526 Public appearance = social death

Jimmy opened a room at the hotel where Tom was staying, and the suitcase was taken to his room. Looking at this suitcase, he can finally breathe a sigh of relief, he has been using this identity for several years, and it is only today that he has really inherited everything about this identity.

Early the next morning, Jimmy drove straight to Langley, parked his car in the parking lot, and called Watson. "Watson, I'm already in Langley."

Watson: "Wait for me in the break room, there's something happening, I'm not in the Langley Building." ”

Jimmy: "OK, you come back and call me." ”

Jimmy swiped his card upstairs and found a room to wait. This time it was to get out of the CIA, and he didn't walk around the Langley Building, just waiting, in case he met someone he knew, especially Caitlin and them.

More than half an hour later, Watson called Jimmy, went straight to the break room, found Jimmy, and led him to the office.

It seems that all the director-level offices here are the same, and Watson has a desk here, a bookshelf in the back, a filing cabinet next to it, and an American flag on one side of the bookshelf.

Watson took off his trench coat and hung it on the hanger, and said to Jimmy: "I didn't expect that I just knew that you were our own person, and I had to help you go through the retirement procedures." Jimmy, why? ”

Jimmy sat in the chair across from his desk and looked around the office and said, "I have a fiancΓ©e, and I don't want her to hide it from her, and I don't want her to know I'm two-faced." ”

Watson nodded, sat in his place, and turned on the computer, "Deputy Director Nolan has agreed, I will help you go through the procedures, but it can't be completed today, you have to be mentally prepared, it is estimated that it will take at least two weeks to complete the process." ”

Jimmy frowned, "Does it take so long?" I didn't participate in the bureau's tasks, and the file should be clean. ”

Watson: "Of course, I'll get them to deal with it as soon as possible, but some procedural things aren't destined to be so fast. ”

Watson pulled up Jimmy's profile on the computer, and he turned to look at Jimmy, "You trained in the Valley of Egypt, Utah?" ”

Jimmy nodded, "Yes, I've been to a few other training camps, but mostly in the valleys of Egypt. ”

Watson: "Your name isn't on the list of training camps in the Egyptian Valley, and your training materials have all been cleaned up, probably by Rick and them." Damn! These people are really rough in their work. ”

Jimmy: "Does it matter?" ”

Watson: "A little bit. I'll check it again. ”

Watson clicked around the computer, typed in some more information, and then slapped the table, he looked at Jimmy, "You wait here for me for a while." ”

Watson got up and left the office, Jimmy turned to watch him walk up the elevator and go upstairs, and said a few words to a person in an office, he picked up the phone on the desk and pressed the number to call, and then said a few words to the person in that office before returning to his office.

Jimmy didn't move, he sat in his chair all the time, he didn't go to the computer to look at his data, in Watson's office, still be honest.

Watson returned to the office, did not sit down, but came to Jimmy, "There was an accident, someone cleaned up your information before, only your basic file information, the related training camp information in the file, and the related personnel information have been cleaned up." ”

Jimmy: "What do you mean?" ”

Watson: "The files on the training camp have been checked, and all of your people's information has been lost, including the training personnel. ”

Jimmy: "You mean Kodaiski?" ”

Watson nodded: "Not only him, but also the other instructors' materials, in fact, all the paper materials related to your two training students are lost." ”

Jimmy gritted his teeth, Rick was too rough to work, and he directly took the data away and destroyed it, leaving too many traces in this way.

Jimmy: "Does it affect me?" ”

Watson took a deep breath, walked over to the window next to him and looked outside, and after a moment's wait, he turned to look at Jimmy, "Jimmy, follow me." ”

Jimmy got up and followed Watson out of the office and into the elevator, where they arrived at the office that Watson had just entered, and the door was marked with Thomas Nolan. Not surprisingly, Jimmy's affair this time was to trouble him, and it was normal for Watson to come to him just now.

Watson asked Jimmy to wait outside the door, he knocked on the door and opened the door and entered the office, "Deputy Director Nolan, I brought Jimmy over." ”

Thomas Nolan looked at him: "Watson, what's wrong?" ”

Watson: "All the relevant information is gone, and the normal retirement process will be very troublesome and incomplete. ”

With a pen in his hand, Thomas tapped on the table, "What do you suggest?" ”

Watson: "He only has two copies of all he has now, a piece of paper material in the archive and a copy of the agent's basic information in our database. I thought, should you just destroy it? ”

Thomas: "It's going to implicate a lot of people. ”

Watson: "This is the easiest way, you have permission to extract the file, or you can arrange for the file data to be cleaned up. Of course, the easiest thing is to ask someone to do it and delete the data directly. ”

Thomas tapped the table with the tip of his pen, and the sound of pumping continued, and after more than ten seconds he stopped tapping the pen on the table, "Is it worth it?" ”

Watson: "I think it's worth it, for Mrs. Waltz." ”

Thomas nodded: "You take care of it, I'll sign it." ”

Watson: "Jimmy is outside the door, do you want to see him?" ”

Thomas shook his head: "Still missing." Veronica Durand, his mother, you should be impressed, right? ”

Watson: "It's not a project, but I have the impression that there are very few female directors in the first place. ”

Thomas: "Well, this is one of our people, our own people, and he is our child, go for it." ”

Watson nodded, "I see, I'll arrange it." ”

Watson turned around and left Thomas's office, he waved to Jimmy outside, Jimmy pointed to the office, Watson shook his head, the two didn't talk again, left Thomas's office, and returned to Watson's office.

Watson let Jimmy in, closed the door himself, and closed the blinds to block the view from this side of the office.

Watson: "Jimmy, you can go back first, I'll take care of your business, and I'll call you later." ”

Jimmy: "What do you need me to do?" ”

Watson: "No, don't do anything, don't contact anybody here, go back to New York right away, you don't know anything." ”

Jimmy took a deep breath and looked at Watson, who nodded at him, "Don't worry, we'll take care of everything." Let's go back. ”

Jimmy nodded, "Then it's up to you, goodbye, Watson." ”

Jimmy shook Watson goodbye and drove away from Langley for his journey back to Washington, DC. He really didn't expect that just trying to quit the CIA would be so difficult, involving so many people to come in, and he was actually fucked by that bastard Rick.

Watson and Deputy Chief Thomas Nolan had spoken twice back and forth, and since they must have spoken to each other last night, there should be no problem. They are all big shots, if they really can't do it, they will definitely say it to their faces, and now that Watson asked Jimmy to go back to New York and wait for news, they must have their own means to circumvent the problem of the disappearance of the archives.

Back at the hotel in Washington, D.C., Jimmy greets Tom, who will meet James in New York when he arrives. Jimmy left the room and took the suitcase Tom gave him to the airport and returned to New York.

This weekend, Jimmy was a little uneasy, although he knew that Watson could handle it, but before there was no result, he was still a little worried that Nia found out.

Jimmy said that James will come to New York in the next few days, and he hasn't seen him for a while, and he misses him a lot, but Nia really didn't think too much, she has also been busy for a week, and she just took advantage of the weekend to go home to accompany her family, and by the way, synchronize the news with her family, so as not to make them a little busy after James comes over.

At work on Monday, Jimmy finally got the press release for the press conference, a very simple draft, only a basic briefing, not a big problem. Isabel also made a special trip to Jimmy to explain the process of the press conference, so as not to have problems at the time.

On Tuesday, Jimmy changed into a dark blue suit and checked his gear before following Isabel into the room for the press conference.

It was a conference room converted into a press conference room, with a podium on the left in front and a projection position in the middle, and Isabel was the speaker at the back of the podium, and Jimmy was wearing sunglasses standing behind her to the right, near the corner.

Isabel: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this regular press conference, I'm Isabel Martinez, who is hosting this press conference.

The press conference was a response to a previous media focus on a shooting involving multiple federal departments.

A week ago, a joint investigation by multiple federal law enforcement agencies identified an espionage case based on clues. After stealing some defense-related information, the target attempted to flee, but the tracking agents had to intercept the target's vehicle in Queens and engage the target's bodyguards.

Due to the large number of targets and their bodyguards, as well as the lethal force, we arranged for agents to provide support in coordination with the relevant agencies, and successfully intercepted all the targets. The suspect's counterattack resulted in several federal agency agents being shot and wounded, and it is currently known that all agents who were shot have been treated and are currently recovering.

As the case is still in the investigation and processing stage, the relevant details will not be announced at this press conference for the time being. Any questions? ”

Isabel called a reporter: "May I ask which federal agencies were involved in this shooting?" ”

Isabel: "The information of the relevant institutions and personnel in the investigation stage of the case will not be released for the time being. ”

……

Several reporters asked witnesses at the scene about what they saw and video information, and Isabel was obviously experienced, except for the information that can be clearly seen in the video, all the others were dismissed on the grounds that national security still needs to be kept secret.

"I have a question for the gentleman next to me." A male reporter didn't ask Isabel, but looked directly at Jimmy, "Excuse me, sir, what's your name?" Is the FBI agent in the video you? ”

Isabel turned her head to look at Jimmy and nodded slightly, and Jimmy took a step forward: "FBI senior agent Jimmy Young." ”

Reporter: "OK, it's still the same question just now." Is that FBI agent in the video you? ”

Jimmy: "I'm sorry, I can't answer that question just yet. ”

Reporter: "OK, as far as I know, the number of senior FBI agents is very small, and in the past, we have shown some Asian agent action videos, one of the surveillance videos shows an Asian agent taking them down with one enemy and six to six, is the agent in those videos you?" ”

Jimmy: "Sorry, this isn't about this launch, if you have any other questions, please contact the Public Affairs Office, I can't answer questions that aren't related to the launch. ”

……

Jimmy didn't answer any explicit questions other than saying his name, not even taking off his sunglasses. The reporters at the scene and the photographers who followed them also filmed Jimmy while he was answering questions, and it is estimated that this time it will definitely be announced.

Isabel also projected the file full of black bars through the projector in her follow-up answer, and the reporters below were a little nervous on the spot.

Seeing that there was nothing wrong with everyone, Isabel announced the end of the press conference, left the press conference with Jimmy, and returned to their respective offices, as for the reporters on the scene, naturally others arranged for them to leave.

Jimmy also successfully completed his first press conference, although he was a supporting role, and did not say any important answers, but just his personal image and name were enough for those reporters to make up stories.

Jimmy turned on the TV in the office lobby and switched to the news station, where he could see it in his office.

Everything is normal during the day, but when he comes home at night, his image is really hung up by the TV station and the previous video, although the video definition is very poor, but Jimmy's image is indeed recognizable enough, put his head in sunglasses today and the video together, it is easy to tell that the suit agent in the video is him.

Jimmy sighed, sure enough, the boots hit the ground, and he probably really had to face the public in the future, Mrs. Mason was right, this step always has to go out.

Today Nia is going to work overtime at the police station, and she hasn't come back yet, the phone rings, and Nia's voice comes out, "Jimmy, turn on the TV and watch CNN." ”

Jimmy picked up the remote control and asked while changing the channel, "What's wrong?" ”

When he saw the TV screen, Jimmy knew something was wrong: "Oh! Fxxk! ”

Nia laughed loudly on the phone, "See for yourself." With that, he hung up the phone.

The image that appeared on the TV turned out to be the last time he was sniped at the hotel, running down in boxers to chase the gunman. Although it was night, under the lights and camera lighting, Jimmy's half-naked image was still very clearly displayed on the TV, with his photo at today's press conference, Stone Hammer, it was him.

"We don't know what case he was dealing with at the time, but I have to say that he was in really good shape.

This is a very rare picture, we usually see FBI agents are wearing suits or plainclothes, their serious and professional image is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but this kind of naked situation is rare.

Look at him, look at his image. With an FBI badge in his left hand and a revolver in his right hand, running out to chase the suspect barefoot and without clothes, can you still see a second tough guy who is so tough? ”

The society is dead! This time the absolute society is dead! At the beginning, the case of his assault was only known to some of Hughes and others, and others did not know that Jimmy had this one, and there should be no other agent who witnessed Jimmy's humiliating moment except for the NYPD who was present at the time.

Now it's over, as soon as it's released on TV, even if you didn't watch the news today, it will definitely go viral when you get to the office tomorrow morning. Hey, do you want to take a few days off to rest at home, at least wait until the limelight has passed before going back to work? (End of chapter)
