besides...
George Tenet snorted coldly and said to Sunil Bakshi who was being guarded in the chair: "What do you want to say?"
Sunil spread his hands and shook his head, "Sir, I have nothing to do with Evelyn Short."
He is still very confident in saying this.
He is a Hydra man, not a deep-seated spy in the Red Room.
Lake sat next to him and said, "Why don't you explain to us why you arranged for an interrogation expert with a mission to come here instead of someone else."
Sunil looked at Lake. "It's simple. Evelyn Short is the Russian analyst. When the DHS asked Langley for personnel, I naturally sent my most capable people."
Lake nodded: "The reason... is quite ridiculous."
"What?"
"Oh."
Lake snorted and looked at Sunil. "If you say that Director Bakshi's most capable subordinates are all bored sitting at their desks watching cooking shows, then I have nothing to say."
Paused.
"besides!"
Lake drummed his fingers on the table. "Even I didn't know who was behind Bucky Barnes at first. How could Director Bakshi be so sure that Bucky was behind the Russians? Tell me, I'm curious."
Sunil frowned and said, "This is what the DHS told Langley."
Lake looked at Minister Kelly: "Sir, you asked for that?"
Minister Kelly didn't say anything, but just shook his head and laughed.
Lake looked at Sunil Bakshi. "Don't look for someone to blame. Look for me. I've been in charge of this case from beginning to end, including contacting Langley and the FBI. I was the one who directly contacted Director Tenet and the Attorney General. So, if you listen to the DHS's request, it's me. It's strange. I don't remember mentioning this request to Director George Tenet. Director, did I?"
George Tenet's face was grim.
Sunil Bakshi was speechless.
Lake chuckled and said, "Director Bakshi, you blew yourself up, did you know that?"
Lake didn't think about this question at first.
After all, Lake knew that the Winter Soldier was rescued by people from the former Soviet Union, so he subconsciously thought that it would be better to find an interrogation expert from Russia for the Winter Soldier.
but...
Lake thought about it carefully. He seemed to have never asked Langley or the FBI for a special Russian interrogation expert.
Um.
Sunil Bakshi made the same mistake as Lake. When he heard Director George Tenet's call for support from Homeland Security, he subconsciously thought that DHS was looking for a Russian expert.
reason?
Maybe when they sent the Winter Soldier to prepare the gift, they asked him to reveal his relationship with Russia at a specific time or under a specific interrogation.
pity...
Since Bucky Barnes was arrested, Lake had only met him once at most. Since he knew from the beginning that Hydra was the mastermind behind the incident, he was too lazy to play any violent interrogation games.
Lake looked at Sunil, who was sitting with his head down. "So, Director Bakshi, be honest. Maybe you can get and..."
The words were not finished.
Sunil immediately jumped up.
"Crack!"
"Bang!"
"ah!"
Lake pulled out his gun in a second and stretched his right hand directly to the waist of an agent who had just stood up, and a big hole was broken in Sunil's right hand who had just pulled out half of the gun.
Sunil instantly raised his hands and screamed.
The two startled agents came to their senses and regained control of Sunil.
Minister Kelly, the Attorney General, and Commissioner Langley were also shocked.
Lake, sitting in a chair, blew on the smoking muzzle of his gun and looked at Minister Kelly and the other two: "Are you all right, sirs?"
The first person to come back to his senses was John Kelly.
Minister Kelly waved his hand.
George Tenet and the Attorney General also regained composure on their faces.
"That's good."
Lake said this, stood up, and looked at the CIA director George Tenet: "Director Tenet, I want this person too, can you give it to me?"
George snorted coldly, still directed at Sunil.
Get up.
George said to the Attorney General and Secretary Kelly, "I'm going to report to the President. Would you two like to join me?"
Minister Kelly and the Attorney General looked at each other, nodded, and stood up: "Of course."
This time it was the Department of Homeland Security that discovered the problem.
The one that has no problem is the FBI.
The problem is the CIA.
However, the problem was with the middle and senior level CIA personnel, not the top level. Moreover, Secretary Kelly and the Attorney General did not intend to do anything to George. After all, they had been good friends for many years, and it was clear when they could fight and when they needed to make peace.
soon.
The three department bosses left the meeting room immediately.
Lake said to the two agents who were restraining Sunil, "You guys go out first."
The two agents looked at each other. "Sir."
Lake didn't say anything.
The two agents were silent for a moment, released Sunil, and walked out of the conference room door.
The conference room door closed.
Lake placed the pistol on the table, stood up, walked to the window of the conference room, and watched Minister Kelly and the other two leave the building and drive away in their respective cars.
After a while.
Lake turned around, took out his old-fashioned phone from his pocket, and threw it to Sunil, who was pressing his right wrist hard with his left hand: "Call your boss behind the scenes."
Sunil ignored the phone in front of him.
Lake sat down again.
"Alexander Pierce!"
"Daniel Whitehall!"
"Gideon Malik!"
"Baron Straker!"
"Arnim Zola!"
Lake recounted the big bosses of Hydra and looked at Sunil Bakshi who raised his head. "Look, just like I know Short very well, I also know you, or you all, very well. If you don't believe me, I also know which of these five big villains is your boss."
Sunil Bakshi's heart was like a force ten storm.
Ten seconds passed.
Lake chuckled. "Daniel Whitehaw, impressive, and...his favorite general. Let me see what else he has..."
Sunil's eyes suddenly narrowed and he looked at Lake: "You are an alien."
"I prefer to be called Professor X!"
Lake gibberishly said, tilting his head: "I committed a crime when I was a kid, then joined the army. Later, oh, I was kicked out of the army because of my violent tendencies, and then I met Daniel..."
Sunil gritted his teeth and said, "Get out of my head!"
Miscalculated.
They all miscalculated.
It turns out that this guy is an alien who can read people's minds.
call out!
Lake raised his chin and moved his pistol in front of Sunil and said, "It's up to you. You don't dare to call your boss, but you can drill a hole in your head so that I can't steal your secrets."
Sunil grabbed the pistol quickly and loaded it: "I'll give it to you first..."
"Bang!"
"boom!"
"…"
