Jimmy told Chris about the psychological changes that occurred when he read the case materials, and wanted to see what Chris said, whether he was too bad and had insufficient mental endurance.
Chris is not surprised. Jimmy is still young. It is not surprising to have such an idea. You must know that the cases that can be included in the FBI case library are not security cases, they are all criminal cases, and most of them are vicious crimes. , let alone young Jimmy, the others are not much better.
Under Chris's secret instruction, Jimmy started his leisurely emergency life. There were no new cases, and he didn't want to accept old cases. Even if he wanted to deal with these cases, he would have to wait for a while. It's a pity that because I can't just go out for a walk, even if I have leisure time, I still have to stay in the office building.
Jimmy bought a Walkman after get off work. He could wear earplugs in the office and shake his head while reading other information. The reason why I didn’t buy a CD player was because the Walkman is relatively small and it is more convenient to put it on the left belt. Because the right belt holds the gun holster, there is really no better place. The headphones go from behind the body to the shoulders and are worn. It won't be too obvious when wearing a suit. The disc of the CD player is a bit large and inconvenient.
An FBI agent is also a profession, and the office is also a workplace. As long as his boss doesn't take care of things, many things can be easily solved. If he were not in the same office as Chris, Jimmy would even want to put a vinyl record player and stereo directly in the office to make the office more comfortable. It would be a bit of a waste if there were only two people, Jimmy and Chris, in an office of more than 30 square meters.
Jimmy's idea is not unique to him. Various personal items can be seen in many offices, and a simple golf ball was even found in one office before. Relatively speaking, it's relatively free here, as long as you don't disturb others.
Jimmy was thinking about how to decorate the environment of his office. After Chris answered the phone, he asked him to get his clothes and leave.
"What happened?" Jimmy asked as he ran to the elevator.
"Our people were attacked." Chris said simply and said nothing more. When he came to the underground parking lot, Jimmy asked Chris to wait while he took out the body armor and equipment bag from the trunk of the car and put them away. In Chris's car, he decided to take advantage of the car today.
Chris kept frowning on the way. He just said, "Something happened at home of an old friend." and stopped telling Jimmy the details. Jimmy knew from the look on Chris's face that the matter probably had nothing to do with the bureau, and that something was wrong with his friend.
Chris drove all the way to Jersey City. Because Jersey City, where New York and New Jersey meet, is close to New York, many people who work in New York choose to buy a house or rent an apartment in Jersey City to save money or pursue large space. Jersey City is also developing well. Many people regard Jersey City as the Sixth District of New York.
Chris stopped in a block where there were townhouses on both sides of the road. A three-story building with white walls in front of it had been cordoned off by the Jersey City police, and some people were surrounding it.
Chris got off the car and walked directly over. Jimmy followed him and came outside the cordon. They showed their FBI IDs and then walked to the front of the building. An old man with gray hair was sitting on the ground in front of the door, holding his hands He held his head and his body twitched occasionally.
Chris came next to him, turned around and sat next to him, "Vince, what happened?"
The old man Vince heard Chris's voice, raised his head and glanced at him, and then shouted with a cry: "Big C, they are all dead, all dead. My family..."
Chris held his shoulders and whispered in his ear to comfort him. Jimmy looked at the situation without disturbing them. He walked directly to the policeman next to him, flashed his ID, and asked what happened here.
The police also saw the reaction of the old man Vince after they arrived. He pulled Jimmy and the two of them went to a quiet place and whispered about the case.
The old man Vince returned home early in the morning from out of town. When he opened the door, he found his daughter lying in the corridor from the bedroom to the living room, and his wife died on the bed. The house was turned into a mess. He screamed so loudly that because it was daytime, the neighbor from the next door house also came over to take a look at the situation and then called the police.
The police are now collecting evidence in the building. Vince has been sitting on the ground crying since the police arrived until Chris arrived.
Jimmy glanced over at Vince, who apparently called Chris before the police arrived. The evidence collection in the building is not over yet, and it is not convenient for them to go in directly. They should wait here for Chris and Vince to stabilize their emotions.
And there is another problem. This is Jersey City, which belongs to the state of New Jersey. Chris and Jimmy belong to the FBI in New York City, New York. Although they are both within the New York metropolitan area, they are indeed across state lines and their authority is insufficient.
Jimmy stood aside and waited. After a while, Vince seemed to have calmed down a little, without the heartbreaking cry just now. Jimmy walked up to Chris, bent down and whispered in his ear. He said, "Do you want to contact Hughes?"
Chris shook his head and waved his hand to let Jimmy stay aside. Okay, Jimmy returned to the previous position and continued to wait. Now he is actually confused. He doesn't even know who this Vince is, but he must be Chris's friend, and he has a very good relationship with him.
This kind of waiting time was really torturous. Jimmy had already turned around in his mind countless times before Chris stood up and walked to Jimmy's side.
Chris: "You go back to the station first and be on standby. I'll stay with the old man for a while."
Jimmy turned and glanced at Vince: "Tell me something, who is that Vince? If Hughes asks, I won't know everything."
Chris' face was still expressionless, which was very different from his usual appearance: "I will notify Hughes, you go back."
Jimmy looked at Chris, thought for a moment and asked, "Are you going to investigate this case? I'll accompany you too."
Chris shook his head, "This is our business. You go back and I will take care of it. That's it."
After saying that, Chris turned around and returned to Vince. He pulled Vince up, walked to the police, and handed him over to be taken to the police station. Jimmy came to the back of Chris's car and took out his equipment bag and body armor from the trunk. Chris drove to the Jersey City Police Department, following the police car in front.
Jimmy looked at Chris leaving, and suddenly found that he was unfamiliar with everything about Chris. He usually had no feelings for him, but now when something happened, he was like an outsider. We have been working together for a while, but I never seemed to think about getting to know my partner. Rather than being a partner in the same group, I might as well regard him as an instructor, guiding me on tasks and arrangements at work.
This is the feeling. Jimmy thought about it. Since he came to the New York office after training at the FBI Academy, the people around him have been changing back and forth. It seems that he has never thought about getting to know a person seriously, including Hughes, Ruiz, Peter, Jones and others. Except for meeting everyone during work hours, I always wander around alone on weekdays. It seems that I have never paid attention to their other situations, such as family, hobbies, and vacations. Speaking of which, this kind of relationship does not seem to be enough to say that they are friends, but more of a work relationship and colleague relationship.
Why is this happening? In my previous life, I was very familiar with my comrades-in-arms. We all had lifelong friendships. I trusted others to protect my own safety. Everyone was for me and I was for everyone. Why did I seem to have forgotten how to do this when I got here? Have you interacted with colleagues and friends?
Jimmy stuffed the body armor into his equipment bag, took a taxi and returned to Federation Square. Sitting in the office, Jimmy was still thinking about the idea that had just occurred to him.
Looking back on the more than three years since he came to this world, he has come into contact with so many people. The only people he really knew and knew were Cagg and James when they were county police officers. His first friend was the homeless Jerry, and he was also the one who met his daughter. I only learned something about him when I was in trouble. Before, except for occasionally sending some food and food and chatting with him, I had never known anything about him.
The other people in the county police station know very little about them. Deputy Sheriff Martin, Assistant Amy and the others have also dealt with them a lot, but they really don’t remember anything about them. Noah, this first A person who taught him police skills, and his relationship with Kag was even better than him.
And Justin, it seems that the relationship with Justin has been changing since he came to New York. Until the last time James was shot and refused his request to share information, there was basically no contact after that.
Tool man, yes. Jimmy thought about the people he had known in the past three years. It seemed that he did not care about them as real friends, but just people walking together on the road, just like driving a long distance on Highway 50. Pick up people on the way and get off at the station and continue on your own.
I bought a house before, thinking that it was my home, but in my heart, I seemed to have never really regarded that house as my home. Even after being reborn in this world, I still did not regard this world as my own. It was like Just like playing a game, treat this world as an RPG game. You are just a passerby, coming to play and do tasks. Others are just NPCs. Except for some interactions when doing tasks, you usually don't pay attention to anything else other than communication with them.
A person was thinking wildly in the office. The faces in front of him appeared and disappeared in his mind, and related things flashed one by one, but he could never grasp the key point. Jimmy's mind was in a state of confusion.
I don't know how long it took, but Jimmy's stomach growled. He turned his head and glanced at Chris's position. He hadn't come back yet, and of course, he couldn't come back. Picking up the suit, Jimmy stood up and left the office, and went directly to Hughes's office. No matter what happens in the future, he should first communicate with Hughes about Chris. Although Chris said he would call, he always Do something.
Knocking on Hughes' door, Jimmy walked in.
Jimmy: "Hughes, Chris went to Jersey City."
Hughes nodded: "I understand, he may not come back in the next few days, you have to keep an eye on things on your side."
Jimmy: "Do I know what happened to him? Who is that Vince?"
Hughes waved his hand: "It's all a matter of the older generation. It has nothing to do with you and you can't handle it. Just take care of his home for him. Go back."
Jimmy didn't give up. He walked directly across from Hughes, "I just want to know who that Vince is. I just care about Chris. I don't worry about the case, but I want to know if Chris is in danger."
Hughes looked at the stubborn Jimmy and had nothing to do, "Vince was Chris's partner for a long time and has been retired for three years. Okay, Chris will take care of it. Your biggest contribution is to take care of his home." "
Seeing that Hughes really didn't want to say more, Jimmy nodded and left Hughes' office. It seemed that this matter was really a matter for the older generation. Whether it was Chris or Hughes, they both directly refused Jimmy's participation. That There is definitely something else going on with Vince, and if he was just a former FBI agent, or a former partner of Chris, this definitely shouldn't be the reaction.
Jimmy went downstairs, found a food truck, bought two tacos to fill his stomach, and returned to the office to continue working. After get off work, he went home directly and still cooked dinner by himself. Since buying a house, he spent more and more time cooking by himself.
What happened to Chris today made Jimmy confused. He should think about what to do in the future. This is a real world, not a game world. Although living is important, real life is not just living. Since you want to call this real world home, you must completely integrate yourself into this world. First, make some friends. Of course, his goal is not to make friends at the dinner table or wine shop.
The next day, Jimmy returned to the office with a backpack, took care of his own affairs first, and then took out the contents of the backpack. After having tea with the psychiatrist Mary, he actually wanted to buy a tea set for fun. After buying a house, he did buy a simple tea set, but he didn't have time to use it at all. To drink tea, just pour the tea leaves into the glass with boiling water.
Now that he was alone in the office, he had nothing to do. He brought the tea set directly to the office. Well, let's try it first. If the tea he made was good, he would find other people to try it too.
Although you want to make friends, you can't just run over and care about their situation. It's too deliberate and makes people feel bad. It's better to think of more reasons to get together with everyone and take your time.
Jimmy knew that everyone else had different troubles, especially Ruiz. Several times he saw him, he found that he was mentally ill. If it weren't for his identity, he would have just eliminated the source of his troubles for him. This is often the case. With a gun in your hand, your mentality will naturally be different. The greater the ability, the greater the destructive power. If he did not have great self-control, Jimmy would have taken action long ago.
For such a small gang in the city, Jimmy's ability is crushing. If it were on the great plains without any obstruction, Jimmy might not be able to be restrained by various suppressions, but in an urban environment, with his ability to move around in a small area, his perspective ability and his invincible precision marksmanship at close range, more than ten or twenty people, as long as they did not enter directly, They surrounded the center of the circle, and Jimmy could definitely fight his way through.
Well, I don’t want to think too much about it. Let’s make tea first and then invite them to drink tea and relax.
