Jimmy drove to the vicinity of the hospital, bought a bouquet of lilies at the nearby flower shop and brought them into the hospital, and found James's hospital room at the information desk, and Jimmy walked over with the flowers.

James's ward is located in the VIP area on the 5th floor, of course, as the director, there must be no problem in enjoying this kind of treatment, anyway, it is not his own expense, Jimmy looks at the environment of the ward area, it should be safe, and most of the people in the surrounding wards are lying or sitting.

Jimmy walked for a while, and when he turned the corner, he saw a police officer in a county police uniform sitting outside a hospital room, fortunately, an acquaintance.

Jimmy: "Hey Jack, is James in this room?" ”

Jack turned to look at Jimmy, then stood up and hugged Jimmy, "Jimmy, long time no see, you came so fast." ”

Jimmy: "Well, I flew over when I heard the news, how was it inside?" ”

Jack: "I spent the night in the ICU after the surgery yesterday, and today I have been transferred here, and there is no life-threatening life. ”

Jimmy: "How did James get shot?" How many shots? ”

Jack: "Three shots, one in the side of the face, the right side of the face to the left corner of the mouth, one in the right arm, one in the right chest." Fortunately, it was sent to the hospital for surgery in time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. ”

Jimmy nodded, "Is there anyone else in there?" I'll go in and see James. ”

Jack: "Mrs. Baldwin is inside, the others have gone back, but James is probably still asleep by now." You go in. ”

Jack patted Jimmy's arm, turned and knocked on the door, opening the door to the ward, and Jimmy walked in.

James was lying on the hospital bed, with several bandages around his head, leaving only his mouth outside, his right arm was fixed on his right side and could not move, and his body was covered with a quilt, and he could not see the appearance of his chest.

Through a nearby door came an old lady, none other than James's wife.

Jimmy: "Mrs. Baldwin, I'm coming to see James. Jimmy stepped forward and handed the flower to Mrs. Baldwin.

Mrs. Baldwin took the flower and said, "Thank you, Jimmy." Thank you for coming to see him, but unfortunately, he just fell asleep. ”

Jimmy: "Well, I just came to see him, how is he now?" What do doctors say? ”

Mrs. Baldwin turned to look at the sleeping James, "His luck is good, it looks serious, but it doesn't hurt his heart, it's a blessing in misfortune." It's just that I'm going to have the scars on my face in the future, I hope he won't mind. ”

Jimmy also looked at James, thinking back to some days ago, and the two of them fell silent for a moment. After a while, Mrs. Baldwin turned her head to look at Jimmy, who didn't react, and still looked at James, but the expression that had been adjusted in the mirror before had been somewhat distorted.

Mrs. Baldwin: "Jimmy. ”

Jimmy came back to his senses and looked at Mrs. Baldwin, "Ah, sorry, I was distracted. ”

Mrs. Baldwin shook her head: "Don't think too much, I'm mentally prepared." Ever since he became a police officer, I've been thinking about when he will retire, I've been worried about his injuries, and now he's been shot, but at least he's still alive, maybe that's the fate of the police.

Jim told me that you had gone to the New York FBI, and I'm glad you came back to see him so soon. He's okay now, you don't have to worry, go back early, don't delay your business. ”

Jimmy shook his head: "I'm on vacation, and I happen to be in Texas, so I'm coming over quickly." Rest assured, Mrs. Baldwin, I'm fine. I'll go back first, there's still a lot of work to do to catch that bastard gunman. ”

Mrs. Baldwin continued to shake her head: "Don't worry, the police will investigate, go back and get some rest, you look tired and bad." ”

Jimmy nodded, "Okay, Mrs. Baldwin, then I'll go back first." Jimmy and Mrs. Baldwin hugged each other and left the room in good-bye.

Jimmy: "Jack, I'm here to keep watch, I don't know if there's any danger, you have to be careful, if someone has a shift, change shifts and rest early." Notify me of something. ”

Jack: "I know, Jimmy, don't worry. ”

Jimmy nodded and walked to the elevator.

After leaving the hospital, Jimmy went back to the county police headquarters first, and went back and forth in a big circle, and it was noon, and Jimmy was still hungry and had not eaten in the morning.

After having lunch in the small restaurant next to him, Jimmy returned to the county police headquarters, which was more familiar and had enough places for him to rest, although he was no longer a county police officer, but the people at the headquarters obviously did not treat Jimmy as an outsider, so he said hello and went directly into the lounge.

Not long after falling asleep, Jimmy's phone rang, Jimmy took out his phone and glanced at it, and answered: "Director Lambert, what's the matter?" ”

Lambert: "Jimmy, the bank robbery is out of business, and you can be back to work tomorrow." ”

Jimmy was silent for a moment and said, "Director Lambert, I want to take a few more days off, I'm not in Dallas right now." ”

Lambert: "Leave? The reason? Where are you? ”

Jimmy: "My old boss was shot yesterday, I just came to see him in Little Rock today, and I want to stay here for a few days before I go back." ”

Lambert didn't speak, but he heard the sound of tapping on the keyboard, maybe he was looking up the information, Jimmy didn't say anything more, just waited for Lambert to check the information.

Lambert: "How many days do you need?" ”

Jimmy: "A week, it should be enough." ”

Lambert: "Okay, that's a week, stay safe, and contact the Little Rock office if you need to, and I'll talk to Pete." ”

Jimmy: "Thanks, Lambert, I'll be careful." ”

Jimmy was woken up by the phone, looked at the time, and only slept for half an hour, since he had to do something, he had to rest now, he continued to lie down and rest, and recuperated before he could set off to investigate the clues.

Jimmy slept for two hours before he got up, perhaps because he had slept too much, and he was a little dazed, he looked at the phone in Little Rock, there were no missed calls, and he dialed Kag's number directly.

Karg predicted Jimmy's question, answered the phone and said directly: "Jimmy, don't worry, there is no news yet." ”

Jimmy: "Well, well, tell me if you have any clues, I know a lot of people here." ”

After hanging up the phone, Jimmy thought about it and called Hatten to confirm the news first, so as not to run in vain.

Jimmy: "Hatten, are there any results from the surveillance team's investigation?" ”

Hatten: "Well, we've found the car, and we're looking through other traffic footage to determine where he started and where he disappeared. ”

Jimmy: "How long will it take?" ”

Hatten: "Not sure, there are too many traffic videos, and they're working on it. ”

Jimmy: "Okay, I'll hear from you at the county police headquarters. ”

Hatten: "Is it convenient over there?" If not, come to the FBI office, there are a lot of free places here. ”

Jimmy: "It's okay, I've been working here for 2 years, so it's a little more familiar. Notify me as soon as there is news. ”

Jimmy hung up the phone, it was not a problem to wait here, he went out to find a map, and began to mark on the map James's route home from the headquarters, as well as the location of the shooting, since the fake license plate was used, indicating that the other party's goal was clear, and it was not an ordinary random shooting, then he must have observed it in advance.
