North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 506 Is Overcast?
Jimmy and David chatted while drinking tea. David used to be mainly responsible for counter-terrorism intelligence-related tasks. I can't say the specifics, but it is estimated that he was transferred after 911/[-] in recent years.

Now that he has the opportunity to return to handle normal cases, although he is not very happy, he can accept it.

People on the anti-terrorism line have too much authority. At the beginning, because of the 911 incident, although most people were upset, they also tacitly agreed that they could violate certain rights to some extent.

As the days passed, the shadow of that time had gradually dissipated with time and the actions of the US military in the Middle East, so restrictions on the FBI were put on the agenda again.

It's better to get out of that line now and return to normal than to do things in the future. The key is that there are not many opportunities to handle cases in the office, and even fewer opportunities to control a team.

Now David is the same as Jimmy in the past, acting as an agent of the homicide team, and Mahone is the official team leader. Although he was seconded, his position has not been removed.

The office team handles normal cases, can contact more high-level people and people in the bureau, and correspondingly has a wider upward channel, whether it is in the office, to the headquarters, or transferred to other offices, the general road is relatively wide.

The line of anti-terrorism is relatively closer to DHS and they are even transparent in the bureau. Except for leaders, it is difficult for others to rise up, especially since there are not many domestic terrorist attacks in the United States. investigative intelligence information.

David has obviously learned about the homicide team these days, and all kinds of rumors about Jimmy have also been involved. Although he is relatively old, he didn't show the old man's spectrum in front of Jimmy. The two chatted very happily.

After drinking tea, David continued to check the information, while Jimmy sat boredly waiting for the notification.

Something was wrong, the two-week suspension, and the change of department after the suspension was decided before.Because he left the field service, he would not be under the control of Hughes in the future, so Jimmy didn't go to Hughes's side when he came over in the morning, but wanted to meet and chat with them after he was sure.

It's been a long time since I went to work, why didn't anyone come to notify me?Jimmy took out his mobile phone and looked at it. The FBI-issued mobile phone did not receive any news, whether it was a call or a text message.He is very sure that there is no arrears on this mobile phone, so no one must have contacted him.

Staying in the office until almost noon, Jimmy couldn't help it, because he didn't know who to turn to, he could only turn to the person who was most likely to know his future arrangements, Tim Dunn from the administrative department.

Jimmy's newly assigned Saab was never repossessed, and he still has the keys.

Under normal circumstances, after being suspended and transferred to the internal affairs department, Jimmy's car should be recovered, but when Tim Dunn came to him to recover the gun and badge, he did not recover the car keys at the same time. In principle, the car It's better to give it to him, and it depends on when the above party finds out this problem.

Jimmy put on his suit and came outside Tim Dunn's office. After checking that there was no one else inside, he knocked on the door, "Dunn."

Dunn looked up: "Oh, Jimmy, long time no see. Please sit down, how are you doing?"

Jimmy sat in front of Dunn's desk, "I'm fine, I went out for a walk, and I just came to work today. Dunn, I have a question, do you know which department I was assigned to?"

Dunn asked suspiciously: "Didn't you receive the notice?"

Jimmy nodded: "No one came to me this morning, and there were no calls or text messages."

Dunn: "Wait a minute, let me see."

Dunn searched Jimmy's name on the computer, and frowned: "Oh, something must have gone wrong, your position should have been assigned before, why are you still in the homicide team now? You wait here. "

Dunn got up and left the office. He was mainly responsible for administrative affairs such as personnel and equipment. He had nothing to do with the distribution department and the like, and he hadn't paid special attention to Jimmy's distribution before.

Jimmy was bored in a daze in Dunn's office. When the internal affairs staff outside passed by the office door, they would always smile and nod to him inside, making Jimmy very uncomfortable, feeling like there were ants crawling on his body.

This kind of office is separated by transparent glass, and now there are no curtains. Jimmy inside is like a showcase, becoming an exhibit.

It was almost noon break time, and Dunn finally came back. He looked at Jimmy with a look of embarrassment on his face: "Jimmy, you need to wait for your position, and it hasn't been decided yet."

Jimmy's eyes widened: "What's going on?"

Dunn: "Don't ask, anyway, it's not settled yet, you can go back and wait for news."

Looking at Dunn's face, Jimmy also felt that there was something wrong here. He nodded, got up and buttoned his suit and left Dunn's office.

Something was wrong, and instead of going back to the office, Jimmy came straight to Hughes.Hughes probably went out for lunch, and Jimmy is not in the mood to eat now, so he just put his feet on the table in the conference room and slept for a while.

"Jimmy, why are you here?" Jimmy wanted to squint at first, but unexpectedly fell asleep.Someone called him, he turned his head and glanced, put his feet down and stood up, "Peter, I'm waiting for Hughes."

Peter: "Um, didn't you call him? He's not here today."

Jimmy: "If you don't pay attention, it's too bad."

Jimmy moved his legs and slept with his feet crossed for a while, but his legs were still a little numb.After a while of activities, Jimmy suddenly thought that Peter would be fine if Hughes was not there.

Jimmy: "By the way, Peter, do me a favor."

Peter nodded: "You say."

Jimmy: "Help me find out which department I'm going to be assigned to? Why hasn't it been decided yet?"

Peter frowned: "Haven't they settled on your suspension for two weeks? I understand. You go back first, and I will ask for you."

Jimmy patted Peter's arm: "Thanks, then I'll go back first."

Jimmy left the conference room, Peter put his hands on his hips, his expression was a little ugly.

It has been two weeks, and most of the people in the bureau, at least those in the field service department, know why Jimmy was suspended, avenging his own people, being suspended without causing trouble, and quietly accepting the bureau's arrangement.Now that he's back to work, it's not a small problem if he can't arrange his position.

Jimmy is completely unfamiliar with the people in the bureau, and he has no way to inquire about it. As for calling Hughes, forget it and wait for news from Peter.

Peter's efficiency is very fast. When he was about to get off work in the afternoon, Peter called Jimmy and asked him to sit outside after get off work.

In Jimmy's bar, Peter and Jimmy came in one after another. They stood in front of the bar, took their glasses and walked to an empty table to sit down.

Peter: "Jimmy, things are a little tricky."

Jimmy frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"

Peter: "There is no problem with the internal affairs department. Whether it is the public relations department, the archives department, or the evidence warehouse, they can accept you there, but some people want you to change places, and Hughes has already intervened."

Jimmy: "Another place?"

Peter nodded, picked up his glass and took a sip: "The specific situation has not been determined yet, but someone wants to transfer you out of the Manhattan office. It is inconvenient for me to ask too many questions, so I can only do this temporarily."

Jimmy stopped talking, just thinking about the reason while drinking.I don't seem to have any disputes with the people above. Thinking carefully about my experience in the past few years, I really have nothing to do with the above. Whether it is a case or a relationship with the bureau, it seems that I have no contact at all.

The only person who may have a relationship with the above is the two personnel who were attacked this time. One is the senator. Maybe because he lost a subordinate and a source of income, he arranged something behind the scenes. His level has to be compared with the FBI. It is too easy for the top to get on the line.

The other is Greg, and it was Jimmy's order from Winston to kill Greg. There was no investigation of Greg's home or office, and it was completely unknown whether he had told anyone else about Jimmy.As a DHS consultant, it would be easy for him to contact the senior management of Jimmy's office.

Those were the only two possibilities Jimmy could think of for being related to higher ups.

But these two possibilities are actually very low. First of all, Greg is dead. Even if he has contacted relevant people before, in this case, it is unlikely that he will make arrangements according to his last words in advance. Jimmy is gone.

It is even more impossible for the senator. Hughes came forward in person at the beginning, just talking about a subordinate and a source of income.

Jimmy drank the wine in the glass, got up and went to the bar to ask Woody to pour him another glass, and pour some more.

Back at the table, Peter hadn't finished his drink, he looked at Jimmy worriedly, obviously he understood that now Jimmy was thinking about what happened to cause him to be like this.

Peter: "Any ideas?"

Jimmy shook his head: "I can't think of anyone who would do this, I think maybe Hughes should know something."

Peter nodded: "I asked, Hughes went to Washington DC, and he may come back the day after tomorrow. Do you call him directly or wait for him to come back?"

Jimmy: "Wait until he comes back. It's better to talk about this kind of thing in person. It's not safe on the phone."

Peter: "Well, then be careful these two days so that nothing will happen." After finishing speaking, Peter drank the wine in the glass and stood up, "I'm going back first, Elizabeth is still waiting for me to go back."

Jimmy got up and sent Peter off: "Be careful driving on the road."

Jimmy sent Peter away, returned to say hello to Woody, left the bar and returned to the apartment.

After a day of fishing in the office with peace of mind, Hughes finally came back.Hughes greeted Jimmy into the office, "Jimmy, who did you offend?"

Jimmy shook his head: "I've been thinking about it for two days, but I still don't have any clues. Do you know what's going on?"

Hughes: "They have very good reasons. It is too wasteful to go to the internal affairs department for your record. Now there are two options. The first one is to transfer you to Quantico for HRT assessment, where you can give full play ability. Another option is to go back to Quanti Academy of Sciences and serve as an instructor for two years before considering returning to the field service.”

Jimmy frowned. "Their goal is to transfer me out of the Manhattan office?"

Hughes nodded: "I haven't found the reason yet, but the Quanti Academy of Sciences has already opened their mouths. If they let you go, they will be very happy to accept you."

Jimmy is really a little confused, Hughes, the old supervisor, can't figure out the reason?Or... is there a reason why it's inconvenient to say it?
Hughes: "By the way, Mahone was shot and is in a hospital in Chicago recuperating."

Jimmy: "Seriously?"

Hughes: "Shot in the left chest, near the heart, is fine and recuperating."

Jimmy: "Then he probably won't be able to return to the office for the time being."

Hughes: "Well, David will take over the homicide team. You go back to rest first, you don't need to come to work for the time being, wait for the notice."

Jimmy took two deep breaths, "I see, it's a rest anyway, I'm going to see Mahone."

Hughes nodded, and Jimmy turned and left his office.Hughes looked at the back of Jimmy leaving, and his expression changed, "You guys are too much, I hope you like this gift."

Jimmy went back to the office, tidied up the desk, said hello to David, left the office and went home.I called Nia, and I was going to Chicago to visit Mahone who was shot, and then Jimmy rushed directly to the airport with his suitcase and took off for Chicago.

Jimmy was only given back his badge and gun, his FBI ID is still there, and his identity is not a problem, so boarding the plane with a revolver is not a problem, the only trouble is a few hours of flying, and no alcoholic drinks are allowed .

Hey, Jimmy was actually in a really bad mood on the plane. In the past few years since he came to the FBI, none of the bosses he has experienced has been safe and smooth.

Peter was shot, Ruiz was shot, Chris had cancer, and Mahone was shot... Except for Hughes, no one else had good luck. Mahone was only seconded to the Chicago office to investigate the prison break case, why was he suddenly shot up?

You must know that Jimmy knows Mahone's skills. He is definitely the most powerful FBI field agent, and his thinking is meticulous. At most, he can't find anyone who escapes from prison. How can he be killed by them?This unscientific.

After Jimmy landed, he took a taxi to the Chicago office. He had called Mahon before he came, and the phone was turned off. Now he had to go to the Chicago office to find someone to check the location.

Relying on the FBI certificate, Jimmy successfully entered the Chicago office, found the people in the office to inquire, and learned that Jimmy was Mahone's subordinate in Manhattan, came to see him, and successfully got the address of the hospital from other agents.

Jimmy came to the hospital with a bouquet of flowers, glanced at the ward through the window on the door, and confirmed that the person lying on the bed was Mahone. Jimmy knocked on the door and twisted the handle to enter the ward: "Good evening, Mahone. Now How? Why are you so careless?"
