Before Jimmy could contact him in Miami, Caitlin suddenly called him and asked him to meet the next day, and the meeting place was Langley headquarters, not the New York Counter-Terrorism Bureau.
In the evening, I told Nia that I was going to the FBI headquarters in Washington DC, which was relatively close this time. Nia was really speechless. The NYPD basically didn't go outside New York. Why did Jimmy, the FBI, feel so strange? Agents in the Manhattan office have to travel around various regions in the United States.
Early the next morning, Jimmy opened the safe, took out the CIA ID card, put on his suit and revolver, went out and went straight to John F. Kennedy Airport (JFK), and bought the nearest ticket on the spot to Washington DC.
Considering that he might need to travel between Washington DC and Langley in the future, Jimmy simply left the airport, found a taxi and went to a used car dealership, bought a car using his real identity and drove to Langley.
Langley is very close to Washington DC, only more than 30 kilometers away. It is a small town. The most convenient way to get to Langley is Washington DC, but there is also a private airport near Langley. When Caitlin brought Jimmy to Langley before, Just land directly at the private airport, which is closer.
Coming to Langley in public again, Jimmy was obviously much more relaxed. He swiped his ID card at the gate, checked the car, entered Langley, and arrived at Caitlin's office smoothly. Unlike most people who worked in the Langley Building, Jimmy didn't hang his card on his left chest. He just walked around the building in his suit, and no one stopped him to say anything.
Jimmy knocked on the door, and Caitlin in the office looked up. Jimmy smiled and waved at the door, and she waved Jimmy in.
Jimmy was not nervous at all and asked with a smile: "Caitlin, why are you so anxious to see me?"
Caitlin: "We'll go to the conference room later."
Jimmy: "Can you tell me in advance? Let me be mentally prepared."
Caitlin: "A mission. You go outside to rest for a while and wait for my notification."
Jimmy nodded: "OK."
Jimmy came to the tea room, poured himself a cup of coffee, and sat with a magazine to kill time. Half an hour later, Caitlin took Jimmy to a conference room.
This conference room is very special. Other conference rooms have normal office glass doors, but this conference room has solid walls, and the thickness is much thicker than ordinary walls. The door is also thickened. Jimmy felt it when he closed the door. , this door should have a solid mezzanine, maybe a steel plate or something.
Jimmy sat next to Caitlin wearing sunglasses. There were already people sitting across the conference table waiting for them, an old white man who looked to be in his 60s and a young brown-haired Hispanic man wearing myopia glasses.
Caitlin spoke first: "Richard, let's get started."
The old man Richard nodded, opened the box in front of him, took out a file and pushed it to Caitlin from the table: "This is an urgent task.
A special target we have been monitoring entered the Russian Embassy in disguise yesterday morning. According to inside information, they will arrange for the transfer of personnel to leave Washington, go to New York, and depart from New York.
The target had previously contacted a defense laboratory and was suspected of having obtained certain information. From monitoring information, it was learned that he had illegally logged into the laboratory's file management system using someone else's account and copied certain files.
We need you to stop him in New York, check all his belongings, make sure no information has been taken away, and kill him if necessary.
This is a joint mission authorization between the agency and the DIA (U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency). "
Caitlin nodded, opened the file, flipped it back and forth, and pushed it to Jimmy.
This is an official CIA mission, and a mission announced in a special conference room at the headquarters will definitely not be that simple.
Jimmy opened the profile. The first thing he saw was a photo of a man with an Indian face. It looked very ordinary. It was a street photo. He was dressed as a normal office worker. He was dressed in casual clothes without a suit. He was holding a brown soft bag in his hand. Quality briefcase.
Raj Patel, Indian-American, naturalized in the 1990s, computer expert. He works for a software company that is one of the partners of the Department of Defense and is responsible for some ancillary software systems.
Next is his family situation. Jimmy passed these directly, and the following records are the focus.
The first time Raj came into the CIA's sight was two years ago. Raj communicated privately with a diplomat on the CIA's surveillance list. After that, the two met many times in some hidden environments, and were registered by the surveillance personnel.
Raj's company had previously had data leaked in violation of regulations, but it was suppressed by the company's management. If there had not been clues provided by insiders, the CIA would not have relevant records.
The file records the time and place of exchanges between Raj and the diplomats, but without the content, these are enough to put him on the watch list.
There is no information about Raj in these files. Jimmy looked up at Caitlin. Caitlin nodded. Jimmy turned to look at Richard, "Please continue."
Richard: "The target had no special behavior before. Part of the defense laboratory's system is handled by their company, so it often enters the laboratory.
This time it was discovered by the laboratory IT staff when they were checking the data. After the anomaly occurred, the intelligence was submitted to DIA (U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency). After the joint department verified the information, the leak case was handed over to us to handle.
The target entered the embassy directly after leaving the laboratory. Our people determined the target's location inside the embassy, but it was too sensitive there and we were unable to perform the task. We had no choice but to intercept him after he left the embassy.
After the target entered the embassy, we checked his situation. His family traveled to India a week ago and are currently not in the country. The situation in India is complicated and we are temporarily unable to locate their location and situation. "
Jimmy: "What was the missing information?"
Richard pointed to the young man next to him: "This is Miguel Hernandez, from the DIA Network Department."
Miguel: "The lost information cannot provide specific content. It is part of the information of a certain weapon system. After you get the information, I will check the information. You do not have permission to read the relevant information."
Jimmy nodded, and Richard continued: "Hernandez will serve as the liaison officer between the DIA and us. Caitlin, you can make arrangements for him in the Counter-Terrorism Bureau.
At present, we have not yet determined how and when the target will leave the country. Insiders are currently working hard to obtain relevant intelligence, so please be prepared in advance. "
Caitlin nodded. Although this was a CIA mission, it was initiated by the DIA. Naturally, there would be a DIA liaison. This is understandable.
The reason why the DIA did not take direct action is probably because the embassy was involved. It is completely understandable that the US intelligence agency planted spies in various embassies, and the one who did the best was definitely the CIA.
Jimmy: "Will the target send the information through the Internet in advance?"
Miguel: "The data requires a specific decoder to be read. It should not have been spread out yet. I believe they will not allow the target to send the data directly online. The risk is too great."
Jimmy: "Has he received agent training? There is no record in the file."
Richard: "We can't be sure. We haven't been monitoring for a long time and there is still relatively little information."
Jimmy nodded, closed the document and pushed it to Caitlin. Caitlin said, "Is there anything else I need to pay attention to?"
Richard: "That's all we have at the moment. We will update you with information at any time."
Caitlin: "Understood, we will return to New York as soon as possible."
Caitlin signed a registration form, then stood up and left with the file, followed by Jimmy.
Caitlin said to Jimmy as she walked: "Jimmy, be prepared when you go back. You will be dispatched at any time."
Jimmy was stunned for a moment: "Am I the only one doing this mission?"
Caitlin: "No, this is a mission from our Counter-Terrorism Bureau. I will arrange for others to participate in the mission, including the intelligence team, surveillance team, and field service. Your identity is very important. You will be notified to the scene during the operation. As Backup."
Jimmy nodded: "I understand."
Caitlin: "Go to the Counter-Terrorism Bureau tomorrow to pick up the equipment for this mission."
Jimmy: "Copy that. Remember to prepare an extra revolver without a serial number and a Glock 19 with a silencer for me."
Caitlin: "Any other requests?"
Jimmy: "No more for now, just make other normal preparations."
Caitlin: "Then you can go back first."
Jimmy nodded and separated at the door of Caitlin's office. Caitlin went back to the office. Jimmy went to the elevator, went downstairs and left Langley.
Jimmy drove back to the Washington Airport, parked the car in a parking lot near the airport, and paid directly to rent a parking space for a long period of time. There is indeed a parking lot at the Washington Airport where you can park for a long time, but Jimmy is not sure when he will come back, so it is more convenient to stay outside.
By the time Jimmy got home, Nia hadn't even gotten off work yet. Hey, if I had known it was so simple, I might as well not have said it.
The next morning, Jimmy came to the Counter-Terrorism Bureau. Caitlin arranged for one of her assistants to take Jimmy to a room to collect equipment. After confirming Jimmy's identity, a technician inside took out a The black suitcase was pushed to Jimmy.
After opening the box, the technician began to introduce the contents of the box. He first took out a walkie-talkie and matching hidden earplugs. The earplugs were stuck on a base. "The frequencies have been adjusted. One is the main frequency, and two and three are two preset backup frequencies. Of course, you can also adjust the frequencies yourself. The earbuds have a battery life of 6 hours, and you can use this base to charge them when they run out of power.”
After Jimmy took it and looked at it, the technician picked up a candy bar mobile phone without any brand logo. There was a camera on the back and the screen on the front was not big. It looked like it was only 2 inches in size. "This is a mobile phone customized by the bureau. There is no mobile phone card, the number is preset and cannot be changed, and of course it cannot be tracked.”
Putting it on the table, the technician took out another box, "This is a sealed box that blocks all electronic signals. After you get the information, put it in to block possible tracking signals."
Then he turned the box over and said, "These two guns are what you requested. They have no serial numbers, no registration, and have not been used."
Next to it is the revolver Jimmy wants, which is the Colt Python that Jimmy is currently using. It is just the standard version, a Glock 19. Next to it are two spare magazines, a round tube silencer, and two matching boxes of .357 horses. Glam bullets and 9mm bullets are stuck on the side.
Jimmy frowned and looked at the technician: "Is that all?"
The technician nodded: "Yes."
Jimmy: "Do I need to return it?"
The technician shrugged: "If there are still good ones, you can take them back for recycling. Please confirm here."
He picked up the fingerprint reader next to him and put it in front of Jimmy. Jimmy put these things back into the box, pressed his fingerprints on the fingerprint reader, confirmed his identity, and then left with the box.
Jimmy didn't say hello to Caitlin. He left the Counter-Terrorism Bureau directly with the box and went home. He put the box at home and then sat on the sofa to think about this mission.
In fact, this is only Jimmy's second CIA mission. For the last mission, Caitlin told Caitlin in person, then went to Portland, found a contact, and took weapons from the safe house. The mission was completed with just a phone call. It's over.
And this mission had a very strange feeling from the moment he arrived in Langley. This mission felt very formal. There was a case report at Langley headquarters, and it was in a special confidential conference room. There were supervisors on site, and there were The liaison officer of the cooperation department was also given a full set of weapons and equipment when he came to New York, and he got them from the Counter-Terrorism Bureau, not a safe house.
Oh, and also, they did not provide communication equipment and real-time intelligence support for the last mission, but this time it seems that not only is there technical support, but Caitlin also said that the Counter-Terrorism Bureau will have field agents to perform the mission. His main task is Use FBI status as backup.
Are all CIA missions like this? Not to mention that in the movies, there are command organizations similar to command centers that report the situation in real time. Even if the FBI handles cases, the first few major cases were supported by intelligence from the bureau and the Counter-Terrorism Bureau command center.
So what happened to the last mission you did for Caitlin? Private business?
Jimmy thought about it and decided to find a way to check his files in the CIA if he had the chance. If it was a formal mission, there must be records in his files.
The next step is to wait patiently for Caitlin's notification. Because the information is incomplete, the specific movement and time of the target have not yet been determined.
In the evening, Jimmy and Nia were sitting on the sofa watching a movie when Hughes called and announced that he would officially go to work on Monday and his vacation time was over. As for which department he was transferred to, Hughes did not specify, only that he would know it when he arrived.
Early on Monday morning, Jimmy put on a suit and went to the FBI's Manhattan office, arriving at the homicide office in advance.
Although he hasn't been here for a while, his place is still there, and Jimmy is too lazy to take care of it. He will definitely have to move today.
Jimmy took the tea set to clean it, then boiled the cups and teapot, made another pot of tea and waited. Finally, Hughes and Tim from the administration department came together. Tim handed Jimmy a box containing his FBI badge and gun.
Tim: "Congratulations, Jimmy."
Jimmy: "Thank you. So, which department am I going to?" As he spoke, he stuck the badge on his belt and the holster too. I finally got it back, and I'm more used to being fully armed.
Tim smiled and said: "The Office of Public Affairs is responsible for providing information and consultation to the public, the news media and other key stakeholders. Congratulations, you can relax for a while."
Jimmy blinked a few times and was a little confused. A field agent like himself was transferred out of the field. What was there to congratulate?
