North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 531 Good News and Bad News

After watching the news, Jimmy was in a bad mood. He took a bottle of whiskey and poured himself a big glass, and drank it down hard.

This is going to be a little bit troublesome. This group of office bosses have a good idea. Taking advantage of the public affairs office and not doing field work, they gradually push themselves to the front desk. This is also a reward for running to Florida in the middle of the night. .

But it is estimated that Dave and the others have not considered such consequences. Jimmy has indeed done a lot of cases before, but many of them are not convenient to disclose, and these TV reporters are definitely not limited to knowing only one name. Past experience will definitely be dug out, it depends on their ability to dig out.

Nia came back from overtime work, and as soon as she entered the door and saw Jimmy slumped on the sofa, the smile on her face didn't fade, "Honey, what's going on with the video in today's news?"

Jimmy got up lazily, "It was filmed by them when he was attacked before, and it was broadcast on the news once before, but the name was not broadcast that time.

The Bureau suppressed several interview requests from the media before and refused to let them release their names, so it was stable for a long time.Now that I'm at the public affairs office, and I'm at a press conference, that's public information.I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have shown up in public.How did they find this video! ? "

Jimmy picked up the pillow and covered his face, "Ah~~" The dull voice came through the pillow, making Nia laugh even louder.

Nia sat directly on Jimmy: "Okay, this is the case, what else can you do?"

Jimmy: "I'm thinking about taking two days off to wait for this to pass."

Nia reached out and patted Jimmy's face: "Don't think so much, I don't think the media will only announce these things, there must be other investigations, and they may continue to be broadcast, you'd better go back early , communicate with others."

Jimmy looked hopeless, "How bad can it be? I'm almost naked."

Nia: "It's okay, I've watched too much, and I don't care if other people watch it too."

Jimmy pulled her off and fell on himself, "You don't care I do."

-

The next day, Jimmy went to work honestly, but he didn't wear a suit at all today, but changed into everyday clothes, and went out with a cowboy hat he hadn't used for a long time.

Coming out of the parking lot, Jimmy put on a cowboy hat and sunglasses and entered the elevator.This style is rare in the buildings of federal agencies. "The hat is good." Jimmy nodded with a smile, came out on the floor of the public affairs office, and walked into the office area.

"Morning, Jimmy." The girl at the front desk looked at Jimmy who came in, and greeted him with a smile. Although Jimmy had changed his clothes, hat and sunglasses, it was no problem for those who were already familiar with him to recognize him.

"Morning, Alison." Jimmy raised his hand to say hello. Just as he was about to go in, he heard the girl at the front desk, Alison, say, "He has a good figure and looks good on camera."

Jimmy almost fell in place, no, shouldn't you girls go outside at night?Why do you watch the news?
He didn't answer, waved his hand and walked towards his office.

When Isabel saw Jimmy arrive in her office, she got up and walked over, knocked on the door, and said with a smile on her face, "I didn't expect you to be in such a good shape."

Jimmy took off his hat and looked up to the sky, heaved a sigh of relief, said softly, and then looked at Isabel, "I knew that nothing good would happen after it was made public. Who knew they would get all the previous videos out so quickly."

Isabel smiled a few times and then restrained the expression on her face, "Actually, they already knew it, yes, don't look at me like that, I'm telling the truth."

Jimmy: "Impossible. The earliest video was two years ago. Did you interfere with them not to publish my name?"

Isabelle: "Oh, you mean those videos? We didn't do it back then, you should thank Hughes."

Jimmy nodded: "It's probably conceivable, hey, I don't know if it will go astray this time, these journalists are really good at digging privacy."

Isabel: "Don't worry, if it's not something special, they will inform us in advance, even if it's just for them to get more news, they can't just take our people's privacy and release it."

Jimmy clapped his hands, "That's great, then I'm relieved. What's the next task?"

Isabel: "There will be no press conferences recently, and there will be some joint public events with other institutions, as well as a few campus trips. Are you interested?"

Jimmy waved his hand: "Forget it, I'll stay in the office honestly now."

Isabel: "Understandable, okay, let me see, if there is an activity suitable for you, I will let you know."

Jimmy: "Thank you."

Isabel left Jimmy's office, he picked up the hat on the table and hung it on the coat rack next to him, and the phone rang.

Jimmy: "Hi, James."

James: "Jimmy, we are already at the airport. If there is no accident, we will arrive in New York tonight."

Jimmy: "Wow, that's great news, isn't Mary with you?"

James: "Of course, we'll go straight from Europe to New York."

Jimmy: "No problem, I will arrange it. I will pick you up in the evening and send me the flight number."

James: "Well, please."

Jimmy hung up the phone and called Tom: "Tom, James will be in New York tonight. He is with Mary. When are you coming?"

Tom: "Are you there today? I see. I'll call you when I get to New York."

Jimmy: "OK, wait for your news, do you want me to talk to James first?"

Tom: "Let's talk about it when I get there."

Finally, there is good news. The arrival of James also represents the official start of Jimmy's planned engagement ceremony.

Jimmy excitedly waved his fist twice, returned to his seat and continued to look at the past information provided by the office.

In the evening, Jimmy drove to JFK Airport and waited for James and his flight at the exit wearing sunglasses and a cowboy hat.Because he appeared in the video broadcast by the public TV station, he really didn't have the confidence to appear in any public place as openly as before, so he had to use some cover-up methods.

Seeing that James' flight had landed in the flight information, he raised the sign he had prepared in advance.

James and Mary came out of the exit and saw Jimmy's sign at a glance, as well as the only Jimmy around who was wearing a cowboy hat.After being a county policeman for a long time, James is also very familiar with cowboy hats. Although the hats worn by county policemen are not exactly the same as cowboy hats, this kind of big-brimmed hat is actually similar.

"Hi, James, Mary. Long time no see." Jimmy put down the sign, hugged James, and then hugged Mary next to him.

"Jimmy, it looks like you're doing well, and you're strong again." James patted Jimmy, and Jimmy pulled up their suitcases, "Let's go, let's talk in the car."

Jimmy drove James and Mary out of JFK Airport and headed for Manhattan.Although it was night, the traffic was still a little congested.

Jimmy asked while driving: "James, how was the trip to Europe?"

James: "It's not bad. We visited several countries in Europe, tasted the local food, and relaxed for a few months. How about you?"

Jimmy: "Everything is fine. I told you on the phone before that my marriage proposal was successful. You can see Nia later."

James: "Have you booked a hotel for us?"

Jimmy: "It's fixed, it's not far from my apartment."

James: "OK, now, tell me about your girlfriend, I think I should know about it in advance."

Jimmy drove James and the others to the hotel, and Nia, who had received the call in advance, also came out of the apartment and waited for them at the hotel entrance.

Jimmy: "James, Mary, that's Nia, Nia Miller, my fiancée. Nia, James, Mary."

James: "You are Nia, boy, Jimmy has told me so many times."

Nia, James, and Mary greeted and hugged, Jimmy took out James and their suitcases from the trunk, the four of them entered the hotel lobby together, registered James and Mary and they came to their room, and put the suitcases down.

Jimmy: "James, you guys are probably tired after flying for a long time. Let's rest first. We'll go back first. I'll come back tomorrow night."

The four hugged and said goodbye, and Jimmy and Nia left the hotel.Because it's not a weekend, let James and the others do their own activities during the day. It's better to talk about it after they have rested.

Jimmy changed into another set of clothes and came to the office. In fact, because it is no longer a field job, when there is no public affairs to be dealt with, they do not restrict the clothing of employees at all. Most people in the public affairs office wear casual clothes, of course , Jimmy's cowboy hat and sunglasses still have to be worn.

While reading the materials, the phone rang. Jimmy glanced at it and picked it up immediately, "Hi, Watson, do you have any good news?"

Watson: "Can I come out now?"

Jimmy glanced at the offices of Isabel and Mrs. Mason respectively. Both of them were sitting in the office. He said, "No problem, time and place."

Watson: "The coffee shop not far from your downstairs."

Jimmy: "Wait for a few minutes."

Jimmy picked up his hat and sunglasses, sorted out his clothes and gun, and left the office.Although he is no longer doing field work, Jimmy still habitually carries his gun and revolver with him. There is no way, no one knows when an accident will happen, and it is better to be prepared than to have no weapons when something happens.

After entering the coffee shop, Jimmy glanced around and found Watson sitting in the corner. He walked straight over, and the waiter next to him also came to order.After the waiter left, Jimmy looked at Watson, "Watson, is there any good news?"

Watson nodded. He took his briefcase from the side, took out a file bag from it and handed it to Jimmy: "There is good news, your headquarters file has been taken out, and the information in the system has also been cleaned up."

Jimmy raised his eyebrows and took the file bag. He was in a good mood and said to Watson with a smile, "That's great, just take it out and save someone from digging it out again."

Watson: "The good news has been said, and now is the bad news." The smile on Jimmy's face disappeared immediately, and he raised his hand to stop Watson's words, "Wait a minute, my coffee is coming."

Jimmy has been to this coffee shop too many times, he knows their speed, and it was really fast, the waiter brought Jimmy's coffee over, "Jimmy, your coffee." When she was about to turn around and leave, she Added another sentence: "You look good on TV."

Jimmy was speechless. If he had known that he would not take off his hat and sunglasses, he would have been recognized right away.

Jimmy took a shallow sip of coffee, and said to Watson: "Now we can say, I hope the bad news is not too bad."

Watson: "There are two copies of your file, one from Ward Abbott, one of the founders of Project Stumbling Block, who is dead, and the other from Caitlin Prado, the current head of the Counter Terrorism Bureau. , your acquaintance."

Jimmy nodded: "Caitlin showed me my file once before, it was a copy, and she did make a copy. Is there any problem?"

Watson: "That's the problem. The information from the headquarters has been taken out. If her copy is taken back to the headquarters, our act of taking the files will be exposed, and there will be a lot of trouble later."

Jimmy: "Can't you just take it?"

Watson shook his head: "Caitlin Prado belongs to someone else, and is not with us. The bad news is that you may need to deal with it, no matter what method you use, take away or destroy the data."

Jimmy: "It's hard, I have absolutely no idea where she keeps the files, does she make multiple copies of the files."

Watson: "You come to think of a way. I need to rush back to Langley. There are still some things that need to be finished. The archivist in the fort also needs to communicate with him. If you can stop him It will be much easier to get down all the investigations on you."

Jimmy: "Okay, I'll figure it out."

Watson picked up the coffee cup, drank the coffee, took out his wallet and put a note under the coffee cup, picked up the briefcase and left.

Jimmy just sat there, sipping his coffee and thinking about what to do.

Jimmy turned his head and looked around, opened the file bag and took out the information to take a look. The action records behind were indeed empty. Caitlin did not lie. The previous cooperation with the DIA did treat him as an FBI agent.

The relationship between Caitlin and him is not very good now. He just threatened her once before. Although the matter has been dealt with now, he has not contacted Caitlin since then.It is difficult to know where the data is stored and to steal it.

Jimmy finished his coffee, put away his files, put on his hat and sunglasses, left the coffee shop, and returned to the FBI office.
