Chapter 7 The Cusp
"Oh my God!" When Fat Jack saw Link, he couldn't help but cry out in surprise.
At this time, Link looked extremely decadent, with a dull expression and a blank look.
"Are you alright, my boss?" Jack held Link's shoulder, then glanced at the people around him with a frightened look, and found that no one was paying attention to him, so he said, "Little boss, do you want me to call the TV station?" Or simply sue the FBI? ”
Link shook his head, his voice was hoarse, and he said weakly, "I just want to get a good night's sleep right now." ”
When Link wakes up again, he finds himself lying in a hospital room with two people on the couch next to him, one is Jack who is sleeping soundly, and the other is a young man in a suit.
"Hello, Mr. Link, I'm an FBI agent, and my name is Tom." Seeing Link wake up, the young white man named Tom begins to introduce himself.
"Hello, Tom." Link struggled to sit up, his back against the hospital bed. He rubbed his aching forehead and asked, "How did I end up here?" ”
"You just signed the residential surveillance paperwork and then passed out."
"Residential surveillance?" Link asked inexplicably.
"Yes." Tom nodded affirmatively: "Although you have been released, you need three months of residential surveillance, and I am the one in charge of monitoring you." ”
Link sneered: "Then we will go to the toilet together, eat together, and sleep together in the future?" ”
Hearing the displeasure in Link's words, Tom shrugged his shoulders, "I'm only responsible for spying on you, not your wife's part." Moreover, I don't usually appear in your field of vision, just silently spy on you where you can't see, you are still the usual you, just continue to do what you have to do. ”
Just because of a phone call, Link experienced so many things in one day, and although he was wronged because of this, he did not regret his original decision.
There was nothing to talk about between the two, and after saying hello, Tom left the room.
"Fatty, don't sleep." Link was angry when he saw him, grabbed a hospital brochure from the bedside table and threw it away.
"Ah, what's going on?" The fat man woke up and shouted in a panic.
"If you don't wake up, something is really going to happen."
Seeing that Link's expression was not good, Jack squirmed and moved his huge ass.
"My boss, it's great you're awake."
"Don't talk nonsense yet, how long have I been asleep, and how is the TV station?" The TV station is what he is most concerned about right now.
"Oh, you've slept all day, and it's 2:11 p.m. on September 13th. There is nothing wrong with the TV station. Fat Jack yawned.
"What do you mean it's okay?" Link said angrily.
"Linda is still doing live broadcasts on the TV station, and she is waiting in shifts at the Financial Center, by the way, not long after you left, the Pentagon was attacked by missiles, and there were also car bombs near Capitol Hill and the White House, and we also reported it as soon as possible."
"Also, the Twin Towers have collapsed. ABC and FOX each had a few minor injuries, and only one of our reporters had minor injuries. However, it is estimated that few of the people in the Twin Towers will survive. ”
"May the Lord bless." Link made a prayer gesture and said, "How's the CAA ratings going now?" ”
Fat Jack rubbed his face and said a little decadently: "It's not good, the number of viewers has been declining, just now the people in the station called, and now it has dropped to three million." ”
Link nodded: "I've thought of this for a long time, but it's okay, everything will be fine, won't it?" ”
"Uh...... I'm afraid it's going to be a little difficult to get better. Jack said with a slurrel.
"What's going on?" Link was a little surprised.
"That's it...... A large crowd of reporters gathered at the entrance of the hospital. ”
"Journalists?" Link was stunned: "Why did the reporter come to the hospital?" Is it an injury report? ”
"I'm afraid not, but I'm here for you, boss." Jack said helplessly.
"For me? What ...... I have" Link suddenly realized that he was the first reporter of "911", and was taken away by the FBI, I am afraid that those reporters really came for him.
After completing the formalities, Link had just walked out of the hospital gate when he saw a large number of reporters armed with "long guns and short guns" swarming and surrounding him.
"Mr. Link, may I ask if you really have anything to do with the World Trade Center crash at 11?"
"Mr. Link, did you really receive a subpoena from the FBI?"
"Mr. Link, do you have anything to say about the loss of life at the World Trade Tower?"
"Mr. Link,.................."
Link's expression was numb and he was protected by Fat Jack, and he used his huge body to finally squeeze it out. As soon as he got in the car, the fat man couldn't help but complain: "Until today, I realized that my two-hundred-pound body is still somewhat useful." ”
As Jack starts the car, the two finally get on the road to CAA.
"Hi Bobs." As soon as Link sat down, he received a call from Bobbs.
"Hi Link, interested in attending an interview?" Bobbs said in a teasing tone.
"**, I'm in trouble enough now." Link couldn't help but scold.
"I'm telling the truth, you have to think about it, this is a great opportunity to promote your CAA TV." Bobbs said with a little meaning.
Link was slightly stunned, and then his tone became kind: "Oh, I suddenly found out that I really need an interview, right on Jamie's talk show, what do you think?" ”
"Link, I have to say, you're so cunning." Bobbs laughed.
"To each according to his needs, you know." Link hung up the phone, and then said to Jack, who was driving, "Fatty, go to the ABC TV building." ”
Bobbs's meaning was clear, and Link understood it instantly. ABC needed extended coverage of 911 and the most valuable newsmakers as guests, and Link was the one they needed.
As for Link, he also needs more opportunities to appear on camera to get the American people to pay attention to him and his CAA TV.
………………
The latest episode of "Jamie Talks about America" aired on ABC's evening news that day.
"Mr. Link, you have been a 'super idol' in the United States these days, and almost all of my colleagues around me are talking about Link, what do you think?"
Both parties are old acquaintances, and Jamie's talk show is a relaxed chat style, so Jamie also said jokingly.
"Oh yes, thanks to the reporters who almost squeezed me out, they were so 'enthusiastic.'" Link made a helpless gesture.
"But when people say you're a terrorist and involved in 911, do you think they're talking nonsense?"
The United States has officially designated the "World Trade Center Plane Collision Case" as a terrorist attack, codenamed "911 Incident"!
"No, they're not talking nonsense." Link paused deliberately, and Jamie's horrified expression turned grim.
"It's it's-bull-**. )。 ”
Jamie breathed a sigh of relief and smiled dryly, "Haha, Mr. Link is really good at joking." ”
……
The two talked a lot on the show, mostly about some recent rumors and the fact that Link was taken away by the FBI to investigate.
Link changed his style of life, and his tone was very tough, expressing his dissatisfaction strongly.
As the show drew to a close, Jamie threw another bombshell question.
"Mr. Link, is it true that you knew what was going to happen before '911'? Or is it ...... bull-**? ”
Jamie understands that this cannot be avoided, and although he and Jack are currently on good terms, for the sake of ratings, he has to ask. And this is also the question that the audience wants to hear the most, so he tries to ask a lot more easily.
"No, it's all true." Link retold what he said at the FBI, and he said it on purpose, just to get enough of the conversation.
With a topic, more people will pay attention to him, and then pay attention to his CAA TV station.
