Times Square is not far from Lower Manhattan. However, the traffic problem in New York is so great that if the driver does not turn on the lights and sirens and follow the traffic, the driver will definitely suffer from road rage.
Of course, the taxis he takes now will definitely not have police lights and sirens. Speaking of which, Jimmy has not enjoyed police lights and sirens since he resigned from the county police at the end of last year. For more than half a year, he really missed it.
By the way, let me popularize a useless little knowledge that is easily overlooked.
The cars issued by the FBI to ordinary agents are not equipped with police lights and sirens as standard. Although they have the right to install them, they are generally only used in special support units or specific fleets, and are not available on ordinary agents' cars.
Many detectives secretly make up police downlights and siren broadcasts to make up the money. Most people don't know whether they are qualified to install them anyway. It doesn't matter if no one cares about it. If there are really outsiders reporting or doing other bad things, the FBI will come up with regulations to explain that as federal police officers, they are qualified to use police lights and sirens, so the agents are not violating the rules, but It will always make sense internally.
Don’t be fooled by the movies. Regardless of their level, those FBI agents immediately activate the built-in police lights and sirens in the car as soon as they chase a car. It’s more of an artistic process. It’s not to say that there are no such situations, but this kind of directness There are very few cars with built-in police lights and sirens.
The taxi driver slowly moved out of the middle city, and finally came to a place with slightly better traffic. After twists and turns, he finally arrived at Jimmy's destination.
After Jimmy got off the car, he looked at the building in front of him and was a little confused. He had seen a lot of various buildings in Manhattan. This arrow-shaped building in front of him really made him feel stuck in his throat. He didn't know what to say if he wanted to complain. .
The entire building looks like a triangle when viewed from above. The key is the sharp angle. The angle is less than 45 degrees. The entrance of the building is at the top of the sharp angle of the triangle and has been rounded. No matter how you look at it, you feel that the original architect was wrong.
Jimmy stood outside the Continental Hotel and called Justin, who told him to go straight in and wait for him in the lobby.
Jimmy stepped up the steps, and the waiter outside helped open the door. Jimmy walked into the lobby and saw Justin directly in the sitting area on the right.
Justin is still very handsome today, wearing a close-fitting suit and his hair is meticulously arranged, unlike Jimmy, who went out wearing jeans and a casual shirt today.
Jimmy is surprised that he can still enter the hotel in this outfit. Normally, high-end stores have dress requirements for customers. In his outfit, refusing to enter directly is what he thinks is high-end and classy. The style of the Continental Hotel.
Jimmy sat directly opposite Justin, "Hey, Justin, why do you suddenly think of coming to New York? Aren't you always in Little Rock?"
Justin put down the newspaper in his hand, "Well, I usually can't come over, but this time I want to discuss some cooperation matters with Winston, so you know, I can't find anyone else for this matter."
Justin packed up the things on the table and put them back in his handbag, "Have you brought that black card?"
Jimmy nodded, he took out his wallet from his pants pocket, took out the card and showed it to Justin, and then he was about to take the wallet back, "Give it to me. Follow me." Justin interrupted Jimmy's movement, and he reached out from Jimmy's hand. He took the card, stood up, picked up his handbag, and walked to the lobby front desk.
Justin: "Charon, I want to see Winston."
Charon: "Wait a moment." Charon picked up the phone and dialed a number, "Sir, AR Justin wants to see you. Okay."
Charon hung up the phone and said to Justin: "Speakeasy."
Justin: "Thank you."
Justin led Jimmy to turn right through the lobby, take the stairs down to the basement, and pass through the underground service area and an equipment area with a dense network of pipes. He stopped in front of an iron door, took out a gold coin from his pocket and put it into the door. At the coin slot, a hole opened in the door. I took a look, then opened the door to let Justin and Jimmy in.
After entering the door, I heard the sound of jazz. This was not the music played. There was a small performance stage in the bar, and several musicians and a singer were singing low and soft songs.
The environment here directly reminds Jimmy of Justin's bar before. It seems that Justin's bar should be set up based on this place, and many places look the same.
Justin brought Jimmy to the bar. A beautiful woman at the bar saw Justin and her eyes widened: "Holy shit! Justin, you are coming back."
Justin smiled and said, "Hi, Addy."
Justin put his bag at his feet and sat on the stool in front of the bar. Jimmy took the seat next to Justin.
The girl at the bar is wearing a sleeveless black vest instead of the traditional white shirt of a waiter. You can see a large flower tattoo from the right side of her neck to her right arm. Her hair is tied back and the ends of her hair are tied around her neck. On the left shoulder.
Jimmy had no way of guessing the age of the girl who had dressed up, but it looked like she wasn't particularly old, probably about 30 years old.
Beauty Adi said: "Same as before?"
Justin: "Yep."
Adi turned to look at Jimmy: "What about you? Handsome guy, what do you call me?"
Jimmy: "Just call me Jimmy."
Adi: "Good evening, Jimmy, what do you want?"
Jimmy: "It's your choice."
Adi smiled at Jimmy, turned around and started mixing drinks.
Justin turned to look inside the bar. He was probably looking for someone. After confirming the location, Justin turned to Jimmy and said, "I'm going to find someone. You wait for me here."
Jimmy nodded and Justin left the position directly.
Adi: "Your olive martini, classic."
Jimmy picked up the wine glass and gestured to Adi, "Thank you, Adi." He took a sip, and a spicy taste spread in his mouth, "Nice. It makes me feel like I have tasted Justin's craftsmanship, but he should learn from you."
Adi smiled and didn't answer, turned around and started serving the others. Jimmy didn't ask for trouble. He put down his glass and began to look around at the environment in the bar.
Jimmy's observation is different from others. Most people look at people, but Jimmy directly activates his mental eyes to observe the surroundings, including the architectural details behind the walls. The composition formed in his mind can basically detect the hidden grids around him. Or hide a room.
And Jimmy's mind eye will not be discovered yet. He has looked in the mirror before and recorded himself using the mind eye through a video recorder. In fact, nothing has changed, including the eyes themselves.
When Jimmy looked at the wall, others thought he was observing the mural, but in fact he was already observing the space behind the wall. From this point of view, there was no one better suited than him to scout terrain and other activities.
