472 Decisions
Hunting is nothing special, the time is not right, and they can only hunt some small animals, there is no excitement.
Jimmy didn't say anything more the whole time, just silently followed the two old men, except for a phone call in the middle and walked away for a few minutes. The two old men didn't talk about anything special, mainly talking about how Hughes's retirement should live, so Jimmy never knew what they were thinking.
Jimmy just received the call from Steven, Steven of Albuquerque DEA, although Jimmy was only away for a few days, but he did not leave Steven's attention, because the news from Mexico surprised him.
Barrio, the boss of Artez, committed suicide after a raid on his estate, killing more than two dozen armed security personnel, and the son of the mayor of Nuevo Laredo, who was visiting Barrio, was also shot.
The sensation caused by this incident in the underground world is not one or two points, and it has also made many gang bosses in the border cities of Mexico adjust their security and arrange for their families to leave, and even some gang bosses who have a relationship with Barrio went directly to their safe house to remotely command and avoid the limelight for a while.
It's really scary, according to the latest investigation, I originally thought that there was at least a special operations team of more than three people, but according to the results of some former police investigations, there should be only one person at the scene.
It is not a big problem to sneak attack a few security guards in the front, and many people can do it, but the gunfight between a dozen security guards in the back and the backyard, and the record of completely destroying the opponent without being injured really makes people have to be cautious.
This information was also obtained by DEA's informants in Mexico and passed on to DEA. As the office of the border state, the Albuquerque DEA office naturally got the information at the first time, and for others, this matter has little to do with them, at most it is to guess which agency did it.
But for Steven, he directly connected this massacre battle with Jimmy. The Tim that Jimmy investigated before was Artez's second-in-command, and he also got a suitcase after Jimmy's errand, and made a small credit with Hank.
If you can kill Tim and his men, it is not impossible for Jimmy to raid to Mexico to kill Boss Artez, and this incident proves how strong Jimmy from the CIA is.
Steven went out, found a place where no one was around, called Jimmy, didn't talk about anything specific, just made small talk, and then invited him to come back to Albuquerque when he was free, and then hung up.
Jimmy was actually a little surprised by this call, and a little confused, he had just come back from Albuquerque, and he had met with Steven and Hank before he came back, and went to school, why did he call again? But it's nothing, anyway, I won't go to Albuquerque for the time being, just leave a favor.
When Jimmy left to make a phone call, the two old men said something, but Jimmy didn't hear it at all.
After a while, they returned to the farmer's house, and the harvest was not very good today, and not a single large animal was seen, so they hunted a few wild ducks and a few marmots passing by, but this did not affect them from eating the roast, because the roast was already prepared early in the morning.
The barbecue was no longer Jimmy and the three of them, and the hired workers here on the farm were also involved. Although the farm is Lambert's, his family is not here, and there are only hired workers here on the farm, but from their relationship, Lambert, the old man, is not so harsh on hired workers, and their relationship is quite good.
After eating the barbecue, Jimmy took his leave and left, while Lambert and Hughes did not leave.
Looking at the Victorian Crown in the distance, Lambert said, "How's it going?" Has it been decided? ”
Hughes: "Not yet, you know, I'm retiring. ”
Lambert: "You've been talking about retirement for two or three years. ”
Hughes sighed and turned around and walked back to the living room, where the two sat on the couch and Lambert brought over two cans of beer from the side.
Lambert: "Haven't you decided who's going to take over?" ”
Hughes nodded: "That guy is tied up now, he cares too much about that advisor." ”
Lambert: "Is there an alternative?" ”
Hughes: "There are alternatives, but ...... You also know that it is Manhattan, in addition to business ability, the more important thing is to coordinate relationships, and other people's personalities and relationships are still a little different from Peter's. And even if it is compared to performance, after having Neil's assistance, Peter's breakage rate has reached more than 80%, and the others have been left far behind. ”
Lambert: "Settle it down as soon as possible, and then Jimmy's business will be up to the rest of the people." ”
Hughes shook his head: "Jimmy's business has nothing to do with other people, if I retire now, others won't be able to suppress him." ”
Lambert: "Why? ”
Hughes: "Jimmy has worked with all of them, and they have a very good relationship, and several of them have even been saved by him...... Including people from the field office......"
Lambert took a sip of his beer and exhaled, "It's really hard, a definite two-faced man." ”
Hughes: "Do you believe him?" ”
Lambert: "At least I don't have anything to refute, I've had too little time with him to judge." What about you? ”
Hughes shook his head: "For more than two years, apart from what happened recently, I never doubted that he was a good boy. ”
Lambert: "I don't think we're thinking too much, he said he'll do it, give him some time." ”
Hughes: "It's not like we don't know what the CIA group is doing, and it won't be that easy for him to get out of there." And there is another thing that worries me more, this time he was attacked, it is likely that someone inside made it, that is, he himself is a bomb, and I don't know when it will be detonated. ”
Lambert: "Did you find out?" ”
Hughes: "No, but the DHS intervened, and there was a problem with the clues they provided, which meant that the attack on Jimmy was under pressure from their people or other departments. It doesn't have to do with DHS, but the person in charge of it is definitely not low-level.
I don't know what a young man like Jimmy deserves to make such a big deal about, Jimmy may be involved in other things, or who may be involved. ”
Lambert: "Then find out, if it really doesn't work, you have to give up." I think this kid is really good, and it would be better for us if we could make sure he wasn't involved in anything else.
It's not a good thing to say, but the person who can come out of the CIA agent training camp is definitely much better than the person we recruited to send to Quantico for training, and I now understand why his record is so good, and it is impossible for ordinary people to compare with such elite agents. ”
Hughes nodded: "He killed dozens of people when he was the county police, if it wasn't for someone behind him, he would have been kicked out of the police team." I think the person behind him should be the CIA, and the level is very high. ”
Lambert: "By the way, have you ever thought about talking to his former boss?" Sheriff of the county police at the beginning. ”
Hughes thought for a moment and nodded, "I'll think about it." This kid stays with you first? Or give him a vacation for a while? ”
Lambert: "Take a vacation? Is it necessary? ”
Hughes: "I think he's not in the right state to continue investigating Eucalyptus, he just killed dozens of people the other day, and we can't let anyone else know yet, not even psychologically. ”
Lambert: "Well, if it were someone else, maybe it would have been a psychological breakdown at this point, maybe it would have turned into a murderer." ”
Hughes nodded: "He's different, I've found a few psychology experts to evaluate him before, he has a psychological quality far beyond his peers, and now it looks like the original training made him an iron warrior, such a person generally doesn't have psychological problems, once it appears, the ending may be a big tragedy." ”
Lambert: "And maybe it's a threat to us too. ”
Hughes: "And we can't just look at the threat, with him, our break rate and the chance of other people getting injured are much lower, and we can save other people when it matters most." Sometimes when I watch him go on a mission, I really think that he can top an SRT team by himself. ”
Lambert: "You've thought about the pros and cons, decide for yourself." ”
Hughes nodded: "That's it, I think it's better to let him go on a long vacation first." ”
Lambert: "No problem. ”
-----------------
Jimmy went back to the hotel, took a shower, and then leaned back on the bedside to think about the day.
He hadn't planned such an early showdown, Lambert had told him that Hughes had come to him, and Hughes had arranged for Hughes to have Jimmy over, and he knew that Hughes must have begun to suspect and wanted to leave Manhattan for a while so that he could investigate.
Now that Hughes is coming to Dallas again, it is obvious that his investigation has yielded, although I don't know how much he has investigated, but he must have determined his second identity, at least a range.
Jimmy had made a deal with Caitlin to go back to hibernation, but he still hadn't gotten rid of it.
Whether or not Catelyn would be able to keep his promise was something Jimmy was completely uncertain about right now, and he could only be sure of one thing, and Caitlin was intimidated by his fighting abilities, including leaving New York without warning and making a special trip to Houston to give him the results of the investigation, as evidenced by the fact that an ordinary agent is not worthy of a supervisor.
Moreover, he actually always had a fire in his heart. Rick of the National Analysis Team on the DC side of Washington was inexplicably about to eliminate himself, although he stopped acting later, but the first two assassinations were arranged by him, and if this person was not eliminated, it would always be a big scourge for him.
But Rick is in Washington, D.C., whether he's in Dallas or back in Manhattan, and he's far away from D.C. Moreover, he only has a little information about Rick from Tom and Caitlin, and more research is needed, which takes a lot of time.
Jimmy himself has not received CIA agent training, and his intelligence investigation ability is actually seriously insufficient, because he mainly relied on the FBI database and the support of "friends" before, and there are not many opportunities to really investigate on his own.
He had no other avenue than Tom to learn how to investigate people like Rick, especially if he didn't use special channels to prevent detection. Rick is not an ordinary businessman or gangster, he is a member of the federal agency, and if Jimmy investigates through the FBI or other databases, it is easy to leave traces and be found and located, thus exposing himself.
Now Rick has given up on the operation, but Jimmy is easily suspicious of him if he is exposed because of the investigation of Rick, and according to the assessment of the armed forces sent to attack Jimmy before, it may be at least double next time.
Jimmy has a lot more to do to get his mind right.
The next day, Jimmy returned to the FBI's Dallas office, and Ray's investigation continued.
Jimmy: "Ray, did you find the thief?" ”
Ray: "No, I have already sent a screenshot of the video to the police station, I hope they can help investigate, if this person is really a local, the police station may have something to gain." ”
Jimmy nodded, "Okay, let's continue investigating." ”
Jimmy and Ray continued to sort out the various information reported, and the other eucalyptus in Ray's hand was also advancing at the same time. As mentioned before, the rate of bank robbery is only more than half, relatively speaking, if it is really not found in the short term, they are also acceptable.
Jimmy didn't intervene in Ray's other eucalyptus, he was only seconded, there was no need to read all the eucalyptus, first stare at what he had in his hand and dispose of it, or wait for Ray to take the initiative to hand over the information.
In the afternoon, news came from the police station.
Ray: "Jimmy, there's a clue, let's go." ”
Jimmy picked up his suit and followed Ray downstairs, and Ray said as he walked, "Someone knows someone who looks like the one in the video, we're going to check it out now." ”
Jimmy: "Who?" ”
Ray: "A street gangster with no formal occupation. ”
Ray drove in the front, Jimmy drove in the back, and the two of them drove straight to the northern suburbs of Dallas, the suburbs are not all middle-class people's residential areas, but there are still a considerable number of poor people who also live outside the suburbs, and the people they are going to find this time are such people.
Ray drove to the police station, and a policeman came out and got into Ray's car and took them to the scene.
When they arrived at the target location, Ray and Jimmy all three of them got out of the car, and the police pointed to a house opposite that looked like it hadn't been repaired for a long time, "Your target lives here." ”
The three of them came to the door, and Jimmy had already seen two people inside, and the police were knocking on the front door, "Dallas police, Jeff, open the door." ”
"He's not at home." A female voice came from the house, and Jimmy saw that the two people inside were separated, one slowly walking towards the door, and the other running to the bedroom, hiding in the closet.
