The process of closing the case is still very long, after all, the lost artwork in the case has not been completely found, but all the robbers involved in the robbery have been caught or killed, and it can barely be considered over, and the rest is to release the information of the stolen goods, which can also be supplemented as evidence if someone finds it in the future.

This has nothing to do with Jimmy, he meets with Kevin, and after agreeing on the matter, it is a paid expedited custom invitation, and Jimmy and Nia spend a lot of time starting to write the content of the invitation according to the previously agreed invitation list.

Jimmy first wrote a few of the ones he wanted to send in person, and the rest was faster, or even just signed, and the rest was written by Nia for help, anyway, it was written by his husband and wife, and it didn't matter.

When everything was ready, Jimmy started to call and make sure they were both at home, so he communicated with Ruiz about asking for leave. Now is not the time for him to take a marriage leave, but because the few invitations that need to be sent are too far, even if he leaves on the weekend, he still needs to take a day or two off to be enough.

On the weekend, Jimmy arrived at JFK Airport with his suitcase, checked his identity and flew to Little Rock.

The first invitation was definitely for James, one of the best people he'd ever had in years, and this time James wasn't a guest, but Jimmy's family.

In fact, James doesn't need an invitation, but Jimmy is getting married for the first time after all, and this invitation is technically a wedding souvenir, with Jimmy and Nia's signatures on it, and the wedding time and place, these are all important information, naturally considered important items, even if they don't need it, Jimmy hopes that James can keep a copy.

Jimmy came out of the airport and took a taxi directly to James's house, James had already gotten the news in advance, so he and Mary were waiting for Jimmy at home.

As soon as the door opened, before Jimmy could speak, Mary hugged Jimmy before James, she seemed more enthusiastic about Jimmy, and kissed him on the forehead: "Good boy, you are finally considered to have grown up." ”

Jimmy hugged Mary, "Thanks, Mary. ”

Jimmy also hugged James: "James, long time no see. ”

James: "Come in." ”

Jimmy dragged his suitcase to the living room, opened the suitcase first, took out the invitation card and his own gift, and handed it to James, "James, I very much hope that you and Mary can attend my wedding with Nia in May. ”

James: "Of course, is the ceremony ready?" ”

Jimmy: "Well, I was going to have a wedding in a hotel, and none of the people in Nia's family were Christians, but I recently got some help from some people to temporarily place the wedding in one of the oldest churches in New York, St. Andrew's Church, where Father White, who is highly respected by the church, will be a witness. ”

James looked at Jimmy in surprise: "You were baptized again?" ”

Jimmy laughed, "You know, you helped me as a believer. I'm not being baptized again, but as a supernumerary exorcist of the church, I'm one of their own, and that's a reward for doing them a few favors lately. ”

James frowned: "What did you say?" Exorcist? Something dangerous? What did you do for them? ”

Jimmy: "It's a little thing, I've done a few exorcism rituals and I've helped with it, it's nothing, don't worry." ”

James: "Well, just be careful, how is this kind of thing?" ”

Jimmy: "According to the church, there have been more and more trends in recent years, what about Little Rock? Did you hear anything about it? ”

James shook his head: "It's been a long time since I've been in contact with the police department. ”

Jimmy: "Then be careful, the church doesn't say the exact number, but since there are more and more trends, you don't usually go to the wilderness, it's always right to be careful." ”

James nodded, "I know." Let's have lunch at home at noon and try Mary's handiwork, it's very good. ”

Jimmy: "Sure, thank you, Mary. ”

James got up and took the half-drunk bottle of whiskey and two glasses from the side, Jimmy drank and chatted with James, and Mary got up and began to prepare lunch.

In the afternoon, Jimmy's former county police colleagues Kag and Noah came to James's house together, they were both at work, and Jimmy called to find their location to meet, but they knew that Jimmy had come to Little Rock, and on James's side, they didn't let Jimmy go back and forth, and drove over in a police car together.

I haven't seen him for a while, but Kag is still the same fat, and I haven't seen him lose weight, Noah is much better, at least he looks relatively normal in terms of body shape.

Jimmy hugged them, greeted them and their families by the way, and handed over two invitations.

Karg: "Jimmy, don't be so polite, you just have to send it yourself, just mail it directly." ”

Jimmy: "Of course not, this is the place where I fought, so I have to deliver it myself." Karg, how is your son Nick doing? ”

Karg looked at Noah, "He has completed his training at the Police Academy, and now he is interning under Noah." ”

Noah: "Don't worry, Nick is very good, with a good attitude, I will not let him mess around." ”

Jimmy: "Well, I thought you were going to take him to the state police." ”

Karg shook his head: "It's better to keep it around, I need to watch him and don't let him touch those people anymore." Wait until he works for a few years, if he really wants to change places. ”

Jimmy: "Reach out to me if you need to, you know, I'm a little bit of a friend in some places right now. ”

Karg: "Not yet. ”

Jimmy chatted with them for a while, and then Karg and Noah left, they still need to continue patrolling, although both of them are supervisors, but the number of county police is still not as good as the city police, and they naturally need to be assigned a certain amount of patrol time, but they will not work most of the time on the road as before.

Noah taught Jimmy the duties of a police officer and trained him in skills such as PIT, while Karg took Jimmy through the most important county police internship in the early stage, and Jimmy was able to gain a foothold in the county police at the beginning, and the two of them were definitely one of the biggest heroes.

After chatting with James for a while, Jimmy got up and said goodbye, because there were more invitations to be sent, and James understood, so he didn't stay overnight.

Jimmy leaves James' house, passes by Justin's bar, and delivers the invitation in person. It's not okay for Justin to be the best man, it's too attention-grabbing, but it's okay to attend the wedding as a friend.

Next up is Orlando, Florida, Tom has changed his identity, now his name is Thomas Roberts, he bought a farm here as his retirement home, and his life is not bad, at least Tom's spirit was okay when we last met.

Jimmy first found a hotel in Orlando to rest for a night, and the next morning went out to Tom's Roberts Farm, and finally saw the small farm that Tom had been thinking about before, in fact, the farm is not big, and different crops and vegetables are planted in different areas, which looks full of life and is indeed a good place for self-cultivation.

Seeing Tom from afar, Jimmy quickened his pace and walked over, put his suitcase aside, and reached out to hug Tom: "Long time no see, Tom." ”

Tom patted Jimmy on the back, and the two parted, and Tom said, "It's coming soon, have you seen James?" Come in first. ”

Jimmy nodded, reached for his suitcase and followed Tom to the farm house, "I just came from Little Rock. ”

Entering the house, Jimmy found that the house seemed to be a little too simple, there was only a basic sofa coffee table and a few shelves, on which some books and plates and cups were placed on the table, and the entertainment was a TV series and the radio on the coffee table, which did not look like a permanent place to live, but rather a temporary living environment.

After looking at it with his heart, Jimmy confirmed that this was Tom's residence, because he found a weapon rack in the small room next to him, with a lot of guns hanging on it, and a basement, looking at the outline of the weapons stored, it was enough for a small war.

Jimmy: "Have you always lived here?" Why don't you prepare more daily necessities at home? ”

Tom: "Of course it's always been here, the workers live in the house next door, I'm the only one here, that's enough." ”

Jimmy: "It's not fun to live like this alone, so why not find someone to accompany you?" ”

Tom was speechless, "You kid, it's not your turn to arrange my business. What about things? ”

Jimmy took out the invitation card from his suitcase, and took a bottle of gin he brought with him by the way, "For you, you can have a drink alone when you are fine." ”

Tom took the invitation and opened it and looked at it, "Okay, the things have been delivered, you can go." ”

This time it was Jimmy's turn to be speechless, and the sentence that shouldn't have been said just now ...... "Don't, it's too embarrassing for me to fly thousands of kilometers and be driven away by you." Take me to see the farm? This is the first time I've seen such a farm. ”

Tom said that Jimmy had not been the same since he arrived in New York, and now he seemed to be getting more and more slippery. He put the invitation on the coffee table, "Let's go, go out and take a walk." ”

Visiting the farm is naturally casual, Jimmy and Tom talk about some things in daily life, Tom has completely retired, no longer the state that needs to be careful at all times, and naturally will not be excluded from chatting about daily life.

Just turned a small half of the farm, came to the vegetable area and picked some vegetables to take back, today Tom wants to make his own lunch, of course, the first choice must be barbecue, but the meat is not from the farm, but purchased outside, this is the farm, not the pasture, the vegetables are definitely fine, the meat is not here.

Tom was busy in front of the grill, and Jimmy suddenly asked, "Tom, do you think I'm going to send an invitation to Mrs. Waltz?" ”

Tom did not stop moving, but did not answer immediately, and after a while he said, "Give me one, Mrs. Waltz has not been to any activity for a long time, and she has lived in that cottage all these years." ”

Tom put the spiced ribs on the grill, washed his hands in the hose next to him, sat down next to Jimmy, picked up a bottle of beer and took a sip, "But don't expect her to go to the wedding, I'll ask Sam to do it for her." ”

Jimmy: "Well, I'm also worried about whether it will be too abrupt to go and send the invitation directly, if you think it's okay, I'll leave here and go." ”

Tom drank his beer and looked at the grill, "In that case, I'll get ready later, and you can help me bring something for the teacher." ”

Jimmy: "No problem. Also, the people from DIA that we met last time we went ......"

Tom: "You can decide for yourself, or you can ask Mrs. Waltz for your opinion if you really want to keep the group going." ”

Jimmy: "Their relationship doesn't really matter to me, it's just that I'm worried that not sending invitations will make them suspicious of me. ”

Tom: "No, as I told you before, your identity is hidden, and I didn't know them before, but I met Mrs. Waltz once, so it doesn't make a difference whether you send them or not." ”

Jimmy: "Well, so be it, when I get there and ask Mrs. Waltz, speaking of which, have you contacted any of your former friends since you've been here for so long?" Except for James. ”

Tom shook his head: "I'm already a dead man, it's better not to contact anyone who used to be, it's good for everyone, and lest anyone think too much." It's a good day now, and I'm busy on the farm every day, at least it's much better than hiding XZ. And you can also meet a lot of new people here, and it's good to start over. ”

Tom got up and went to the grill, and Jimmy looked at Tom with a faint smile on his face even when talking about this topic, and it looked like he had completely let go of what he had done before, and he was in a good mood, so be it.

Tom's side didn't delay too long, in the afternoon Tom drove Jimmy to Orlando Airport, Jimmy took off again, this time it was Dallas, and the invitation from Lambert's supervisor must have been delivered, but Lambert also said that he might not be able to go over, and he needed to see the arrangements behind.

However, Jimmy's goal has been achieved, no matter whether Director Lambert goes to attend or not, his courtesy is still in place, and Lambert has helped Jimmy a few times, and an invitation is still necessary.

Next up is to fly to Washington, DC, where he heads to Mrs. Waltz's cottage in Virginia, where he carries his luggage and a backpack containing Tom's gift for Mrs. Waltz.

Jimmy looked at the gifts Tom had prepared, and for a moment didn't know what to say, chocolates, waffles, coconut candy, these things seemed to be everywhere, and it always felt a little awkward to bring a bunch of snacks and sweets to Mrs. Waltz, as if he was not going to see an old man, but to bring gifts to her grandchildren.
