The Wolf of Los Angeles.

Chapter 234 The fox’s tail is exposed
After receiving Tim's notification, Coulson didn't dare to stay any longer. He logged out of Twitter, got up and left the Internet cafe, and entered the Los Angeles International Airport with his bag.

Since 911/, security at North American airports has more than doubled in severity.

Coulson went to exchange his boarding pass, not using his real identity, but the passport that Tim provided him.

He made it through security and onto a flight to Puerto Rico.

In Puerto Rico, Coulson has an old lover who used to work in Hollywood as a small actress. She is beautiful and coquettish.

It is too boring to travel around the world alone, so Coulson plans to travel to Europe, Latin America and Asia with his old lover.

When this trip is over, he will retire peacefully.

Both Los Angeles and Puerto Rico are good places to settle down.

On the other side, after Tim informed Coulson to leave, he drove his Cadillac to the Burbank Hotel and turned into the underground parking lot.

Not far from the parking lot, Juan was sitting in a car, using a DV to record all the vehicles entering the Burbank Hotel parking lot and their license plate numbers.

Hawke called Campos and asked him to keep a close eye on Douglas Coster.

Campos judged that if the matter was really related to Douglas, the executor would most likely come to see Douglas after his failure.

The Burbank Hotel has underground parking, which is very effective for hidden entry and exit.

Campos simply used a crude method and had someone take photos of all the vehicles entering and leaving the Burbank Hotel, and then compared them with other aspects.

Juan was waiting at the entrance of the hotel's underground parking lot to take pictures.

Some people were standing near the exit taking photos.

While the FBI was still investigating the scene, Hawke's men had already taken action.

In the luxurious suite on the top floor of the hotel.

Tim met his immediate superior, Douglas, and said directly, "Boss, the operation failed."

Douglas was somewhat prepared for this and was not surprised. He asked, "What's going on now?"

Tim and his men are in Covina, and they keep sending us the latest news.

"Miller Collins drove his car towards Hawk Osmond, but was stopped by his driver. The former's car exploded violently, blowing the man and the car to pieces." Tim said quickly: "The mercenary team then took action. Hawk Osmond himself was extremely alert and avoided the gunfire. He and his bodyguards then launched a counterattack, and the mercenary team was completely wiped out."

Douglas asked, "Will that team contact you?"

Tim said: "No, the mercenary team came through a middleman, and the middleman is currently in Colombia."

He thought for a moment and then said, "The only person who can contact me is Coulson, but Coulson has already left North America."

Douglas has always trusted him and immediately said, "That's fine. You will still need to handle the follow-up matters."

Tim reminded, "Although there will be no evidence pointing to Blackrock, Hawk Osmond will definitely have some guesses. I suggest strengthening the defense around you. You are the key to our success."

These words sounded particularly comfortable, and Douglas would not take any risks. He said, "I have already dispatched a security team to guard me 24 hours a day."

He looked at Tim and said, "This plan has failed, but the desire for Twitter will not diminish. They will still push it forward, but at most they will be more restrained."

Tim understood what was meant and said, "I have successfully infiltrated Hawk Osmond and become his neighbor without arousing any suspicion. We can continue to develop this and perhaps there will be unexpected results."

"Okay, be careful." Douglas said, "Have all the relevant personnel stay dormant for the time being and do not take any other actions. Continue to observe the dynamics of Hawk Osmond and the FBI. Contact me in time if there is any situation."

"Yes." Tim stood up and left the suite.

He went downstairs and got into the car, followed another car out of the underground parking lot, and merged into the traffic on the road together.

In a car near the exit, a Mexican man was carefully photographing every car coming out of the underground parking lot.

…………

At the hospital, Hawke and Brian had already changed their clothes and, at Erica's request, underwent a simple check-up.

Both of them had some scrapes on their bodies when they fell and inhaled some smoke and ash, but their injuries were negligible.

After making sure that the two were fine, Erica felt relieved and kept making and receiving phone calls.

She said directly to the person on the other end of the phone: "My cousin, my boyfriend, was almost murdered in the street. I will get to the bottom of this matter!"

The person on the other side was her grandfather Paul Ferguson: "This matter has been taken over by the FBI. It is not within your jurisdiction. Please do not use the power of the Detective Bureau."

Erica felt that this was not enough: "Grandpa, they know who Hawke is, and they also know who Brian is, but they still took action. This is a provocation to us!"

Paul Ferguson said directly: "In this way, you can mobilize the people and resources of the family security company at will. Pay attention to the methods and don't do some things by yourself."

Erica hung up the phone and continued to call the security company.

Hawke was not idle either. He got Edward's examination report.

Apart from the skin injuries and a slight concussion, it's not a big problem.

Hawke asked Jerry and others who came from the company to go through the hospitalization procedures and keep watch over Edward 24 hours a day.

He entered the ward, glanced at Edward who was wearing a hospital gown, and said, "Have a good rest." Edward asked Jerry to lift the bed and asked, "Boss, who is the murderer? Have you found any clues?"

"Not yet." Hawke came to the bedside and said, "Don't worry about these. I'm already checking and there will be news soon."

There was a knock on the ward door, and Erica and Brian came in together.

The two of them came over specially to thank Edward.

The FBI has extracted the dashcam video from the bulletproof Mercedes, which clearly captured the situation at the time.

Erica looked carefully and found that if Edward hadn't been there, the exploding Toyota Corolla would have crashed directly into Hawke and Brian.

Ten minutes later, two security teams arrived.

One of the groups escorted Bryan away and headed directly to Woodland Hills.

Another six-man team is responsible for protecting Hawke's safety.

A hospital is a place with people coming and going, not a place to talk.

Hawke prepared to leave the hospital and find a safe and quiet place to live, analyze the information collected from all sides, and think about the next countermeasures.

Erica suggested, "Let's go to the Silver Lake community. The villas there are big enough and have been renovated. They have all the necessary security measures and a large amount of weapons and ammunition. They are also close to the police station and SWAT, so we can get support at any time if we are attacked."

Hawke agreed: "Okay, let's go to the Silver Lake community."

The two men once relied on security facilities and guns to fight off an attack by 21 Mexican traffickers and almost wiped out their opponents.

The group got into three bulletproof cars and headed straight for the Silver Lake community.

Raul, Guti and Morientes, still in two cars, followed behind.

When they arrived at the villa, the security system was fully activated, with people stationed in front and behind the villa. Erica also opened the weapons cabinet so that the stored guns could be accessed at any time.

Hawke temporarily borrowed the heavily guarded specimen exhibition hall as a temporary office.

In the exhibition hall, the huge brown bear specimen stands in the glass display case like a totem.

Hawke mobilized his men to search for information with all their might, especially from Douglas's side.

On Erica's side, the phone never stopped ringing.

Although the two men wanted to kill Douglas Coster, the most suspected person, the other party was staying safely in a place like the Burbank Hotel, and launching a direct attack would only put them in a passive position.

It even attracted crackdowns at the government level.

In the afternoon, Jennifer Huey called and said the FBI had made some discoveries.

As a member of the four-person team of Brian's future presidential plan, Hawke didn't hesitate to ask Jennifer, "What specific findings did you have?"

Jennifer said quickly, "We found some metal products in the wreckage of the car explosion. One of them may be a metal emblem on the clothes. The emblem is slightly deformed, but it is still recognizable. It looks like the logo of the San Diego Chargers."

"San Diego Chargers?" Hawke was very familiar with the name: "Are you sure?"

Jennifer said, "Please wait a moment. I'll have someone send the pictures to Erica's email."

Hawke waited a moment.

Erica opened the encrypted mailbox and refreshed it several times. A new email appeared. There were only a few pictures in the email, which were metal emblems taken from different angles.

She downloaded the image and found the San Diego Chargers logo on the Internet for comparison.

Hawke came over to take a closer look and said, "Yes, it's the Lightning team logo."

Erica looked at him and said, "If I remember correctly, you had an encounter with someone from the San Diego Chargers."

Hawke nodded: "Former San Diego Chargers star wide receiver Miller Collins."

Erica typed in Miller Collins' name, and a lot of related news appeared on the web page. The first one was about Miller Collins getting divorced and bankrupt, and becoming homeless after being released from prison.

“Miller Collins had every motivation,” she said.

Hawke was recalling something. A few days ago, the Savior mentioned Miller Collins. It seemed that he had saved the other party's daughter Dorothy on the beach and had a relationship with Miller Collins' ex-wife Maria.

The two seem to have started dating.

Hawke picked up his phone and called Edward, asking, "There's something. Think about it."

Edward quickly responded, "Boss, what do you say?"

Hawke asked, "Did Maria Collins tell you anything about Miller Collins?"

"Yes, I asked her about it." Edward recalled a little and said, "Miller Collins became a homeless person. Several of his former teammates bought a second-hand RV as his residence, which is similar to Frank's."

He paused, thought for a moment, and continued, "By the way, he lives in Hollywood. We have all been there. It's in the parking lot behind the Ackerman Charity Rescue Station."
