After Jimmy returned to New York and had a small three-person meeting with Hughes and Mahone, Hughes really didn't make up his mind to let Jimmy go across the state to run errands, so he had to be patient for a while.

However, Jimmy's feeling of grief did not last long, and he received a text message from Tom that night, Jimmy left the apartment, and instead of driving, he walked to Central Park.

Jimmy's apartment is on the Upper West Side, not far from Central Park, so you won't have a problem walking.

On a bench in Central Park, Jimmy sat and waited for a few minutes before Tom arrived and sat down next to him.

Tom: "Jimmy, have you ever thought about taking advantage of this opportunity to leave the CIA?" ”

Jimmy nodded, "I don't have any special feelings about the CIA, you know, I've been in the police and the FBI all the time. He was looking ahead, but suddenly turned his head to look at Tom and asked suspiciously, "Why did you say this all of a sudden?" ”

Tom: "It's nothing, I've already checked the matter this time." ”

Tom looked left and right, and there weren't many people in Central Park at night, at least there was no one around, and there were no surveillance cameras or anything like that.

Tom: "It all started with Project Stumbling, and the CIA worked with a national team to launch Project Stumbling Block, which was a covert program that used drugs to enhance the physical and mental strength of agents, while training them in various skills, and then they would be sent abroad to enter a stealth state, and when there was a mission, it would be activated to carry out the mission.

The project's drug provider is a pharmaceutical company that supplies drugs in development, which has resulted in agents experiencing anomalies such as amnesia and insanity, the best of which is Bourne.

Something happened on Bourne's side, and he was cleared by the company, after which he returned to New York, entered the Anti-Terrorism Bureau and the training center, and exposed the Black Heather Project, which led to the CIA earthquake, which was the news some time ago.

At the time of these events, Rick, the head of the national research and analysis team of the initiator of the Stumbling Block Project, arranged for the agent removal plan in order to avoid the exposure of the fact that they were experimenting with unfinished drugs with agents, and the agents of the Stumbling Blocks and Black Heather Project were all in the removal sequence, and you were targeted by them.

From the clues we have obtained so far, they should have arranged the two previous ambushes on you. However, it seems that they have ceased their operations since then, and there is no sign of continuing. ”

Jimmy: "I don't know about them, is it hard?" "If it weren't for the fact that it was difficult to do, I guess Tom would have done it himself, and he had worked a lot in the past few years to kill himself.

Tom shook his head: "It's difficult, they don't have many of them, but they have a lot of agencies to work with, I don't know if there are other agents planning to do it, these will take a long time to investigate." ”

Jimmy: "I'm believing in what you're investigating, but there's something wrong right now. I was sniped again the other day, and in the middle of the night, I got a call from the gunman's cell phone, it was a lobbying agency in Washington, DC, where a clerk was missing, and he had a house of worship, and now DHS and the FBI are suspected of having something to do with one of my previous serial bombings. ”

Tom turned his head to look at Jimmy, "Another new attack?" When? ”

Jimmy reported the time, and Tom shook his head: "At that time, they hadn't left the command center yet, and nine times out of ten, they arranged it, probably misleading you." ”

Jimmy: "I see, let's keep an eye on them, but I can't tell the bureau about this situation, there's so much stuff here that doesn't matter to us." ”

Tom: "I can't help it, I guess you'll have to deal with it yourself." ”

Jimmy looked up at the sky, the sky in New York was far less clear than it was in Little Rock, and the moon and stars were somewhat dotted.

Jimmy: "Well, it's hard to deal with, and unless I abandon my current identity and act on my own, I can't discuss these things openly with them." ”

Tom patted Jimmy on the thigh, "It's up to you, if you decide to give up revenge, I think I can find someone to talk to over there." ”

Jimmy shook his head: "It's not my character to give up revenge, I'll think about it." ”

Tom picked up the briefcase in his hand and put it on his lap, opened it and took out a folder and handed it to Jimmy, "Here is some information I found, if you really don't want to give up, take it back and take a look." Remember to destroy. ”

Jimmy: "Okay, I guess this probably won't happen right away, if they don't attack me anymore, then take your time, if they don't stop, I think I'll go and kill them right away, even if I fight to go to jail." ”

Tom shook his head: "I don't think it should be for the time being, they have been arranging all the tasks in a command center under the Ministry of Defense, and they have been evacuated from there two days ago." ”

Jimmy: "Okay, thank you, Tom, for so long for my business. ”

Tom didn't speak, but was in a daze, and Jimmy was waiting.

Tom: "I think it's almost time for me to retire. ”

Jimmy: "Are you going back to Kentucky?" ”

Tom: "No, I'll probably go to Florida for retirement, and we'll see." ”

Jimmy: "Why don't you go to Little Rock first?" James misses you a lot. ”

Tom: "Let's talk about it. I'll go back first. ”

Tom picked up his briefcase and got up, and after taking two steps he stopped, and Jimmy looked at him and asked, "What else?" ”

Tom turned back to the bench and sat down, he looked at Jimmy, "I told you before that your mother is Veronica Durand, do you remember?" Are you interested in learning more about her family? ”

Jimmy nodded, "Of course, I inherited this identity, I can understand them, and I can also avoid accidents later." ”

Tom nodded, and relayed the words of his teacher, Mrs. Waltz, to Jimmy. "There's something that has no evidence, only speculation, and I thought maybe I should tell you that Veronica's death may not be what we think she is. Considering the death of her father's family, this probability is very high. ”

Jimmy's mind is a little confused, how can there be conspiracy theories, and what the hell is this broken identity? The front was passively entered and cleared, and now there is another person who is staring at their family to chase and kill?

Jimmy: "How did Jimmy die before that?" Could it be that the same Greg you said it did? ”

Tom shook his head: "I'm not sure anymore, because it's all solo on missions, and I just know the outcome." Anyway, I've said everything I know, and the rest is up to you. ”

Jimmy nodded, "Thanks, Tom." Without you, maybe I would never know these things again. ”

Tom sighed, "Okay, that's all, I'll go back." Don't contact me lately, I'll walk around and I'll let you know when I'm settled. ”

Jimmy: "Okay, have a nice trip. ”

——

Jimmy went back and looked at the information, and put it aside, Tom's investigation was very detailed, and these contents were very troublesome for Jimmy now, mainly because there was no way to make it public, and there was no way to turn the direction of Ma Hong's investigation.

During work hours, Jimmy came to the office early, and today he is going to find time to talk to Hughes and Mahon, now they have the wrong goal, but Jimmy doesn't plan to say it, saying it will have too much impact, and he doesn't know what will happen later.

He wanted them to agree to go to New Mexico to investigate Scott, who was behind the attack in the first place.

But before Jimmy could tell Hughes and Mahon that two DHS agents had come to Mahun.

DHS agents offered to return to Washington, D.C., after recounting the current progress of the investigation, and the current clues are not enough to support the continuation of the investigation of the bombing mastermind, Noor, and the investigation of the missing lobbying company employees has stalled, and there is little point in them continuing here.

Mahon was also surprised, and he asked the agents to wait for a while, and then went to find Hughes. Hughes thought about it and agreed, and when the DHS agents left, Hughes called Jimmy and them to a meeting.

Hughes: "The attack has been going on for a long time from the beginning to now, we can't spend all our time on this case indefinitely, and now the intelligence given by DHS has confirmed that the subsequent attack was done by Nur Mohammed, so it won't be solved for a while, I think we should put it aside for the time being, and deal with the normal case first." ”

Ma Hong nodded, this case made him very tired, there was no direct evidence in this series of attacks, it all relied on a little bit of piecing together clues to investigate, and even many clues were obtained by Hughes through personal relationships, whether it was true or not also needed to be checked, and the mental pressure when dealing with clues was very high.

Jimmy: "Hughes, I'd like to take a trip to New Mexico. ”

Both Hughes and Mahon looked at Jimmy, and Jimmy: "The Scott family in Albany says he's in Los Angeles, but the phone location shows that he's in Albuquerque, plus Azte on the border, I suspect this Scott is the white glove of the councillor, the mastermind of the first two attacks." ”

Hughes looked at Mahone: "Mahone, what do you think?" ”

Mahon: "There are not enough reasons. ”

Hughes: "Jimmy, do you have to go?" ”

Jimmy nodded, and Hughes thought for a moment, "You need a reason." ”

Jimmy: "There's one guy we didn't catch in the last Sisley prison escape, Cameron Brown, and there's been no news since he escaped. ”

Hughes nodded, "I just need one reason, you can do it yourself." ”

Jimmy looked at Ma Hong, and Ma Hong also nodded: "Don't worry about the bureau, but the reason needs to stand up to scrutiny, you won't forget about the OPR side, right?" ”

Jimmy: "I understand, I'll deal with it." ”

The three of them were talking in Hughes's office, and they didn't pay much attention to anything, and there were no outsiders.

Jimmy left Hughes' office and began to think about what to do.

On the southwest side, it seems that people who know each other, the most available in the southern states are Little Rock and Dallas, and New Mexico has never been there.

Jimmy regretted it, he had already told Tom that he was in charge of that part of the business before, and he would be more or less familiar, even if he was dead on the surface, the interpersonal relationship would still be a little bit.

Jimmy counted the resources in his hand, and couldn't figure out who would be better. Jimmy thought about it, gritted his teeth, forget it, send a message to Tom first, wait for him to reply, if it doesn't work, ask Winston for help, he must have some resources on the surface.

With the plan in mind, Jimmy texted Tom's phone and threw it in a drawer to wait.

The case was temporarily suspended, and Mahon and the others were busy for a long time, Jimmy thought for a moment and invited everyone to the bar for a drink. Mahon and Felicia, of course, had no problem, and Jimmy went out to find someone else, and then called Woody and asked him to reserve a table.

Yes, the bar has been taken down, and when Jimmy was shot and stayed in the hotel, the negotiation of the transfer of the bar had been completed, and under the witness of the lawyer, Jimmy signed the transfer agreement with the original owner and successfully took the bar.

The biggest contributor to this negotiation is Diego Isaac, the bar manager recommended by Justin, Jimmy only participated in the final signing, and he was basically communicating in the early stage, of course, Woody also contributed to it, the inner ghost is hated by everyone, of course, if it is to help himself, it is a hero.

After work, several people drove out of the office and went to the restaurant next to Jimmy's apartment for dinner before heading to the bar.

Woody: "Good evening, boss. ”

Jimmy waved his hand: "I'll invite my colleagues to have two drinks, you can prepare." ”

When Isaac heard that Jimmy had arrived, he also came out to toast everyone, left his business card and returned it.

Jimmy picked up his glass: "Thank you all for your hard work on my case during this time, a toast to everyone." ”

There weren't many people here today, Hughes, Ruiz, Peter and Mahon, Felicia, except for Peter, everyone else has been delaying a lot of normal work for Jimmy lately, and they are heartbroken, and now that the case is suspended, two drinks are just enough to relax.

Peter: "Jimmy, is this bar yours?" ”

Jimmy smiled and nodded: "It's right next to my apartment, and I usually come a lot of times." This time, the ex-boss was leaving New York, so I went ahead. It's not a lot of money, and it's not going to be a loss. Woody is a great bartender, you can come and have a drink or two when you're fine. ”

Everyone also had a strange smile on their faces, everyone here knew that Jimmy was the richest among the agents, with an income of 1.8 million yuan a year, and a normal junior agent only had tens of thousands of yuan a year, even if a senior agent was only a hundred thousand yuan a year.

Of course, all of you here don't belong to the category of ordinary agents, although not as many as Jimmy, but they are not poor.

But Jimmy's behavior of buying the bar directly because of the number of times he came is really a bit unbearable, damn rich man.

After a drink, Jimmy beckoned Woody to bring another drink, and the few of them went their separate ways to chat. Jimmy sat next to Hughes, "Hughes, it may take a short time to go out this time, OPR over there......"

Hughes: "You can control the degree yourself, don't go too far." In addition, I would like to remind you that the reason must stand up to scrutiny. ”

Jimmy: "Well, I'm trying to figure it out. I'm just worried about whether it will affect the people in our office. ”

Hughes: "Don't worry, don't think about it so much, I'm not retired yet." ”

Hughes picked up his glass and touched it with Jimmy, then beckoned to everyone: "I'm not going to stay, don't drink too much." ”

After drinking the wine in the cup, Hughes left. Well, the boss is really not comfortable when he is here, and the rest are senior agents and regulatory agents, and they are all acquaintances, so there is no pressure.

——

After a few people finished drinking, they went back, and Jimmy got home and contacted Torsten in the DEA's Dallas office, and he had previously provided information about Aztec's second-in-command, Tim Spark, but Jimmy didn't have time to go over at the time.

This time it is mainly possible to involve Azt, so make an appointment and meet to have a good chat when the time comes.

Tolsten casually agreed when he received the call, just call him in advance when he goes.

At about 12 o'clock in the evening, Tom finally called back, Jimmy roughly said the situation, Tom left a mobile phone number and name, and when Jimmy arrived, he could contact him directly.

Sure enough, he was the director in charge of the southwest business at the beginning, and he had a lot of resources in his hands. But the only bad thing is that this man can't give him a reason to go to the southwest.
