Chapter 200: Chapter 199 Key Figures
Yang Yi really had no interest in interrogations, so he sat in the living room fiddling with the newly acquired knife.
One could tell the knife was modified from an old one because the thickness was uneven along the handle, but after Charles affixed wooden patches onto it, the thickness became consistent.
Honestly, the knife Yang Yi got looked rather plain, even crude, but as he practised various motions with it in hand, the somewhat rustic knife seemed to perfectly match his desires.
As Yang Yi played with his knife, Brian walked out of the bathroom.
Charles immediately stood up, his face serious, "How did it go?"
With a tired sigh, Brian whispered, "He confessed everything. He’s a mercenary broker named Hamilton, not CIA, nor FBI, but he has very close connections to the CIA."
Charles, full of concern, asked, "Then, who is he employed by?"
Brian’s expression soured before he replied softly, "Hamilton has a very close relationship with a person from the CIA named Sommer Camp. Camp doesn’t hold a very high rank, but he oversees many operations in the Middle East."
After pondering for a moment, Charles frowned, "I don’t know this person; I’ve never heard of him. A pseudonym?"
Exhaling, Brian shook his head, "Not a pseudonym, a real name. However, Sommer Camp is only 32 years old. Affairs the CIA finds inconvenient to handle personally in the Middle East, and security services the CIA requires are entrusted to Camp, who in turn partially outsources some to Hamilton. Thus, Camp is Hamilton’s biggest benefactor."
Charles said, "Only 32 years old, not from our era, so the person wanting you dead will be Camp’s superior."
Brian nodded, "Yes, but Hamilton doesn’t know who Camp’s superiors are, or else there are many superiors for Camp. To find out whose order Camp followed to take us down, we must find Camp."
Charles looked upset, his voice low, "That means the trail ends with Camp, unless we can get answers from Camp himself, but right now, going after a CIA’s regional director seems too risky."
In a low voice, Brian said, "Sommer had been in touch with Hamilton a long time ago. He found a Mercenary Group called War Hammer."
Looking at Yang Yi, Brian shook his head, "Let me explain in detail. The day after our escape, Hamilton received a call from Sommer instructing him to find a suitable Mercenary Group for a task, which was to find and eliminate me.
Sommer has been continuously providing Hamilton with intelligence. Hamilton found a Mercenary Group called War Hammer. Charles, Hamilton has been on standby near your house; Sommer knew I’d come to you. So Hamilton and the War Hammer Mercenary Group have been lingering near your home, with the duty of relaying intelligence to them."
Yang Yi’s heart lifted because he wanted to know if his surveillance had malfunctioned, while Charles shouted, "Someone has been monitoring me? Impossible!"
Brian exhaled, "No one tailed you, no one approached you; they just used a lot of new technology. Your calls were intercepted, cameras tracked your movements. When Paul went to your house waiting for you to show up, you two were being watched."
Charles fell silent for a moment, then with a disheartened face, said, "I didn’t notice anyone tracking me."
In a low voice, Brian said, "An organization called Hawkeye, not CIA, but they often take outsourced tasks from the CIA, providing them with intelligence collection services. In other words, they are external personnel for the CIA. These guys returned to the United States from Syria the fourth day after my escape."
Charles said in a low voice, "I didn’t know the CIA has started outsourcing intelligence collection. Has the CIA fallen to such a degree?"
Brian whispered back, "Whether it’s a decline or not, the CIA we know has changed. Let me continue. Hamilton and War Hammer Mercenary Group were always nearby, but out of your line of sight. As soon as Hawkeye spotted you and Paul, War Hammer immediately attacked. Their goal was clear—they wanted to eliminate me."
Charles exclaimed fervently, "Let’s follow this lead! Boss, we can root out the person hiding behind all of this!"
Brian glanced at Charles, shook his head slightly, and said helplessly, "Just the three of us? Charles, I haven’t become cowardly, but the three of us truly can’t stand against the CIA. We took out War Hammer Mercenary Group, and Yang Yi caught Hamilton, but they are just minor characters, mere tools that Sommer can use. Killing the tools is pointless."
Charles’s face looked terrible, but he still nodded and said, "Yes, we stand no chance, and Hawkeye didn’t sustain any damage. I’m worried they are still monitoring me."
Brian nodded and said, "That’s possible, really possible. So, this place has now become unsafe too."
After speaking, Brian hesitated, then still whispered to Charles, "I’ll be frank, buddy. Revenge and pulling out the mole who framed me aren’t actually in my plans. Right now, I just want to find Kate. I’m sorry, this might disappoint you, but all I want is to find Kate. I don’t want any accidents stopping me, so now isn’t the time to start a war."
Charles asked in a low voice, "Can’t you forget that woman?"
Brian nodded firmly and said solemnly, "I’m sorry."
Charles waved his hand dismissively and sighed, "We’re getting old, boss. I understand how you feel. If you don’t act quickly, you might never have the chance to find her."
"Thank you for understanding me, Charles."
"Let’s not talk about that."
Charles shook his head and said, "Let’s not talk about that. I just want to know, if you’re not willing to go after the mole now, then what about after you find Kate?"
"Then I will definitely give it my all to root out the mole, not just for me, but also for you and the others who’ve been involved because of me."
Charles said immediately, "That’s all I need to hear. The most important thing right now is to leave the United States. We can’t accomplish anything here, but I don’t have the means to take us out of the country. Since we are already in the sights of the CIA and Hawkeye, we must seek help."
"Is there anyone who can help us?"
"I know someone, Mike from Intelligence. Mike Smith, remember him?"
"Mike Smith? I remember him. What about him?"
"After the Middle East Division suffered heavy losses because of your betrayal, he left the CIA, but he kept dealing in intelligence. More importantly, he’s in Los Angeles. Since you’ve been made a scapegoat, Mike might be willing to join us in pulling out the mole, and he has the capability to help us."
Just as Brian was about to reply, Yang Yi carefully interjected, "Did you just mention Mike Smith?"
