Jimmy returned to the office, the information that was placed on the table before was still there, this is normal, this is the FBI, although it is a public affairs office, the level of confidentiality is not high, but not everyone can enter Jimmy's office and rummage through the things on his desk.

Looking at the information, looking at the previous press conferences and the communication documents of various institutions, Jimmy was buried in the sea of books and literature during this time, and he couldn't climb out.

After reading the materials for two or three days, Jimmy was confused, mainly because there were too many formulaic manuscripts in these documents, and I believe that people who often read Kumon should have this feeling.

Finally, on the weekend, Jimmy asked Nia to go to the movies to relax, and he was a little depressed after reading the information.

Jimmy was a high school graduate in his previous life, and although he had a community college diploma in his life, he was not as good as these highly educated people in the FBI. What they wrote, Jimmy didn't say he wrote himself, it was difficult to just read, and many words needed to be checked temporarily to know what they meant.

The biggest problem in English is words, there are new words appearing in all walks of life, all kinds of combinations, the meaning of various abbreviations, not to mention Jimmy's semi-literate, even if it is a highly educated master's and doctoral student, they will also have the dilemma of not being able to read documents in different industries.

In the past few days, his mind has been spinning wildly, looking at the information in front of him, the pain is really crazy, especially looking at something that he can't understand at all, the feeling of being crushed by his IQ, he wants to tear up the information in his hand and throw it in the trash.

Watching the movie to distract and change the mood, Jimmy and Nia finally came home and were in a better mood.

Nia knew that Jimmy didn't usually watch much movies, and he wasn't interested in it at all, so she basically took Jimmy to the cinema. When Jimmy offered to ask her to go to the movies this time, she was still very happy. It's just that when she came out of the bureau, she found that Jimmy was in a bad mood, and she couldn't help but laugh at him all night after asking.

The police department also has to read a lot of information, but most of the information is the same as the case files that Jimmy used to read in the homicide team, and there is basically no time when she can't understand it completely, and she basically hasn't experienced Jimmy's desperate time.

Jimmy was also helpless, transferred from the field to the internal affairs department, he really didn't expect that the most difficult thing was to read the information. However, this kind of thing can only be carried by Jimmy himself, he still has to stay in the public affairs office for a long time, and it is impossible to return in a few days after being transferred from the field, and OPR also wants to save face.

Before going to bed, Jimmy glanced at his phone, a text message from Tom that he would be coming to New York next week, ending with Thomas Roberts. Well, it looks like that's Tom's current name.

Putting down the phone, Jimmy got into bed and lay down, hugging Nia with his right hand and turning off the bedside lamp with his left hand. Good night and good dreams.

Over the weekend, Jimmy returns to the CTC, where he says he is looking for Caitlin, only to get the news that she is not in the CTT and has returned to Langley. Although Jimmy doesn't work in the Counter-Terrorism Bureau, the people here are quite familiar with him, so they don't keep it a secret from him.

Caitlyn went to Langley to presumably deal with the previous case, Jimmy had not asked about the outcome of the case since he left last time, and Caitlin had not given him any information, and now he had no idea what was going on.

Since Caitlin is not there, there is no need for him to stay in the Counter-Terrorism Bureau, drive home to pick up Nia, and the two go shopping to buy supplies for the next week.

At work on Monday, when Jimmy was reading the materials, a folder came over from the front desk, and he opened it and laughed.

Finally, a fax of part of the case briefing and a letter of thanks from the CTC was received, signed by the Director of the CTC, Caitlin Prado. The briefing and letter of thanks clearly thanked the FBI's Manhattan office for the support of the personnel who were able to intercept all of the people involved, and there were two survivors who obtained key evidence.

The fax was sent to Hughes, and it was the field service to transfer people to assist other agencies, although Jimmy was from the internal affairs department, and it was Hughes who was the one who connected with the CTA.

It's the first time Jimmy has seen this kind of thank-you letter, he's worked with the CTA before, and it seems that he's never sent a thank-you letter like this, at least not in his memory.

And there is another thing that Jimmy is more concerned about in this report, when he injured three people and captured a target who was not injured, why did he only have two alive in the end? Two of the people who were shot may not have survived, and of course, it cannot be ruled out that they accidentally killed two of them during the subsequent execution.

Jimmy thought for a moment, closed the folder, and walked to Director Eleanor Mason's office.

Jimmy knocked on the door, "Mrs. Mason." ”

Eleanor glanced up, "Come in." Is there something wrong? ”

Jimmy handed the folder to Eleanor with both hands, "This is a copy of the case they just sent over last week in conjunction with the CTC's briefing. ”

Eleanor took it and opened it to take a look, "I'll see, is there anything else?" ”

Jimmy: "I need to get out and go to the Counter-Terrorism Bureau. ”

Eleanor: "This case? Go ahead. ”

Jimmy: "Thank you. Then I'll go first. ”

Eleanor nodded and watched as Jimmy left the office, she opened the folder again and began to look at the contents in detail. The content of the case report is very brief, and as a party, it is normal for Jimmy to want to know some details, and there is no need to stop him. Mrs. Mason wasn't a field agent, but she could guess what Jimmy was thinking.

Jimmy drove Sabo class directly to the Counter-Terrorism Bureau, questioned one of Caitlin's assistants, only to learn that Caitlyn had not returned and was still in Langley.

Jimmy frowned and left the Counter-Terrorism Bureau and drove back to the FBI office, Caitlin What was she going to do? I haven't been back for a few days, so this case should have been over a long time ago, right?

And it was the DIA Defense Intelligence Agency that discovered the spies, and the CIA only cooperated with them to investigate the affairs in the embassy and consulate, as well as the final arrest, in fact, they were all dealing with the periphery, and the real lost intelligence needed to be read and investigated by the DIA, Caitlin was the person in charge of the case on the CIA's side, and it was impossible to intervene in the DIA's side.

Jimmy can only wait, there will be a problem calling Caitlin now, and he will take the initiative to send it, the attitude he expressed before is useless, and he will bear with it, at least until she returns.

Towards the end of the day, Jimmy receives another text message from Tom that he has arrived in New York and will call back when Jimmy is free.

Instead of calling, Jimmy sent the address of the bar and agreed to meet in the evening.

After work, Jimmy had dinner and went straight to the bar, because it was still early, he went to the office inside first, and took a brief look at the flow of water.

The manager of the bar is still Diego Isaac, who was really in bad spirits before the divorce, but it has been a long time and now it seems normal.

The daily turnover is very similar, and Jimmy doesn't care too much, this bar is now completely self-financed, and it is estimated that Jimmy can earn some pocket money every year, that's it, Jimmy is not demanding.

Seeing that it was almost time, Jimmy went to the bar, asked Woody to take a bottle of wine, brought two glasses to the table in the corner, and looked at it and asked for a plate of salted peanuts and a small cookie for snack.

Tom was very punctual, and when he entered the bar, he looked left and right, and then he spotted Jimmy, and walked over and sat directly across from him. Tom's appearance has really changed, he looks like a bald old man now, and he obviously has plans to grow a beard, and now it looks a little messy, and it is estimated that if it grows a little longer, it should be trimmed and reshaped.

Jimmy poured Tom a glass of whiskey, "Tom, you look good." What about retirement? ”

Tom took a sip of his glass, "It's okay, at least the weather in Florida is much better than in New York." ”

Jimmy: "How's it going to be considered?" Do you want to get in touch with James? ”

Tom nodded: "I'll stay a little longer this time and wait for him to come back." ”

Jimmy: "So you're done with your retirement?" ”

Tom nodded: "Thomas Roberts, a small farmer in Orlando, Florida, mainly grows tomatoes, sweet corn, strawberries, etc., you remember it, don't make a mistake in the future." ”

Jimmy: "Yes, I remember. What about the area? ”

Tom reached for some peanuts and threw them into his mouth, "150 acres, not a big area, but just right for retirement." You say you have something else to do, what is it? ”

Jimmy: "Greg and Rick have got it done, you know?" ”

Tom nodded, and Jimmy continued, "It's over there, but now there's a new problem. Jimmy looked left and right, there were still quite a lot of people in the bar, and thought, "Let's go inside and talk." ”

Jimmy beckoned the waiter to come over, put the things on the table, and sent them to the back office, where he and Tom also came and kicked Isaac out for a drink, and his office was requisitioned.

Jimmy and Tom sat on the couch, "I told you before that I wanted to get rid of the CIA when I was in Dallas, but the current director, Caitlin Prado, said she couldn't retire me, she didn't have the authority, and I made an agreement with her to put me to sleep again, and if she needed to, she would do some personal things for her."

But some time ago, she broke our agreement. She let me go to Langley, and then without warning me, took me straight to a confidential conference room and participated in an espionage case initiated by DIA.

The spy was captured in New York last week, but I'm sure I'll be put on file for a long time, and it's going to be a hassle, and it's becoming more and more impossible for me to get out of the CIA. ”

Jimmy sighed, picked up his glass and took a sip of his wine, "Is there anything you can do?" I really don't like the CIA style, the FBI is more suitable for my life. ”

Tom didn't speak, just held his glass and thought. Jimmy didn't rush him, it was really troublesome, at least Jimmy couldn't figure out what to do with it.

Tom thought for a long time, and after the glass was finished, Jimmy poured him another glass before he spoke, "Do you want to leave the CIA, or do you want to leave the CIA without affecting the FBI?" ”

Jimmy: "The bottom line is that leaving the CIA should not affect my current job. ”

Tom: "Why? I'm talking about the real reason, not whether you like it or not. ”

Jimmy looked at the cup in his hand, "I'm happy at the FBI, just like in Little Rock, there are people here who care about me and take care of me. Because of the previous attack on me, their dual identity has been discovered by them, and although no one has spoken out, it is still very difficult for them to do, and no one wants anyone in their department to be two-faced.

I want to move on with my current life and don't want the people around me to be sad because of who I am. ”

Tom said in a very affirmative tone, "Looks like you've found a second James." ”

Jimmy nodded, still looking at the cup in his hand, "Yes." And I also have a fiancée, she's a police officer, and I don't want her to find out later that her husband is a two-faced person. ”

Jimmy finished his glass and poured himself another glass, and he looked up at Tom, "One more thing, though not very polite, ...... I would like to ask, can I take over this role completely? Including his family ties? You know I'm about to have my own family, people need a root, and I want to make this identity more complete. ”

Tom: "You know how sensitive your identity is, right?" I told you before. ”

Jimmy nodded: "The mother of this identity is an illegitimate daughter, and the father is unknown, but at least when I tell others in the future, it is needless to say that I have been an orphan since I was a child, and I have no roots." ”

Tom: "No, you don't. Your mother is the CIA's director of Europe and Asia, your grandfather is the deputy director of the DIA's Defense Intelligence Agency, and there is absolutely no clue who your father is. ”

Jimmy: "That's a little bit better than what I'm talking about now, an orphan who was a kid and joined the CIA and then the FBI, and there is no way for such a two-faced person to stay here any longer, and some people have already guessed my identity, and they can't let me continue to be promoted, and it is even possible that I will stay in the internal affairs department until I retire, or be forced to leave my job after a while." ”

Tom: "Are you really sure that's what you want?" There will be a lot of people involved in taking over the current identity in a comprehensive way, and the only person who can prove your identity, her identity is also very sensitive, I am not sure. ”

Jimmy: "I'm sure that people, like trees, need a root to grow, even if it's not clean. ”

Tom: "I looked into you, you were just a homeless man before you came to the police station. ”

Jimmy: "Yes, I don't deny it, I just didn't want to go back to the life of a homeless person. But now, I'm Jimmy Young, and what I want is to be the real Jimmy Young. ”

Tom reached out and touched his bald head, put down his hand and picked up the wine glass and drank the wine in one gulp, "I see, since I made this thing, then it's up to me to end it." ”

Tom put the cup down and prepared to get up and leave.

Jimmy got up as well, "This bar is mine, you can stay here a little longer if you have time." ”

Tom: "You don't have to worry about me, I'll let you know when there's news." ”

Jimmy: "Your identity isn't going to change for a while, is it?" And the cell phone number. ”

Tom nodded: "This identity is very safe, no problem." ”

The two return to the bar lobby, Jimmy says goodbye to Tom, Tom leaves the bar, and Jimmy finds Isaac and talks about the bar before leaving the bar and returning to the apartment.
