Adam Maxwell was meeting Jimmy for the second time, but it was indeed the first conversation, and he didn't notice Jimmy at all the last time he was in the FBI room.
If it was just a senior FBI agent, he could ignore it completely, but that business card made him care a lot, not everyone can use a senior senator's private business card as a stepping stone.
Back home, Maxwell locked himself in his study and began to investigate the information, but he could not connect to the FBI database, so he could only collect information through personal means, and now the time was not right, and it was troublesome to find someone to help.
Jimmy Young, a name he had heard before, but had not dealt with Jimmy's case, was relatively unfamiliar, and had the impression that he was just a well-known figure in the FBI, very young, not a big man.
The investigation was not so fast, and Maxwell rested in the study for a while, and then left the study to rest.
Jimmy didn't stop Maxwell from leaving, he needed to give Maxwell a little time to investigate Jimmy's identity, determine the relationship between Jimmy and Senator Haggerty, and communicate again, which is the most important thing.
It wasn't clear when Maxwell would be able to investigate this, so Jimmy set his next target on Director Callaway.
Director Callaway is more troublesome here, first of all, he can't talk in the office, it's too blatant, no one can stand it, and it won't look good when the time comes.
Secondly, she couldn't be in the hotel room where she lived, because Director Callaway came from Atlanta, and there was no house here in New York, so she lived in a hotel at first, but then because of various cases, Director Callaway didn't have time to find an apartment, so she could only stay in the hotel temporarily.
Peter's case is still unsolved, and as a field supervisor, Callaway is in the office every day, and she has no interest in finding a suitable apartment to live in for the time being.
Jimmy thought about it for a while, and decided to meet directly in the hotel parking lot, as long as he found a good corner and did not enter the surveillance range, there would be no problem with the conversation, and it would not be leaked out.
At work time, Jimmy left the office and went to the underground parking lot, where he sat in the car and did not leave, but waited.
Callaway had worked overtime today, and when she got out and drove away, Jimmy was following her.
Sure enough, she was a supervisor-level person, and she had been away from the field for too long, and Jimmy drove her CLS and followed her all the way without being discovered.
Strange today, though, Callaway didn't go back to the hotel, but drove to the Upper East Side, and Jimmy followed her slowly through the busy traffic until Callaway entered a parking lot, and then Jimmy watched her enter a women's spa club.
FK, Jimmy looked at the door of the club and couldn't help but want to curse the street, and followed all the way, forget it, go home.
On the way back, Jimmy receives a call from Maxwell asking him to meet tomorrow night. This is the information, Jimmy happily agreed to his request, and even asked Maxwell to specify the time and place.
Finally, there is a task to be completed, which is good news, Jimmy went back and slept well, and the next day he was scheduled to leave work with Callaway supervisors, but now he can only postpone it a little.
The next day at work, Jimmy routinely went to find Mahon, their investigation has ended, and now they are looking for the traces of James Bennett, and there is no update on the investigation of the case.
As he was leaving, he happened to meet Director Callaway at the elevator door, Jimmy thought for a moment and said directly, "Director Callaway, good morning." ”
Director Callaway glanced at Jimmy, "Good morning, Jimmy, to inquire about the progress of the investigation?" ”
Jimmy: "yes, there's going to be a press conference next week, if nothing else. ”
Director Callaway: "Well, please contact me if you need any help." ”
Jimmy: "Okay, thank you, Director Callaway. ”
The elevator descended to the first floor, and Jimmy got out of the elevator and took out a cigarette case and lighter directly from his pocket, and followed Callaway out of the building, where he stood by and smoked, watching Director Callaway walk out of Federation Square.
Jimmy finished smoking a cigarette and before he saw Director Callaway return, he took out another cigarette and did not light it, but held it in his hand and looked at the crowd around the square.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Jimmy saw Director Callaway walking back from the side of the road, and he walked a few steps in front of Director Callaway, "Director Callaway, is it convenient now?" It takes you a minute. ”
Callaway was about to enter the building, but when she heard Jimmy's words, she stopped to look at Jimmy, frowned, and smiled, "Of course." Please speak. ”
Jimmy stretched out his hand to signal the two of them to step aside, the location where he had been smoking was in the blind spot of the surveillance outside the building, which had been determined a long time ago.
Jimmy: "Director, I've been asked to do you a favor and give you a message. Someone wants you to submit a transfer request, DC or some other position, and the result has already been reached. This is what I want to bring to you. ”
Jimmy took a player out of his pocket and handed it to Callaway, a brand new player he had bought after listening to the recording, and had already copied the recording in advance.
The professional smile on Director Callaway's face vanished, "Who?" ”
Jimmy: "I'm just a messenger, messenger and messenger. You can talk to the above later, I think the above should have already agreed. ”
Jimmy took out a lighter, lit a cigarette in his hand for a while, took a puff and spit out the cigarette, Jimmy didn't look at Callaway, but at the people in the square, "Senator Pratt's black police evidence has been investigated clearly, and it is determined that there is no problem with the evidence, of course, there are some things that someone will continue to investigate." Director Callaway, I'm just a small character, and I don't know a lot of things, so I don't have many clues I can give you. ”
Callaway shook the player in his hand: "Have you heard?" What's inside? ”
Jimmy: "Call logs. ”
Callaway: "About what?" ”
Jimmy didn't answer her question, "Trouble Director Callaway to give me a message later, I need to get someone back to the others as well." ”
Jimmy tossed half of his cigarette into the ashtray on the trash, "Well, I'm not going to bother the director, I need to go back to the office and work on the papers." Goodbye, Director Callaway. ”
Jimmy didn't wait for her reply, he turned and walked into the building, back to his office.
Callaway put the player in her pouch and watched Jimmy leave, she stood there for a moment, and then walked upstairs to her office.
Taking out the earbuds from the drawer and plugging them into the player, Callaway turned on the player and began to play the files inside, and the transcript of his previous call with Senator Pratt was played.
After listening to the conversation inside, Callaway took off the earbuds and took out a copy from the file on the table and opened it, this is Jimmy's FBI file, which contains an overview of some of the cases Jimmy handled here in the FBI, there are many files corresponding to the case, and it is impossible to show them all in this document.
——
In the evening, Jimmy arrives at a club in Brooklyn and is taken to Maxwell's room after calling the waiter his name.
The style of this club is quite good, the furniture and wall decoration in the room are all wooden, dark oak bar and wine rack, spacious and comfortable dark leather chairs, and in the middle is a small shaped wooden table with service calls and ashtrays, and a wine glass that has bottomed out.
Jimmy began to observe the decorations and items in the room when he walked over, and after opening the door and entering, he scanned left and right to make sure that no monitoring probes were found, so he was relieved.
Maxwell was already inside, and he got up to shake Jimmy's hand and welcome him, then led Jimmy to the wine rack, which had a small cabinet in addition to some alcohol.
He opened the cabinet, which contained two rows of cigar boxes, "The cigars are good here, Jimmy, try them." What do you want to drink? ”
Jimmy laughs and says, "Bourbon is fine." Oh, Montecristo, that's it. ”
Jimmy came out with a Monte A cigar, closed the cabinet and came to the chair, Maxwell was already walking over with a bottle of bourbon and two glasses, "Looks like you like cigars too." ”
Jimmy roasted a cigar as he said, "Actually, I smoke very little, and I usually smoke mostly cigarettes. Thank you. ”
Jimmy picked up his glass and touched Maxwell, "Cheers." ”
Putting down the glass, Jimmy looked at Maxwell: "Mr. Maxwell...... How's it going, Adam? ”
Maxwell corrected Jimmy's address to him, then picked up the cigar he had smoked earlier and took two puffs, exhaling the smoke, "Jimmy, some things are not so simple. ”
Jimmy: "I'm listening. ”
Adam: "I understand what you're thinking, and the results of the investigation from Washington are good for Peter, but I can't just drop the charges. ”
Jimmy said in a very affirmative tone, "Someone's targeting Peter!" ”
Adam nodded, "Sorry to disappoint you." ”
Jimmy: "Looks like this guy is important to you." He smoked his cigar and thought for a moment, and Jimmy asked, "Curtis?" ”
Adam was startled, a puff of cigarette stuck in his throat, coughed violently, "cough cough", finally stopped, he took a puff of Bourbon, and looked at Jimmy: "Where did you get this name?" ”
Jimmy smiled, "Just tell me if you're right." ”
Adam shook his head: "I didn't expect you guys to investigate so much. ”
Jimmy: "Let's all be honest, so why?" ”
Adam: "I can't say. ”
Jimmy: "Who is he?" You know, I can look it up, it just takes a little bit of time. ”
Adam: "Curtis Hagen, he's in prison for forgery. ”
Jimmy was speechless, picked up the wine glass and took a sip, he put down the wine glass and looked at Adam: "I think you have already investigated me, you should communicate with him first, if, if you can't communicate, I will meet him again, I will have a good chat with him." ”
Adam didn't expect Jimmy to speak so bluntly, he was stunned for a moment, then put the cigar in his mouth and leaned back in his chair.
Jimmy saw that Adam stopped talking, and knew that he must have some trick to be manipulated by this Curtis, but if he came forward directly, the effect would not necessarily be very good.
After thinking about it, Jimmy still decided to put a little pressure on him, and he said: "Forgery only needs to be in prison for a few years, and this Curtis will still be released from prison." You can tell him that if he doesn't want to be targeted by me out there, he'd better put away all this nonsense. My reputation is not particularly good in the eyes of some people. ”
Adam nodded, he understood what Jimmy meant, there were not many people who passed through his hands and sent to prison, most of them couldn't wait for the ambulance to arrive, such a murderer, as long as he knew that he was targeting, anyone would have a numb scalp.
But he did have the handle in Curtis's hands, and if he went to him so directly, he would probably trap himself in it. Curtis Hagen is an art crime, this kind of person is meticulous, although there is no threat of force like Jimmy, but it is still possible to use the handle in his hand to get himself down.
Adam squinted at Jimmy, and if the two of them were to collide, it might be the best outcome for himself.
Jimmy's words just now have made it clear that he will not take the lead, and he can't force him to go to the prison to talk to Curtis.
Adam: "Let me think about it. ”
Jimmy: "There's not enough time, the indictment hearing should be in a few days, right?" ”
Adam: "Well, next week." ”
Jimmy: "So please take care of it as soon as possible." Thank you. ”
Jimmy looked at the cigar in his hand, Monte A was already a little shorter, and now it was about the same, he directly put the cigar head into the ashtray and poured wine into his and Adam's glasses, "Good luck, cheers." ”
After drinking, Jimmy got up and tidied up, Adam Maxwell stood up, the two shook hands and said goodbye, Jimmy left the club and drove back to the apartment. As for Adam, let's give him a headache, it's probably not that easy.
The next day, Jimmy didn't get a call for the whole day, neither Director Callaway nor Prosecutor Adam Maxwell had any news, and Jimmy couldn't help but panic.
It's understandable that Adam will need some time to communicate with the people behind him, but there's no news from Director Callaway's side, so something is wrong.
Although she has not dealt with it formally, Callaway, who can be the director, is certainly not bad, whether she is determining the news or considering the plan, one day is completely enough, even if she wants to refuse, she should have some feedback. Although Jimmy is not a field agent and is not in charge of her now, it is easy to find Jimmy.
On the third day, Jimmy was fishing in the office and reading the newspaper, when he suddenly received a call from Hughes, he picked up the phone with a frown, and got up by the way to close the office door, "Hughes, I'm in the office." ”
Hughes: "Let's have a meal together after work." ”
Jimmy: "Okay. When and where? ”
Hughes: "I'll send you a message later." ”
Jimmy: "No problem. ”
