Jimmy was really speechless when he heard Lu Yinzi's evaluation of OPR. OPR has already investigated him before, mainly focusing on his source of funds and the shooting of the suspect. This time it was really an unforeseen disaster.
Hughes submitted Jimmy's promotion application, and the mastermind behind the scenes arranged an attack on Jimmy and an internal investigation of him. Fuller was so idle that he just had time to find someone to handle it. Several reasons came together. Together, this led to the large-scale investigation by Fuller's people within the office.
Jimmy: "Where's the mole? How will they deal with it?"
Lu Yinzi shook his head: "Usually there won't be any special consequences. It might just be expulsion. If it's serious, the sentence will be a few years."
Jimmy drank the rest of the wine in a depressed gulp, "The price is too low."
Lu Yinzi: "We are the FBI after all. These people have been exposed to too many things and cannot do too much. As long as they are not extremely harmful, they usually will not be severely punished."
Jimmy: "By the way, I told you before that I wanted to go south. Can you help me ask?"
Luyinzi looked at Jimmy in surprise: "Didn't you go to Hughes' house? Didn't you ask me by the way?"
Jimmy: "No, that's not what we're talking about today."
Luyinz: "I said it, but Hughes hasn't decided yet. Let's wait."
Jimmy: "Okay. I'll get you a drink."
Jimmy came to the bar with a wine glass and said, "Woody, give me another drink." Jimmy took out his change, took out one and put it on the bar. Woody shook his head and pushed it back, then took a bottle of bourbon and poured it for Jimmy. One cup, "No need."
Jimmy looked at Woody. His expression was the same as before, but the more he looked at the smile on his face, the more he felt it was a bitter smile. It seemed that the bar was closing and it had a big impact on him.
When Jimmy came, he didn't see a notice posted on the door of the bar. It seemed that the closing had not yet been notified to the customers. Jimmy took the wine glass and returned to Luyinzi's side.
Lu Yinzi: "Have you really made up your mind? Go south."
Jimmy nodded: "Always passively waiting for them to come over, it really affects my life so much that I don't even dare to let my girlfriend come to my house."
Lu Yinzi sighed. Jimmy's idea must be okay. If he were an ordinary person, even if he knew someone was causing trouble behind him, he would have no way to deal with it and could only passively accept it.
But Jimmy is different. This guy's hands-on ability is amazing. If he is really allowed to go south, he doesn't know how much trouble he will cause. Maybe Azte will just disappear. The key is that such a result may not only affect one or two departments, but if nothing else, the dea will probably jump in.
The DEA must know that Azit is smuggling and selling drugs, but without substantial evidence, they can't touch Azit at all. They can only catch some small fish and shrimps.
If Jimmy gets rid of Azte, the DEA will definitely feel that the FBI has reached into their rice bowl, overstepped their boundaries, and caused them to lose a lot of potential funding.
The FBI in New York had a reason to do this when they raided Azite's people. Are you going too far by crossing the border directly from the Northeast to the Southwest to crack down on gangs?
While drinking, I thought about it. It was probably unrealistic to stop Jimmy. At most, it would only delay him for a while. Now that Hughes had told Jimmy what happened behind the scenes, he probably wouldn't stop him for too long.
Lu Yinzi: "Don't think too much. Hughes is probably also considering it. This matter involves a large scope. Let's wait until he gets in touch."
Jimmy nodded, no more than a day or two, just wait. While drinking bourbon, Jimmy suddenly remembered what happened at the bar and happened to ask.
Jimmy: "By the way, Luyinz, let me ask you something, what is our office's attitude towards agents engaging in business activities?"
Lu Yinzi: "Why do you ask that?"
Jimmy: "Do you still remember the bartender Woody? He told me before that he might be unemployed soon. The owner of this bar is closing down and is planning to transfer the liquor license and the bar."
Lu Yinzi: "You want to win?"
Jimmy nodded: "This place is right next to my apartment, it's convenient, and Woody is also my friend. I've known him for a long time, so I think I can have a place to drink here."
Lu Yinzi: "Don't come forward on your own, don't use your name."
Jimmy: "That's it?"
Lu Yinzi nodded: "Just don't be too obvious, and don't let this delay your normal work."
Jimmy nodded: "I understand, I'll go back and find someone to find out. I've never opened a bar, so I have no experience."
Lu Yinzi: "Just ask a professional manager to handle it, and keep it confidential, especially the OPR. You have embarrassed them this time. To be honest, it is possible that they are specifically watching you."
Jimmy is really having a headache. He is being targeted by the opr. Life will definitely not be easy in the future, but the problem is not big. As long as he is not involved in any big violations, no one will make trouble over small problems. . If nothing else, everyone has to consider whether Jimmy's reputation as a fierce one is worth it.
After talking about important things, Jimmy and Luyinzi chatted casually for a while, and Luyinzi put down his cup and left. This sullen old man actually went to participate in a club event just now, and then left after receiving a call from Jimmy for a while. If it weren't for Jimmy, he would probably be quite happy tonight.
Jimmy waited until there were not many people in the bar before calling Woody over.
Jimmy: "Woody, sit down and let's talk. Do you really want to go home or travel around?"
Woody sighed, "Wait for me." He turned back to the bar and took a bottle of bourbon and a glass, "I've been here for many years, how could I think of giving up my life here? Cheers."
Jimmy clinked glasses with Woody: "So what are you going to do?"
Woody: "Take a break and look for a job again. Maybe leave Manhattan and try your luck elsewhere."
Jimmy: "What about the other bars?"
Woody shook his head: "It depends on luck, but it doesn't make sense if you just become a bartender."
Jimmy: "Oh, if, I mean if, this store changes its owner, will you stay?"
Woody: "You don't understand. In a bar industry like this, the boss usually brings people he knows well to take over various affairs of the bar. I'm not only a bartender, but also the on-site manager of the bar."
Jimmy: "So, actually there is no boss in the store now, you are handling it?"
Woody nodded, and Jimmy finally understood what was going on. No wonder Woody acted so lonely. After the boss sold the bar, he went to work as a bartender elsewhere. It would be too painful to fall down.
Jimmy thought for a while: "Drink, I want to think carefully."
Woody: "What do you mean? You want to buy the bar?"
Jimmy spread his hands, "I've never run a bar."
Woody reacted and looked at Jimmy with bright eyes, "You do have this idea, right? That's great, I think..."
"Stop! Woody." Jimmy picked up the glass, "I need to think about it again and don't tell anyone else about this."
Woody nodded: "I understand." The two clinked glasses, and Jimmy drank the wine in one gulp, stood up and left the bar.
Jimmy is a complete novice when it comes to running a bar, but he has acquaintances who can consult him. Jimmy came home, washed up, went to the study, picked up the Little Rock cell phone and dialed Justin's number. Justin didn't answer the phone, but called back a few minutes later.
Justin: "Hi Jimmy, long time no see."
Jimmy: "Hey Justin, are you busy right now?"
Justin: "Everything is fine. Is something wrong?"
Jimmy: "I have something to ask. If there is a bar on the Upper West Side in Upper Manhattan that I want to transfer, will I be able to make money if I take it?"
Justin: "Do you want to be the boss? That's Manhattan. Of course you can make money, as long as you don't mess around."
Jimmy: "There is a bar I frequent near my apartment. The owner seems to want to transfer the bar. I have never done this before. Do you have any suggestions?"
Justin: "This cannot be solved in one or two sentences. I suggest you find a professional to help you deal with it. I think you don't have time to be the boss."
Jimmy: "I definitely can't manage it. I still have to go to work. Do you know anyone well?"
Justin: "Wait for my call."
Jimmy: "Thanks."
The current relationship between Justin and Jimmy is actually more of a friend than the relationship between the original employer and a part-time employee, especially since Jimmy has a good relationship with Justin's original boss Winston, of course he treats Jimmy very well.
------------------
Justin's efficiency was very good. In just two days, the person he contacted had already called Jimmy to make an appointment.
Jimmy met the person introduced by Justin in a coffee shop. He was a middle-aged Latino man with slightly curly black hair and a very short beard that was neatly trimmed. He was about the same height as Jimmy. He was wearing a handmade suit and a vest underneath. A brown tie with small blue patterns. Except for the racial disadvantage, it looks similar to those upstream.
"Diego Insac. Nice to meet you."
Yinsak sat opposite Jimmy, introduced his name, called the waiter over, and ordered a cup of coffee.
Jimmy: "Jimmy Young, I think Justin told you."
Yinsak: "If you want to take over a bar, you need a qualified manager."
Jimmy nodded: "Let me introduce you."
Yin Sak is an excellent professional manager, but he is not very lucky. He suffered heavy losses in the previous stock market crash, and has been working in some small companies since then.
Justin is in the intelligence business, so there is no problem with guest headhunting.
After understanding Jimmy's needs, it would be no problem to find someone who is capable and doesn't do so many bad things to be the bar manager. Moreover, Yin Sak had worked as a manager in a bar before, and now he comes to Jimmy's place. Seamlessly connected.
Jimmy chatted with him for a while, and he felt relieved because Justin was helping with the background check. Jimmy called his lawyer to prepare the contract, and then asked Yinsak to contact the bar owner on his behalf. He would communicate with the other party for the rest of the bar transfer, and Jimmy would only make the final decision.
After going through all this stuff, Jimmy finally relaxed. Things in the bureau were not too troublesome, but soon he was shocked by a piece of news.
Many scandals involving government assassinations were revealed. The Black Heather Project was exposed. CIA Director Ezra Kramer was investigated by the judiciary. Two senior CIA executives were arrested. The Black Heather Project planner and senior director Albert Herr Noah Watson, senior director of program implementation.
The arrest of Watson, the head of the Counter-Terrorism Bureau, had a big impact on Jimmy. If he had information that needed precise investigation, he still liked to come to the Counter-Terrorism Bureau. The information here was the most complete and fastest. The key was to talk to Watson. They had some kind of friendship, and he didn't refuse when they came to him.
Jimmy saw it during work hours. Mahone and the others just frowned and didn't say anything. Jimmy picked up his clothes and went to Hughes' office.
Jimmy: "Hughes, did you see the news?"
Hughes: "What?"
Jimmy: "Watson was caught, it seems, because of a project called Project Black Heather."
Hughes nodded: "This has nothing to do with us and will not have any impact on us."
Jimmy: "We have cooperated with them several times before. Are we really not going to be investigated? Some previous investigations were not official..."
Hughes: "Okay, don't worry, this is an internal matter of their CIA and has nothing to do with us, and we won't come to investigate. Don't worry, just go back."
Jimmy nodded, turned and left Hughes' office.
Jimmy was about to go back to the office when the phone rang with an unknown number. Jimmy picked it up and heard a female voice: "Agent Jimmy Young?"
Jimmy: "It's me, who are you?"
"Start certification: Devil's Tower."
Jimmy was surprised. He was so familiar with this authentication word that he never forgot it: "Response: Yellowstone."
"Authentication completed. Agent Yang, please go to the New York Counterterrorism Bureau as soon as possible and contact Acting Director Caitlin Prado."
"receive."
The most troublesome thing happened, Jimmy's information was dug out. Now that the call has been placed on my FBI phone number, it means that my identity has been completely confirmed and I didn't run away.
】
Jimmy returned to the office and said hello to Mahone, saying he needed to go out. Mahone nodded, and Jimmy turned and left the office, going downstairs and driving to the Counterterrorism Bureau.
After not seeing each other for a few days, the atmosphere in the Counter-Terrorism Bureau has become very tense. It can be clearly seen that the people downstairs are very energetic and not at all lax as before.
Jimmy registered at the front desk and got permission to go upstairs. The acting director's office was next to Watson's office. It seemed that it had been set up recently, because Jimmy remembered that this room was a small conference room before.
"Dongdong" Jimmy knocked on the door, and a middle-aged blond woman inside said: "Please come in."
Jimmy pushed the door open and closed it behind him.
Jimmy: "Ms. Prado, Agent Jimmy Young."
Caitlin Prado pushed a fingerprint reader over on the table, Jimmy reached out and pressed his fingers on it, and the red light turned into a green light.
Caitlin nodded while looking at the computer, took back the fingerprint reader, and said, "Jimmy, can I call you that? OK, when did you start your latent mission?"
Jimmy: "Four years ago."
Caitlin: "Target?"
Jimmy: "Latent, waiting to be awakened."
Caitlin: "Well done, you can become a senior FBI agent. It seems that you have done a lot of things in the past few years."
Jimmy didn't reply, his face was calm and he didn't express any emotion. He has simulated this scene countless times, and now he is just turning his previous simulations into real-life acting.
Caitlin: "Now, I have a task for you." After saying that, she took a folder from the pile of documents, opened it, took a look at it, and handed it to Jimmy.
Jimmy: "Sorry, madam, my latent mission needs to wait for my immediate superior to wake up, so I can't accept your mission now."
Caitlin: "Your boss Kodesky died three years ago, and now I have taken over your job."
Jimmy narrowed his eyes: "Where is Senior Director Conklin?"
Caitlin sighed: "He died too, two years ago."
Jimmy: "Senior Advisor Ward Abbott."
Caitlin: "He died too, a few months ago. Don't ask anymore, the Treadstone Project has been cancelled, and all relevant supervisors have died or been captured."
Jimmy: "I still can't confirm your command."
Caitlin opened the drawer, picked up a file folder from the top and handed it to Jimmy.
Jimmy opened it and took a look. It was his CIA file, but this file looked like a copy, because the photo above and the signature below were printed directly on the file. Didn't Tom say that this file was kept secretly at Langley? Even if it was discovered, it should be someone from the Langley headquarters. How could the file be taken to New York so easily?
Jimmy looked through the file information, which was exactly the same as what Tom had left for him before, except that there was no CIA ID card.
