New York is a city with four distinct seasons, but in the early spring, the temperature is still a little cooler, barely above freezing at night, and usually does not exceed 10 degrees Celsius during the day.

Those who are afraid of the cold may still be wearing autumn pants at this time, but most of the trees are already sprouting green shoots, and some trees that like to compete for spring, such as the cherry blossoms at the Brooklyn Botanical Garden and Central Park, are already eager to bloom all over the branches.

Hannah happily changed into a red and white witch costume and dragged her girlfriends to Silver Lake Park on Staten Island, where the cherry blossoms were also good, perfect for taking pictures.

In the afternoon, he went to the small Soviet-style garden of the Staten Island Arboretum to drink a cup of green tea, and Jack said that he had no regrets in his life.

He just went to Washington a few days ago, maybe it was Xiao Biesheng's newlywed, and the two royal sisters, Zoe and Maureen, were particularly enthusiastic, which caused someone to be extraordinarily "sage" psychologically in the past two days.

As soon as Jack returned to the city, Jason Hayes took his family to New York with the injured Clay Spencer and his newlywed wife Stella, who was still recovering from his injury, and was picking a house on Staten Island.

The previous two windfalls, along with a large retirement pension and disability benefits, were enough to support Clay to settle in the vicinity of New York, and Jack, who had already been prepared, directly recommended the community near Danny's home.

After all, the newlyweds are newcomers, especially Stella still has a big belly, and Danny's wife Linda is very enthusiastic to offer all the help she can.

Jack also learned later that Linda was not actually a full-time housewife, her profession was a hospital nurse, but she was too busy taking care of her two sons, and often only worked a few half-day shifts a week.

Danny's family is a typical middle-class family in the United States, but now it is different from the past, and the life of the middle-class family is also tight, of course, Linda is not really lacking in that income, but she is simply idle, and there is a kind of stubbornness in her bones that women can hold up half the sky.

This gave Jack a sense of the sight of the beautiful housewives rushing into the factory to make screws during and after World War II, but unfortunately the golden age is long gone.

It's not that he hasn't thought of a way to help before, and the dignified police chief's son is not even distressed to eat a lobster, but there is no particularly good opportunity for the time being.

After all, Danny is a NYPD detective, and it is somewhat too much for Jack to pull him to play black and eat black on his own turf, to put it bluntly, if people really have that heart, there is also an opportunity, why be dragged into the water by an FBI from Los Angeles.

But going to other places or abroad, such as Mexico, requires a little risk, and needs the right opportunity, and Jack plans to simply wait for Chris's company to go public and put some inside information for him to make a profit from the stock.

Clay's leg injury is not a big problem, the scar looks bluffing, and he has been designated disabled, and he still needs to walk with crutches, but this strong special forces soldier is already actively rehabilitating, and the recovery is as good as someone expected.

Quantico's Jack has already arranged everything through Rosie, and he only needs to wait for Clay to report for duty in a week, and he can directly transfer in the middle of the shift, and he can become a full-fledged FBI field agent in 3 months.

Neither Jack nor Clay himself had ever considered failing the FBI.

Don't look at the guys on Team B who always joke about Clay as a newcomer, but he is just the last to join the team, and with a bit of a thorny personality, everyone knows that he should have been the most suitable successor to Jason.

At the same time, don't think of these seals as muscular and simple-minded soldiers, in addition to their physical fitness is far beyond ordinary people, their minds are also far beyond ordinary people.

There will be no stupid people who can enter the T1 level special forces, they have to learn how to fly various sea, land and air vehicles, operate and use communication instruments and equipment, master various tactical theories, and be proficient in at least one foreign language.

In addition, they must have at least one technical specialty, weapons, engineering, communications, medical care, etc., for example, Clay's specialty is explosives and bomb disposal, but this does not mean that he is weak in other areas.

If measured by Jack's systematic skills, it is nothing more than the difference between mastery and mastery, and for Clay and others, their so-called non-specialty areas are equivalent to the specialties of an elite soldier.

Such a talent is naturally sought by the FBI, not to mention that Kuantiko's training is mainly based on academic courses in the second half of the training, and tactical courses such as physical fitness and shooting training in the early stage, so Clay is actually transferred halfway for the good of others, and with the level he can teach instructors, it is easy to hit the confidence of other students.

Of course, according to Jack's request, after becoming a trainee agent, Clay also has to take a 560-hour behavioral analysis theory course to become a psychobehavioral analyst.

In this case, in the event of a disbandment and reorganization of the wanted criminal team again in the future, Jack can directly take Clay to BAU, and he will be responsible for the whole process of fooling people into the FBI, unless Clay takes the initiative to quit one day, which is his principle of life.

After a busy weekend, Clay and Stella finally settled in, and they bought a house on the same street as Danny's house, Danny's house in the middle of the street, and their house at the end of the street.

The age of the house is less than five years, and it can barely be called a new house, and it has hardly been moved in after the completion of the decoration, as long as you purchase some furniture and electrical appliances to move in happily, this is the benefit of having a snake as a friend.

The NYPD is the biggest snake in New York, and the computer of their police department can easily access the management system that registers the real estate information of the whole New York.

Seeing that Jack and his friends were so good and arranged everything properly, Jason Hayes said goodbye and left, he still had some guilt for Clay, and now he was finally able to put his mind at ease.

The veteran, who was half-drunk by Jack and Clay the night before he left, confided in him that he was also thinking about retirement.

The officer system and the non-commissioned officer system of the U.S. military are two different promotion systems, and it is basically impossible for Jason, the old sergeant major, to be promoted as an officer now, and the non-commissioned officer system has no problem with qualifications, but it seems to be a little bit worse.

Five-star General MacHashur once famously said in his retirement speech, "Veterans don't die, they slowly wither." ”

The same is true in literary and artistic works, the best destination for those battlefield veterans who are accustomed to the rain of bullets on the battlefield is to fall on the last bullet before the end of the battle, and it seems that such an ending is the ultimate romance.

Considering that Mr. Five-Star General once personally created the "Washington Massacre" when he was the Chief of Staff of the Army, ordering tanks to run over the flesh and blood of veterans, so that famous saying is just a, and the ultimate romance in literary and artistic works is not something that every veteran will look forward to.

So it's not surprising that Jason is worried about his future, he is not short of money now, but it seems a little too early to start "enjoying" retirement in his early forties.

How veterans who are accustomed to military life re-study and adapt to the lives of ordinary people after leaving the army is a rather serious sociological question.

The reason why veterans in the United States are so difficult to reintegrate into society is not only because of drug abuse, but also because of the system of resettlement for veterans.

In this regard, Jack can only say that he may be able to provide some advice in the future, but strongly disagrees that he will continue to work in PMC after he is discharged from the army, and can leave Jason with a position such as security supervisor in the future.

After all, it is people who are not happy to enjoy life, and when society cannot give these veterans enough social status and respect, then the best way is to let them have money, and at the same time give a position to an employee of a large company, in disguise to improve their social status.

Jack is confident in Chris's plan for the company, which is still mostly in the proposal, and the only thing missing now is time.

As long as the layout is completed before the big capitals react, he doesn't dare to say that he will build a Microsoft and Google, but there is still a great chance to replicate the success of "Tik Tok" in his previous life, which is not an exaggeration.

Sending Jason Hayes away, Jack began to prepare his foolish plan again, Clay's left leg problem will be solved sooner or later, but at least part of it must be solved for now, and it must not be too affected by the training he is about to start at Quantico.

After struggling with acupuncture and massage for a long time, Jack finally decided to use acupuncture, before going to Washington to push oil horses and kill chickens for the two royal sisters, how to massage a 200-pound old man how to think and be greasy.

Everything went well, and that night Jack and Hannah said goodbye from Clay's new home, and just past the door of Danny's house, they received a call from Jubal, just now, a homicide in the Bronx, a traffic mounted officer was killed, and the NYPD asked the FBI for help.

As soon as he finished the call, he saw Danny's plainclothes police car flashing police lights and pulling a long siren, pressing the yellow line and whistling through the middle of the road, and Jack immediately sounded the siren and followed.
