594 Part-time psychologists
Although the case is closed on Jimmy's side, the case still has to be reported to the Federal Prosecutor's Office for evaluation, and according to the actual situation of the case, it is decided whether further investigation or prosecution is needed, so Jimmy's side can only say that his own business is completed, and the case is actually still going through the process.
An assistant prosecutor from the federal prosecutor's office came in, examined all the exhibits, and recalled Elliot for questioning, but eventually closed the case because of the sufficiency of evidence, and Jimmy was not charged with excessive use of force.
This is not the first time, for the cases that Jimmy was dispatched to handle, there were also a lot of cases on the side of the federal prosecutor's office, and most of them had casualties, but most of them were very beautiful, and the evidence chain was complete, so Jimmy was not prosecuted by the federal prosecutor's office before, but only attracted an investigation by the FBI's internal OPR.
This time, the OPR did not come forward, but after checking the report, it was approved, and it was over.
Of course, things can be handled so smoothly, and some people have contributed to the certain, Ruiz and Alex Green should have arranged something, otherwise there are so many cases in the federal prosecutor's office, and it is simply not Jimmy's turn to investigate so quickly.
It's time for Peter to leave Manhattan, and Ruiz has been promoted to ASAC Assistant Agent Supervisor and has successfully taken the position, so it is no problem for him to step forward to help Jimmy advance the investigation.
During the investigation, Jimmy's support staff is also in place, and two young agents join Jimmy's homicide team.
Julia Lee, a third-generation Chinese-American, 27 years old, 160cm tall, has excellent appearance, and has very good grades in the Kuanti Academy of Sciences, and is evaluated as having excellent observation and logical thinking skills, and is good at finding clues and details.
Prior to joining the FBI, Julia worked as a cybersecurity specialist at a technology company, where her computer skills gave her a unique edge in digital forensics. In fact, if it weren't for her own wishes, the Kuanti Academy of Sciences would even want to train her to be an intelligence officer.
Mark Anderson, white, 28 years old, 190cm tall, tall and athletic. Served in the military before joining the FBI, possessing excellent tactical and combat skills, and being very good at operational capture.
The person who added Jimmy this time was very sought-after, Ruiz was able to give Jimmy such two excellent new agents, it really took a lot of thought, especially Julia Lee, it is not so common for agents to be intelligence officers, especially since she is also a beauty.
In the homicide squad office, Jimmy had never led a team member before, nor had he been an FTO in the police department to lead a new police officer, so he still lacked a little experience. However, he still has an impression of how Peter, Ruiz, and Chris did when they took Jimmy, so Wenshan Wenhai is definitely indispensable.
Taking advantage of the fact that he is now going through the final process of the kidnapping case, Jimmy prepared some previous case files for the two newcomers, so that they can take a good look at it, and if they have any questions, they can ask directly, and there is no embarrassment in the office for the three of them.
The file is still not clear, especially many of the investigation process will be written briefly, and it takes a little imagination to restore the whole process by relying on the case file.
While talking about the kidnapping two days ago, Jimmy's phone rang, he glanced at it, gestured to Julia and Mark, picked it up and left the office.
Jimmy: "Kevin, what's wrong?" ”
Kevin: "Jimmy, are you free tonight?" ”
Jimmy: "Free, no arrangements at the moment, what's wrong?" ”
Kevin: "There's a little problem with Alex, Elliot may have been kidnapped and left some sequelae, I'm afraid to go out these days, and I'll be woken up when I sleep at night, and seeing a psychiatrist doesn't have a good effect." ”
Jimmy was stunned for a moment, and when he brought Elliot back, he didn't seem to feel that there was anything wrong with his spirit, "Is it too frightened?" ”
Kevin: "yes, it's a lot like that at the moment. The psychiatrist gave a suggestion that since you were the one who saved him, it might be better for you to talk to him. ”
Jimmy thought for a moment and looked left and right: "What do you think...... Is this necessary? ”
Kevin: "It depends on what you think, he's still a kid after all. ”
Jimmy was a little speechless: "I've never done anything like this, comfort someone like this...... It's a bit hard for me. ”
Kevin: "Always give it a try." ”
Jimmy: "Okay, you can make an appointment with him." ”
After hanging up the phone, Jimmy went back to the office, told them to go down and smoke, picked up his suit and left the office again.
Jimmy can't help it when he goes downstairs to smoke and fish, he agrees to go see Elliot because he's still a child, and there's no way to encounter this kind of thing, so he always has to try to see if he can help, after all, it's a little related, and he's not a complete passerby.
But he really hasn't comforted others, he has handled a lot of cases before, there are various types, but most of them are over after the case is handled, and the situation where the people in this kind of case have psychological problems and still need him to comfort them is really the first time, the key is that there are basically no minors in the cases he has encountered before.
Jimmy lit a cigarette, thought about it, and decided to consult with a professional.
Dr. Mary didn't refuse Jimmy's consultation, but it was best to talk to him in person. Jimmy looked at the time, it was okay, he said hello to Julia and Mark, told them to continue looking at the case, and drove to Dr. Mary's office.
The number of clients received by the psychologist every day is limited, especially the high-end talent of Dr. Mary, the number of her clients is not much, but the quality is very good, so the income is also guaranteed, after all, it is a psychologist who is a few hundred yuan an hour, and the average person looks down on it.
Jimmy refused Mary's suggestion to make tea, two glasses of water would do, he briefly talked about the kidnapping case a few days ago, and then also talked about Elliot's anomaly that Kevin told him.
Jimmy: "Mary, do you think it would be useful for me to talk to Elliot?" ”
Mary: "Of course, what you said before is right, he is still a child, and it is normal for him to have psychological problems when he encounters this kind of thing suddenly......"
Jimmy's phone rang, interrupting them, and Mary stopped in the middle of speaking, reaching out for him to answer the phone.
Jimmy glanced at the number and picked it up, "I'm Jimmy." …… Oh, Mr. Green, good afternoon. …… Don't be so polite. Okay, I'll be there on time. …… Good bye. ”
Jimmy gestured with his phone, "Alex Green, Elliot's father, he asked me to come to his house for a night to sit. ”
Mary: "Well, continuing with the topic just now, there are only two suggestions I can give you, one is to feel safe, find a way to talk to Elliot, find out where and when he feels the most secure, in this environment, his spirit will not be so tight, and it will be relatively easier to communicate."
Second, listen and understand, children often think very differently from adults, and they need to listen patiently to give him the opportunity to express his feelings, and at the same time, he also needs to understand what they mean to avoid big deviations.
Do these two things well, let him vent out, ease his spirit, and naturally recover slowly. Excessive fright is not irreversible, it just takes more time to adjust your mood.
And finally, don't forget to encourage him and tell him that he can always come to you for help and support, and that you and his family are his best support. ”
Jimmy: "That's all?" ”
Mary raised an eyebrow and looked at Jimmy, "You think it's easy?" ”
Jimmy: "Well, that doesn't sound that hard. ”
Mary laughed, "Then wait for your good news." ”
Jimmy looked at Mary and felt a little drumming in his heart, "Uh, can you be more detailed, what topic am I going to start with?" ”
Mary picked up the glass and drank from it, and after a few seconds spoke, "You can do it yourself." ”
Yes, if you say something wrong in one sentence, you offend the experts, it's not good. It's also too familiar with Mary, and Jimmy is a little inconsiderate and too straightforward.
Jimmy was also helpless, Mary kicked him out directly, what should he do, don't delay her time.
In the evening, Jimmy drove to Alex Green's apartment, rang the doorbell, and Alex himself came over and opened the door, "Good evening, Agent Yang, thank you for coming." ”
Jimmy shook hands with Alex: "Mr. Green, don't be so polite. ”
Sitting on the couch, Jimmy rejects Alex's coffee for him and only asks for a glass of ice water. Alex goes to pour water for Jimmy, and Jimmy sees Elliot leaning against the door in the next room, revealing half of his body, he is staring at Jimmy, but he can't get out of the doorframe.
Jimmy stood up and beckoned to Elliot, "Elliot, are you okay?" ”
Elliot came out of the room and came next to Jimmy, who pulled him to sit on the couch, just as Alex also brought the cup, "Agent Young." ”
Alex sat on the single sofa next to him, watching Elliot sit tightly next to Jimmy leaning against him, and his heart was a little more steady. He has communicated with a psychologist, Elliot's biggest problem now is insecurity, his current performance is obviously to find a place that makes him feel very secure, although it is not his father who gives him a sense of security, but there is no need to dwell on it at this time.
Jimmy chatted softly with Elliot, his school, his studies, classmates, etc., and Elliot did not refuse, but when he answered, he would secretly aim at Jimmy's side.
Jimmy unbuttoned his suit as he sat down, and Elliot looked over him, just in time to see his armpit holster and pistol. Jimmy glanced down, then at Elliot, who reached out and touched the top of Elliot's head, "Kid, you're not ready to touch these things." ”
Alex's angle was not visible, and he asked softly in confusion, "What?" ”
Jimmy looked at Alex, reached out and pulled open his shirt to show him, then covered the revolver again.
Elliot: "Uncle Jimmy, are all the people in the FBI like you?" ”
Jimmy chuckled softly, "Of course, everyone is a good person. ”
Elliot pointed to the position of the holster under his armpit, "No, I mean, do they all carry this like you?" Can I take a look? ”
Jimmy: "Yes, everybody carries a gun, but you're too young to touch this just yet." ”
Elliot turned his head to look at Alex, Alex grinned, looking at Elliot's expression, he really wanted to see, but he was still a child. Alex said to Jimmy a little reluctantly, "Jimmy, show him, it's okay." ”
Jimmy looked at Alex and nodded to Jimmy, who got up and took off his suit, showing off his gear thoroughly.
The Glock holster on the right side of the belt, with a Glock and a spare magazine on it, an armpit holster on the shoulder, a revolver on the left and right, and a spare bullet on the holster, a handcuff sleeve and several wide cable ties fixed on the waist, a folding knife in the pocket of the trousers, the clip is clamped on the pocket, which is not obvious under the cover of the suit, and the impact of being fully displayed is still very strong.
Jimmy spun around with open arms, "OK?" ”
Elliot's eyes were a little wider open than before, and Jimmy showed them and put on his suit again, it would be better to cover up for this occasion.
Jimmy: "Just take a look, I can't play with you." ”
Elliot: "If I were an FBI agent, would I be able to do that?" ”
Jimmy: "Of course, but it's too early for you to think about it, you're still young, and you're still a decade away from joining the FBI." ”
Jimmy rubbed Elliot's hair, the little guy was probably frightened, kidnapping plus gunfight, he seemed to be very interested in guns and the FBI, it seemed that the source of his previous insecurity had been found.
Elliot lowered his head and didn't speak, Jimmy got up and waved his head at Alex, and the two went to the study next to them, "Mr. Green...... Alex, I think I know a little bit about him, you know, I shot the kidnapper in front of him, it seems to make him a little more inclined to protect himself with weapons, and that's the source of the insecurity. ”
Alex nodded, he opened the door and glanced at Elliot who was sitting on the couch, then came back and closed the door, he nodded, "I see, if that's the case...... Damn, he's only 10 years old. ”
Alex stretched out his fist and hit himself on the left hand, which is really difficult for a child of this age.
Jimmy: "I'm sorry, you know, I'm not a psychiatrist, I think I might need you to talk to a psychologist to see what to do next." ”
Alex: "Thanks, Jimmy. At least he looks good tonight, can you spend a little more time with him? ”
Jimmy nodded, "Of course." ”
Jimmy and Alex left the study and returned to the couch to sit next to Elliot, while Alex left the living room, leaving the space for them.
Elliot obviously had a lot to ask Jimmy, from his childhood to the FBI, and he looked interested in everything. Jimmy also picked out some funny things to tease him, and it worked well, at least then Elliot laughed for a long time, and it wasn't until Jimmy was about to leave that he restrained his smile again.
It can't be helped, Jimmy can't stay here forever, so he can only say goodbye to Alex and Elliot and return to the apartment to rest. (End of chapter)
