Jimmy got a room in the hotel where Tom was staying, and the suitcase was taken to his room. Looking at this leather box, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief. He had been using this identity for several years, and until today, he had truly inherited everything about this identity.
Early the next morning, Jimmy drove directly to Langley, parked the car in the parking lot, and called Watson. "Watson, I'm already at Langley."
Watson: "Wait for me in the lounge for a while. I have something to do and I'm not in the Langley Building."
Jimmy: "OK, call me when you get back."
Jimmy swiped his card and went upstairs, found a room and waited. This time he wanted to escape from the CIA, so he didn't move around in the Langley Building. He just stayed and waited. It would be more troublesome if he met someone he knew, especially Caitlin and the others.
More than half an hour later, Watson called Jimmy, went directly to the lounge to find Jimmy, and took him to the office.
It seems that all executive-level offices here are the same. Watson's office also has a desk, a bookshelf behind it, a filing cabinet next to it, and an American flag on one side of the bookshelf.
While Watson took off his windbreaker and hung it on the hanger, he said to Jimmy: "I didn't expect that I would help you handle the retirement procedures as soon as I found out you were one of our own. Jimmy, why?"
Jimmy sat on the chair opposite his desk and said while looking around the office: "I have a fiancée. I don't want to hide it from her, and I don't want her to know that I am a two-faced person."
Watson nodded, sat down in his seat, and turned on the computer, "Deputy Director Nolan has agreed. I will help you go through the procedures, but it can't be completed today. You have to be mentally prepared. It is estimated that all of them will be gone." It will take at least two weeks to complete the process.”
Jimmy frowned: "Does it take so long? I'm not involved in the bureau's mission, so the file should be very clean."
Watson: "Of course, I will let them deal with it as soon as possible, but some procedural matters are destined not to be that fast."
Watson pulled up Jimmy's information on the computer. He turned to look at Jimmy, "Did you train in Egypt Valley, Utah?"
Jimmy nodded: "Yes, I have been to several other training camps, but mainly in the Egyptian Valley."
Watson: "Your name is not on the list of the training camp in Egypt Valley. All your training materials have been cleared. It should be done by Rick and the others. Damn! These people are really rough at work."
Jimmy: "Does it have an impact?"
Watson: "A little bit. I'll check again."
Watson clicked around on the computer and entered some information. Then he patted the table and looked at Jimmy: "Wait for me here for a while."
Watson stood up and left the office. Jimmy turned to watch him walk to the elevator and go upstairs. He said a few words to a person in an office. He picked up the phone on the desk and pressed the number to make a call. He then spoke to the person in the office. After a few words, he returned to his office.
Jimmy didn't move and kept sitting on the chair. He didn't go to the computer to read his information. He had better be honest in Watson's office.
Watson returned to the office and did not sit down. Instead, he came to Jimmy and said, "Something happened. Someone cleaned your information before. Here is only your basic file information, the relevant training camp information in the file, and the related information." All personnel information has been cleared."
Jimmy: "What do you mean?"
Watson: "The files at the training camp have been checked, and all your information has been lost, including the training staff."
Jimmy: "You mean Kodesky?"
Watson nodded: "Not only him, but also other instructors' information is gone. In fact, all the paper information related to your two training sessions are lost."
Jimmy gritted his teeth. Rick's work was too rough. He just took away the information and destroyed it. This left too many traces.
Jimmy: "Will it affect me?"
Watson took a deep breath, walked to the window next to him and looked outside. After waiting for a while, he turned to look at Jimmy, "Jimmy, follow me."
Jimmy got up and followed Watson out of the office and towards the elevator. They came to the office that Watson had entered just now. The door was marked Thomas Nolan. Not surprisingly, Jimmy's matter this time was to trouble him, and it was normal for Watson to come to him just now.
Watson asked Jimmy to wait outside the door. He knocked on the door, opened the door and entered the office, "Deputy Director Nolan, I brought Jimmy here."
Thomas Nolan looked at him: "Watson, what's wrong?"
Watson: "All the relevant information is gone. It would be very troublesome to go through the normal retirement process because the information is incomplete."
Thomas held a pen in his hand and tapped it on the table, "What suggestions do you have?"
Watson: "There are only two copies of his information left, a paper copy in the archives and a basic agent record in our database. I wonder if we should destroy it directly?"
Thomas: "This will implicate a lot of people."
Watson: "This is the simplest way. You have permission to extract the files, and you can also arrange to clean the file data. Of course, the simplest way is to ask someone to delete the data directly."
Thomas tapped the tip of his pen on the table, making a constant thumping sound. After more than ten seconds, he stopped tapping the pen on the table, "Is it worth it?"
Watson: "I guess it was worth it, for Mrs. Waltz."
Thomas nodded: "You handle it, I will sign it."
Watson: "Jimmy is outside the door. Do you want to see him?"
Thomas shook his head: "It's better not to see her. Veronica Durand, his mother, you should have an impression, right?"
Watson: "It's not a project, but I have the impression that there are not many female managers."
Thomas: "Well, this is one of us, one of our own, and he is also our child. Let's do it."
Watson nodded, "I understand, I will arrange it."
Watson turned and left Thomas' office. He waved to Jimmy outside. Jimmy pointed to the office. Watson shook his head. The two did not speak anymore. They left Thomas' office and returned to Watson's office.
Watson let Jimmy in, closed the door himself, and drew the blinds to block the view of the office.
Watson: "Jimmy, you can go back first. I will arrange and take care of your affairs. I will call you later."
Jimmy: "What do you need me to do?"
Watson: "No, don't do anything, don't contact anyone here, go back to New York immediately, you don't know anything."
Jimmy took a deep breath and looked at Watson, who nodded to him: "Don't worry, we will take care of everything. Go back."
Jimmy nodded: "Then it's all up to you. Goodbye, Watson."
Jimmy shook hands with Watson and said goodbye, drove away from Langley, and headed back to Washington, DC. He really didn't expect that just wanting to quit the CIA would be so difficult, involving so many people, only to be tricked by that bastard Rick.
Watson and Deputy Chief Thomas Nolan talked twice, and there must have been communication between them last night, so there should be no problem. They are all big shots. If they really can't do it, they will definitely say it to their faces. Now that Watson asked Jimmy to go back to New York to wait for news, they must have their own means to avoid the problem of missing files.
Back at the hotel in Washington DC, Jimmy greeted Tom and said that when James came to New York, Tom would also come to New York to meet him. Jimmy left the room directly, took the suitcase given by Tom and headed to the airport to return to New York.
This weekend, Jimmy was a little uneasy. Although he knew that Watson and the others could handle it, before there was no result, he was still a little worried, so much so that Nia noticed it.
Jimmy said that James would be coming to New York in the next few days. He hadn't seen him for a while and he missed him a lot. Nia really didn't think too much about it. She had been busy for a week and just happened to go home to spend time with him on the weekend. Spend time with your family, and synchronize the news with them so that they won't be in a hurry after James comes over.
When he went to work on Monday, Jimmy finally got the press release for the press conference. It was a very simple draft, with only basic information, so there was no big problem. Isabel also made a special trip to give Jimmy a simple explanation of the press conference process to avoid problems later.
On Tuesday, Jimmy put on a dark blue suit and checked his equipment before following Isabel into the press conference room.
This is a press conference office transformed from a conference room. There is a speaking platform on the left side of the front, and a projection position in the middle. Isabel came to the back of the speaking platform as the spokesperson this time, and Jimmy stood behind her on the right side wearing sunglasses. Close to the corner.
Isabel: “Gentlemen and ladies, welcome to this regular press conference, I am Isabel Martinez who is hosting this press conference.
This press conference was mainly in response to a shooting case involving multiple federal departments that had previously attracted media attention.
A week ago, a joint investigation by multiple federal law enforcement agencies led to an espionage case based on clues. After the target stole some national defense-related information, he tried to escape. The following agents had no choice but to intercept the target's vehicle in Queens and fought with the target's bodyguards.
Due to the large number of targets and their bodyguards and their lethal force, under the coordination of relevant agencies, we arranged for agents to go to support and successfully intercepted all target persons. The suspect's counterattack resulted in several federal agency agents being shot and injured. According to current information, all the agents who were shot have received medical treatment and are currently in the recovery stage.
Since the case is still in the investigation and processing stage, relevant details will not be announced at this press conference for the time being. is there a problem? "
Isabel clicked on a reporter: "Which federal agencies were involved in the shooting?"
Isabel: "Information on relevant institutions and personnel during the investigation phase of the case will not be released for the time being."
…
Several more reporters asked about the situation and video information seen by the witnesses at the scene. Isabel was obviously very experienced. Except for the information clearly visible in the video, the rest was dismissed on the grounds that it involved national security and needed to be kept confidential. .
"I have a question for the gentleman next to me." A male reporter did not ask Isabel, but looked directly at Jimmy, "Excuse me, sir, what is your name? Are you the FBI agent in the video?" "
Isabel turned to look at Jimmy, nodded slightly, and Jimmy took a step forward: "FBI Senior Agent Jimmy Young."
Reporter: "OK, same question as before. Is that FBI agent in the video you?"
Jimmy: "Sorry, I can't answer this question right now."
Reporter: "OK, as far as I know, there are very few Asians among the FBI's senior agents. Before, we have played some action videos of Asian agents. One of the surveillance videos showed an Asian agent. We defeated them with one against six. Is that you the agent in those videos?"
Jimmy: "Sorry, this is not related to this press conference. If you have other questions, please contact the Public Affairs Office. I cannot answer questions unrelated to the press conference."
…
Jimmy didn't answer any explicit questions other than saying his name, and didn't even take off his sunglasses. The reporters at the scene and the photographers who followed them also took photos of Jimmy while he was answering questions. It is estimated that this time it will be announced.
In her follow-up answer, Isabel also projected the document full of black bars through the projector, and the reporters below were a little nervous on the spot.
Seeing that everyone had no questions, Isabel announced the end of the press conference, took Jimmy out of the press conference, and returned to their respective offices. As for the reporters at the scene, others naturally arranged for them to leave.
Jimmy also successfully completed his first press conference. Although he was a supporting role and did not give any important answers, just his personal image and name were enough for the reporters to make up stories.
Jimmy turned on the TV in the lobby of his office and switched to the news station, which he could watch from his own office.
Everything was normal during the day, but when he returned home at night, his image was indeed linked by the TV station and previous videos. Although the video definition was very poor, Jimmy's image was indeed recognizable enough that he wore sunglasses today. Putting the avatar and the video together, it is easy to tell that the suit agent in the video is him.
Jimmy sighed, and sure enough, when his boots landed, he would probably have to face the public in the future. Mrs. Mason was right, this step must always be taken.
Nia had to work overtime at the police station today, and she hadn't come back yet. The phone rang, and Nia's voice came out, "Jimmy, turn on the TV and watch CNN."
Jimmy picked up the remote control and asked, "What's wrong?" while changing channels.
When he saw the TV picture, Jimmy knew something was wrong: "Oh! Fxxk!"
Nia laughed loudly on the phone, "See for yourself." After saying that, she hung up the phone.
The scene that appeared on the TV turned out to be the scene of him running down in his boxers to chase the gunman when he was sniped at the hotel last time. Although it was night, under the lights and camera fill-in light, Jimmy's half-naked image was still very clearly displayed on the TV. With the photos of him at today's press conference, it was clear that it was him.
“We don’t know yet what cases he was handling at the time, but I have to say that he was in really good shape.
This is a very rare scene. The FBI agents we usually see are wearing suits or plain clothes. Their serious and professional image is deeply rooted in people's hearts, but this kind of naked encounter is rare.
Look at him, look at his image. Holding an FBI badge in his left hand and a revolver in his right hand, he ran out to chase the suspect with no clothes on. Can you see another tough guy like this? "
The society is dead! This time it’s absolutely social! Only Hughes and others knew about the attack on him at the time. Others did not know about Jimmy's involvement. Except for the NYPD who was present at the time, there should be no other detectives who witnessed Jimmy's embarrassing moment.
It's over now. Once it's released on TV, even if you haven't watched the news today, it will definitely be spread when you get to the office tomorrow morning. Hey, why don't you take a few days off to rest at home, at least until this storm is over before you go back to work? (End of chapter)
