Tom definitely doesn't pay attention to Veronica just because he saved her, good guy, Jimmy just listened to him introduce Veronica's birthplace and cemetery, as well as some of her personal habits and so on, and it took more than an hour, although there were some things mixed with Jimmy's original owner, but most of them were about Veronica.

If you're just grateful, the most you can do is take care of Veronica's son, and there are really many details in this investigation.

If it weren't for Jimmy's brain, he would have been in a mess. Veronica's life is too rich and classified, and Tom won't tell Jimmy, focusing on the various travels to Europe and the last years of his life in the United States.

There are also some things about Jimmy's predecessor, but not much, because Tom is not familiar with it either. When he first came into contact with Jimmy, Veronica was already working on arranging for him to enter the CIA, and by that time Veronica had already been diagnosed with cancer, so it was necessary to give the child a safe place.

After so many years in the CIA, she believed that after her death, Jimmy would have enjoyed some kind of attention. It's just that she didn't expect that Jimmy would have died before she graduated from the training camp, and if it weren't for Tom's attention, Jimmy wouldn't have enjoyed any other people's care even if he hadn't been killed by Greg.

Luckily, now that Greg has been killed, at least no one is staring at Jimmy from behind. If this exit from the CIA goes well, Jimmy will be able to fish in the public affairs office with peace of mind, and then wait a year to return to the field, probably.

Looking at the time, Tom stood up: "Get ready, let's go." ”

Jimmy stood up and tidied up his clothes, he put all these things on the bed back into the suitcase, and after thinking about it, he picked up the album and took a color photo of Veronica from it and put it in his wallet, "I'll bring a picture, okay?" ”

Tom nodded: "I made a mistake, under normal circumstances, it is a habit for many people to keep family photos in their wallets, and you did a good job." ”

Jimmy smiled and opened his wallet, and there was a picture of Nyoa inside, "I had a picture of my fiancée with me, so I remembered it." ”

Tom: "Alright, let's go. ”

Jimmy and Tom arrive at the parking lot, Tom doesn't drive his car, but sits directly in Jimmy's car, and the two leave the hotel and head to Virginia.

It was late in the evening when we set out, and it was already dark when we arrived near the cabin in the woods of Mrs. Waltz, Virginia Tom's teacher.

The location of the hut was still relatively hidden, although there was a road leading to it, but it was not a road, but a small dirt road, and if it wasn't for Tom's guidance, Jimmy would not have turned the path into the woods.

Jimmy opened his eyes after dark, which is also his habit of driving at night, and the range of visual vision is too small. He turned into the path and looked to both sides, it was too easy to ambush people, "Tom, does anyone else here know?" ”

Tom: "Of course, Mrs. Waltz is not completely reclusive, and the bureau's higher-ups must know. ”

Jimmy: "Is there anyone here to protect her?" ”

Tom: "What did you find?" ”

Jimmy: "It's so easy to set up an ambush here, if a team goes into the woods, the cabin will definitely be demolished, and the people outside won't find out. ”

Tom: "Don't worry, they have the security forces arranged by the bureau, although not much, but as long as there are no special circumstances, it is enough." ”

Jimmy didn't say anything more, and continued to drive, and when he turned the corner, he saw that there were people in the woods who were dodging, but there were only two of them, and they were not far away, and it looked like they were supposed to be open and dark.

That's what he asked Tom just now, he didn't know who these two people were, but he definitely couldn't go straight to the woods and kill them in front of Tom, that would be too much.

As he continued to drive forward, he had seen more people, and there were two other people staring at a distance, and it didn't look like they were going to do it. A wooden house in the distance appeared in his field of vision, it looked not small, it was not that kind of holiday cottage, it looked a bit like a forest villa.

There was a car parked outside the cabin, and Jimmy parked the car behind the car, but he decided to take a look, if these people really wanted to attack the people in the cabin, he was in the house, it would be more troublesome, it was better to find out in advance, "Tom, you get out of the car and enter the house first, I'll go and clean it up." ”

Tom: "What did you find?" ”

Jimmy: "There's someone in the woods, unsure of the number and purpose, I'd like to check it out." ”

Tom: "No, wait for me in the car, hide." ”

Tom got out of the car, straightened his clothes, and walked to the cabin. Jimmy looked at the house in the car, there were four people in the cabin, two in the living room, two in the inner room, and it looked like it was supposed to be a study.

Tom knocked on the door, and a young man came out of the living room and opened the door and welcomed Tom in, after which Tom came to the door of the study, knocked on the door and entered the study.

Soon, he left the study and came to the door, beckoning to Jimmy, who got out of the car, glanced at the woods behind the cabin, and came to the door of the cabin.

Tom waited for Jimmy to come to his side and whispered, "There are people around, but they are all bodyguards, no problem." ”

Jimmy nodded, similar to what he thought, no matter how they looked at the position of these people, they were all monitoring the external defense, if they really wanted to do something to the wooden house, they must be scattered near the wooden house.

Walking into the cabin with Tom, the two men in the living room don't look like the people Jimmy and they want to meet, one is a young man and the other looks a little more mature.

Tom took Jimmy to the study and knocked on the door, "Please come in." ”

Tom: "Mrs. Waltz, he's Jimmy." ”

Jimmy followed Tom and stood like this, an old lady in a wheelchair and another old man in a chair next to her.

Mrs. Waltz: "Sit down, Tommy. Is this Jimmy? A very spirited young man, but he doesn't have much in common with Veronica. ”

Tom and Jimmy, after sitting down across from Mrs. Waltz and the old man, said, "If Veronica hadn't taken him to training camp herself, I wouldn't have believed she would have had a Chinese son, which is surprising, but it's true." ”

Jimmy looked at the two old men present with an expressionless face, he had considered before, there was no need to be too enthusiastic, because he was completely unfamiliar with them, he had never met them before, but there was no need to be too cold, that would give people a very bad feeling, just treat it normally.

Mrs. Waltz: "Yes, it's okay. Jimmy, I think Tom must have told you about it, about your grandfather. ”

Jimmy nodded, "Mother never talked about grandpa. ”

Mrs. Waltz sighed: "Well, it's normal that she doesn't say it, her father was a little too much of a jerk back then, not only her, but also her mother. ”

Mrs. Waltz looked at the old man next to her: "Andrew, this is Harry Anderson's grandson, and you should be impressed by his youngest daughter, Veronica, right?" This is her son. ”

Old man Andrew: "Yes, there is an impression. I guess that's what you meant by letting me come, Harry still has his bloodlines left. Good, very good. ”

Mrs. Waltz: "Well, I think after all these years, you should have already looked into it, right?" ”

Andrew nodded: "Harry's family, hey, Greg is too much, no matter what personal vendetta he has with Harry, he has gone too far. ”

Mrs. Waltz: "When I found out, it was too late, I can't help it, I can't save anyone else." ”

Andrew: "I've heard that he had an accident before, in Washington, DC. ”

Mrs. Waltz: "Well, there are no results yet, there are too few clues, and he has offended too many people. ”

Andrew waved his hand: "Don't talk about him." He looked at Jimmy, "Jimmy, tell me how you've been all these years." ”

Jimmy looked at Andrew, then turned to look at Mrs. Waltz: "Mrs. Waltz......"

Mrs. Waltz waved her hand: "I'm your grandfather's friend, just call me Granny." ”

Jimmy casually changed his name: "Grandma Waltz, you know that my identity is more sensitive, who is this?" ”

Andrew: "Your grandfather and I are brothers who served in the same army, and then we also entered DIA together, so don't worry, just call me Andrew." ”

Jimmy saw that Mrs. Waltz also nodded, and then spoke: "Grandpa Andrew." ”

Jimmy said hello and began to tell the story of Jimmy's previous life that he heard in the afternoon, "I've been with my mom since I was a kid, and we've lived in Utah and Montana for the longest time, and I've lived in Virginia for a while.

Ten years ago, my mother asked me to join a training camp, but it was only during the training phase that I learned that she had died of cancer.

Tom is a friend of my mother's who has been teaching me at the bootcamp and has been dormant since the end of the bootcamp.

I worked as a sheriff in Arkansas for two years before I was recommended by someone in the FBI to join the FBI and now live in New York. In the past few years, my life has been relatively simple, just handling cases. ”

Mrs. Waltz: "Haven't you been to Langley before?" ”

Jimmy nodded: "The camp doesn't have a CIA mark, in fact, I didn't know until the end of the training that my mother had signed me up, and Tom told me who I was, and that I was about to be put into hibernation waiting to be activated." ”

Mrs. Waltz: "Haven't you done any tasks?" ”

Jimmy shook his head: "No, my file should be clean. ”

Mrs. Waltz nodded, she glanced at Andrew, then at Jimmy, "Did your mother tell you about your father?" ”

Jimmy shook his head, "No, I've never met him, and there are no Asians in the family photos." I once asked, but she didn't mention it, just said it was a beautiful mistake. ”

Mrs. Waltz: "I haven't seen her for decades, and when I first knew her, she wasn't an adult." Hey, poor boy, he died of cancer early. ”

Jimmy glanced at Tom, he reached out and took his wallet out of his suit pocket, opened it and took out the two pictures inside, and after a look, Jimmy handed Veronica the picture to Mrs. Waltz.

Mrs. Waltz took the picture and didn't look at it, but looked at the other one in Jimmy's hand, "Who is that girl?" ”

Jimmy was stunned for a moment, he glanced at the picture of Nia in his hand, and also handed it to Mrs. Waltz, "This is my fiancée, I already proposed to her some time ago, and we are discussing when to have an engagement ceremony." ”

Mrs. Waltz took the picture and looked at it, and nodded, "Very beautiful little girl, not bad." She picked up Veronica's picture again, "Well, it's really her, she's prettier when she grows up." ”

Mrs. Waltz gave the picture to Andrew and continued to look at Jimmy, "That's why, right?" This girl. ”

Jimmy nodded, "I've been in the FBI for a few years now, I'm used to it, and the point is, I'm about to have a family of my own." ”

Andrew returned the picture to Jimmy, "What are you talking about?" ”

Mrs. Waltz smiled and said, "Jimmy was arranged for the CIA by Veronica, and now he wants to leave. ”

Andrew looked at Jimmy: "Why?" ”

Jimmy: "I just don't want to be found out to be two-faced by her and her family, I want to have a normal family." ”

Andrew: "What's the difference?" It's just a job. ”

Jimmy looked at Andrew speechlessly, "CIA agents are not the same as FBI agents, I can't tell others very calmly that I'm a CIA field agent, it's too scary." ”

Andrew raised his voice: "Just don't tell them, we've been like this for decades." ”

Jimmy was speechless, this Andrew is also a person who has been doing intelligence work for decades, and he may already have some mindset: "Grandpa Andrew, it's not the Cold War and Vietnam War anymore, the key is that my public identity is an FBI senior agent, and the two professions are in conflict." ”

Mrs. Waltz stopped Andrew from speaking, "I can understand, Andrew, now that the children are grown up, they can decide their own future. ”

Andrew sighed: "He is like this, my grandson is like this, he doesn't even want to go to the Ministry of Defense, if it wasn't for my mandatory request, he wouldn't even want to go to the army." ”

Mrs. Waltz: "Yes, now they all have their own ideas, and we are too old to keep up with the times. ”

Mrs. Waltz glanced at the lady's watch on her wrist, and she looked at Tom, "Tommy, I've called Thomas over, and in 20 minutes, you can stay in the next room for a while." ”

Andrew: "Thomas Nolan? ”

Mrs. Waltz nodded, "Yes. ”

Andrew: "Tommy, come with us, I don't want to see him." ”

Tom nodded, Andrew got up and left the study with Tom, Jimmy turned to watch them leave, and Mrs. Waltz patted the chair next to her, "Sit down, kid, tell me how you've spent all these years." ”

Jimmy didn't refuse, he got up and went to the chair where Andrew had been sitting before, and dragged him to sit next to Mrs. Waltz.

Tom had already introduced Jimmy to Mrs. Waltz, the former deputy director of the CIA, and she was a woman, which was rare for a woman to sit in a high position during the Cold War, so you can also judge how strong this old lady really is.

Sorry, this one is late.
