A new supervisor is in place, and the field department finally has a leader. But Jimmy hasn't seen it yet. Mrs. Mason asked Isabel to inform Jimmy.
Although I don’t know if Mrs. Mason has communicated with Deputy Director Dave about Jimmy, Isabel’s words to Jimmy are still a bit of a warning to work honestly.
Jimmy has not participated in other things. Now he is completely idle. He is still the same as before. He is basically not involved in the affairs of the Public Affairs Office.
The people from Bowery King also provided the video, and they sent it directly to Jimmy's bar and handed it to Woody, who then passed it on to Jimmy.
It was still a bit too much for them to do things, but it was okay. At least they didn't go directly to his home or the bureau. The bar was a transit point, and Jimmy could accept it. If it is really delivered to your home, it will have a different meaning.
I turned on the computer and took a look. The two USB flash drives contained Jimmy's previous public battle videos. They were basically Jimmy's one-to-many battle scenes, including the fight outside the warehouse when he was dealing with the bombing case and the fight to save Rui. Here are the surveillance videos of the person who killed MS13, as well as the videos of several of his fights on the streets.
There are some that Jimmy himself has never seen. The media has played Jimmy's battle videos several times before, but they are not as complete as those in these two USB flash drives. King Bowery and others have really strong intelligence gathering capabilities.
In the evening, after Jimmy and Nia came back from having dinner outside, Jimmy went back to the study to check the videos, especially the videos of the two street ambushes. He didn't feel anything at the time, but now it seems that there is still a lot of room for improvement.
Nia brought black tea to Jimmy. Under Jimmy's influence, Nia also started making tea at home, but most of it was just fake tea.
Nia: "What are you watching? Oh, I've seen this video."
Jimmy: "Well, I got the videos from others, and there are a few that I haven't seen before."
Nia immediately came over and sat directly on Jimmy's lap: "Let me see it too."
Jimmy reopened the video. Not only did he play it, but he also told Nia about the situation at that time, his strategies and ideas for facing the enemy, and whether there was anything that could be improved. The video was not that long in the first place, but it was made directly. Combat restoration and dismantling takes longer.
Nia really knew that Jimmy was very strong. She accepted Jimmy because his fighting ability far exceeded that of his peers. Now looking back at these previous battle videos, Jimmy himself explained them, and she was very interested.
So, a night of pain and joy was spent in hard work.
——
Finally, Nia waited for her day off and asked Jimmy to go home with her for dinner in the evening. After working for a long time, she could finally have a good rest.
After dinner, the family was sitting in the living room chatting. Jimmy was still thinking about his own affairs, but Kevin suddenly asked: "Jimmy, you have been in the logistics department for a long time, and there is no news about your transfer yet? "
Jimmy: "Huh? There's no news. It's not convenient to adjust the position recently."
Kevin frowned: "Inconvenient?"
Jimmy nodded: "Hughes, our previous field director, was forced to retire, and now a new director has been transferred from Atlanta."
Kevin stood up and said, "Let's go to the study to chat."
Jimmy also followed Kevin to the study. Jimmy took whiskey and glasses from the shelf and went to the sofa area. Kevin took out a cigar box from the small cabinet next to him and gave Jimmy one. This study is the only place in the house where he can smoke unscrupulously. The cigar area has an independent exhaust system.
Kevin: "Tell me, what's going on?"
Jimmy: "There are some things that are inconvenient to be disclosed to the public. Just know it. Our people were investigating a murder case involving a relative of a consultant, and then accidentally got some clues, which pointed to a big shot, a super big shot. While investigating the big shot , arrested a funder who was closely related to him, and then was directly pressured by the big shots from the Ministry of Justice, and the headquarters arranged for Hughes to retire compulsorily.
The successor to the field director did not go through the normal appointment process, and a person was transferred directly from Atlanta. There seems to be some things to be dealt with in the bureau. The original plan was to arrange for me to return to the field recently. A few days ago, Dave The deputy director personally told me that it was not convenient for me to be transferred at the moment and asked me to wait. "
Kevin smoked a cigar and was thinking about Jimmy's words. Although he was also a big shot in the NYPD, he definitely didn't know anything about matters in a federal agency like the FBI. If it weren't for Jimmy, he wouldn't have asked at all.
Kevin: "So do you want to continue to stay in the public relations department now?"
Jimmy nodded, "If there are no accidents, we must continue. There is a new supervisor, and I will probably have to go through a lot of procedures if I want to go back. She is not Hughes after all. The key is that I am not sure yet what the new supervisor is. This person, whose person, what is certain is that he is definitely not someone arranged by the upper management of our office.”
Kevin: "What do you think? What are you going to do recently?"
Jimmy: "I have some ideas, but they may not be easy to implement. I plan to take advantage of my free time now to further my education. You know, I graduated from a community college before. Whether it is for future promotion or to do something else, after all, Need to take another step up.”
Kevin: "That's a good idea, do you have a goal?"
Jimmy: "Well, I want to see if there are any schools that offer on-the-job learning, and then see how to do it."
Kevin thought for a moment, "Is there anything else?"
Jimmy: "One more thing. Hughes reminded me two days ago that if I have the opportunity, I should set up an association or fund to gild myself. He said it would be good for my future. I don't know how to do these things yet. Maybe Also take some time to look at how to create an association or foundation.”
Kevin: "No, you are wrong. Hughes does not ask you to build an organization from scratch, but requires you to occupy a position in a reputable association or fund. You will be promoted to management later. Or when you move up, these good reputations are the capital for your advancement."
Jimmy: "This is not easy. No matter which organization is full, it is definitely full. It is not easy to get a position where you can take action, right?"
Kevin picked up the glass and took a sip of whiskey, "I'm going to check the schedule first."
Kevin walked to the desk, took his bag and took out a small diary and started to read it. While reading, he walked around the table. After a while, he closed the diary and sat back on the sofa. , "There will be a club event in a few days. I will confirm it and let you know. If possible, you can join me."
Jimmy nodded: "Is it a formal event?"
Kevin nodded: "Wear more formal clothes then."
Jimmy: "Okay, do you need Nia to participate?"
Kevin shook his head: "No, you just need to come with me. I will introduce a few people to you then."
Jimmy nodded, picked up the glass and drank, "Thanks, Kevin. Cheers."
My future father-in-law will be awesome. This can be regarded as the first time to participate in an event with him, so I can see what the activities between big shots are like.
——
A quiet week passed, and Jimmy went to work honestly. Maybe Peter had taken care of it. OPR never came to Jimmy to trouble him. It should be considered that the previous shooting and kidnapping suspect was settled.
The new field manager's name is Amanda Callaway. She is a blond beauty. Well, she is considered an expired beauty. She looks like she is in her 40s. Her blond hair is loose around her shoulders. She doesn't look like her hair is tied up like other female agents. Appear capable.
But it should be normal. After all, she doesn't need to go out in the field. Like Hughes, she only handles things here in the office. She doesn't need to be like everyone else.
She did a good job in her inaugural speech, and at least seemed very ambitious to replace Rhys Hughes and run the field team in her own way, but it seemed that many people were not very interested.
Such a long time is enough for everyone to understand how Hughes was driven away, and it is obviously unrealistic to convince everyone in a short time by transferring a boss from Atlanta.
None of this has anything to do with Jimmy. He has not been to their office at all this week. Mrs. Mason has also arranged to go out to school twice to do safety promotion tasks. Although it is not tiring, it is always good to go out.
Jimmy got off work early in the afternoon and went home to wash up and change into a suit and a blue-purple diagonal striped tie. He took care of it carefully before driving to Kevin's house. When the time was almost up, he picked Kevin up and went to participate in the evening activities. .
Jimmy is the driver today, and the CLS has been taken back. After a round of refurbishment by the 4S store, the entire car looks almost the same as new, and it is not too disgraceful.
Kevin: "Do you like Mercedes-Benz cars?"
Jimmy: "No, I don't have any special hobbies. It's just that when I changed my car, this car just came on the market, so I bought one directly. It seemed okay."
Kevin: "Well, it's fine for daily use, but if you want to change your next car, choose an executive model."
Jimmy: "What about the brand?"
Kevin: "It's okay, just go and experience it yourself."
Jimmy: "Okay, I'll choose."
Speaking from experience, Kevin’s own car is a Cadillac. Although Jimmy has never ridden in one, he knows the brand, perhaps to suit his status.
He is just an FBI agent, and it seems that it is not yet time to change to an executive car, but Kevin has already said, let's change it, anyway, it is not short of the money.
Kevin: "Tonight's event is a small charity auction. One of the organizers of the event is the Police Care Foundation, a local New York foundation that mainly provides money and materials to help police officers who are living in difficulty and the families of injured police officers. and moral support to ease the difficulties they face.
This foundation is organized by members of the two clubs. Although it is not sponsored by the New York City Police Association, it has received their support, so today there will be many people from the city government and the police department participating, and we will also invite Some celebrities come over. "
Jimmy: "Okay, do I need to participate in the auction?"
Kevin: "No, this kind of auction has relatively fixed participants. My participation is just to endorse their activities, and they just need me to take a photo or something."
I will introduce a few people to you later. One of them is a board member of the New York University Alliance. Get to know him first, and then think about what to do later. "
Jimmy: "Is it about the further study I told you a few days ago?"
Kevin: "Yeah, but it's not clear yet. Let's get in touch first."
Jimmy: "Thank you."
Upon arrival at the destination, an art gallery in Chelsea was temporarily removed from the exhibits and set up as the venue for this charity auction.
At the entrance of the gallery, a red carpet did not extend too long. There were some banners and display boards on the left and right sides, with the logo and slogan of the Charity Police Care Fund printed on them. Of course, other organizers of the auction also had displays.
Jimmy followed Kevin into the entrance, and entered the gallery after the staff checked the invitation. Jimmy also picked up an activity brochure, which contained an introduction from the organizer of the auction and information about some of the auction items.
But there was no time to check now. Jimmy and Kevin entered the exhibition area and saw that there were already many people here.
The venue is mainly divided into three areas: exhibition area, auction area and activity area. The exhibition area is at the entrance and is relatively large. The auction items for this event have been displayed around it. There are paintings and some things that look a bit old. Each lot has a detailed description, but no starting price.
Inside the exhibition area is the auction area. You can see neatly arranged chairs and podiums, but no one is sitting there yet.
Next to the auction area is the activity area. Although the specific content cannot be seen, Jimmy can see that there are many people inside, some standing and some sitting. Judging from the cups in their hands, that area should be for social activities. area for guests to rest and provide social activities.
Kevin looked at the people around him and pulled Jimmy: "Jimmy, you can take a look here first, it's still early."
Jimmy: "Okay, what about you?"
Kevin: "I'll go inside and say hello to some people first. I'll come back and call you when they arrive."
Jimmy: "Okay."
Kevin walked towards the activity area inside, while Jimmy began to observe the auction items here. It can be seen that none of the auction items here are particularly valuable. Several oil paintings and sketches indicate that they should be the works of well-known painters. However, Jimmy's ability to appreciate paintings is not high and he cannot tell what is so good about them. .
One of them, "Landscape of Freedom," is pretty good. It's quite large. It would look good if hung in the living room. The colors are very rich, with large expanses of green grass and trees, and a high mountain in the distance. The white snow on the top of the mountain also creates a layered look. At least Jimmy seems to be feeling pretty good. He doesn't like figure paintings, but he is somewhat interested in landscape paintings.
Continuing to read, a hunting knife soon caught Jimmy's eye. It was handmade by MS-level masters of the ABS Knifesmith Association. The blade has a Damascus diagonal stripe pattern. The knife is about 15 cm long and has been sharpened. It has a black Micarta handle and a yellow With a copper handguard and alligator leather sheath, the whole knife looks very classy.
Unfortunately, Kevin said that he would not be allowed to participate in the auction today. He would see the auction price of this knife later, and if he has the opportunity, he would also find an MS knife maker to buy one.
Looking at the auction items one by one, there weren't many that caught his eye. The only thing that interested him in participating in the auction was a gemstone necklace. The pendant made of rubies, emeralds and black gemstones looked very good, and it didn't look very good. I wonder if Nia is interested.
Jimmy took out his phone and took a photo, so he could ask her later.
