However, Jack could not agree immediately, because he was seconded to the New York office as a consultant, and he was still nominally a BAU person, and if he accepted this position, even if he officially left BAU, it would be a bit of a change of business.

Although there is not much difference between a teacher and a teacher's wife, given that the number of confidantes in Rosie is still unknown, he still plans to go back to Los Angeles as soon as possible and have a good face-to-face chat with him.

This time, Dana Moge was quite refreshing, and gave a 7-day vacation with a wave of his hand, so after a brief clean-up, Jack took a flight to Los Angeles alone.

It's been a year in the blink of an eye, and although Jack will come back from time to time in the middle, it's been more than four months since his last trip to Virginia Beach.

The small building that had been destroyed by the rockets had been rebuilt, and John and Tim would come over from time to time to help keep an eye on the renovation progress, and there would be up to half a year to go, but even after the renovation was completed, Jack had no intention of selling it.

After all, this is his first home in the true sense of the word since he came to this world, and he is not short of money now, he only plans to rebuild it in the original style as a souvenir, maybe it will come in handy in the future.

However, Jack's second home has not yet been settled, and the small farm is run by Chris, and the renovation time is far away, because whether it is royalty income or Justin's fledgling "small business", it only makes him worry about daily expenses.

If he wants to spend a million or two million dollars to renovate the small farm all at once, it is not impossible to grit his teeth, but it is not necessary for the time being, after all, he can foresee that he will stay on the East Coast for a long time.

After getting off the plane, Jack realized that he had no home to return to, and he had planned to return after the mission from Virginia Beach, but he only cared about accompanying Hannah on that little vacation, and neglected Jiejie.

After that, he was busy helping the NYPD clean up the portal, and then it was a bunch of trivial matters, and then it was a big case, and he made a video call to Jiejie before coming back this time, and Jiejie, who has always been gentle, deliberately put on a cold face to him.

If this is not coaxed, I am afraid that someone will not even have a place to sleep tonight, because it is unfortunate that Zoe and Maureen, the two royal sisters, have just flown to Washington, DC to participate in political activities.

As an ambitious political star, Ms. Zoe Anderson is useless in California, and her exposure in Washington, D.C. is also very important, and she often has to participate in public events and show her face in front of the bigwigs.

After getting off the plane, while it was still early, Jack first went to the Wilshire Police Station to meet the old guys, although we often contacted, but after all, we hadn't seen each other for a long time, and it was still appropriate to buy some coffee and donuts to contact the relationship.

The old guys of the LAPD have not changed much, some new trainee officers have been added, and the others are still living their daily lives as usual, John has changed from an old rookie to an old bird, and has recently struggled with the choice of a career to become a police detective or continue to work in the patrol position, and then become a senior instructor.

Jack didn't want to recruit his teammates from this group of old friends, after all, the headquarters of the wanted criminal team is still in New York, one West Coast and the other East Coast, and these guys are either married or almost now, so there is no need to follow him around.

Moreover, the retirement age of the FBI is 57 years old, and the pension period is 20 years, which means that the minimum recruitment age for FBI agents is 37 years old, and John and Tim, two old men, are not playing.

Angela Lopez and Lucy are the right age, and the former is experienced, and the latter is also a smart elementary school bully, but Jack has no plans to build his team into a women's army, not to mention that the two of them should not be willing to separate from their husbands and boyfriends.

Leaving the police station and returning to the BAU team, there is a new face here, a handsome Latina guy, Luke Elvis, a strong muscular man, a former member of the Army Special Forces, who looks very capable of fighting.

However, he is now only a senior agent in training at BAU, as he needs to take 560 hours of behavioral analysis theory courses before he can officially become a behavior analyst.

Before joining BAU, Luke Elvis not only spent in several branches, but also joined the Wanted Department of Criminals in Los Angeles, but the reason why Jack paid attention to him was only because of this handsome face He had some impressions of his previous life, and the original actor should have also starred in "CSI-Miami".

After meeting Rosie at his house in the evening, Jack and Red, Emily, and Hodgner made an appointment to have dinner at the Wolf Brothers Farm the next day, and finally chatted with her in Garcia's office about the gossip before leaving with Jiejie.

After having dinner at a high-end restaurant near Santa Monica Beach, seeing that Jiejie's deliberately stiff little face was a little loose, Jack hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and gave a big gift that had been carefully prepared for a long time.

In front of Jiejie was a platinum necklace inlaid with dozens of large and small diamonds, and in the center was a 16-carat star emerald, which radiated a mesmerizing glow under the light.

The old Irish jeweler recommended by Henry, the old man of the Reagan family, really has nothing to say, although the fee is extremely high, but the shot is at the level of an heirloom.

This was the most generous of Jack's two lives, even if Jiejie didn't know how to appreciate jewelry, she was shocked and speechless for a while.

"God, what the hell are you doing in Mexico?" She closed the jewelry box, subconsciously looked around, and found that no one had noticed this scene, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

Worthy of the woman she fancied, Jiejie's knee-jerk reaction was not surprise but worry, after leaving the restaurant, on the way to Rosie's Beverly Hills, Jack recounted his experience in Mexico in detail.

But in terms of the degree of danger, the situation he encountered in Mexico this time was actually much safer than the last time, after all, it was the national power of the United States and Mexico that most of the time depended on.

However, when Jiejie finally heard that Jack had been trekking in the tropical jungle with the seals for nearly a day and a night, she still subconsciously grabbed his arm.

Because of her experience on a Southeast Asian island, she knew better how torturous the damn tropical jungle was, and although Jack tried to downplay their lone final battle, Jiejie, who was also an FBI, couldn't be aware of the risks.

So when the two reached their destination, Jack parked the car at the door of Rossi's villa, but the two didn't get out of the car until a lonely old man was really impatient, and came over with an unkind face and knocked on the car window, and the four lips were reluctantly separated.

Of course, Rosie's unkind face was not because he was stuffed with dog food by the little couple, but when he saw Jack come to the door with Jiejie, he knew that he was about to lose another general.

"You've decided?" Pouring out the black tea that had been boiled in advance and had been cold at this time, Rosie took out a bottle of 20-year-old bourbon and poured it on the two people in front of him.

Jack grinned a little, "Of course not, didn't I come to ask for your opinion?" ”

Jiejie didn't know what was going on, and couldn't help but stare at her round eyes, "Is there any secret between you that is hiding from me?" ”

"Uh" Jack hadn't figured out how to explain for a while, he should have told Jiejie on the way here and asked her what she thought, but didn't he just spend the rest of his time on the "war of words", and he didn't bother to say it for a while.

"I may not be able to go back to Los Angeles anytime soon, and I hope you can come with me to New York."

As soon as these words came out, before Jiejie could react, Rosie snorted coldly, drank the whiskey in the glass in one gulp, and then put the wine glass heavily on the table.
