Although Tom has a new fixed identity, it can be seen that he is still not used to being with others, especially when they are in the bar. When they are in the hall, Tom often shakes his head slightly to observe the people around him. I guess it has become a habit.
Jimmy really can't figure out how to solve the CIA's identity. He has no upper-level connections, and the reputation of the CIA is too bad. It's impossible for the FBI or Hughes to give him much time to solve this matter. There is really no other way. Ask Tom for help.
Now he can confirm that except for Hughes and Lambert in Dallas, others should not know Jimmy's identity, at least the deputy director Dave does not know, so this matter must be resolved as soon as possible to completely reassure Hughes. Even if he could keep it secret, he couldn't keep it secret forever.
Hughes still has a big problem. He was about to retire, and he has been waiting for Peter to take over. He has been carrying it for three years now. He can't carry it for much longer. The FBI is not run by his family, right? His tolerance cannot be unlimited. Before he retires, he will definitely synchronize this matter with the next Assistant Special Agent in Charge, if Jimmy can't solve it within this time.
Jimmy returned to the apartment, checked the time, picked up the phone and called Mahone: "Hi, Mahone, how are you doing there?"
Ma Hong: "Not bad. Several people have been arrested and killed, only three are missing. And, don't worry, it's going very well here."
Jimmy: "How is your injury now? Do you still need to take medicine?"
Ma Hong: "Thank you, no more."
Jimmy: "That's good. By the way, I'll go to Chicago to pick up my luggage later."
Mahone: "Notify me in advance when you come, I may not be in Chicago. Or I will contact you after a while, but for now, I have something else to do."
Jimmy: "OK."
After hanging up the phone, Jimmy thought for a while and decided not to disturb Mahone for the time being. Mahone's wife and son are in New York now, but Jimmy is not familiar with them, and since he also has their phone numbers, Mahone should be able to comfort him in time, and there shouldn't be any big problems.
As for the luggage he left with Mahone in Chicago, let's go there if you have time on the weekend. There is nothing particularly important in that luggage, except for the gold coins that Charon gave him. I used one when I helped Mahone pack the body in the trunk, and the others were in the box because it was inconvenient for him to take it with him when he went to Palm Beach, and it would be easy for him to have problems if someone found him.
Now Jimmy is finally out of debt. He got 20 gold coins as a reward for the Boston mission from Winston, and has paid off the debt of Justin in Little Rock. Now the gold coins in his hand are his own. Of course, most of them are Charon. Sent. After that, I'll settle the bill with Charon for the expenses of Mahone's wife and children here, and it's almost over.

Tom came to New York in advance for the face-to-face interview that Jimmy mentioned on the last phone call. He knew Jimmy's character well, and he would not call him if it was not necessary.
This is not to say that Jimmy is too utilitarian, but a habit left over from previous years.
From the beginning when Tom came to apply for Jimmy's identity, until he completed his revenge and went to Florida to work on a farm and retire, he basically contacted each other when necessary. After this habit was formed, they usually did not contact each other, although it was not like Just like normal friends, but that doesn't mean they don't have a deep relationship.
Tom has no immediate family members. When he was seeking revenge, some people's counterattack completely failed Tom's previous preparations for his family. This was also his greatest pain during the three-year investigation and revenge process.
When Jimmy met Tom before, he was in very bad spirits. He thought that Tom had no goal to fight after the revenge was over, so he was very tired. In fact, at that time, Tom had become a real loner. With the end of the revenge process, his spirit became worse. It has basically collapsed.
As time goes by, Tom is now really paying close attention to James, his younger brother, and Jimmy, who has a very lovable personality even though he has only known him for a few years. If they don't exist anymore, he will only know that he is still there. A few colleagues and teachers are still alive.
After sleeping in the hotel for one night, Tom checked out early in the morning and flew to Washington, DC. He wanted to communicate with his teacher first.
At Mrs. Waltz's cabin in the woods, Tom drove to the door, carried a bag and knocked on the door.
"Come in." Mrs. Waltz called out from inside, but did not come to open the door.
Tom opened the door directly and went in. Mrs. Waltz was watching TV in the living room.
While talking, Tom came to Mrs. Waltz and handed the bag in his hand to the teacher: "Teacher, I'm here to see you. This is your favorite coconut chocolate before."
Mrs. Waltz took the bag in surprise, took out two boxes of chocolates and placed them on the coffee table next to her. She opened one box and put a piece into her mouth. "Well, it still smells the same. Is it Peterson's?"
Tom sat on the sofa next to him and nodded: "Yes, but the store has been taken over by his son. Peterson passed away a few years ago."
Mrs. Waltz: "It's a pity. He was the best pastry chef in our cafeteria back then. I haven't had it for a long time since he left. Florida is a bit too far, and it's really not convenient for me to travel that far."
Tom: "Why don't you let Sam and the others buy it for you? By the way, where's Sam?"
Mrs. Waltz shook her head: "He went to purchase daily necessities and will be back at noon. What do you want to do here this time?"
Tom: "I came to see the teacher. I have settled in Florida now."
Mrs. Waltz nodded: "Well, just settle down. You have been busy for decades, so it's time for you to take a good rest."
Tom: "Teacher, have you been in contact with anyone else recently?"
Mrs. Waltz shook her head, "There is no need to contact them. There are not many people left, and they are scattered all over the place. It is too troublesome."
Tom: "How are you doing now? Do you want to stay with me for a while and relax? I built a small farm and the climate is good there."
Mrs. Waltz: "No, I'm old and don't want to move anymore. I've already made a will. When I die, I will be with a few old friends."
Tom's voice was lowered, "Please don't say that, you are in good health."
Mrs. Waltz smiled and shook her head: "Tell me, what brings you here?"
Tom: "Jimmy, Jimmy Young, son of Veronica Durand."
Mrs. Waltz: "What happened to him?"
Tom: "He is now a senior FBI agent. He wants to retire from the CIA and live in the sun."
Mrs. Waltz was silent for a moment, "Is this what he meant?"
Tom nodded: "Yes."
Mrs. Waltz: "Why?"
Tom was silent. Mrs. Waltz was not asking Jimmy why he thought so, but why he agreed and came to her.
Tom said in a low voice: "I have no relatives anymore."
Mrs. Waltz sighed: "Hey... in our line of work, this is inevitable. I understand, Tommy. Let's talk about the current situation."
Tom: "I told you before that he was activated by Caitlin in New York. Later, he and Caitlin reached a private agreement. He continued to be dormant in exchange for being able to do something for Caitlin.
A few days ago, he was assigned by Caitlin to participate in an official mission without notice, which made him very distressed. He was only under 30 years old, and he would not be able to continue to stay with the FBI after being dropped from the file.
Moreover, Jimmy has a girlfriend, his proposal was successful, and he is preparing for the engagement ceremony. He does not want to continue to be a two-faced person. "
Mrs. Waltz shook her head with emotion: "Today's young people."
Tom looked at Mrs. Waltz, and Mrs. Waltz thought for a moment, "I'll handle it."
Tom: "Teacher, does Veronica have any relatives?"
Mrs. Waltz shook her head: "No, Veronica Durand's father Harry Anderson, he didn't leave any relatives behind."
Tom: "Thank you, teacher."
Mrs. Waltz: "What about you?"
Tom: "I'm already this age, it's okay. It'll be good to be a farmer on the farm from now on."
They chatted for a while, and Sam came back from purchasing supplies. Tom had lunch here and left the cabin in the forest. Tom did not return to New York, but returned to Washington DC to wait for news. He knew that Mrs. Waltz would not keep him waiting for too long.
The next day, Tom received a call from Mrs. Waltz, "Tommy, bring Jimmy over on Friday night."
Tom: "Thank you."
Tom looked at the time and dialed Jimmy's phone: "Come to Washington DC to see me on Friday afternoon."
Jimmy: "OK."
Jimmy hung up the phone and looked at Isabel in front of him, her face a little ugly, "Are you sure you want to announce it?"
Isabel nodded, "There were too many videos taken of your actions in Queens. Even the major TV stations didn't broadcast them, but they were spread everywhere on the Internet. Now, neither DHS nor the Counter-Terrorism Agency has come out to refute the rumors. , and the NYPD has already stated that an FBI was involved in the mission at that time."
Jimmy: "Give me some time and I'll contact them."
Isabel: "Well, if it is determined to be announced by us, then they need to at least arrange for personnel to be present."
Jimmy: "Got it."
Isabel left Jimmy's office. Jimmy slapped the documents on the table. Caitlin and the others were terrible at their work.
Jimmy walked to the door and closed the office door, took out his cell phone and dialed Caitlin's number, "Caitlin, we need to talk."
Caitlin: "My office."
Jimmy hung up the phone, opened the office door and left.
Counter-Terrorism Bureau, Jimmy came to Caitlin's office, "So, what's going on with that case now?"
Caitlin: "DIA took over the subsequent investigation, and our matter is over."
Jimmy: "Have you read the news on the Internet?"
Caitlin: "A gunfight? Yeah."
Jimmy: "Now the pressure is on the FBI. The NYPD has leaked the case that the FBI was handling at the time. Now all the media are looking at the FBI and asking for the release of information."
Caitlin: "I understand, you're in the public affairs office, right?"
Jimmy: "So this matter is my business now. I need your cooperation to announce some things to the outside world and bring this matter to a close."
Caitlin: "No, not now. The final report on the case has not yet been released. If it is released now, it will affect the investigation of the case."
Jimmy: "No, no, you don't keep it to the public. We at the FBI have a special external department. We receive applications from various media every day. Now everyone hopes to at least release a little information and reduce a little pressure."
Caitlin: "This is your business. Is it just this?"
Jimmy: "No, this is just business. Now it's the private part. Can I see the file this time?"
Caitlin smiled slightly with a straight face, then immediately turned straight again. She opened the drawer, took out a piece of paper and handed it to Jimmy.
Jimmy took the file. The top part was the case information, the bottom part was the arrest record, and the last part was the subsequent transfer of the case. He was focused on the first two parts.
The case was reported by the DIA and jointly handled by the three departments. A total of four people attended the meeting, including a DIA technical director, an FBI senior agent, and two CIA senior executives. Their names were all covered with black bars.
When the spy vehicle was intercepted, a group of counter-terrorism agents with black stripes covering their names participated in the operation. Senior FBI agent black stripes rushed to the scene behind, injuring three bodyguards, and successfully captured the target.
Jimmy read the file and looked at Caitlin: "Is this all?"
Caitlin: "Are you relieved now?"
Jimmy: "Is that all there is? No additional supplementary files?"
Caitlin nodded: "This is the mission file. Each participating agent file will record a case number, which is linked to this file. I have already processed it, and you are not in the agent list."
Jimmy nodded: "Thank you." He returned the copy of the file to Caitlin, "So how far can we disclose this case?"
Caitlin: "Don't mention specific people in specific departments or the details of the case."
Jimmy: "OK, I'll go back first."
Jimmy turned and left Caitlin's office. The file he just saw was a copy. No one knew how the original was written. Jimmy has no chance to see the original document of the case now, but he has just written down the file number on it, and all that is left is to think about how to get in and see the original document.
Jimmy returned to the FBI office. He first went to Mrs. Eleanor Mason's office, "Mrs. Mason, are the last case report documents still here?"
Eleanor nodded: "What's wrong?"
Jimmy: "Isabel came to me before. Many media were asking about the gun battle. I have already contacted the Counter-Terrorism Bureau. This matter can only be handled by ourselves. Their investigation of the case has not been completed yet."
Eleanor turned around and searched in the filing cabinet beside her, took out the folder and handed it to Jimmy, "You can handle it yourself."
(I have seen everything you said in the comments. Let’s discuss rationally and avoid any special disputes.
My current plot is set in advance. If you can, please read it with peace of mind. The plot I set may have some minor flaws, but the logic that will not cause a collapse does not conform to the content.
In addition, there are relevant details previously to guide the current content. If you can think of those details, maybe you can understand why it is arranged this way.
If the relevant personnel have appeared several times, they will always be used, so be patient and don't be impatient, there will be no problem. )
