It is then that Alex is finally confronted by his mystery contact: Captain Cross. Cross explains to him that Randall will do anything to stop the infection from spreading -- even going so far as to nuke the area. He also says that Randall has a partner named Taggart. Taggart plans to evacuate from the city by way of helicopters. Alex manages to take out each of the helicopters by hijacking or destroying them, preventing Taggart from escaping by air.
