto the private plane by two police officers. He then said to Lake, who was standing across from him, "Tsk tsk, now you have your own private jet?"
Lake turned his head and took a look. "That's not what you're talking about. This is the FBI's plane that was requisitioned. The Department of Homeland Security's special plane is still being purchased."
George felt like he had been hit 100% critically: "New?"
Lake looked at George, the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "Why, you regret it, is it too late?"
The Bureau of Homeland Security or the Department of Homeland Security can be said to be newly established, or it can be said to be a giant patchwork monster. After all, the establishment of the Bureau of Homeland Security has taken away the work of several other major law enforcement agencies.
The FBI's infrastructure protection authority was handed over.
The National Communications Systems Agency, which was part of the Department of Defense, was also transferred to Homeland Security.
The Civilian Biochemical Defense Research Program Bureau under the Ministry of Health...
The General Administration of Customs, which belongs to the Ministry of Finance...
The Immigration and Naturalization Service, part of the Department of Justice…
The Transportation Security Administration of the Department of Transportation...
…
In short, although the Department of Homeland Security was just established, it does not mean that it has no money. It is very rich. Moreover, after its establishment, the number of employees of the Department of Homeland Security has almost exceeded 160,000. Moreover, this number is still increasing, and the speed is very fast.
The Department of Homeland Security is characterized by its large numbers, strength, and wealth.
What's the big deal about buying a plane?
It would not be difficult for the Department of Homeland Security to build its own aircraft one day. The IRS has its own tanks, so what's so strange about the Department of Homeland Security having its own aircraft?
After hearing this, George silently gave Lake a gesture.
After a while.
George and Lake hugged each other. "When are you coming back to New York?"
Lake said, "Don't worry, I can still make it in time for your housewarming party next week."
The New York Police Department received a donation of 200 million US dollars, and finally, George's overtime pay and special bonus that had been delayed for nearly three years were finally paid. Now, George finally rented a better apartment again. Although the original apartment was also good, it seemed a little small after the birth of his third child last year.
Not only did George move to a new house, but most of the people in the police station had their quality of life improved thanks to the donation from the billionaire Tony Stark.
soon.
Special flight.
Originally, Bucky Barnes was to continue to be detained by the New York Police Department yesterday and would be transferred to the custody of the New York FBI today, but Minister Kelly called last night.
Bucky Barnes's whereabouts changed.
This time, Bucky Barnes will be escorted by Lake to the Department of Homeland Security headquarters on Brassage Avenue Plaza in Washington, D.C. for custody and interrogation.
Lake also happened to go to the headquarters to get acquainted with the place and, by the way, meet and have a chat with the official operations director of Homeland Security New York State to avoid any trouble caused by disagreements between the chief and deputy.
It's obvious.
Seeing that the transfer was hopeless, S.H.I.E.L.D. could only attack in a roundabout way. Who knows the purpose? Maybe it was to prevent Bucky Barnes from accidentally committing suicide during the interrogation.
An hour and a half later.
After Lecty pulled Bucky Barnes, who had spoken no more than three sentences since his arrest and was wearing a hood, off the plane, he directly took the car keys handed to him by an agent and took Bucky Barnes into the bulletproof car that had been prepared.
Five cars drove out of the airport and headed towards Brasgaard Avenue Plaza.
The headquarters of the Department of Homeland Security was converted from a former federal building. From a distance, it looks like a large piece of chocolate. The headquarters alone is large enough to accommodate 10,000 people for office work.
"beep!"
"beep!"
"beep!"
The alarm lights flashed, and with the falling of the iron bars, Bucky Barnes was successfully transferred to this room which was guarded by agents 24 hours a day and equipped with various surveillance equipment.
Lake was led by the agent to a conference room.
Come in.
Good job.
customs.
Langley.
Hoover.
Aegis.
Everything you need.
Lake shook hands with Minister Kelly as he came over: "Minister."
Kelly greeted Lake and met the heads of customs, Langley and the FBI one by one, and then came to Alexander Pierce from SHIELD, a man who looked a little old and wore glasses but looked quite kind.
"Chief Pierce."
"Agent Edwin."
Alexander Pierce smiled and shook Lake's hand: "Did you have a smooth journey?"
Lake looked at Alexander and smiled. "I originally thought the organization behind Bucky Barnes would find a way to kidnap him during this transfer. However, I seem to have miscalculated. It seems his organization has given up on him. What do you think, Chief Pierce?"
Alexander said, "Whether it's the Howard Stark case eleven years ago or this terrorist attack, the perpetrators have been apprehended. I believe that no matter how deeply the organization behind it hides, it will be uncovered."
Lake nodded: "I hope so."
All right.
Has Hydra truly cleaned up its mess and is planning to give up on the Winter Soldier, or does it have other plans?
pity.
No matter what you plan to do, this time, I will chop off one of your heads. I always take revenge, so you'd better pray that you don't have any tails to pull out. Anyway, you have nine heads. If I chop off one, there will be eight left. This number is very auspicious, eight hundred and eighty-eight, fortune and prosperity.
After Lake and Alexander let go of each other's hands, he thought so in his heart, and then glanced at Alexander Pierce intentionally or unintentionally.
Just right.
Alexander Pierce's gaze also fell over.
The corners of Lake's mouth curved up, revealing a smile that was quite meaningful.
Alexander's expression remained unchanged, but he frowned slightly in his heart.
Lake retracted his gaze and looked at Minister Kelly: "What should we do next, sir?"
Minister Kelly looked at Langley's director, Director George Tenet, who General Ross had just dealt with not long ago and who had angrily purged a wave of forces within Langley.
George Tenet and Lake nodded.
Lake replied.
George Tenet said, "Tomorrow morning, Langley's best intelligence interrogator will be here to conduct the interrogation."
Minister Kelly looked over and said, "The best?"
George nodded and said to the man he brought with him, "This is Sunil Bakshi, Director of our Overseas Operations Division 2. The intelligence interrogator is an agent under George."
Sunil...
Lake listened to the familiar name and looked seriously at the person he had not bothered to pay attention to just now because he was not qualified to introduce him.
This thing...
Looks like someone from Hydra, right?
…
Please give me a monthly ticket, give it to me, give it to me, give it to me quickly, bah bah bah!
