523 Legacy

Jimmy got back the notice given by the Counter-Terrorism Bureau, there was not much on this notice, but it was also very troublesome to make it public, because there were many classified contents, and the case was not over, so this document could not be published if it was not published, and even if it was to be published, it needed to be covered up with a black bar, just to see how much content to cover.

Jimmy made two copies of the bulletin, then went back to his office and covered all the names of the people and departments, leaving only the FBI, the case and what they had done, and there was nothing left.

He checked it carefully and made sure that he thought it was almost there, so he picked up the original version and his own cover-up version and went to Isabel's office, "Isabel, the anti-terrorism bureau will not participate, but it will not prevent us from issuing announcements to the outside world, but only ask us to hide the confidential content and not publish it for the time being." ”

Isabel took the report from Jimmy's hand, frowned after looking at it, and she looked up at Jimmy: "You did this?" ”

Jimmy nodded, "Basically, I've covered everything related to the case, so it should be fine, right?" ”

Isabel sighed, "It's too little, I'll change it, I'll send it to you later." ”

Jimmy blinked, nodded and left her office. Is this less? He's covered almost 30% of the content, and the rest is just some kind words, thanks, and so on.

Before leaving work, Isabel sent a copy to Jimmy, good guy, 80% of the entire notice was covered by black bars, and the collaborative thanks to the FBI at the beginning were left, Jimmy's name was covered, and then the entire case situation was covered up, which was not left at all, and even many irrelevant contents in the back were pulled out with a black bar in a few words.

Isabel: "The announcement is expected to be announced next Tuesday, and it has not yet been decided whether it will be a press conference or a website announcement. ”

Jimmy: "Oh, do I need to attend?" ”

Isabel nodded: "Mrs. Mason has arranged, if there is a press conference, you will stand next to the podium as an observer and feel it in advance." ”

Jimmy: "Thanks, I see. ”

Isabel: "That's it, we'll have the speech out this week, and we'll familiarize myself with it in advance." ”

Jimmy: "Wait, why am I familiar with the speech?" I don't have to go on stage. ”

Isabel tilted her head slightly, revealing a strange expression: "You really don't know? ”

Jimmy shook his head quickly and slightly, "What's the matter?" ”

Isabel: "Those big media have known about you for a long time, and we have been suppressing the news to prevent them from releasing it, otherwise you would have been picked up from the inside out by a few videos that leaked out before." Since Mrs. Mason has arranged for you to sit in on the hearing, I can say with certainty that you will be found out by them. ”

Jimmy was speechless, wasn't it all Hughes who arranged to block the news from the media before?

Jimmy: "Well, I'll think again. ”

Isabel: "Okay, let's think about what questions they might ask, and you should be able to understand how difficult these big media reporters are. However, I can teach you a trick, and it is okay to refuse to speak directly on the grounds that it does not belong to the content of this announcement, but it will not be delayed for too long. ”

Jimmy nodded: "I understand, thank you, I'll think about it again, it's really not good, I'll go find Mrs. Mason." ”

Isabel: "It's unlikely, but you can try." That's it, you should have enough time. ”

With that, Isabel turned around and left Jimmy's office, Jimmy threw the papers on the table, walked to the front of the chair, and sat down directly in the chair, having no idea that he was going to make it public when he came to the public affairs office.

If he is a pure FBI agent, or a senior agent, it doesn't matter how he gets on the news, but he's not, and many things are hard to say until his identity is resolved.

Jimmy sat in his chair and thought for a long time, no way, since Mrs. Mason had already decided so, there was no possibility of bargaining.

She had already said when she met Mrs. Mason that many people had contacted her before, so Jimmy had a chance to familiarize himself with the office process as soon as possible.

Mrs. Mason must have known that the media was already paying attention to Jimmy, but she also arranged for Jimmy to participate in the press conference, that is, she had decided to let Jimmy come to the forefront, as for whether this decision was made by herself or arranged by the people above, it is not clear.

Thinking about what I have done at the FBI in the past few years, it seems that there are not many that can be made public, and the few videos that have been leaked out have theoretically passed the heat a long time ago, so there shouldn't be any big problems.

Jimmy came to Mrs. Mason's office when he got off work, "Mrs. Mason, there's something I want to ask, do I have to attend next week's press conference?" ”

Mrs. Mason looked up at Jimmy, "Don't want to go?" ”

Jimmy: "It's true that I don't want to participate. I probably have a little, not a lot of social phobia, and I don't really like to be in public. ”

Mrs. Mason: "It's okay, get some exercise, you always have to get to the front of the stage." ”

Jimmy sighed slightly, sure enough, "Okay, then I'll participate." I also need to take a leave of absence, and I need to go to DC on Friday afternoon for something very personal. ”

Mrs. Mason waved her hand, "I see." ”

Jimmy left Mrs. Mason's office and went straight home from work.

This time, Tom asked him to go to DC, which should be to solve the problem of CIA status, and it is likely that he needs to go to Langley, so he opened the safe and took out his CIA ID card before going to work on Friday morning. If you want to go to Langley, this thing is a must, otherwise you have to do identification and contact too many people.

Coming out of the Washington airport, Jimmy went to the next parking lot, where the car he had left was just in use. When Jimmy got to the car, he called Tom and made an appointment to meet him at a hotel.

Because Tom has completely solved his revenge problem, and by the way, he has a public identity available, so he can stay in the hotel so openly, and before, it is estimated that he may have directly chosen a motel or something like that to stay in, which is safer for him.

Jimmy parked the car and went straight to Tom's room door and knocked on the door. Tom walked over and opened the door, "Come in." ”

As they walked into the room, Tom pointed to a small brown suitcase next to the bed, "Open it." ”

Jimmy walked over to get the box and asked, "What's that?" He placed the case directly on the bed, the old-fashioned suitcase had no lock, just two buckles to secure the lid, and he unbuckled the buckle to open the box, and inside was something that looked a little old.

Tom: "Your mother's relics and the things that should have been given to you but I stopped them, since you have decided to take over the identity in full, these things are up to you to collect." ”

Jimmy looked at the contents of the box and reached out to take them out one by one and lay them out on the bed. Tom picked up the album next to him and took out all the photos inside, "Here are some photos of your mother back then, you need to remember their details so that there will be no accidents later." Oh, and here's a photo of us in Europe back then. ”

Tom explained to Jimmy in detail the background and location of several photos, these are all old photos from 2 or 30 years ago, most of them are 6 inches, only two are 1 inch and 2 inch ID photo size, some are black and white, and only two are in color.

These are photos of his current mother, Veronica Durand, a few of them are photos with some people, and it can be seen that she was really beautiful back then, but surprisingly she is rarely smiling in the photos, and it doesn't seem to match other people's expressions.

It can be seen from the ID photo that she has blue pupils, her skin looks slightly dull, not particularly white, her face is thin, her nose bridge is slightly arched, and she has fluffy brown or black medium and long hair, I don't know if it's caused by the old photos, it doesn't look like the color is particularly stable, but it can be seen that she is the kind of beauty with a very classical temperament.

Jimmy took a photo of Veronica and Tom, well, Tom was still a handsome middle-aged guy with amazing hair back then. However, Jimmy looked at Tom and looked at the picture, good guy, you old guy is not quite right, your eyes are not looking in the right direction in the picture, and you are not looking at the beautiful woman without looking at the camera.

Tom knew what Jimmy was thinking when he saw his movements, reached for the photo and looked at it, and put it directly in his pocket, "I'll keep this one as a souvenir." ”

Jimmy stifled a smile and continued to look at the other photos, "The people in these photos are your colleagues back then?" ”

Tom: "Mostly, a few of them are locals who met in Europe, but Veronica didn't leave any photos in Hong Kong, these were all that I found when I was packing up her belongings. ”

Jimmy: "Are these people still alive?" ”

Tom: "Some of them are gone, but they haven't been in touch for so long that I'm not sure where the others are. ”

Jimmy: "By the way, there's no picture of Jimmy here?" ”

Tom: "I've destroyed them all. ”

Jimmy nodded, put the photo away, his memory was enough now, he had already memorized most of it when Tom introduced it just now, and then look at the photo himself, it was almost no problem.

Tom: "I only have some personal belongings here, and I don't have any clothes or dolls with me. It was her jewelry box, but it contained only a pair of studs, a necklace and a ring. I know the studs, they were worn by her when she was in Europe, and I don't remember the necklace and ring. ”

Jimmy picked it up and looked at it, the earrings are in the style of a drop pendant, the middle of the droplet is a very small diamond, the earrings themselves look like they should be made of gold, they have been in the box for decades, and now they look like the color is just not so bright, but the gold is still very clear, and it looks quite pure.

The necklace is just an ordinary pearl necklace, it's been too long, the rope in the middle has changed color, he didn't pick it up, in case the rope breaks, it's troublesome.

Finally, there is the ring, which is just an ordinary silver ring, the color is a little dark, after all, it has been in the box for so many years, it is understandable, there is no special font and pattern on it.

Tom picked up a pocket watch, "I've never seen her take this out, and I suspect she got it when she was in Hong Kong, but no one can tell." ”

Jimmy took it, a silver-white pocket watch, no straps, with a lot of scratches on it, and some rust, it didn't look like it was silver, it should be a steel case. He opened the pocket watch, the hands were gone, and there was a photo of Veronica's head on the cover, but it looked much older than the photo in the album, probably due to the different preservation environment.

Jimmy: "Could it be his?" ”

Tom nodded: "It's a little possibility, no one can confirm it." Except for this, there is no need to look at the rest, you can take it back and watch it for yourself. ”

Jimmy took an envelope and opened it to reveal a key and a note with the name of a bank and a string of account passwords. He looked up at Tom, who said, "This is what she gave me before she died, I gave it to Jimmy, but I took it back after he died, and now it's yours." ”

Jimmy nodded, Tom was able to put it in the box for him, indicating that he hadn't taken it at all, and the contents of the bank safe should still be there, the question is, it has been many years, will the safe be cleaned up by the bank because it has expired.

Tom: "She's got all her stuff here, and it's yours in this portfolio." ”

Jimmy poured the contents of the bag directly on the bed, "This is what Jimmy left back then, this is the original birth paper, only your mother Veronica's name is on it, you can keep it."

This is the land certificate that Jimmy inherited from Veronica before, a small farm, in Montana, now run by a farm management company, which of course I stepped in to deal with a few years ago, and now it's yours.

These are the two bank cards that Jimmy handled before, and I don't know the password, so you can handle it yourself. The social security number you are using now is Jimmy's, which should be easy.

This is your CIA salary card, the salary of the previous years was credited to this card, until now, this is a CIA-controlled bank, don't worry about security, just use it directly or transfer it to your other cards. ”

Jimmy's mouth opened wide, "Ah, so I have a salary?" ”

Tom: "Well, it's always been there, but I didn't have to give it to you before." ”

Jimmy shrugged: "It's good that I've not been short of money all these years, and I don't dare to go to the CIA to inquire about salary, so I don't think there is such a thing." ”

Tom: "If it weren't for the accident, you shouldn't have been activated, so naturally you wouldn't need this, using this card will leave a record, and it's easy to be exposed, so I haven't given it to you before." ”

Jimmy: "Okay, then I'll keep it, I'll have time to check it out, I heard that the CIA is quite rich, but I don't know if they're generous." ”

Tom: "Alright, you can put all this stuff away." I'm going to tell you a few things you have to remember, where your mother was born and where the cemetery is, and a few other things about her.

We're going to meet someone in the evening, my teacher, she knows Veronica's father, she knows Veronica, and she needs her help to deal with your exit from the CIA, if you say the wrong thing at that time, the consequences will be very serious, so listen carefully, write it down, and never make mistakes at night. ”
