Steven didn't talk to Jimmy much, just drank a cup of American pick-me-ups and got up and left, drinking coffee so late means that he has decided to work overtime at night, Steven It doesn't matter how they got that Tyrus name, obviously after the DEA took people away, they just didn't know how they wrote the report.

Jimmy rested for the night, and the next morning he came to Hank's house again, this time with good luck, Hank Marie was there, and a black man was also there, encouraging Hank to continue walking, and Hank was holding on to the walking shelf and moving forward little by little.

"Hi Hank, very good, it looks like you're getting close to the day of recovery."

Jimmy handed the flower in his hand to Mary, who opened the door, and walked past him to Hank, who was very tired and sweaty, and he had an ugly smile on his face, "Lend you good words." ”

The black man, who looked like he was supposed to be a physical therapist, said encouragingly, "It's only the last few meters, hold on, hold on." ”

Hank nodded, and continued to move forward a little bit, his arms shaking, and it was extremely difficult.

This treatment regimen is really painful, but it is undeniably effective, and Hank was completely unable to stand up before, but now he can barely stand with his hands supported, which is already very good.

Finally, Hank ended today's physiotherapy, the physiotherapist assisted him to go back to the bed and sit down, checked his body to make sure that there was no problem and then left, Mary saw that Hank's recovery is now, and was also full of hope, and even put forward the excessive request that the physiotherapist would serve at home all day, the physiotherapist naturally could not agree, and after sending him away, Jimmy came to Hank's bedroom.

"How does it feel? Do you have strength in your legs now? ”

Hank shrugged, "It's just a little better, I guess it will be at least a few months before I can walk normally." ”

Jimmy smiled and patted Hank's leg, "As long as there is hope, no matter how tired it is, it is worth it." By the way, the good news is that there must be something wrong with that Jesse Pinkerman, and Steven has already gone on to investigate. ”

Hank's eyes widened as he looked at Jimmy, and the wrinkles on his forehead became more pronounced, "What's wrong?" Who is he investigating? ”

Jimmy: "Jesse Pinkerman, that's the kid you punched." I'm sorry, Steven asked me to help me look at the data analysis, if your ambush is a conspiracy, then the reason for your suspension, that Jesse, should be the most important part of this conspiracy, so we went to monitor it during the day yesterday and found some clues, I guess Steven is still monitoring over there. ”

Hank froze, and after a moment said, "I need a call, give me a moment." ”

Jimmy nodded, got up and left the bedroom, went to the living room and chatted with Mary for a while before hearing Hank call his name, and back to the bedroom, Hank said, "Thank you, Jimmy." ”

Jimmy spread his hands: "It's just a gesture, it's still Steven who works hard." ”

Hank: "Do you have anything else?" If not, wait, Steven will come later. ”

Jimmy nodded: "I have plenty of time for my afternoon flight." ”

Hank raised his hand to stop Jimmy and shouted, "Mary, Mary!" Jimmy and Gomez will have lunch here at noon, and you can prepare. ”

“OK！” Mary replied, "I need to get out." ”

Hank shrugged at Jimmy, "Don't mind if I decide for you, Mary's cooking skills are okay." ”

Jimmy smiled, "Of course. ”

Hank: "Now, tell me about what you did yesterday, and let me know what happened. ”

Jimmy didn't add to the fire, from the moment they first arrived near Jesse's house to find that someone was watching them from behind, and then someone stole a bag of money from Jesse's room, and then was kidnapped again, anyway, just by looking at what happened yesterday, you can tell that there is a big force staring at Jesse, or rather protecting him.

Telling his inference and the clue that the people arrested were all black, Hank couldn't help but smile and shook his head: "No, it's not what you think, the gangs on the Albuquerque side are not limited to race, in fact, there are many whites and blacks in the Mexican gangs, but they may not be high-level."

Oh, especially the street drug dealers, they have everything, but there are very few Chinese, there are too few Chinese in our city. ”

Jimmy: "Well, maybe you're not the same here as New York. Either way, you're going to be dealing with more people than you ever imagined. ”

The two chatted for a while, Jimmy got up to help Hank get water, waited left and right and still didn't wait for Steven, Hank shrugged, picked up the phone and dialed Steven's phone again, but after connecting, he just called Steven and couldn't help but raise his voice, "What did you say?" ”

He turned to look at Jimmy, "Wait. Jimmy, Gomez was shot and is in the hospital. ”

Jimmy immediately sat upright, "Get out of here." What happened? ”

The voice on the other side of the phone came, "We found a guy sneaking up behind Jesse's house, Gomez went to confirm the situation, but the other party opened fire, we rushed to chase after him, but the other party ran too fast." Gomez was shot twice, hit his head against the wall and was taken to the hospital. ”

Hank: "I see, give me the address of the hospital." ”

Hanging up, Hank looked at Jimmy, "Jimmy, help me go see Gomez." ”

Jimmy nodded, "Of course, apologize to Mary for me, I don't think I can eat lunch here today." ”

At the hospital, Jimmy and a DEA agent were waiting outside Gomez's ward, Mike, the agent who had just answered the phone, leaving the scene for another agent and notifying the bureau to cordon off the scene.

Jimmy inquired about the situation, Steven was here last night, but with two other agents, the three of them took turns to watch, just resting in the car, never saw anyone in the house, in the morning a delivery person delivered a few pizzas, they had made sure that the person was okay, and the restaurant also determined that the food was there.

Before the shooting, they saw a man climb over the wall from Jesse's neighbor and then climb over the fence of Jesse's house to enter his house, Gomez got out of the car to check, probably the other party found out in advance, shot Gomez at the location, and then ran away.

Mike also chased after hearing the gunshot, Gomez was not shot just now, but the people who escaped over the wall behind the house moved too fast, and after several houses in a row, Gomez shot again when they had just climbed over a fence, Gomez was so unlucky to be shot, and he was unlucky to stumble when he ducked to the side, his head hit the wall directly, and fainted.

He's an unlucky guy, and Jimmy is really helpless, "Didn't you go to check Jesse's house?" Is he no longer in it? ”

Mike shook his head, "I don't know about this case, I'm just cooperating with Gomez for a few days......"

Jimmy looked at Steven Gomez in the ward, this guy didn't synchronize the investigation with others, obviously he didn't want to expand the case of the private investigation, so as not to expose the information, but he didn't expect that he was the first to be unlucky.

Jimmy is almost certain that the other party's purpose is definitely not to go in through the back door and kill Jesse, otherwise he can't do it during the day when Gomez chases after him, no matter how you look at it, it should be to go in and report the news, or find someone, if Mike and they can check immediately after the incident, maybe they can determine a lot of things, now that there is such a long time apart, it is estimated that there will be no fun.

Looking at the time, Jimmy had no choice but to call directly to cancel the afternoon ticket, and it was better to lose some money than to leave before Gomez woke up.

Jimmy turned his head to look at Mike: "Arrange for someone to cordon off Jesse Pinkerman's house, and the people inside don't let go, stop them all, and there will be a shootout in his backyard, and the reason is enough." ”

Mike looked at Jimmy with a frown, and after a moment he shook his head, "Maybe this needs to be arranged by the bureau." ”

Jimmy sighed, but unfortunately this is the DEA, if it is the FBI, even if it is someone from the Albuquerque office, he has a way to put pressure to do it first and then follow the follow-up according to his plan.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Gomez finally woke up, and the nurse called a doctor to check on Jimmy before allowing them in.

Gomez looked weak, and with an untidy beard, he looked even worse, and Jimmy came up to him and said, "Luckily, the shot in the lower abdomen didn't kill you, Steven, go to church and pray when you are discharged from the hospital." ”

Gomez: "Jimmy, wait. Mike, how are you doing? Did you catch it? ”

Mike shook his head: "No, he ran away, I asked, the surveillance at the intersection there is broken, and it hasn't been changed for a long time." ”

Gomez took a deep breath, his face twitched, and then sighed, "Still failed." ”

Jimmy: "It's good to be alive, Steven, it's really too dangerous, they have a lot of power, they are very strong, you can't do it with just two or three of you, listen to me, give up...... Maybe you can wait until you're better to investigate with Hank and the rest of the bureau. ”

Gomez closed his eyes, held his breath, his face gradually turned red, "Whew", this breath finally came out, he looked at Jimmy, his eyes were already bloodshot, "Jimmy, please, please help me." ……”

Jimmy sighed, "I just took a few days off to see Hank, and I'm going back to work soon......"

Gomez interrupted Jimmy, "Please! Jimmy! Only you can solve it! I can only trust you...... Revenge! ”

Jimmy just stood and looked at the weak Gomez in front of him, he looked at Jimmy with red eyes, gritted his teeth and waited for Jimmy's decision.

He knew some of the things Jimmy had done in Albuquerque, including some things in Mexico, as long as he gave Jimmy a reason, a suitable reason, even the demons of hell could be bitten off by him, and what he couldn't do, he could......

Jimmy finally nodded, he looked at Mike, who was standing next to him, who was speechless, and looked at Gomez again: "I need a formal appointment." ”

Gomez nodded, "Thank you, thank you, Jimmy." I can handle it, I can do it, trust me. ”

——

When Jimmy returns to the hotel, he receives a call from Ruiz in the evening: "Jimmy, are you in Albuquerque?" ”

Jimmy: "Yes, my friend Hank Schneider was ambushed by a Mexican gang and almost died, so I came to see him. ”

Ruiz: "So you're going to take this case?" Do you know what you're doing? ”

Jimmy sighed: "I only have two friends here, Hank Schneider was almost killed in an ambush and is now almost paralyzed in the lower half of his body, and his partner Steven Gomez was also seriously injured because he was shot on behalf of him and is still lying in the hospital...... I don't want to...... You can't just go back. ”

Ruiz stopped talking, he didn't expect Jimmy's friend to be so badly injured, and it wasn't good news for Jimmy.

I was really confused when I received a call from the DEA Albuquerque agent supervisor tonight, and after a brief introduction of his identity, the other party said that he wanted to secondment Jimmy to help investigate a case, and he had already obtained Jimmy's permission, so he called Ruiz to say hello first, and if he agreed, he would go through the process to apply for a cross-departmental joint case.

Ruiz did not directly agree on the phone, but only said that he needed to understand the situation and then reply to the other party.

Closing the phone and putting it on the table, Ruiz stood up, took out the ice box from the Xiaoice box, put ice cubes in the cup, poured the wine, and sat in the chair while drinking and pondering about it.

In the past year, Jimmy has not handled any more cases in the support team except for going to the headquarters to investigate the case once, he is very honest and does not cause trouble, does not show off, most of the time is clocking in and out of work on time, showing up in front of others to brush up on a sense of existence, completely immersed in his wife and children, I didn't expect to just say that he was going to Little Rock, and suddenly appeared in Albuquerque again.

Calculating the time, he has rested long enough, and it seems that it is not bad to cooperate with others outside to solve cases, and it also allows him to familiarize himself with the rhythm of investigating cases, so as not to wait for him to come back and start working.

Jimmy waited for Ruiz after he finished speaking, but there was no sound on the other side except for the slight sound of breathing. After a while, Ruiz spoke: "I see, then you can stay there for a while, and come back early." ”

Jimmy: "Thanks, Ruiz, I'm sorry, I didn't expect this to happen this way. ”

Ruiz: "yes, I see. Good bye. ”

Jimmy hung up Ruiz's phone, and then called Nia, who was originally scheduled to go home to spend time with his wife and children, but now it is estimated that it will be delayed a lot.

But times are different, and after making a phone call to make sure Liam is awake, he directly opens his laptop and video chats with Nia and Liam, and sees that they are much stronger than just listening to a voice. (End of chapter)
