Mary and Jimmy were just drinking tea and chatting casually. An hour had passed before they knew it. Neither of them realized the time problem. They didn't realize it until it was over. Mary was still thinking about how to write an evaluation to the FBI because Jimmy's behavior was too normal. It felt like a butcher killing a chicken for cooking. There was no psychological fluctuation at all.
In fact, this is also a very dangerous signal. It means that Jimmy is in a state of complete self-control. If he uses this state well, he will be an agent with strong psychological adjustment ability. If he uses it poorly, he may be a time bomb within the FBI. If such a person is stimulated by something and develops psychological problems, it is very likely that he will become a super-powerful criminal from a powerful law enforcement officer. There are many such cases in history.
Mary thought about it while receiving guests, and finally submitted a normal evaluation report without writing down her guesses. In fact, she did not reject Jimmy's character. On the contrary, she admired Jimmy's character very much, hated evil as much as hatred, was principled, and was old-fashioned. In terms of justice, there are too few people like this.
Jimmy had never thought about what report Mary would submit, because he had never seen the report Mary submitted, including the previous version. In his opinion, he just came to drink tea and chat to complete the FBI's internal process, and there was nothing wrong with it. special.
Jimmy left Mary's studio, seeing how early it was, and drove off, looking for a new church on the road. St. Patrick's Cathedral is too famous and has too many tourists. The key is that it is a bit far away, and Jimmy is too lazy to run that far.
I took a walk around Lower Manhattan and saw several churches, none of which were very pretty. Although Jimmy didn’t have any special hobbies, he didn’t want to find a church that didn’t look good even if he was just pretending. Eventually Jimmy ended up at St. Peter's Church on Lexington Avenue.
This is a church with a rather peculiar shape. It does not have the Gothic appearance of other churches. Instead, it is more inclined to modernist architecture. The front is high, the back is low, and the top slopes down on one side. It looks different from the surrounding tall buildings. Very coordinated.
The interior space is sunken, and the prayer space is very large. It is conservatively estimated that it can accommodate more than 400 people. If you only look at the interior, it is relatively normal and belongs to the traditional church decoration style. And Jimmy also discovered that this place is different from other churches. There is a giant pipe organ embedded here. Good guy, this thing is not just a house built and then installed. It must be built simultaneously when the church is built. It is huge in size and difficult to debug, and ordinary churches may not be able to get it even if they have some money.
Jimmy sat down, took out the cross necklace from his clothes, put it on his forehead and bowed his head to pray. In fact, it was just a show. The video that made the news this time made Jimmy know that he can only do his best to look more normal. After completing the task and killing someone, it is unreasonable not to pray. Even God's executioner needs to let his old man know that he is Good job, right?
Although a lot of time was wasted, the process still needs to be followed. I have missed it several times before, and I can't forget it this time.
After finishing his prayer, Jimmy went to the confession room at the back. A priest received Jimmy in the confession room. He didn't say much, except that as a federal public official, he had taken several lives in action.
The priest seemed completely unaware that the person in the next room was such a vicious person. He just said a few words and left the confessional. Well, this guy is so unreliable, he might as well have been Father Reuter in Little Rock. At least Father Reuter looked more professional.
In the afternoon, Jimmy received a call from Justin and met him at a coffee shop. Justin is still in the same old style, with a complete three-piece suit. No matter when you look at him, he is a very attractive middle-aged man.
Jimmy: "Justin, what's wrong? Why did you suddenly come to New York?"
Justin looked at Jimmy with a smile: "Jimmy, you have done a big thing."
Jimmy blinked with a question mark on his face, "What's the big deal?"
Justin: "A bounty cost 12 people here at the Continental Hotel in New York. Isn't this a big deal?"
Jimmy frowned, "You said 12? Not that many."
Justin's eyes widened: "How many have you done?"
Jimmy: "Four, and three more were killed by the bailiffs. If you lost 12 people, then the remaining five should be due to other reasons, and they were definitely not killed by us."
Justin was not talking, but thinking. Jimmy was drinking coffee and was not talking. The two of them just sat facing each other in a daze.
After a long while, Justin shook his head: "There is something wrong here, but they are not my people, and they are all newcomers, so it doesn't matter. By the way, someone is looking for you this time and wants to buy you a cup of coffee. Let me do it middleman."
Jimmy frowned: "Who? What?"
Justin: "Winston, you've seen it."
Jimmy: "What does he want from me? I haven't communicated with him."
Justin shook his head: "Don't think too much, just meet and chat. I don't want you to feel forced, but I suggest you talk to him. There will be no danger."
Jimmy picked up the coffee and took a sip, and his mind was spinning. When he let Harry go, he was just joking. He was not familiar with Winston at all, but what did he want to talk to him about now? But it's not a big problem. He had considered it at that time. Winston would definitely investigate him. According to his ability, Winston would definitely not deal with him blatantly.
Jimmy put down the coffee cup and looked into Justin's eyes: "Okay."
Justin nodded, and he glanced at his watch: "Then we'll set off later."
At the Continental Hotel, Justin arrived in Jimmy's car. The waiter at the door took Jimmy's keys and drove away. Justin took Jimmy in. Nothing has changed inside the Continental Hotel during this time. Justin said hello to the black front desk, then walked directly into the elevator and reached the roof of the hotel.
Winston should have been informed. He was wearing a dark brown casual suit with no additional accessories. He looked very energetic. He was sitting next to the table. There were coffee pots and coffee cups on the table. The coffee cup in front of him was already there. I drank half of it, and it looked like I had been waiting for a long time.
Winston stood up when he saw Justin and Jimmy coming over, "Welcome to the Continental Hotel, Jimmy, my friend."
Jimmy came to Winston and shook hands with him: "Good afternoon, see you again, Winston."
Winston: "Please have a seat. Justin, thank you."
Justin walked next to Winston, and Jimmy sat opposite Winston. Justin went around to the other side of the table to help pour the coffee, acting like a waiter, and he looked very skilled, as if he was a waiter.
Jimmy was very surprised. He originally thought that Justin was Winston's external partner, and the relationship between the two parties should belong to Party A and Party B. But now it seems that his relationship with Winston is not that simple. You need to know who it is not. All are qualified to observe the boss's talks and on-site services.
Winston: "Sorry, although we have met once before, we haven't had an in-depth chat. I didn't know you had such fighting ability. It's too lazy to just arrange for you to become a service provider. Fortunately, it's not too late now." .”
Jimmy: "It seems Harry has met you."
Winston: "Of course, thank you for bringing Harry back alive. He is an old friend of mine."
Jimmy smiled, "Ah, it's nothing. I didn't know who he was at the beginning. I just thought he was a master. It was a pity to die there like that. Do I know who arranged the bounty mission?"
Winston shook his head: "The arrangements at the administrative center are not something I can interfere with. I'm sorry, I don't know anything about it."
Jimmy: "It's nothing, I just want to know more about it. This case is not mine in the first place. I am just assisting them."
After taking a sip of coffee, Jimmy was a little surprised: "The coffee tastes really good."
Winston smiled and nodded: "It's okay, this is Ethiopia's top coffee beans. Justin?"
Justin nodded, turned and left the rooftop.
Winston waited for Justin to leave before he spoke: "Everyone's strength determines his status. Jimmy, my friend, do you agree?"
Jimmy nodded, and Winston continued: "I came to you this time just to have a chat with you. Are you willing to be my partner?"
Jimmy smiled and said, "Aren't we already cooperating?"
Winston: "Of course it's further cooperation."
Jimmy's smile disappeared, and he looked at Winston seriously: "I wonder how you want to cooperate?"
Winston: "As a partner of the New York Continental, my friend, handles matters that would be inconvenient for anyone else to handle."
Jimmy put his hands on the table and leaned forward: "Please elaborate."
Winston and Jimmy chatted for a while, and Justin came over to deliver a new pot of coffee and left again.
Winston and Jimmy stood up and shook hands with their right hands on the table.
Winston smiled and said: "Nice to work with, my friend."
Jimmy also smiled: "Nice to work with, Winston."
Justin, who was at the door of the rooftop, came over with a bag at this time. Winston stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture, "Justin, help me deliver it."
Justin came to Jimmy and left the rooftop with Jimmy. Justin handed the bag in his hand to Jimmy, "A gift from Winston to you."
Jimmy smiled and said, "There's an unexpected bonus. Thank you Winston for me."
Justin nodded and came to the door of the Continental Hotel with Jimmy. The waiter at the door had already brought Jimmy's Mercury over in advance. Good guy, this service is really thoughtful. Jimmy came down from the rooftop and didn't talk to anyone in the hotel at all. They actually drove the car to the door in advance and handed it over to Jimmy. He had to admire their service.
Justin didn't leave, and Jimmy drove back to the apartment by himself.
Winston is indeed very powerful. Although he doesn’t know where he got the information from, Winston found out all the information about his FBI identity, as well as some of the cases he was responsible for, and even found out about the people he had killed in the past few years. Lots of criminal stuff.
Winston didn't use any reason to threaten him. The cooperation he mentioned before was actually strictly a gentleman's agreement. In other words, when Winston needs Jimmy's help, Jimmy can choose whether to help after consideration, and of course the rewards will be huge. And Jimmy does not belong to the Continental Hotel System, just like Winston said, his friend.
Jimmy didn't know what Winston was thinking, but this condition was like nothing. Although Winston said a lot, in summary, he hoped that Jimmy would become him and become a partner of the Continental Hotel in New York. It was a bit like in martial arts. Just like the priests in the martial arts sect or the external consultants of large companies, they will get corresponding rewards when they deal with some difficult things.
Winston was really shocked when he got Jimmy's file. Whether it was the previous county police file or the FBI Manhattan office file, the data looked fake. In decades, Winston had never heard of any police officer with such a strong record, and it was achieved in just two or three years.
If it is more believable to say that a member of the Delta Force has achieved so many kill records on the battlefield, it is certainly an exaggeration. How could Jimmy, a policeman, achieve so many kill records? Even the killers at the Continental Hotel would not be able to have so many kill records under normal circumstances. Those who can achieve so many data are senior people.
According to what Harry said about the fighting situation when he came back, Jimmy's own fighting ability cannot be matched by the records in these files, because most of the people he killed were ordinary prisoners, and the fighting abilities of these people were simply not comparable to those at the Continental Hotel. The killers, even the newcomers, are much stronger than most criminals outside.
As a senior assassin in the hotel, Harry has super abilities, and he is not bad at being a gold medal killer. Harry continued to observe the villa for several hours starting in the evening. There was no light in the villa until he entered the villa at night. It can be said that he made no mistakes the whole time. If anyone else were in the villa, whether it was the FBI or the bailiffs, they would never be able to withstand Harry's attack.
And since Harry entered the door, he was suppressed by Jimmy in the corner and did not dare to show his face. Such endurance, such shooting skills, and judgment of the current situation all show that Jimmy's ability is definitely better than that of most people in the Continental Hotel. Maybe he can. The only ones who could compare with Jimmy were John Wick and Cassian. According to Harry's judgment, even Wick might not be able to break through Jimmy's protection frontally.
Jimmy's super combat power is so attractive, and with Justin, a man who has observed Jimmy for two years as an intermediary, it can be confirmed that Jimmy's character and attitude are very in line with Winston's requirements. This is also what Winston wants. The reason why Jimmy was invited.
He has been in charge of the Continental Hotel in New York for decades. Although it has always been very smooth and there have been no major disturbances, he is not at the top of the system. People who do not have long-term concerns must have short-term worries. Winston also needs to prepare something for himself. Backup means.
Jimmy is completely unaware of Winston's thoughts, but he is not at a loss. He will not come to Jimmy unless there is a big problem. Jimmy can usually make use of the resources in the Continental Hotel, but of course he still has to pay. Winston also promised to keep Jimmy's secret and not let too many people disturb him. At the same time, the intelligence system of the Continental Hotel can also help Jimmy.
Jimmy has had the two guns for a long time, but because the main revolver has always been the M686-1, the .357 Magnum bullet used does not match those two guns, and the gun he is interested in is the Colt Giant. Python, but the ejection operation is completely different from what we are used to now. The best thing is to find someone to customize a gun with M686 core and Colt Python shape.
Jimmy also inquired with Winston just now. Although the Continental Hotel only provides finished weapons, Winston said that he could help him find a suitable and reliable gunsmith, and Jimmy would just communicate on his own. This can be regarded as Winston's goodwill. Before Jimmy had done anything, he first gave some benefits to improve the relationship between the two parties.
Back at the apartment, Jimmy opened the bag and found two boxes of coffee beans inside. Unexpectedly, he just complimented the coffee on how good it tasted. Winston actually prepared such a gift, and Winston didn't say anything during the whole process. This must be Justin. It's up to him to decide, can his relationship with Winston reach this point?
Jimmy put the coffee in the kitchen, took out his cell phone and started to contact the FBI Support Team's training center. The training plan Jimmy thought of before could not be done in his own house, it would definitely have to be done outside. Fortunately, Jimmy's reputation has now spread internally, and Ruiz does not need help in booking. After giving his name, he promised to coordinate some usage time for Jimmy.
