Idle is idle, Jimmy is not a taciturn person, in the environment of the bar, whether the people next to him know each other or not, they have a drink together and chat casually, and the time just passes.

Soon, Kevin had already arrived, and Dave hadn't arrived yet, so he was also sitting at the bar, but because something was going on, he didn't drink, but took a glass of soda to kill time.

The man next to Jimmy, who called himself Todd, didn't leave, he and Kevin were about the same age, and after chatting for a while, they found out that they both had an only daughter, and they had a common topic.

After having a common topic, Kevin also changed his drink, which was just a low-alcohol drink made by Woody.

Compared to Nia, Todd's daughter is less worry-free, and Todd can't help but sigh when he mentions this topic, as an educator, his daughter has been on a rebellious path since she went to college, and now she is completely off. He originally contacted her for her university's retention qualifications, but unfortunately, in the end, his efforts were completely in vain.

This kind of topic is the most resonant with middle-aged men, and the more they talk, the more speculative they become, and Jimmy completely becomes a passer-by, just enough for him to keep an eye on whether Dave is coming by the door.

Soon, Dave arrived, followed by a young man, but he didn't introduce Kevin at all, and when they got to the small room, the young man turned and left the bar.

Jimmy just went into the small room and said a few words to them before being kicked out, and the content of their conversation was not appropriate for Jimmy's presence.

Fortunately, Jimmy had already told Kevin about the two bottles of wine inside, and it was up to them to do so.

Back at the bar, Todd, the middle-aged man just now, had just drunk the wine in his glass, took out his wallet and was about to pay, when Jimmy came over and sat next to him, "Hey, Todd, today's wine is mine." ”

Todd looked like he had drunk a little too much, and his eyes were already a little foggy, he looked at Jimmy and smiled and said, "Thank you, but don't worry, I'm already very happy to have such a good chat today." Woody, your tip. ”

After taking a $50 bill at the bar, Todd put away his wallet and stood up, reaching out and hugging Jimmy, "Interesting boy, goodbye." ”

Jimmy patted him on the back, "Have fun, goodbye." ”

Looking at Todd who walked out with a slight sway, Jimmy shook his head and smiled, it can be seen when Kevin and Todd were drinking and chatting just now, they are really happy to chat, it is really not easy for peers, especially strangers, to chat, people in Kevin's position, usually have no one who can chat freely, rare.

Jimmy: "Woody, give me a pistachio." ”

Woody didn't move, and the other bartender standing next to him reached out and took a bag from the bar and poured it into a small plate and handed it to Jimmy.

One thing to say, Jimmy is also a handsome Chinese guy, and in a city like New York, there are still many people who will be interested. Just waiting here for Kevin and Dave to chat so well, there have been two waves of girls coming to talk, but Jimmy is not interested, he hasn't flirted with girls in a bar for a long time.

But his refusal didn't stop him, but instead attracted a man who didn't seem very interesting to come and talk, which was a bit too insulting, and if he wasn't also a customer, Jimmy would have splashed the wine in his face.

Fortunately, Kevin and Dave didn't chat for long, and they came out in less than half an hour. Dave greeted Jimmy and walked straight out of the bar, where Jimmy sent him off and returned to the bar, where Kevin was drinking with a glass.

Kevin: "Jimmy, take the wine back to Dave's office, don't make a big fuss." ”

Jimmy: "I understand. How are you talking? ”

Kevin: "It's okay, the first time we talked, we couldn't talk about anything, but we finally made some progress. More on that later. ”

Jimmy nodded, "Well, thank you, Kevin." ”

Kevin: "As I told you before, don't get involved in other things, stay honest lately." Okay, I'll go back first. ”

Jimmy: "I'll have someone drive you back, you're drunk." Woody, call someone to help deliver Kevin, I've had a lot of drinks too. ”

Kevin nodded, Woody turned and left the bar, and after a while, a security guard walked over, Kevin gave him the key, and left the bar together.

Today's events are over, and Jimmy is finally relieved.

Woody took Jimmy's cup back with ice cubes and whiskey and placed it in front of him again, "Are you alright?" ”

Jimmy smiled and nodded, "It's okay." By the way, I forgot to ask, didn't you say you were going to that old jazz club? What do you think? ”

Woody: "It's good, I went on the first day of the official run, the singer is very good, and the environment is very good. ”

Jimmy: "Like? ”

Woody: "Of course, smoking a cigar, listening to jazz, and having a bourbon in front of me, I could sit all night." ”

Jimmy: "Okay, you can check it out when you have time." ”

Jimmy took a sip of his wine and suddenly turned his head to look at the ceiling, the music in the bar was similar to light music, which did not affect the people here drinking and chatting, and the rhythm was not very fast. "By the way, if you really like jazz, or you might consider changing the background music here, I don't have any special hobbies, you and Isaac you discuss it."

Woody shrugged: "The style is different on both sides, so be it, they're used to this environment." ”

Jimmy: "Okay, you can do it yourself." ”

After Jimmy finished drinking, he asked Woody to get a bag and pack the two boxes of wine in the small room and carry them back to the apartment.

In the second week of work, Jimmy came to the office with a bag and delivered it to Dave's office in the afternoon, so that the leader could have a drink and relax when he was relaxing.

Dave didn't refuse, but he didn't let Jimmy leave, "Jimmy, you want to go to college?" ”

Jimmy smiled and said, "Yes, I'm in the public affairs office right now, and I have a lot of time, so I want to find a college to recharge while I'm free." ”

Dave: "Do you have a plan?" ”

Jimmy: "I've been looking at the bureau's policies lately, and I don't know if we're allowed to do that." ”

Dave: "Tell me about your plans. ”

Jimmy: "It's not sure yet, you know, I'm a community college graduate, and I only had a chance to get into the FBI, so I've always wanted to do something. My idea was to find a school and major where I could study on the job, and take the time to complete the course as much as possible. ”

Dave: "Well, it's good to be self-motivated. Alright, you can go back first. ”

Jimmy: "Okay, goodbye. ”

——

Jimmy is now in a completely empty state, things are not going well, and there is nothing important to deal with at work, it is nothing more than the sorting out of various public information and various documents in the office, which is really boring.

After thinking about it, Jimmy went to Isabel's office to ask what formalities were needed to start an outreach campaign.

The two problems given by Kevin, the second one is relatively simple, just give a reason to appear in front of some people, it is really not good, and it should be relatively simple to engage in a specific type of security training for college students.

It's just that Isabel poured a basin of cold water on Jimmy, and the foreign cooperation projects of the FBI office are all reported in advance and have budgets, and it is not impossible to do activities temporarily, but you need a reason and you also need to go through the process, apply for funding, if it is an activity prepared in the office, many of them are easy to say, if Jimmy plans to do an event by himself, the process required is a bit troublesome.

Although this basin of cold water disappointed him a little, Isabel's words also showed that this matter is not impossible, as long as Jimmy can give a reason for saying the past and persuade Mrs. Mason, it can be done, of course, the reason must be able to take it, and the activity cannot be too outrageous.

After being strongly asked to stop anything related to the field, it seems that the most important thing for me is to promote my education career and the wedding after the year.

Just thinking about it, suddenly Jimmy's mobile phone rang, picked it up and looked at it, a very unexpected name, Steven Gomez, Albuquerque DEA agent, when Jimmy was chasing the gangsters, he was the one who helped find people in Albuquerque.

Jimmy: "Hi Steven, long time no see. ”

Steven: "Hi Jimmy, long time no see, how's it going?" ”

Jimmy: "All well, how about you?" ”

Steven: "It's still the same. Jimmy, I remember you were from the FBI's New York office, right? ”

Jimmy: "That's right, I'm in the Manhattan office, what's wrong?" ”

Steven sighed on the phone, "Do you remember my accompaniment?" Hank Schrader. ”

Jimmy: "Impression, chubby, right?" ”

Steven: "yes, he and his wife went to New York on vacation, and something happened there, can you help me check it out?" ”

Jimmy: "Oh? What's up? ”

Steven: "I don't know, he didn't tell me on the phone. ”

Jimmy thought for a moment, then said after a few seconds, "I can contact him, but I'm not sure if I can help him get everything sorted out." ”

Steven: "It shouldn't be a big deal, he can still get my calls, it's just that he is not in the right state when he speaks, and I don't have any acquaintances in New York, so I can only ask you to help me take a look." ”

Jimmy: "Okay, give me his number, I'll contact him to see what's going on." ”

Steven: "Thanks, Jimmy, thank you. You've helped me a lot. ”

Steven Gomez, when Jimmy went to Albuquerque before, Tom gave Jimmy's only contact, although he never asked what the relationship between Tom and this Steven was, but only after Tom "died" he could rely on a phone call to help Jimmy, this person could be connected, and Jimmy believed in Tom's vision.

Hank Schrader, although he has only met a few times, but Jimmy is not a bad impression of this chubby and laughing DEA senior agent, and he can make Steven so attentive, he must not be just an ordinary colleague, they should have been together for a long time, and they have a very good relationship with each other.

Jimmy looked at the mobile phone number on the text message, dialed it directly, and the bell rang for more than ten seconds before the other side picked up, "Who are you?" ”

Jimmy: "Hank Schrader? I'm FBI agent Jimmy Young, and we met in Albuquerque. ”

Hank pauses for a few seconds, presumably forgetting who Jimmy is.

Jimmy continued: "Steven Gomez's friend, remember? ”

Hank: "Oh, I remember, it's you, Chinese kid. ”

Jimmy: "Oh, yes, that's me. I heard you're in New York, would you like to meet? Long time no see. ”

Hank: "I'm sorry, Yang, I have some business to attend to right now, so I'll contact you when I'm free." ”

Jimmy: "I'm right in Manhattan, New York, so it's convenient. Steven give me your number. ”

Hank sighed, "Hey, I'm not very convenient right now, I'm at the NYPD police department. ”

Jimmy: "Which police station?" ”

Hank: "Seventh Division." ”

Jimmy: "Okay, let's meet." ”

Hank is at the police station, and his mobile phone can answer calls, which means that he must not be the one who committed the crime, otherwise there would be no such convenience, Jimmy thought about it, called Nia, and asked where the seventh precinct was.

Nia: "Elizabeth Street, why are you asking this?" ”

Jimmy: "A friend said it was in the seventh precinct, it seemed a bit of trouble, I'll go over and take a look. ”

Nia: "A very important friend? ”

Jimmy: "Friend, I don't know what it is, I'll go check it out." ”

Nia: "Well, I was called for something, I was at the police station today and didn't go out." ”

Jimmy got up and glanced at Mrs. Mason's office, thought for a moment, walked into Isabel's office, spoke to her, and left the office.

The NYPD police station that Jimmy frequents to is the headquarters and the first precinct, and the other precincts rarely go to errands, so he is a little confused when he only talks about the seventh precinct.

Arriving at the seventh precinct, Jimmy flashed his ID and dialed Hank's cell phone in the lobby, where he soon saw Hank in the waiting room.

Hank was dressed in casual clothes and didn't look very good at all, he had seen him a few times before, he was very smiling, and now he didn't have a smile on his face at all. Barely squeezing out a smile, Hank and Jimmy shook hands and greeted, "Jimmy, Steven contacted you?" ”

Jimmy sat down next to Hank and asked, "Well, he called me and was worried about you, and I happened to be in New York." What happened? Hank. ”

Hank looked a little confused, but his expression struggled for a while, and he lowered his head a little decadently, "My wife, Mary, stole a necklace from a store. ”

Jimmy blinked, his expression a little confused: "What? How so? ”

Hank is a senior agent of the DEA, and he lives in a high-end villa on the mountainside in Albuquerque, and their family is definitely not short of money, how can this happen? It's not scientific.

Hank: "She's been in therapy, but this time we went on vacation, and she started again. ”

Jimmy thought for a moment and said with a little hesitation, "Wait, is it ...... Kleptmania? (End of chapter)
