564 Auctions
A new supervisor is in place, and the field department has a leader. Jimmy hasn't seen it yet, though, and it was Mrs. Mason who asked Isabel to inform Jimmy.
Although I don't know if Mrs. Mason has communicated with Deputy Director Dave about Jimmy, but now Isabel still has a little warning in her words to Jimmy, and she goes to work honestly.
Jimmy didn't get involved in anything else, and now he was completely idle, and as before, he was basically not involved in the affairs of the Public Affairs Office.
The Bowie King also provided the video, and they sent it directly to Jimmy's bar and handed it to Woody, who in turn passed it on to Jimmy.
They were still a little too much, but it was okay, at least they didn't go directly to the home and bureau to give him, and the bar was used as a transit point, which Jimmy could accept. If it is actually delivered to the home, it will mean something else.
I turned on the computer and looked at it, and the two USB flash drives collected Jimmy's previous public battle videos, which were basically Jimmy's one-to-many battle scenes, including the battle outside the warehouse when he was dealing with the bombing and the surveillance video of the person who killed MS13 in order to save Ruiz, as well as several combat videos of him on the street.
There are some Jimmy himself who have not seen it, and the media has shown Jimmy several battle videos before, but they are not as complete as those in these two USB flash drives, and the intelligence gathering ability of Bao Li Wang and his people is indeed very strong.
In the evening, after Jimmy and Nyoa returned from dinner outside, Jimmy went back to the study to review the footage, especially the footage of the two street ambushes, which didn't feel much at the time, and now it seems that there is still a lot of room for improvement.
Nia brought black tea to Jimmy, and under Jimmy's influence, Nia also began to make tea at home, but more of it was actually a kind of goods.
Nia: "What are you looking at?" Oh, I've seen this video. ”
Jimmy: "Well, there are a few videos I got from someone else that I haven't seen before. ”
Nia immediately leaned over and sat directly on Jimmy's lap: "Let me see it too." ”
Jimmy reopened the video, not only playing, but also telling Nia about the situation at the time, as well as his strategies and ideas for facing the enemy, and whether there are any things that can be improved.
Nia really knows that Jimmy is very strong, and she accepted Jimmy because he far surpassed his peers' combat effectiveness, and now looking back on these previous battle videos, Jimmy explained it himself, and her interest is very high.
So, a painful and happy night was spent in hard work.
——
Finally, Nia waited for her time off and asked Jimmy to go home with her for dinner in the evening, and after a long busy time, she could finally get a good rest.
After dinner, the family was sitting in the living room chatting, Jimmy was still thinking about his own business, Kevin suddenly asked, "Jimmy, you have been in the logistics department for a long time, and there is no news of the transfer yet?" ”
Jimmy: "Huh? There is no news, and it is inconvenient to adjust the location recently. ”
Kevin frowned: "Inconvenient? ”
Jimmy nodded, "Hughes, our former field director, was forced to retire, and now a new director has been transferred from Atlanta. ”
Kevin stood up, "Let's go, let's go to the study and talk." ”
Jimmy also followed Kevin to the study, Jimmy took the whiskey and glass from the shelf to the sofa area, Kevin took out the humidor from the small cabinet next to it and gave Jimmy one, this study is the only place in the house where you can smoke cigars uncontrollably, with a separate exhaust system.
Kevin: "Tell me, what's going on?" ”
Jimmy: "There are some things that are inconvenient to make public, you just need to know it. Our guys are investigating a murder involving a consultant's relative, and then they stumble upon some clues that point to a big guy, a super guy. When investigating the big guy, he caught a financier who had a close relationship with him, and then was pressured by the big guy directly from the Ministry of Justice, and the headquarters arranged for Hughes to retire compulsively.
The successor of the head of field service did not go through the normal appointment process, and a person was transferred directly from Atlanta, and there seems to be some things to deal with in the bureau at present, and the original plan was to arrange for me to return to the field recently, and the deputy director Dave personally told me a few days ago that it is not convenient to transfer for the time being, so let me wait. ”
Kevin smoked a cigar and was thinking about Jimmy's words, although he was also a big man in the NYPD, but he must not have been clear about the affairs of a federal agency like the FBI, and if it weren't for Jimmy, he wouldn't have asked at all.
Kevin: "Are you going to stay in the PR department now?" ”
Jimmy nodded, "If there are no accidents, I will definitely continue." The new supervisor is here, and I guess I have to go through a lot of processes to go back, and she is not Hughes after all. The point is that it's not clear who the new supervisor is, who it is, but it's certainly not someone from the top of our office. ”
Kevin: "Do you have any ideas?" What are you going to do lately? ”
Jimmy: "I have some ideas, but they may not be easy to handle. I'm going to take advantage of the fact that I'm more free to study for more. You know, I was a community college graduate, and whether it's for a promotion or something else, I need to take another step up. ”
Kevin: "Good idea, do you have a goal?" ”
Jimmy: "Well, I'd like to see if there's a school where there's on-the-job learning, and then see how." ”
Kevin thought for a moment, "Anything else?" ”
Jimmy: "Another thing, Hughes reminded me two days ago that if I have the opportunity, I can set up an association or fund to gild myself, saying that it is good for my future, and I don't know how to do these things, and I may have to spend some time to see how to create an association or a fund. ”
Kevin: "No, you're wrong, Hughes didn't want you to build an organization from scratch, but you needed to occupy a place in a reputable association or fund. When you are about to go to management or go up, these good reputations are your capital to rise. ”
Jimmy: "It's not easy, no matter which organization is definitely full, it's not easy to get a position that you can take, right?" ”
Kevin picked up his glass and took a sip of whiskey, "I'll go check the schedule first." ”
Kevin walked over to the desk, took his bag and took out a small diary from it and began to look through it, walking around the table while reading, after a while, he closed the diary and sat back on the sofa, "There is a club event in a few days, I will inform you after I confirm it, and if you can, you can join me." ”
Jimmy nodded, "Is it official?" ”
Kevin nodded: "Dress more formally then." ”
Jimmy: "Okay, do you need to get Nia involved?" ”
Kevin shook his head: "No, you can just come with me, and I'll introduce a few people to you when the time comes." ”
Jimmy nodded, picked up his glass and drank, "Thanks, Kevin." Cheers. ”
The future husband is powerful. This is also the first time to participate in an event with him, and to see what the activities between the big guys are like.

After a quiet week, Jimmy went to work honestly, maybe Peter's side dealt with it, OPR has not come to trouble Jimmy, it should be considered to have solved the previous shooting of the kidnapping suspect.
The new field supervisor is called Amanda Callaway, a blonde beauty, uh, it's an expired beauty, she looks like she should be in her 40s, her blonde hair is scattered, and she doesn't look like other female agents who tie their hair like they do.
But it should be normal, after all, she doesn't need to go out to work, just like Hughes, she only handles things here in the office, and she doesn't need to be like everyone else.
Her inaugural speech was good, and at least it seemed ambitious to replace Reece Hughes and run the field team in her way, though many people didn't seem interested.
This is long enough for everyone to understand how Hughes was ousted, and with a boss transferred from Atlanta, it is obvious that it is unrealistic to convince everyone in a short time.
None of this had anything to do with Jimmy, he hadn't been to their office at all this week, and Mrs. Mason had arranged two trips out to the school to do safety promotion, and although he wasn't tired, it was always good to be able to go out.
In the afternoon, Jimmy got off work early, went home to wash up and change into a suit, changed into a blue-purple diagonal striped tie, and took care of it carefully, then drove to Kevin's house, and when the time was almost up, he picked up Kevin to participate in the evening activities.
Today Jimmy is the driver, CLS has been brought back, after a round of 4S shop renovation, the whole car looks like new, not too embarrassing.
Kevin: "Do you like Mercedes Benz cars?" ”
Jimmy: "No, I don't have any special hobbies, it's just that this car just came on the market when I changed cars before, so I bought one directly, and it looks okay." ”
Kevin: "Well, it's fine for everyday use, but if you're going to change to the next car, pick an executive model." ”
Jimmy: "What about brands?" ”
Kevin: "All right, just try it out for yourself." ”
Jimmy: "Okay, I'll pick it." ”
Speaking of experience, Kevin's own car is a Cadillac, although Jimmy has never ridden it, but he also knows the brand, maybe to match his identity.
I'm just an FBI agent, and it doesn't seem like it's time to change the executive model, but Kevin has already spoken, so let's change, anyway, it's not bad for this money.
Kevin: "Tonight's event is a small charity auction, and one of the organizers of the event is the Caring for Police Foundation, a local foundation in New York that helps the families of police officers and injured officers who are living in hardship by providing them with money, material and moral support to alleviate the difficulties they are facing.
The foundation is organized by members of two clubs, and although it is not sponsored by the New York City Police Association, it is supported by them, so today there will be a lot of people from the city and police departments, as well as some celebrities. ”
Jimmy: "Okay, do I need to participate in the auction?" ”
Kevin: "No, there are relatively regular participants in this kind of auction. I'm just endorsing their activities, and they just need me to take a picture or something.
I'll introduce you to a few people later, one of whom is a member of the board of directors of the NYU Alliance, and I'll get to know you first, and then I'll think about what to do later. ”
Jimmy: "Is it about the training I told you about the other day?" ”
Kevin: "Well, but it's not clear yet, let's get in touch first." ”
Jimmy: "Thank you. ”
Arriving at their destination, an art gallery in the Chelsea borough was temporarily removed from its exhibits and set up for the charity auction.
At the entrance of the gallery, a red carpet does not stretch too long, and there are banners and display boards on the left and right sides with the logo and slogan of the Caring Foundation, as well as other organizers of the auction.
Jimmy followed Kevin into the entrance, and after the staff checked the invitations, he entered the gallery, and Jimmy also had an activity brochure with an introduction to the auction organizers and information about some of the lots.
But there was no time to check it out now, and when Jimmy and Kevin entered the exhibition area, they saw that there were already quite a few people here.
The venue is mainly the exhibition area, the auction area and the activity area three areas, the exhibition area is at the entrance, the area is relatively large, the auction items of this event have been displayed around, there are paintings, there are some things that look a little old, each lot has a detailed description, but the starting price is not marked.
Inside the exhibition area is the auction area, where you can see neatly arranged chairs and podiums, but no one is sitting yet.
Next to the auction area is the activity area, although the specific content is not visible, but Jimmy can see that there are already many people inside, some standing and some sitting, looking at the cup in their hands, that area should be the area of social activities, for guests to rest and provide social activities.
Kevin looked at the people around him and grabbed Jimmy: "Jimmy, you can take a look here first, it's still early." ”
Jimmy: "Okay, what about you?" ”
Kevin: "I'll go inside and say hello to some people, and I'll call you when they get there." ”
Jimmy: "Okay. ”
Kevin walked inside to the activity area, and Jimmy began to observe the auction items. It can be seen that the auction items here are not particularly valuable, a few oil paintings and sketches, looking at the description should be the work of a well-known artist, but Jimmy's appreciation of the paintings is not high, and he can't tell what is good.
One of them, "Landscape of Freedom", is good, the size is quite large, and the viewing effect should be good if it is hung in the living room. The colors are intense, with large green meadows and trees, a high mountain in the distance, and the snow at the top of the mountain is also layered, at least Jimmy looks and feels good. He doesn't like figure painting, and he is still a little interested in this kind of landscape painting.
Continue to read, soon a hunting knife attracted Jimmy's attention, handmade by the MS-level master of the ABS Bladesmith Association, the blade has a Damascus oblique stripe pattern, the knife is about 15 cm long, it has been bladed, the black Mikata handle, brass gauntlet, crocodile skin scabbard, the whole knife looks very feeling.
It's a pity that Kevin said that he won't let him participate in the auction today, and he will see the auction price of this knife later, and he will also find an MS knife maker to fight if he has the opportunity in the future.
Looking at the auction items one by one, there are not many that can catch the eye, and the only thing that can make him interested in participating in the auction is a gemstone necklace, the pendant composed of rubies, emeralds and black gemstones looks very good, and I don't know if Nia is interested.
Jimmy took out his phone and took a picture, so I'll ask her later.
