North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 521 New Department, New Atmosphere?

Jimmy was still wondering, Tim smiled and said no more, "You will know when you go, take a good rest. Hughes?"

Hughes: "Jimmy, go over there and work hard, and you'll be back. Come on, Tim."

Tim nodded and left the homicide office with Hughes.

After they left, David White, who had been waiting at the door for a while, came in, "Hey, Jimmy, it looks like you're going to move out today."

Jimmy was still puzzled, but without delaying his tea, "Sit, David, are you familiar with the Public Affairs Office?"

David was also polite, and sat directly on the sofa and took a cup. Jimmy poured tea for him, "I'm not very familiar with it, but the logistics department is much easier than our field department. Go and have a good rest for a while, wait You'll be back soon."

Jimmy shrugged, "Well, it seems that we don't know what to do until we get there. Drink tea."

After Jimmy finished his tea, he left the tea set here, took a cardboard box and began to pack his own table.You don’t need to bring the data files. These are the things of the homicide team. He only needs to pack his own things, including various honor badges, water glasses, paper and pens, and other miscellaneous items. In addition, there are spare bullets in the drawer and the retired S&W M686- 1.

Yes, this gun Jimmy didn't keep at home, but kept it as a spare pistol at the Bureau.He has a spare gun in the safe at home, and the other 1875 has never been taken out of the safe, while the other guns are all carried with him, and it is convenient to take one in the bureau in case of an accident.

Carrying his own cardboard box, Jimmy came to the public affairs office upstairs. The downstairs is mainly field agents and administrative logistics departments. The public affairs office is upstairs. Because they are mainly for external publicity, they will contact many external agencies and Public figures, working with the FBI field team will affect each other.

When he came to the public affairs office, Jimmy said a few words to the girl at the front desk, asked her name, and she made an intercom call and called Isabel Martinez, the assistant in charge.

Soon, a woman in a professional suit came out, she looked like she was in her 30s, she was white, with long hair, and she had a good face and was very beautiful.

Isabel walked up to Jimmy with a smile and shook hands with him: "Isabel Martinez. Welcome, Yang."

Jimmy also responded with a smile: "Jimmy Young."

Isabel: "Come with me, a seat has been prepared for you."

Jimmy carried the suitcase and followed Isabel into the office area.

Isabelle: "We know what you do, and it's beautiful."

Jimmy: "Ah, that's what I'm supposed to do. They're all co-workers. Has word spread?"

Isabel: "Of course, but don't worry, no one will say anything. This is your office, please come in."

Jimmy asked "Huh?" in confusion, what's going on?A newcomer in my department actually has a single room with glass walls?
Jimmy looked at Isabel: "Is this for me?"

Isabel said with a smile: "That's right, put down your belongings first, and follow me to see the supervisor, Eleanor Mason."

Jimmy nodded, he put the cardboard box on the table, and walked with Isabel to the supervisor's office inside.

Isabel knocked on the glass door, opened it and walked in, "Mrs. Mason, Jimmy Young is here."

Eleanor Mason, an old lady who looks to be about 5 or 60 years old, has a thin face. It can be seen that her skin is not very good. Her forehead lines and crow's feet are very obvious, but she has a good foundation. She must have been a few decades ago The big beauty, who used to be blond, now looks mostly gray.

Eleanor stood up and reached out to shake Jimmy's hand right behind the desk, "You are welcome, Yang. Thank you, Isabel."

Isabel nodded, turned and left her office, and closed the door behind her.

It can be seen that the public affairs office should belong to a department with more women, and both the supervisor and assistant are women.

Eleanor: "Sit down, please. Can I call you Jimmy?"

Jimmy nodded with a smile: "Of course, Mrs. Mason."

Eleanor: "I've heard your name a lot recently. How about it? Transfer from the field to the internal affairs department."

Jimmy: "It's all for our collective family, no matter what department. Don't worry, I'm fine."

Eleanor nodded, no matter what Jimmy thought, at least this attitude is worthy of recognition, "How much do you know about the Public Affairs Office?"

Jimmy: "I don't know. I have been in the field department before, and I only spent a very short time in the administrative department for a while."

Eleanor: "Well, we are the official media and public affairs liaison for the Manhattan office, providing information and advice to the public, news media, and other key stakeholders.

Improve public awareness and understanding of our FBI work, strengthen education and ideology for citizens, ensure the image and popularity of the FBI among the public, and maintain a fair and transparent image in society. "

Jimmy nodded while listening, with a smile on his face all the time. Of course, his smile was relatively reserved, with his mouth closed and one corner of his mouth turned up.

Eleanor: "In short, except for some special case reports that are handled by some teams of the field department, we are basically responsible for other matters that deal with the media and institutions, and even if they handle the case reports themselves, We also need our assistance. Do you understand?"

Jimmy: "Understood. For example, to announce some social activities, such as going to the campus to give safety lectures, publicizing on TV, etc., are all our responsibility, right?"

Eleanor: "It's understandable. I know you won't be here for long."

Just as Jimmy was about to speak, Eleanor interrupted him directly: "No need to explain, I understand. More than one or two people have contacted me about your location these days."

The smile on Jimmy's face gradually disappeared. He knew that some departments would accept him when he came back this time, and Dave would definitely intervene a little bit, but he didn't know how far Dave could do it.

He was sitting and looking at Eleanor, and Eleanor continued: "People like you should be placed in the field department. I think many people have reached a consensus on this point. So, don't worry too much, just enjoy this period of relaxation day."

Eleanor took out a document and looked at it: "Normal newcomers need to go through a novice period of at least two or three years. After all, they have to face the media and the public, and many things need to be very careful, but your time may not be enough. There are so many, so I have two positions for you to choose, first, observe and assist the spokesperson to hold a press conference, and second, communicate with social groups, such as the cases and technical guidance of your young people’s favorite movies and TV shows.”

Jimmy blinked and was a little confused. He has never been involved in these things, so how could he know which one is more suitable for him?But it seems that the second one is more interesting. "I obey the department's arrangement, Mrs. Mason."

Eleanor nodded: "Well, you go back and sort it out first, I will consider the specific arrangements."

Jimmy stood up: "Okay, goodbye, Mrs. Mason."

Opening the office door, Jimmy returned to his office.Although this office is relatively small, it is an independent office. This is the first time he has enjoyed such treatment in the FBI for so long.In the past, the homicide team was often alone in the office, but he did not own the office in name.

Putting personal items on the table, putting the spare revolver and bullets in the drawer and locking them, Jimmy finally settled down.

This room is somewhat small, but there is still room for a small coffee table next to it.Jimmy thought about it for a while, and planned to ask about it later. It would be nice to have a small coffee table to make tea in the office.

While imagining how free he would be in the small office in the future, Jimmy's phone rang, and he picked it up with a glance. Caitlin's voice came, "Jimmy, where are you? Why don't you bring your task phone?"

Jimmy glanced at the office area outside, "Of course I'm at work, I can't come to the FBI office with a box. Any news?"

Caitlin: "Well, let's go to the Counter Terrorism Agency."

Jimmy: "Now?"

Caitlin obviously didn't expect Jimmy to ask, "Is it not convenient for you now? It's lunch time."

Jimmy: "Okay. Bye"

Jimmy didn't expect that he didn't have a phone when he was resting at home, and the phone came just after work.Now he is not engaged in field work, and going out is not as convenient as before.

While Jimmy was worrying about the phone, Isabel came to Eleanor's office, "Mrs. Mason."

Eleanor: "Isabel, let Jimmy learn about our work for a while. If there is news communication, let him sit in."

Isabel: "So fast? He seems to have no experience at all."

Eleanor: "Well, get him familiar with participating as soon as possible."

Isabel nodded: "I understand, I will get him familiar as soon as possible."

Isabel returned to her office, took a few folders from the cabinet, and began to search for materials in it. This is the public affairs office, and all the people and things she came into contact with were outsiders. Many of them were emergencies. Things don't have fully archived information.

Normal employees would stay in the department for a long time before starting to get in touch with some special tasks, but Jimmy, who was destined to only stay in the department for a while and would be transferred back to the field, did not have so much time to slow down like ordinary employees. learn.

Another key point is that although Jimmy was transferred from the field department, in fact he is still a field agent with law enforcement authority. This is a natural advantage over most people in the public affairs office, because he has more secret authority. Gao, there is no need to keep many things secret from him.

Most of the people in the Public Affairs Office are federal employees, that is, employees of the FBI agency, and they do not have law enforcement powers. If they are distinguished from the level of confidentiality, their rank is lower.

Near noon, Jimmy left the FBI office to go to the Anti-Terrorist Bureau, but he went home first and came here with a suitcase.

Now that there is news, it is more convenient to put the box in the car. The main reason is that the gun slots on Jimmy’s body are full, and there is no place to put the gun in the box, and the guns on him have been reported. A gun without a serial number, if something goes wrong, he will be the one who will be in trouble.

The second reason is the box that isolates the signal. This thing can't always be held in your hand. It's a big box and you can't put it in your pocket.

Arriving at the door of Kaitlin's office, Caitlin was writing something. After Jimmy knocked on the door, she took a file bag and put it on the document, and looked at Jimmy with a frown: "Why don't you bring your mobile phone?"

Jimmy didn't wait for Caitlin to speak, and sat on the chair opposite her desk: "It's not convenient, you know I just changed departments, and now is a sensitive time."

Caitlin: "Forget it this time, at least the communication needs to be kept open during the mission."

Jimmy: "No problem, I've gone back and got the walkie-talkie and the phone, I'll take them with me. What's the status of the mission?"

Kaitlyn: "Two embassy cars left Washington DC yesterday, they chose not to come directly to New York, they went to Baltimore and dropped off two people at Baltimore Harbor.

We've checked, they're not our target, and the carry-on items don't have what we're looking for.

If there is no accident, yesterday's action should be to test our reaction, that is to say, they will not necessarily choose New York to leave the country, but are preparing multiple routes.

At the same time, this also means that the intelligence provided by our insiders is not the final result. We must always be ready to update the intelligence and respond.

So do you understand why you are asked to carry your mobile phone at all times?Your performance today was very unprofessional. "

Jimmy: "I understand. I'll pay attention."

Caitlin: "You can go back first."

Jimmy: "Goodbye."

Jimmy got up and left Kaitlyn's office. Hey, it's not Caitlyn's fault for scolding, it's all his own fault.In order to prevent others from discovering, he really did a poor job this time.

When Jimmy arrived at the parking lot, he looked left and right to see if there was no one there. He first opened the box and took out the mobile phone and the walkie-talkie. The mobile phone was in the inner pocket of the suit, and the walkie-talkie was put in the glove box for the time being, which is not easy to store.

After driving back to the underground parking lot of the FBI office in Federation Square, Jimmy pinned the walkie-talkie to his lower back, and did not wear earplugs for the time being. The battery life of this thing is limited, and it is meaningless to wear it all the time.I came out and found a dining car and bought two tacos for lunch, so let’s make do.

In the afternoon, Isabel sent Jimmy a set of printed speeches, which were specific incident files, so that he could familiarize himself with them first, and his attitude was really very good.

Jimmy was sitting in the office, looking at the people in the office area outside through the glass wall. The public affairs office was a bit yin-yang and yang-declining. It seemed that the proportion of women was a bit high, but I don't know if there were many people absent.
