Chapter 614: SHIELD is also involved
The director of the CIA is now in a passive position.
There are too many factions within the CIA and it is too complicated.
In fact, he envied Catherine very much, who was in control of the overall situation as soon as she was transferred to the FBI.
It’s not that he didn’t work hard, but that Catherine found the right direction and clung to his thigh.
Luke, who has connections with the FBI, never causes trouble. Not only does he not let down his team at critical moments, but he is also very reliable.
Moreover, Luke also has considerable connections within the FBI.
His classmates at that time were at least small supervisors in branches in various states.
They are promising and even their superiors give face to Luke.
Most importantly, Luke doesn’t take credit.
Johnny and others are carrying out some supernatural missions in various places, which also requires support from local branches.
At least the finishing work needs to be done by someone.
Johnny and his gang have the same temperament as Luke, they only care about killing and not burying.
These achievements are recorded, and each time we go to a place, we give some credit to the local branch.
Most of the police stations owe Luke a favor.
So as soon as Catherine came on stage, she took the lead in reaching an agreement with Luke.
Naturally, the work of other branches becomes easier.
Principal Miranda was affected by Instructor O'Connor and was unable to move up.
But he remained as principal until his retirement.
Over the years, all the students who went abroad were trained by her.
Luke was still very grateful to Miranda.
Principal Miranda is at least sensible and a good principal.
But she is not a good official.
No matter what, Miranda also remembered Luke's favor.
As an outstanding student, Luke's later classmates have all heard of his great achievements.
Within the FBI, although no one knew which department Luke was from, everyone had heard of his name.
The head of the FBI's most mysterious department.
Now the director of the CIA has come to Catherine for help.
After all, the two were colleagues before, and now they are in a relationship of mutual support.
Because there is now the Department of Homeland Security to compete with them for funding, this has become a huge burden on the two traditional law enforcement agencies.
Catherine was also happy to get this guy's favor.
So, Luke was pushed out.
This is the FBI's bottom line.
The CIA director briefly spoke about the team that was carrying out the mission.
The IMF is an unrecognized task force of the US government.
Used to carry out some major overseas missions.
It is unrecognized, undocumented, and unsupported.
The team consists of a small number of members who are adept at completing seemingly impossible tasks under extreme circumstances.
This time it is still the case.
But the CIA director knew nothing about this group and could not pin all his hopes on it.
So, I came to Catherine for help.
When it comes to impossible tasks, Luke has never failed.
Although most of the missions were domestic, neither Paxton nor Catherine frequently used Luke's ideas.
The files in Luke's possession are only accessible to the FBI director himself.
They had seen the assignments on those cases that Luke had worked on.
At least Luke himself has dismantled several nuclear bombs, and on American soil.
If there hadn't been a similar incident, the director would not have planned to use Luke.
But this incident was different.
Because of the CIA's mistakes, US-Russia relations have reached a freezing point.
Just one step away from recalling the ambassador, the two countries would go to war.
The CIA knew it had fallen into a trap, but it had no way to explain it to Russia.
Because even after explaining it, the Russians wouldn't believe it.
The CIA finally figured out what was going on.
The radical elements of the Russian opposition had planned this long ago.
With the help of the CIA, he wanted to obtain information about extremists and stole a nuclear bomb launch briefcase when he sneaked into the Kremlin.
Then they put the blame on the CIA.
After explaining the cause of the incident, the CIA director wanted Luke to follow the IMF team to ensure that everything was safe.
If the IMF team really has problems or fails, Luke must get back the codes and the launch briefcase as a backup.
This is the only way to give an explanation to the Russian side.
As soon as the CIA director finished speaking, Catherine received a call.
After hanging up the phone, Catherine said to the two:
"SHIELD went to Moscow with the White House envoy. The envoy was attacked and killed by unknown persons."
Luke frowned.
"Why is SHIELD involved in this?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Lilith received a call.
"Boss, this is a call from Director Nick Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D."
Luke took the call.
Nick Fury said directly:
"Have you heard about what happened in Russia?"
Luke didn't answer his question, but asked him directly:
"Your SHIELD is still involved in this matter?"
Nick Fury ignored the teasing in Luke's tone and said directly:
"This is related to the stability of the international situation. There must not be a war between the United States and Russia, but the person I sent who was attacked has lost contact."
"According to my inference, this matter is related to Hydra."
Hearing about Hydra, Luke thought for a moment and asked him:
"Don't keep me in suspense. What do you want from me?"
Nick Fury was silent for a moment, then slowly said:
"I know you have secret channels and connections with the Russians. Can you ask them to cooperate with SHIELD in the investigation?"
Luke shook his head.
"That's impossible. Russia is a big country after all. It's good enough that they let you keep the office. It's impossible for you to participate in the investigation."
Nick Fury remained silent for a moment and then said:
"I'm going to ask Sophia to look for the missing Agent Barton. Can you use your connections to help her?"
Hearing this request, Luke sneered inwardly.
Nick Fury's good calculation.
First make a request that is impossible to meet, and then compromise, lower the standards and make another request.
Most people would actually agree to it.
But is Luke an ordinary person?
There is no way Nick Fury didn't know about the relationship between Sofia and Luke.
Even if he didn't know about what happened between Sofia and Luke in high school, he should have known about what Luke did to Sofia when she was undercover for Stark.
Honey trap? Not happening.
If Luke wants the beauty, he can do it himself.
The reason why Luke doesn't care about Sofia now is because he has subsequent plans.
Did Nick Fury think that if he let Sofia come forward, Luke would agree?
impossible.
"Tell me Agent Barton's mission and contact code, and I will find a way to find him."
Nick Fury thought about it for a long time and finally agreed to Luke's request.
Agent Patton went to Moscow with the White House envoy.
He lost contact after being attacked.
Patton is a man with some abilities.
It's impossible to be killed like this.
Most likely he was injured and hiding.
After ending the call with Nick Fury, he told Catherine and the others what happened.
Then the CIA director gave Luke all the information about the IMF team.
Luke didn't waste any time. He took the information and left Katherine's office with Lilith and Hela.
Luke also has his own office at the FBI headquarters.
It's just a symbolic decoration.
As soon as he returned to the office, Luke received a call from Carter.
Deke Shaw received a call from the group that had previously contacted Irving about the account settlement operation.
So, Deckard Shaw and Thom's team have to perform a drama of revenge for his brother.
At that time, the organization behind it will be uncovered based on Dyke’s cooperation with the other party.
The first person to go offline from Thom's team was naturally Han, who ran to Tokyo alone.
