Although this was Adam Maxwell's second time meeting Jimmy, it was indeed his first conversation. He didn't notice Jimmy at all in the FBI conference room last time.
If it was just a senior FBI agent, he could completely ignore it, but that business card made him very concerned. Not everyone could use a senior senator's personal business card as a stepping stone.
After returning home, Maxwell locked himself in his study and began to investigate the information. However, he could not connect to the FBI database and could only collect information through personal methods. The time was not right now, and it was troublesome to find someone to help.
Jimmy Young, he had heard this name before, but he had never handled Jimmy's case. He was relatively unfamiliar. He had the impression that he was just a well-known figure in the FBI. He was very young and not a big shot.
The investigation of information was not that fast. Maxwell rested in the study for a while and then left the study to rest.
Jimmy did not stop Maxwell from leaving. He needed to give Maxwell a little time to investigate Jimmy's identity and determine the relationship between Jimmy and Senator Hagerty. The most important thing was to communicate again.
It was still uncertain when Maxwell would be able to investigate this clearly, so Jimmy set his next target on Director Callaway.
Director Callaway is in more trouble. First of all, we can't talk in the office. It's too blatant and no one can stand it. It won't look good if it makes a big fuss.
Secondly, it couldn’t be in the hotel room where she stayed, because Director Callaway came from Atlanta and there was no house in New York, so she stayed in a hotel at first, but then various cases came up and Director Callaway didn’t have time to find an apartment. , can only stay in the hotel temporarily.
Now Peter's case has not been settled. As a field supervisor, Callaway has to be in the office every day. She has no interest in finding a suitable apartment to live in for the time being.
Jimmy thought about it and decided to meet directly in the hotel parking lot. As long as he found a good corner and was out of the surveillance range, the conversation would be fine and would not be leaked.
After get off work, Jimmy left the office and came to the underground parking lot. He sat in the car and did not leave, but waited.
Callaway worked overtime today, and when she came down and drove away in the delivery car, Jimmy followed her.
As expected, she was a supervisor-level figure and had been away from the field for too long. Jimmy drove his CLS and followed her all the way without being discovered.
But today was strange. Callaway did not go back to the hotel, but drove to the Upper East Side. Jimmy followed her slowly in the busy traffic until Callaway entered a parking lot, and then Jimmy watched her enter a Women's SPA Club.
FK, Jimmy looked at the door of the club and couldn't help but want to curse, so he followed all the way in vain, forget it, go home.
On the way back, Jimmy received a call from Maxwell and asked him to meet tomorrow night. The information was found, and Jimmy readily agreed to his request, even letting Maxwell specify the time and place.
There was finally a task to be completed, which was good news. Jimmy had a good night's sleep after returning. He was originally scheduled to get off work the next day and follow Supervisor Callaway, but now he can only postpone it a little.
At work the next day, Jimmy went to find Mahone as usual. Their investigation had come to an end, and they were now looking for traces of James Bennett. There was no update on the case investigation.
When leaving, he happened to meet Director Callaway at the elevator door. Jimmy thought for a while and said directly, "Director Callaway, good morning."
Director Callaway glanced at Jimmy and said, "Good morning, Jimmy. Are you here to inquire about the progress of the case investigation?"
Jimmy: "Yes, if there are no surprises, there will be a press conference next week."
Director Callaway: "Well, if you need any help, please contact me."
Jimmy: "Okay, thanks, Director Callaway."
The elevator went down to the first floor. Jimmy got out of the elevator and took out a cigarette case and lighter from his pocket. He followed Callaway out of the building. He stood next to him smoking and watched Director Callaway leave Federal Plaza on foot.
Jimmy finished smoking a cigarette and before he saw Director Callaway come back, he took out another cigarette. He didn't light it, but held it in his hand and looked at the crowd around the square.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, Jimmy saw Director Callaway coming back from the roadside. He took a few steps and came to the front of Director Callaway, "Director Callaway, is it convenient now? I'll take a minute of your time."
Callaway was about to enter the building. When she heard Jimmy's words, she stopped and looked at Jimmy, frowned, and then smiled, "Of course. Please say it."
Jimmy stretched out his hand to signal the two of them to move aside. The place where he smoked was the blind spot of the surveillance outside the building. This was determined long ago.
Jimmy: "Supervisor, someone asked me to do a favor and bring you a message. Someone hopes that you can submit a transfer application. DC or other positions are acceptable. The matter has been resolved. This is what I brought to you. "
Jimmy took out a player from his pocket and handed it to Callaway. This was a brand new player he took the time to buy after listening to the recording, and had already copied the recording in advance.
The professional smile on Director Callaway's face disappeared, "Who?"
Jimmy: "I'm just a messenger, someone who delivers messages and things. You can communicate with the higher-ups later. I think the higher-ups should have reached an agreement."
Jimmy took out the lighter, lit the cigarette that had been in his hand for a while, took a puff and blew out the smoke. Jimmy did not look at Callaway, but at the people in the square, "Senator Platt's criminal evidence has been investigated." It’s clear. I’m sure there are no problems with the evidence. Of course, there are some things that someone will continue to investigate. Director Callaway, I’m just a small role, and I don’t know many things, so I can’t provide you with many clues.”
Callaway shook the player in his hand: "Have you heard it? What's in it?"
Jimmy: "Call log."
Callaway: "About what?"
Jimmy did not answer her question, "Please give me a message after Director Callaway. I also need to reply to the others."
Jimmy threw the half-smoked cigarette into the ashtray on the trash can. "Then, I won't disturb the supervisor. I still need to go back to the office to process the documents. Goodbye, Director Callaway."
Jimmy didn't wait for her reply, turned around and walked into the building and returned to his office.
Callaway put the player into her handbag and just watched Jimmy leave. She stood there for a while and then walked upstairs to her office.
Callaway took out the earplugs from the drawer and plugged them into the player. Callaway started the player and started playing the files inside. The record of his previous call with Senator Platt was played.
After listening to the conversation inside, Callaway took off his earbuds and pulled out a file from the table and opened it. This is Jimmy's FBI file. It contains an overview of some of the cases Jimmy handled at the FBI. There are many files corresponding to the cases. It is impossible to show them all in this document.
——
In the evening, Jimmy went to a club in Brooklyn and was taken to his room after giving Maxwell's name to the waiter.
The style of this club is quite good. The furniture and wall decorations in the room are all made of wood. There are dark oak bar counters and wine racks, spacious and comfortable dark leather seats, and a special-shaped wooden table in the middle. Service call and ashtray, and a bottomed wine glass.
When Jimmy walked over, he started to observe the decorations and items in the room. After opening the door and entering, he scanned left and right to make sure that no surveillance probes were found, and then he felt relieved.
Maxwell was already inside. He stood up and shook hands with Jimmy to welcome him, and then led Jimmy to the wine rack. In addition to some wine, there was also a small cabinet on the wine rack.
He opened the cabinet and found two rows of cigar boxes inside. "The cigars here are also good. Jimmy, try them. What do you want to drink?"
Jimmy laughed and said, "Bourbon is fine. Oh, Montecristo, that's it."
Jimmy took out a Monte A cigar, closed the cabinet and came to the seat. Maxwell had already walked over with a bottle of bourbon and two glasses, "It seems you like cigars very much too."
Jimmy said while toasting the cigar: "Actually, I smoke very little. I mainly smoke cigarettes. Thank you."
Jimmy picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Maxwell, "Cheers."
Putting down the cup, Jimmy looked at Maxwell: "Mr. Maxwell...Adam, how are you thinking?"
Maxwell corrected Jimmy's address to him, then picked up the cigar he had smoked before, took two puffs, and exhaled the smoke, "Jimmy, some things are not that simple."
Jimmy: "I'm listening."
Adam: "I understand your thoughts. The results of the investigation in Washington are very favorable to Peter, but I still can't just drop the charges."
Jimmy said in a very sure tone: "Someone is targeting Peter!"
Adam nodded: "Sorry to disappoint you."
Jimmy: "It seems that this person is very important to you." He smoked a cigar and thought for a while. Jimmy asked: "Curtis?"
Adam was shocked, a puff of cigarette stuck in his throat, and he coughed violently, "Cough cough cough." He finally stopped. He took a sip of bourbon and looked at Jimmy: "Where did you get this name?"
Jimmy smiled slightly: "Just tell me if your guess is right."
Adam shook his head: "I didn't expect you to investigate so much."
Jimmy: "Let's all be honest, so why?"
Adam: "I can't say."
Jimmy: "Who is he? You know, I can find out, it just takes a little time."
Adam: "Curtis Hagen, in jail for forgery."
Jimmy was speechless. He picked up the wine glass and took a sip. He put down the wine glass and looked at Adam: "I think you have already investigated me, so you should communicate with him first. If, if you can't communicate, I will go see him again." Him, I will have a good chat with him."
Adam didn't expect Jimmy to speak so bluntly. He was stunned for a moment, then put the cigar into his mouth and leaned back on the chair.
Jimmy watched Adam stop talking, and knew that he must have something that was taken advantage of by Curtis, but if he came forward directly, the effect would not be very good.
After thinking about it, Jimmy decided to put some pressure on him. He said, "Forgery charges only require a few years in prison. This Curtis will still be released from prison. You can tell him if he doesn't want to be outside." If you are targeted by me, it is best to put away these messy thoughts. My reputation is not particularly good in the eyes of some people."
Adam nodded. He understood what Jimmy meant. Not many people were sent to prison through his hands. Most of them could not wait for the ambulance to arrive. Such a vicious person would make anyone feel numb if they knew that he was targeting them. of.
But he does have something in Curtis' hands. If he talks to him directly like this, he may get himself into trouble. Curtis Hagen is an art criminal. This kind of person is very thoughtful. Although there is no threat of force like Jimmy, it is still possible to use the handle in his hand to get him off.
Adam glanced sideways at Jimmy. If these two people were to collide, it might be the best outcome for him.
Jimmy's words just now made it clear that he would not take the lead, and there was no way he could force him to go to the prison to talk to Curtis.
Adam: "Let me think about it."
Jimmy: "We don't have enough time. The prosecution hearing should be held in a few days, right?"
Adam: "Yeah, next week."
Jimmy: "So please take care of it as soon as possible. Thank you."
Jimmy looked at the cigar in his hand. The Monte A was originally shorter, but it was about the same now. He put the end of the cigar directly into the ashtray, poured wine into his and Adam's glasses, "I wish you all the best, cheers."
After drinking, Jimmy stood up and straightened his clothes. Adam Maxwell also stood up. The two shook hands and said goodbye. Jimmy left the club and drove back to the apartment. As for Adam, let him have a headache. This probably won't be that easy.
The next day, Jimmy didn't receive a call all day long. No matter it was Director Callaway or Prosecutor Adam Maxwell, there was no news from either of them. Jimmy couldn't help but panic.
It is understandable that Adam needs some time to communicate with the people behind him, but there is no news at all from Director Callaway, so something is wrong.
Although she has never interacted with him formally, Callaway's ability to be a supervisor is definitely not bad. Whether she is confirming news or considering plans, one day is enough. Even if she wants to refuse, she should have some feedback. Although Jimmy is not a field agent and is not under her responsibility now, it is easy to find Jimmy.
On the third day, Jimmy was reading the newspaper in the office when he suddenly received a call from Hughes. He frowned and answered the phone. He stood up and closed the office door, "Hughes, I'm in the office."
Hughes: "Let's have dinner together after get off work."
Jimmy: "Okay. Time and place?"
Hughes: "I'll send you a message later."
Jimmy: "No problem."
