Chapter 50: At the Party
Croline introduces Colin, and although Colin already knows Jill's identity, she doesn't know that the two of them will be partners right away
Crolyn tells him that Jill was poached by her from SWAT, and that the new division of labor has changed somewhat
Colin's department is responsible for "counter-terrorism and homicide, as well as gang violence"
His group is only responsible for "counter-terrorism and homicide"
Colin is the team leader, and this team leader actually doesn't have much power, but he is responsible for reporting to the big boss of Croline
There is also a group leader for "Anti-Gang Violent Crime" is Sean Byron
At present, the head of the department is vacant, and Alan Albert was supposed to be in charge, but I didn't expect this guy to say that he wanted to retire recently
Also, he is 66 years old and should retire, and after he retires, the anti-fraud and economic crime department will have a new head agent
Bork is hopeful of a bit of competition, so now the FBI is in short supply
Fortunately, the second division is currently the new favorite of the Minister of Justice, and the funding is very sufficient, and it is not difficult to recruit people
Sean Byron is the former team leader of the Gang Violent Crime Section of the New York Branch
Now that counter-terrorism and homicide and gang violence are integrated, he has become the team leader in charge of gang violence
To be honest, Sean Byron still has some resentment, the head of the department is vacant, and he thinks he can take a step forward
Unexpectedly, Croline directly stopped this matter, and Croline is currently in charge of the head of the department
While Colin was chatting with Crolyn, Mayor David Palmer arrived
Although Crolyn and Palmer are not familiar with each other, they are also members of the book club, and the two still talk very cordially
What's more, it is necessary to have a good relationship with the mayor when working in New York
After all, the federal government has limited binding power on each state, and county officials are not as good as they are now
At this point, all the people invited by Colin came, and the lady was led by Eve to visit Colin's villa or play in the pool by herself
At this time, the doorbell rang again, and the camera at the door projected directly onto the system panel
An unexpected but reasonable guest, Rick Kasol and his NYPD friends
Because Alex was coming, Colin informed Casor again, knowing that the old boy would definitely come
So he deliberately didn't invite him, but he didn't expect him to come with his friends, is it a group to smash the field
Colin directly asked Xiaowen to open the door
"Where's Alex" Cassel's brow furrowed into a pimple, indicating that he was very upset
Colin ignored him, and opened his arms to give a hug to Beckett, who was dressed a little cool
"Welcome, Kate, I would have invited you personally if I knew your number"
"Oh, thanks, we're here uninvited this time" Beckett was a little confused by Colin's enthusiasm
Casor next to him said with a depressed face: "When did you become so familiar?"
Colin shook hands with the black and white duo behind him, Espositto and Ryan
welcomed everyone into the courtyard, and the black and white scars who entered the courtyard were immediately attracted by the models in the pool
"Dad, why are you here?" There was a cry of surprise from the pool
Alex was swimming in the pool at this time in a very conservative girly swimsuit
"Oh my God...... Alex ...... What are you wearing...... God" Kasol was a little incoherent
The Guardian Girl Maniac attribute is simply bursting, in fact, there are more exposed little girls than Alex on the beach, not to mention that Alex is already an adult
Alex climbed up from the pool, and Casul immediately took off her coat to put it on Alex
Colin covered his face, this thing is crazy
Alex knocked off Cassel's coat in shame, snorted and turned to go inside
This little episode didn't affect the party
Ding Ding Ding, David Palmer held up a glass of champagne with a smile on his face and tapped it with a spoon to attract everyone's attention
"It's a pleasure to be at Colin's party, I have to say this guy is a genius, his books make me want to stop" he said, looking at Colin
Colin smiled and raised the whiskey in his hand at him, Colin likes to drink whiskey except beer
"First of all, let's congratulate him on his promotion to Senior Agent, I think he is capable of more than that, and I think in the near future, we will be celebrating his promotion here to the position of Head of Secret Service," Palmer unconsciously brought into speech mode
Everyone who was driven by him couldn't help but applaud
"Unfortunately though, I have to attend a conference, so I'm leaving early, and it's nice to meet everyone."
Saying that an hour is an hour, no more and no less, he has a strong sense of time
Colin sees Palmer off and the party continues
"Casul, this time you are too much, you have the most well-behaved daughter in the world, and you are not satisfied"
Beckett knew why Alex ran away from home and couldn't help but fight for Alex
"Yes, Alex is an adult, you should trust her," Colin said as he helped
It's still very enjoyable to slap this stinky fart guy in person
In fact, Casul's growth is very inspirational, raised by a single mother, naughty and mischievous since childhood, and the creation of novels has changed his life
From poor to rich, he started from scratch, so he is very proud of his achievements today
"She can go to my villa if she wants to swim, why should she come to you"
Colin was speechless, is this a matter of swimming, where can you not swim while swimming, Cassol also has a villa in the Hamptons
However, it is much smaller than Colin's family, and Cassol usually lives here, only when he is on vacation, or when he brings a woman to play
That dilapidated villa, not even a courtyard wall, is very unsafe
Of course, Colin also installed it himself, and he spent a lot of money for the courtyard wall
Colin smiled, "You have to be glad that she came to me instead of actually running away from home."
Cassor drank the champagne from his glass thoughtfully, his brow furrowed, and he had some idea
"I heard that your Nikki Hitt will be released tomorrow, how is it, do you have any confidence?"
The release dates of the two books are exactly staggered, Colin's Criminal Minds Series IV has been on sale for some time, and Series 5 is still in the works
The corners of Casul's mouth curled up, and he smiled proudly, picked up the whiskey next to Colin and poured himself a glass
"Just kidding, it's definitely me who is number one on the sales list this time"
I was most afraid that the air would suddenly be quiet, and the surroundings would suddenly be quiet, and everyone looked at Casor
"Hey, why are you looking at me like that, am I not right?" said Casul's face down
Esposito and Ryan staggered over from the pool
Ryan: "That's because you didn't release with Colin, you can't deliberately stagger the release, right?" ”
Ryan told the truth mercilessly, the novels written by the two are of similar genres, and it will inevitably become a PK state if they are released at the same time
Every time, Colin had a slight advantage, so when Casor said that, everyone reacted so unanimously
Cassol took a sip of whiskey and muttered depressedly: "It's the agent's decision to release one day, and I can't do anything if she wants to change the time."
It's true, he really doesn't care if it's released with Colin
Beckett, who was on the side, suddenly came to Colin's side and touched his glass, took a sip of champagne and said, "Agent Campbell, I heard that a new second branch has been established in New York, what kind of existence does it have, and what is the difference between it and the previous New York branch?"
