Jimmy drove a broken car to a gas station to refuel the car, and bought a map of Miami. After seeing the address Li gave him, he regretted it. The distance was too far, so he should go back honestly.
Three hours later, Jimmy returned to the hotel and went to the bathroom to clean up. He came to Dave's room and knocked on the door.
Lucy opened the door and led Jimmy in. Dave was flipping through something in front of the computer while wearing a sling.
Dave: "Jimmy, how's it going?"
Jimmy: "We were captured. There was an accident. People from the Miami office and I found them in a warehouse. There was a shootout and five people were killed. Only one person was captured."
Dave looked at Lucy, who nodded, turned and left the room. Jimmy turned to look at Lucy. She closed the door and knocked on the door opposite. A bodyguard opened the door and left with her.
Dave watched Jimmy turn his head to watch Lucy leave, then turned back again, and then said: "Tell me the details."
Jimmy: "The surveillance team of the Miami office determined their escape direction through traffic surveillance and arranged for people to follow them. They stopped at a warehouse in the city. After Li and I arrived, Li and the detectives arranged by the office Officers raided the warehouse.
Something unexpected happened when we surrounded the warehouse. A gang group from another warehouse happened to be there. The agents who saw the siege thought they were looking for them and opened fire in advance. As a result, Li's raid plan failed and turned into a force attack. .
I wasn't assigned a mission, but when they stormed the warehouse, an agent was shot very quickly, and I went in to help. There was nothing after that. All five gunmen were shot dead. The person I arrested before was unable to shoot back because his arm was injured, so he was the only person alive at the scene. "
Dave closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then said: "You were the one who shot him?"
Jimmy nodded and said nothing.
Dave: "Don't tell anyone else, I'll take care of it."
Jimmy: "Got it."
Dave: "Now that things are over here, let's go back early. I'll confirm the flight and let you know later."
Jimmy: "Mr. Hudson, don't bother me. I'll handle the flight. Leave it to me."
Dave looked at Jimmy and his eyelids twitched, "I still need to communicate with Lucy, please wait for my news."
Jimmy: "Okay, I'm going back to my room first. Goodbye, Mr. Hudson."
Dave nodded and Jimmy turned and left his room. There was a man in the room opposite who had been standing at the door. When Jimmy walked to the elevator, he came out of the room and came to Dave's room.
Jimmy stood in the elevator and watched the man just say a few words and then turned and left Dave's room. It seemed that this was the second bodyguard.
Jimmy did not rest in the room, but went out for a walk. This time he came to Palm Beach and was going back to New York soon. If he went back empty-handed, the consequences would be serious. Of course, the main reason was to appease Nia. He was walking around casually without saying anything in advance. Nia was already very emotional.
Jimmy basically has no special interest in traveling. The only time he went shopping in Palm Beach was basically wasted looking at beautiful women on the beach.
Fortunately, this is also a popular tourist destination after all, and the travel guides produced by many different companies are Jimmy's best guides.
The coconut tree is the symbol of Florida, so coconut sugar and coconut jam are definitely not to be missed. Nia also likes sweet things. There are also famous local pearl products. Jimmy looked at a jewelry store and bought a pair of earrings. These are all for Nia. I hope she can calm down because of Jimmy's hard work.
As for the other things, there really wasn't much else to bring, just commemorative shirts, handicrafts and the like, which Jimmy wasn't interested in.
After dinner and returning to the hotel, Jimmy contacted the car rental company and asked them to come and assess the damage to the car. It took a lot of time to assess the damage. Jimmy swiped his card, signed, and returned the car. Finally, this troublesome matter was solved. It took a lot of time. There are really many.
Returning to the room, Jimmy used the suitcase he just bought to pack all the things he had bought in the past two days. He soon received a call from Dave, asking him to prepare and go to the airport with Dave and the others tomorrow morning to return to New York.
Well, it looks like I saved money on the air ticket and made Dave spend money. Dave did not inform Jimmy of the flight number. In other words, Dave rented a private jet. Whether he rented it with his own money or borrowed it from others through connections, Jimmy did not need to rent it this time. The private jet flew back to New York, and of course his plan to be courteous came to naught.
In fact, Jimmy really wanted to rent a private plane to take Dave and his wife back to New York. It wouldn't cost much, but it would definitely leave a good impression on Dave and his wife. Unfortunately, it's not easy for anyone to become a leader.
Early the next morning, Jimmy prepared all his belongings in advance, went downstairs and checked out of the room, and waited directly for Dave and his wife in the lounge area of the lobby. The hotel then arranged an SUV to be taken to Glades Airport, a simple boarding process. At the end, Jimmy and Dave boarded a small 6-seater private plane and took off for New York.
Dave stopped the flight attendant and asked for a glass of wine, but was strongly rejected by Lucy. He could only exchange a glass of juice for the drink. Jimmy was the unlucky one. Originally, he could have a glass of wine on the private plane, but now there was someone on the side. I can only continue with mineral water.
Dave and Lucy whispered a few words, and glanced at Jimmy from time to time. Jimmy was sitting obediently, leaning on the back of the chair, closing his eyes and concentrating. They were the only three passengers in the plane. Dave and his wife could not listen to what they said, and even if they heard them, they pretended not to hear them.
Dave's impression of Jimmy was more based on various files and rumors in the bureau. He was responsible for the force in Manhattan, and no agent could compete with Jimmy in terms of force. Apart from Quantico's HRT, he couldn't think of anyone else with such attack capabilities. The key was that Jimmy had a reasonable reason every time. Even OPR couldn't find a reason after several investigations.
When he first saw Jimmy after being shot, he felt a sense of security that ordinary people couldn't give him.
Everyone knows how far apart Palm Beach is from New York. Jimmy was able to show up as soon as possible after his surgery. He knew very well that he must have taken a private plane over immediately after getting the news. Other than this, there is no other way. Way arrived at his side hours after the shooting.
This is a gun, a very easy-to-use, very reliable gun. The key is that this gun belongs to the Manhattan Office and can only belong to the Manhattan Office. Those nonsense things that happened before should come to an end.
After a while, Dave stood up and sat next to Jimmy, and whispered: "Jimmy, Robert from Miami called me last night about you."
Jimmy turned sideways towards Dave and listened carefully, but Dave stopped talking.
Jimmy thought for a while, tilted his head, leaned sideways closer to Dave, and whispered, "I understand. I came to Palm Bay this time to take care of you. You were shot and need medical attention." An agent who is familiar with gunfights, I was with you the whole time in Palm Beach and did not go to Miami."
Dave smiled silently, patted Jimmy on the shoulder, stood up and sat back in his seat, picked up the juice and took a sip. Jimmy is a creative talent. He had a few words with Robert on the phone yesterday.
This Miami Robert is probably the leading figure in the Miami office, at least the Assistant Special Agent in Charge, a role similar to that of Hughes, and it is not ruled out that he is someone of the same level as Dave. Dave was able to give face like this and talk to Jimmy directly about this matter on the plane, so he probably gained a lot of benefits.
Okay, anyway, the purpose of coming here this time is to gain Dave's favor. Regardless of whether there are any extra gains, these are just scraps. It's the kind of thing that is better if you don't have it.
Besides, writing a report on this case is also a big hassle. Except for Hughes, no one else in the office knew about Jimmy's visit this time, so there wouldn't be any special trouble. It would be best if he didn't write a report, but it would be troublesome if he left the file behind.
The flight ended quickly. Jimmy and Dave said goodbye and took a taxi back to their apartment.
Nia and Jimmy have basically been living together since Jimmy's successful proposal. Although Jimmy has been away from home for a while, the house doesn't have the smell of being without people for a long time. It's much better than before when he came back from a business trip and had to ventilate it for a long time.
No matter when someone comes home, they will feel very comfortable and relaxed. I believe many people will have this experience.
Jimmy took off his shoes directly at the door and walked into the house wearing socks. It was time to relax when he got home. He threw the box in the living room, changed clothes, took a shower, put on casual clothes, and threw himself on the sofa. superior.
Jimmy took the phone and called Mahone, "Mahon, how is your case over there?"
Mahone: "Oh, Jimmy, are you done?"
Jimmy: "Well, I'm back in New York."
Ma Hong: "Don't worry, I'm still investigating."
Jimmy: "OK, remember to let me know in advance when you need to go home."
Mahone: "Well, it should be over soon."
Jimmy: "Be careful. Goodbye."
Mahone's words made Jimmy think a lot. Mahone, who seemed to have no worries, was ready to release the anger in his heart.
Mahone is not a very honest agent, as the trunk of his car proves. No matter who the opponent is, Mahone will definitely get it done. As he said, it will be over soon, whether it is the opponent who ends it or he ends it.
Jimmy really wants to know how strong the unshackled Mahone is, but now is not the time to go to Chicago. Dave has come back, and Hughes' goal has been achieved.
Jimmy's suspension period has ended long ago, and if there are no accidents, it should be confirmed in just a day or two.
After thinking about it, Jimmy also called Hughes. The mission was completed perfectly. Dave was fine except for being shot once. Jimmy also hired a few people to avenge him, which was perfect.
Hughes just said he got it and hung up the phone without saying anything about the follow-up. Jimmy didn't care either. Anyway, he wasn't fired and there would always be a department that would accept him.
Jimmy got up to go out, but found that the car keys were missing. It seemed that Nia drove Jimmy's CLS to work. That's okay. Jimmy returned to the study and took out the key to the Blue Mercury. Just as he was about to go out, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't driven that car for a long time. Even if everything was normal, the tires were flat now.
Forget it, Jimmy put the car keys back and was too lazy to go out. He took the phone and ordered a takeout from the restaurant next to him, agreed on a delivery time, and lay on the sofa watching TV to kill time.
In the evening, Nia came home from get off work. When she turned on the light, she was startled to find someone on the sofa. The exhaustion of the day was immediately shaken out of her mind. When he saw Jimmy sleeping on the sofa, he happily jumped on it.
Jimmy took the dinner takeout and put it on the table, then lay on the sofa and fell asleep inexplicably. Suddenly someone jumped on him, Jimmy reflexively reached out and grabbed Nia's arm to make a move. Fortunately, he reacted and directly changed the action of throwing away the person into a hug.
That is to say, his brain reaction is faster. If he had been slower, he would have thrown Nia out directly. His fighting ability has been verified by the instructors and students of Quantico Academy. For someone like Nia who does not have enough weight, it is absolutely impossible. No surprises.
After hugging and kissing, Nia looked at Jimmy's face and asked, "How long will you stay back this time?"
Jimmy smiled and said: "Don't worry, I should be able to go back to work this time. I went to Palm Beach this time to do something for the deputy director. He can't stop my department assignments anymore. By the way, I ordered dinner. .”
Jimmy got up and came to the dining table and opened the thermos box. Jimmy often orders food at the restaurant, and his generosity is of course rewarded with more services. His takeaway dinner is not placed directly, but is wrapped in the restaurant's insulated bag and placed on the table to prevent it from getting cold when it is too late. .
Jimmy laid out the dinner, opened his suitcase, took out the gifts he had brought for Nia, and promised to wait for Nia to go on vacation and the two of them would hang out for a few more days.
——
Jimmy got up with Nia in the morning. He drove Nia to the police station, then drove back, picked her up after get off work, and then found a restaurant to have dinner, watch a movie, and spend time with Nia.
Jimmy still felt a little guilty. Although he had his own reasons, walking around without saying hello was indeed a bad thing. Accompanying his future wife and making her happy are the most important things for Jimmy these days.
Jimmy's expected return to work didn't come. It had been three days since Dave came back, and Jimmy hadn't received a single call.
This is really painful, but Jimmy can only wait. His suspension period was extended by Hughes before, so he had time to go to Chicago.
Nia drove to work by herself, while Jimmy came to the bar early and opened the bar door himself and went in.
Jimmy received a call from Dave last night and asked him to meet today. Jimmy invited him directly to his bar.
A young man drove Dave to the bar. Jimmy greeted Dave at the door. The young man didn't get out of the car at all, but sat in the car and waited outside.
Dave walked into the bar and looked around, "Is this yours?"
Jimmy: "Yes, I live nearby and come here often. The boss wanted to transfer, so I took over. Please sit down."
Dave sat in front of the bar. Jimmy walked into the bar and poured Dave a glass of soda. Jimmy smiled and said, "Sorry, your injury hasn't healed yet. You can't drink yet."
Dave waved his hand: "Oh, no, give me a glass of whiskey."
Jimmy looked at Dave in surprise, and he nodded, "Just one portion will be fine."
Jimmy took a cup and poured a cup for Dave. "That's it. Alcohol is not good for wound healing. Believe me, I have been shot several times."
Dave sighed, picked up the cup, and drank several times from the bottom of the cup. "Something happened over there in Miami. The man you caught had a dispute with someone in the detention center and was beaten to death."
Jimmy's eyes almost flew out of his head, "What's going on?"
Dave: "I just got the news last night. The interrogation there has been fruitless for the time being, so I put him in the detention center to investigate the people who were shot first. As a result, during the daytime yesterday, there was a fight and he was hit. The head was not saved."
Jimmy didn't speak. He reached for a cup from the bar, poured himself a cup and drank it. Then he poured another cup. Then he looked at Dave and asked, "How are they going to close the case?"
Dave: "What is clear is that the only charge is armed burglary. He was not the one who shot the detective. He is considered an accomplice at most."
Jimmy: "This case...will it involve us?"
Dave: "It's not clear yet. The people behind them have a lot of energy. If they can do it to this level, it shouldn't be difficult to investigate you. That's why I'm here to tell you this. Although it's a little bit possible, But Miami is the one that may become a target, so you don’t need to be too nervous, just pay a little attention.”
Jimmy nodded: "I understand, thank you, Mr. Hudson."
Dave: "Call me Dave."
Jimmy: "Thanks, Dave."
Dave drank a little bit of the wine at the bottom of the glass. His willpower was still good. He put the glass on the bar and stood up: "Okay, just pay attention to this. The environment here looks good. , but pay attention to your identity."
Jimmy came out of the bar, "I don't usually come here. There is a full-time manager in charge of this store. If you have time, you can come and sit. My bartender is very good and will definitely be able to match the flavors you like."
Dave nodded, and Jimmy sent him out of the bar. He glanced at the bar, and Jimmy was too lazy to clean it up. He would wait until Woody came to deal with it in the afternoon.
Jimmy didn't ask Dave what his next department would be. Some things could wait, but he couldn't ask.
The Miami office was really unlucky. It was originally just a shooting. There were no dead, only a few people were injured and hospitalized. It couldn't be broken, so it was no big deal. However, Jimmy intervened and caught one person.
As a result, seven detectives were shot because of this man, and the only man they captured died in the detention center. Although from various circumstances, his death was an accident. There was a conflict during the prison break, and the accident was the first. Hit the wall.
The FBI agents who are familiar with all kinds of bad things in the prison certainly don't believe that this is an accident. Someone must have sent a message to the detention center from outside, but they can only admit it. If this matter is dug up, an accident may happen. Not a suspect anymore.
Jimmy took out his cell phone and found Christopher Lee's number. He was about to call it, but after thinking about it, he put the phone back in his pocket. Dave got the news about this matter, and Jimmy calling him like this really rubs salt into Li's wounds, which is too hurtful.
It's better to wait and contact him again in at least two days to make sure that there is a result on their case.
Jimmy didn't care about the case. He was mainly worried about whether the person behind the gunman would be angry with him because he was the one who arrested him. If everyone in the Miami office was okay, then he could rest assured.
