Entering December, in winter, the temperature dropped a lot, and Jimmy could no longer bear the outdoor tent. He rented an apartment near the restaurant and stopped his "wilderness survival" process.
For Jimmy, the busy daily restaurant life makes him feel extremely bored. The idea of becoming a police officer that Noah mentioned that day went over and over in his mind. It was undeniable that this was a good starting career for him, a low-level employee with nothing.
Time flies, 1999 is about to come to an end, and Jimmy has been in the new world for more than three months. For society, he, a rookie, has gradually integrated into the society, becoming a native, proficient in southern slang, and becoming a stranger to restaurant customers. Familiarity, physical integration, more than 2 months of AP training and patrolling, and a thorough understanding of the surrounding streets and shops.
Since his first night patrol, in just one month, Jimmy has participated in 8 AP missions, accumulating nearly 40 hours, which is far more than ordinary APs. In fact, other APs generally accumulate 40 hours in terms of quarterly statistics. In all likelihood, it will take more than half a year.
For APs in places like New York and Los Angeles, due to various reasons, they recruit more APs and can summon a group of APs to work at any time. For states like Arkansas, which has one of the lowest incomes in the United States, it is not so easy.
Thanks to one of the poorest states in the United States, although Jimmy's salary is not high, his consumption is even lower. Coupled with the deep-rooted habit of saving money, he now has nearly 3,000 yuan in savings, although it is not much. But at least it was enough to support him to go back to his hometown for a vacation. Because he had no previous memory, he had no idea of the previous story of this body. An idea kept lingering in his mind, which was to go to San Francisco and take a look at the address on the driver's license to see what happened.
Christmas is just a few days away, and it's almost as important as Thanksgiving. The police department has made an appointment in advance for Jimmy to be on duty on Christmas Eve. The reasons are more painful for Jimmy. There are two reasons. One is that the restaurant closes early on Christmas Eve, and the other is because he is Chinese. It is known that Chinese Americans do not celebrate Christmas very much...
Jimmy didn't refuse, because he really didn't have anything to do alone. He was resting anyway. There was not much difference between lying in bed and going to the police station to patrol in a police car. The key was that as an AP, he was on duty more frequently. The bureau promised to settle an AP subsidy for him after New Year's Day.
Jon's restaurant is quite famous in the surrounding communities. Most of its daily customers are neighbors in the surrounding communities. It is relatively stable. Jimmy, who has been working for three months, is now very skilled and can take over the ordering task. Karen and Anne are also happy so they can take turns taking vacations. Everyone knows that Jimmy is single, carefree, and enthusiastic, so...
On December 24, the day before Christmas, Jimmy packed up and went directly from the restaurant to the police station. He still didn’t have his own car, so he basically took a taxi to the police station. Afterwards, the police would take him back to his residence or restaurant. Occasionally, he would take a taxi to the police station. If you are lucky, you can meet a police patrol car at the door and take a ride or something. The people in the police station are also very familiar with Jimmy. We chat on the way and have a happy ride.
"Jimmy, you are partnering with Mason today." Amy assigned Jimmy a task, then packed up and went home. As a clerk, Amy did not need to work overtime at night.
"Mason, I'm ready." Jimmy put on the AP suit and put an extra pair of masks in his pocket. Because he sometimes needs to pull the isolation belt, he often stands in the cold wind. The winter police uniform is very warm, but his face is extremely cold.
"Hi, Jimmy, get in the car." Mason went to the parking lot and drove the police car to the door of the building. After Jimmy got in the car, he started his ninth patrol.
"Mason, I heard from Noah that you took Christmas off, why did you come to work overtime again?"
"Hey, I had made an appointment with my wife to go to Clearwater, Florida. Unfortunately, she had a fever yesterday and the family doctor advised against long-distance travel, so the plan was cancelled."
"Oh, I hope she is well. It doesn't matter if you work overtime. The accumulated overtime hours can be redeemed for paid leave next year. It's also good to travel in the summer."
"Adam 36, detained, No. XX, West 11th Street, the caller said her boyfriend's mother locked her boyfriend in the room and refused to let him out."
"Adam36 received."
Mason rushed towards his destination with his police lights on. A girl wearing a headscarf stood on the side of the road. Mason parked the car in front of the girl, got out of the car and asked:
"Did you call the police?"
"Yes, my boyfriend hasn't gone out for four days. He said before that his mother stopped him from going out."
"Stand back. Jimmy, you come in with me."
"Okay." Jimmy also got out of the passenger car after hearing Mason's arrangement. Different police officers have different requirements for AP. Since Mason asked him to go in, let's go in together.
"Pulaski County Police, please open the door." Mason knocked on the door, but no one answered, and he knocked a few more times.
"Jimmy, get ready to go in." Mason took a step back and was about to kick the door.
"Wait a minute, officer, I have the key to the door." The girl stopped Mason and took out the key to open the door.
Mason was in front and Jimmy was behind. After entering the door, Mason looked around the living room and kitchen on the first floor and found no one. Then he went up the stairs and found two people in a bedroom, a middle-aged woman holding a bag in her left hand. A Bible, holding a cross in his right hand, muttering words, a young man was tied to the bed, with multiple blood marks on his naked upper body.
When Mason and the others came up, they happened to see the woman beating the boy with a cross. Mason rushed up, pulled the woman, threw her to the ground, and then began to remove the ropes that tied the boy.
"Jimmy, control that woman."
Jimmy also rushed forward, pressed the fallen woman face down, grabbed her arms and handcuffed her.
At this time, I also heard clearly what the woman was saying. It turned out that she was asking God to exorcise the devil from the boy. Jimmy had goosebumps on his arms. For him, who has lived in an atheist society for nearly 30 years, this kind of nonsense is really hard to understand, especially for someone who seems to be religious and crazy.
Mason untied the boy and used the intercom to call for an ambulance. The boy was almost unconscious and looked severely dehydrated. With the scars on his body, abuse, detention, and illegal injuries, he would definitely not be able to escape.
"Jimmy, take her into custody, file a report, abuse, confine her."
"Okay." Jimmy pulled the woman downstairs, put her into the cage in the back seat, and began to use the car radio to reply to the dispatch. After the report, he went back upstairs. The ambulance arrived in 5 minutes. Jimmy cooperated with the emergency personnel to rescue the boy. Send the ambulance, the mission is over.
