North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 532 Done
Returning to the FBI office with the CIA documents, Jimmy put the files in his bag, and he could take them home after get off work. As for whether to destroy them now or wait for another file to be destroyed together, this needs to be carefully considered.

Although Watson didn't mention the details, Jimmy probably guessed it.

Watson had told him about the authenticity of the data before, so from the original file in his hand, it can be seen that Thomas Watson, a pair of senior CIA executives, must have adopted the most brutal plan, directly extracting Jimmy's The original file, there is no file in the CIA archives, and Jimmy naturally broke away from the CIA.

Although I don't know why they were allowed to do this, it is probably because of Mrs. Waltz's face.

The copy on Caitlin's side is the biggest loophole now, because that copy is also in the format of a standard CIA file. If she takes that file back to check, someone will naturally find that the data in the archive room is lost based on that copy. It was found out that the people who handled it were Thomas and Watson.

It seems that the risk is a bit high to bring in two senior managers for their own affairs, but I believe that Thomas and the others must be capable enough to prevent this kind of thing, the question is how much it will cost.

It is most appropriate not to trigger this risk, that is, the copy in Caitlin's hand. As long as there is no copy, her verbal statement will naturally not be as reliable as the deputy director.

Stealing it out is of course the best, but if you don't know the location of the file, and stealing directly from the Anti-Terrorist Bureau, it seems that your risk is higher.

Jimmy just sat in the office and considered the plan. He just has some special abilities, not a professional agent. He doesn't know the skills of infiltrating and unlocking at all.

Before, I thought about whether it is possible to observe the structure inside the safe with my mind to try to determine the position of the lock and whether the password is correct, but he tried it with his own safe at home, and now he has no way to identify the exact position of the parts. The point is that there are too many gears in the safe, and when those gears are intertwined and linked together, he can only see the outermost outline, not the details.

No way, Jimmy can only choose the most stupid way, let's face it.

Looking at the time, he couldn't make it for lunch, so he picked up the phone and called Caitlin, "Director Caitlin."

Caitlin was really a little confused when she received Jimmy's call. It seems that she has nothing to deal with recently, right? "Jimmy, what's the matter?"

Jimmy: "I wonder if you're in New York?"

Caitlin: "Yes."

Jimmy: "Do you have time tonight? Please let me treat you to dinner."

Caitlin was silent for a while: "Okay."

Jimmy: "I'll send you the address later."

Jimmy chose an Italian restaurant with an interesting name, La Dolce Vita. Fortunately, Jimmy was lucky, and it was surprising that there was still a table when he called to make a reservation.High-end restaurants in Manhattan usually require reservations in advance, and he just wanted to see if he was lucky.

Send the restaurant name, address and appointment time, then pick up the mobile phone and call Nia, telling her that she has something to do at night and will be home late.After that, I also called James. I was originally scheduled to meet and talk tonight, but now it seems that it should be postponed a little bit.

In the restaurant, Jimmy came to the restaurant ahead of time. The restaurant is on the top floor of a high-rise building, and the night view of Manhattan lights is outside the window. He has been in Manhattan for several years, and he rarely has the opportunity to see the night scene of Manhattan from high-rise buildings.

Manhattan at night is filled with a mysterious and bright atmosphere, eye-catching neon signboards, flashing lights of skyscrapers, forming a beautiful interlacing of light and shadow in the dark night.

The high-rise buildings in Manhattan are very unique in shape. The strange-shaped buildings are staggered and adjacent to each other. The gorgeous lights on the top of the buildings are interlaced with each other, illuminating the whole city, as if countless stars descended on the earth.

Standing on a high-rise and looking at the city and the ground, you can really feel the charm and vitality of urban buildings. It is no wonder that many photographers like to shoot night scenes of city lights.

At the appointed time, Caitlin just came to the restaurant and was asking the waiter. Jimmy got up and waved, Caitlin turned and walked over.

Caitlin sat down and put her bag behind her, "What do you want me to do?"

Jimmy: "Let's eat first. I wanted to eat at this restaurant a long time ago, and it's highly rated."

Caitlin looked at Jimmy's smiling face, and it didn't seem like there was anything serious about it. There was something hidden in her heart, and she didn't like it.

Italian cuisine is also widely regarded as one of the world's famous dishes, with rich tastes and diverse choices, from traditional pasta to seafood, meat and various cheeses and delicious desserts, all showing unique taste and cooking skills .

The starter of today's meal is a cold dish platter of Italian ham with pickled vegetables and garlic bread. The main course is sweet seafood pasta, pan-fried steak with boiled vegetables, all taste good.The paired red wine is a product of a winery in Barolo, Piedmont, and of course it is also the Italian local red wine that the restaurant strongly recommends.

Jimmy ate something before he spoke about his goal: "Caitlin, I need something."

Caitlin was cutting the steak, and then she showed a little smile, "It's finally time, tell me, what do you want?"

Jimmy took a fork and inserted a small piece of steak into his mouth, chewed a few mouthfuls and swallowed, "My file."

The knife and fork in Caitlin's hand stopped on the plate, and the smile on her face disappeared, "What do you mean?"

Jimmy: "The file you copied from Langley, I need that file." After speaking, Jimmy took a sip from his glass and looked at Caitlin.

Caitlin frowned at Jimmy, waited a few seconds and asked, "Why?"

Jimmy: "The reason I can't say now, I need the file in your hand."

Caitlin put down the knife and fork in her hand, picked up the napkin and wiped her mouth, then put down the napkin and looked at Jimmy: "Is a copy okay?"

Jimmy: "No photocopies, no backups, I need all the files in your hands."

Caitlin also picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the red wine. She just looked at Jimmy like this, thinking crazily what Jimmy was going to do in her mind.

After thinking for a long time, Caitlin said, "You must give me a reason."

Jimmy: "I'll tell you later, not for now. You know me, I promise to do it."

Caitlin nodded, "I can give it to you, give me some time."

Jimmy: "It should be soon, if all goes well."

Caitlin: "Okay." She picked up the knife and fork again and continued with her dinner.

A final dessert, tiramisu, ended the meal, and Jimmy and Caitlin left the restaurant.Jimmy drove behind Caitlin to the Anti-Terrorist Bureau. Caitlin took Jimmy through the security check and returned to her office. She just covered up her password to open the safe, and then took out a file bag and handed it to Jimmy.

Jimmy opened it and took a look. It was indeed a copy of the file he saw in Caitlin's office. "There is nothing else?"

Caitlin directly pointed to the outside of the office, motioning for him to leave immediately. Jimmy nodded, thanked him, put the file in his bag, and left the Anti-Terrorist Bureau to go home.

When he came to the study room, Jimmy put together the original file and Caitlin's photocopy, checked it carefully, and confirmed that they were consistent, and then let go of his hanging heart.

Sure enough, stealing information is unreliable, and it is better to communicate directly. Isn't this safer than him sneaking into the Anti-Terrorist Bureau?
Jimmy picked up the phone and called Watson, "Watson, good news, I got it."

Watson: "Are you sure? Is there anything missing?"

Jimmy: "Sure it's the same, there should be nothing else."

Watson: "OK, then it's fine, destroy it. Congratulations, live a good life, kid."

Jimmy: "Thank you, and thank them for me."

Jimmy hung up the phone, put the two files in his bag, got up and left the apartment, and drove to the Hudson River.He has been in Manhattan for a long time, he is very familiar with it, and easily found a hidden corner without surveillance.There are plants on the bank here, and there are also shelters on the river side. As long as you squat down, you can't see what he is doing in other places.

He took out the files, took out the lighter, lit them one by one, and piled them in the corner to watch them burn bit by bit.This is another identity of Jimmy, with the flames dancing, he disappeared into this world little by little, and there is no CIA agent Jimmy Young anymore.

When the flames were all gone, he took a branch and poked it to make sure that there was no unburned part underneath.He let out a long sigh of relief, took out a bottle of mineral water prepared in advance in his bag, poured it on the paper ashes in the corner, put on his gloves, grabbed the paper ashes, and threw them into the Hudson River.

After taking off the gloves and throwing them into the river, Jimmy took the bag and left. He will only have one identity in the future, FBI senior agent Jimmy Yang.

Jimmy drove to Hughes' house and looked through the wall at the two people in the house, who were in the living room.He got off the station and called Hughes outside the house, "Hughes, I'm outside your house."

Jimmy watched a person pick up the phone, and Hughes' voice came: "Now? I'll come out."

Jimmy watched the person with the phone in the house get up, opened the door and looked outside, and Hughes came to him after seeing Jimmy, "What's the matter?"

Jimmy said softly, "I got it done."

Hughes looked at Jimmy, frowning.Jimmy took out the cigarette and lighter, and handed one to Hughes, but Hughes waved his hands away, Jimmy picked up one himself, lit the cigarette, flicked the lighter and put it in his pocket.

Hughes figured out what Jimmy meant when he said it was done, but he still had to check: "Are you sure?"

Jimmy nodded: "OK, it's been dealt with."

Hughes: "Will there be sequelae?"

Jimmy smiled slightly: "It should be gone, this time it was handled very cleanly."

A smile appeared on Hughes' face, he turned around and patted Jimmy's arm, "I see, take a good rest over there for a while."

After he was about to turn around and go back to the house, Jimmy stopped him: "James has arrived in New York. He will talk to Nia's family about our engagement ceremony for me. Do you want to meet him?"

Hughes turned his head to look at Jimmy, and Jimmy also looked at him. Hughes smiled and said, "I'll wait for your invitation." After he finished speaking, he continued to walk back to the house. The car went back to the apartment.

At last everything was settled, Jimmy was finally relieved, he parked the car in the parking lot and walked to the bar.

When he came to the bar, he didn't see Woody. Jimmy was still surprised and called the bartender, "Jack, isn't Woody here today?"

Bartender Jack: "Boss, Woody didn't feel well yesterday and has been resting at home for two days."

Jimmy: "What's wrong? Is it better now?"

Jack: "I just called him once yesterday, but I haven't asked him today."

Jimmy: "Okay, I see. Give me a drink and I'll go find Isaac."

Jack nodded and poured Jimmy a glass of Glenlivet, and Jimmy took a sip as he walked to the back office.

The manager Diego Isaac is also in the office, but he is sitting on the sofa, and there is a middle-aged beautiful woman sitting opposite, and the two are chatting.

Jimmy knocked on the door twice, making sure that the people inside heard it, and then he twisted the handle to open the door, "Isaac."

Isaac stood up and called respectfully, "Boss, you are here. This is Mrs. MacDonald."

The lady on the opposite side also stood up, and Jimmy came over and shook hands with her: "Hi, Mrs. MacDonald. Isaac, you continue to talk, I'll go outside and have a look."

Isaac: "Wait a minute, Boss, Mrs. MacDonald is here to rent our bar for a few days and hold two events."

Jimmy nodded and patted his arm: "It's up to you to decide, Isaac, you are the manager. That's it."

Isaac: "Okay, boss."

Isaac sent Jimmy out, and then went back to continue chatting. Jimmy just thought that the people inside were just his friends, so he went straight into the office. Since it was about business, there was no need for him to be there.

He is usually not in the bar, and Isaac handles it. If he is at the scene, Isaac can't directly decide many things, and he has to ask him for instructions, which will interfere with his business.

Although Jimmy has never done business, he still understands the twists and turns here, so it's better to be a boss who doesn't work honestly.

He called Woody, and Woody answered the phone very quickly. He didn't have any major health problems, mainly because he accidentally contracted the flu. He was a little groggy and had a fever. He needed to rest at home for a while.

Jimmy comforts Woody, then returns to the lobby to relax and take a rest.After solving the identity problem, Jimmy felt a lot more relaxed. Hughes’ previous words and expressions also showed that he had let go of the problems with Jimmy’s double-faced person, so that he should have no problem returning to the field department in the future. Hughes left during the period, and he should not disclose Jimmy's identity to his successor.

After relaxing and drinking, Jimmy went back to the apartment and finally had a good night's sleep.
