John Burrell

John Burrell is an agent of the NSA's rogue Zero Section, and younger brother of Peter Burrell. He kidnapped Simon on March 4, 1999, in order to attempt brainwashing of him, but the boy outwitted and overpowered him, Andrew Ridd, and Will Patterson while aboard a former Eastwind Airlines 727 controlled by Zero Section. The pilot, Henry Jones, landed the aircraft in Indiana, on a rural stretch of road just three miles west of the Ohio border under escort of a flight of F-16s from Illinois' Scott AFB. Shortly after landing, Simon was released back into FBI custody, marking Burrell's first mission for Donaldson and Zero Section a failure.
