North American Gunslinger Detective

Chapter 534 Weird circle of friends
Winston had brought Jimmy up for tea to chat, to make sure what was going on with him being on the news, and that there was nothing Jimmy needed to deal with.

In fact, it was related to Winston's business. As a killer group, they were naturally in the dark. Jimmy was Winston's friend, not someone from the Intercontinental Hotel or the High Table. Relatively speaking, they were relatively safe.

If Jimmy really becomes a public figure in the FBI in the future, then Winston can't let him participate in some shady missions. It is easy to expose their relationship, and the ending will be more troublesome.

Jimmy didn't think that this might affect Winston. After all, he has never been a public figure. Although he has handled many cases, for the purpose of protection, the relevant mission introduction and the public video did not explain. his identity.

He chatted with Winston for a while, drank some tea, got up and left.Charon had been standing by the side while they were chatting without making any sound. Now when Jimmy got up, he led Jimmy downstairs and sent him away at the door.

After watching Jimmy get in the car and leave, Charon returned to Winston's room, "Sir, will Mr. Yang become our trouble?"

Winston: "Why do you think so? He will not be our trouble, he will become our friend and the cornerstone of our development."

Charon: "I don't quite understand."

Winston: "Charon, I have been in charge of the InterContinental New York for 40 to [-] years, no matter what others think, this place belongs to the high table, but in the end, this place belongs to me.

Every Intercontinental Hotel is expanding its sphere of influence and heritage, not just us, so even for self-protection, we need enough experts to balance the pressure from all parties.

We are different from the Twelve High Tables. They have families and industries that provide enough manpower and funds to expand their sphere of influence, while we can only recruit some second-rate and third-rate figures to fill the facade.

The legendary killers here are all from various families, so the most important thing for us is to make friends, even if we can't recruit them, at least we must become friends, avoid becoming enemies under certain circumstances, and further become our help.

Sitting in this position, what needs to be considered is not ourselves, but this big family, and all the people who may become friends need us to work hard to maintain the relationship. "

Charon: "Like Mr. Wilkey?"

Winston: "Yes, he is from Trasov, but this does not prevent us from being friends."

Charon: "I see. Thank you, sir."

Winston: "Arranging someone to go to his bar to apply for a job is a surprise we prepared for our children. With our people around, it should be able to guarantee the safety of his bar."

Charon: "OK, I'll make arrangements now."

-

Jimmy didn't know what Winston and Charon were thinking. The most important thing in his mind was the engagement ceremony in the near future and who he was going to send the invitation to.

After returning to the apartment, Jimmy nestled in the study and began to sort out the people he had known in the past few years, who could send invitations, and who would come.

In fact, most of the people he has known over the years are related to work. As for those people he knows not related to work, there are not many people who can publicly show up on such occasions.

Writing and drawing on paper, they finally made a list, and when Nia came back from home, they could choose the style of the invitation and fill in the content.

-

Jimmy and Nia's engagement ceremony is finally coming. Although well-known hotels and restaurants have all kinds of reservations, the big man Kevin Miller has successfully settled it. I have to say that the contacts of NYPD's senior management are really good.

The person Winston mentioned also came to New York before, an Italian bald designer Angelo, and Jimmy used to wear handmade suits, but he was still surprised when he saw what Angelo brought in the hotel.

The designer Angelo didn't come empty-handed this time, but brought three assistants and four big boxes next to him.Two of them contain various fabrics and ready-made suit plate parts, and the other two are several wedding dress styles. Of course, they are all parts that are easy to disassemble and assemble, which is convenient for people of various shapes to try on.

After he measured the size for Jimmy, his assistant directly selected the appropriate plate parts for simple sewing, and determined the style of the suit for Jimmy. It is required to adjust the size of the chest and underarms so that the deformation of the suit will not affect the look when he matches the weapon.

Since it was a gift from Winston, Jimmy was not polite. In addition to customizing the suits for the engagement ceremony, he also ordered a few extra daily suits. When it comes to the real thing, there are even some American power suit styles in it.

Designer Angelo not only knows how to make suits, Nia’s wedding dress is also made by him. Nia is more traditional, choosing the most commonly used white wedding dress with A-line skirt, with a slim upper body and an A-shaped hem. , with Nia's good figure maintained by fitness all the year round, with beautiful curves, but not too exaggerated.

In line with the idea of ​​making the best use of everything, Jimmy also asked Angelo to help Nia make two women's suits for daily social occasions. She usually wears casual clothes at the police station, and some special occasions still require suits.

Angelo was really professional and patient, and frankly, if one of Jimmy's clients had been tossing around like him and Nia, he would have blown up.

Angelo: "OK, Mr. Yang, Ms. Miller, we need about a week to complete your order urgently, please come back next week to confirm."

Jimmy reached out to shake hands with Angelo to thank him, then took Nia and Winston to say goodbye, and left the Intercontinental Hotel.

On the day of the engagement ceremony, Jimmy was still a little hesitant, wondering how many people would be able to come for his invitation. After all, many people were big bosses, so it was normal for them not to come.

In the afternoon, some people had already arrived in the banquet hall of the hotel. Most of the people who arrived in front were relatives and friends of Nia, as well as friends of his father Kevin Miller.

On Jimmy's side, only his colleague Kag from the county police and a few colleagues from the FBI came over ahead of time. Peter, Ruiz, Ryan, and Mahone are still busy, so they won't be here for the time being.

Hughes and Mrs. Mason will arrive later, this is determined in advance, but Deputy Director Dave will not come, but he said that he will bring his wife to attend Jimmy's wedding ceremony.

James came over early and was chatting with Kevin and the others, but Tom wouldn't show up. He had contacted Jimmy. Although his identity was fine now, he was still not used to appearing in public.

Looking at his watch, Jimmy finally saw his friend from afar, John Butler of the USSS, who called him back when he received Jimmy's invitation to confirm the time.

After chatting with him for a few words, Jimmy introduced Peter and the others, they are all colleagues, and they should have a common language.

When they came to the welcome desk, Sam pushed Mrs. Waltz to arrive, but it was not convenient for them to sign in and leave their names, so Jimmy would come to welcome them in.

Jimmy bent down and hugged Mrs. Waltz in the wheelchair, "Grandma Waltz, thank you for attending my engagement ceremony. Sam, thank you."

Jimmy took the wheelchair and pushed Mrs. Waltz to Kevin and the others: "Kevin, this is my grandfather's best friend, Grandma Waltz. Grandma Waltz, this is my father-in-law Kevin Miller."

Kevin looked at Jimmy in surprise. When Jimmy sent the invitation before, he didn't explain in detail the identity of the person he was going to invite. He really didn't know that someone with this relationship would come: "Aunt Waltz, thank you for coming Attending Jimmy and Nia's engagement."

Mrs. Waltz: "Jimmy is a good boy. His family is gone. Of course I can't miss his big day."

A waiter came from behind and said something in Jimmy's ear. He motioned for Sam to pick up the wheelchair, "Grandma Waltz, Kevin, I'm sorry, I'll pick someone up."

Noah Watson was standing next to the welcome desk. Seeing Jimmy coming out, he stepped forward and shook hands with Jimmy: "Congratulations, Jimmy. I'm here on behalf of Deputy Director Thomas."

Jimmy smiled and shook hands with him: "Thank you, I thought you wouldn't come over. Please, let's talk inside."

Watson nodded, and walked in with Jimmy, "Thomas can't come here for the time being, and his identity is not suitable for public appearance, I hope you can understand."

Jimmy: "Understandable, oh, by the way, Mrs. Waltz is also here, and she has just arrived."

Watson: "Then I'm going to say hello."

Jimmy brought Watson to Mrs. Waltz, bent down and asked softly, "Grandma Waltz, Deputy Director Thomas Nolan can't come here. He arranged for Watson to come over. Do you want to see him?"

Mrs. Waltz turned her head to look at Watson. Watson immediately walked over and shook hands with Mrs. Waltz: "Mrs. Waltz, I'm sorry, Deputy Director Nolan can't come here for some reason."

Mrs. Waltz patted his hand: "It's fine if you can come, let's go aside and chat."

Watson took the wheelchair handle from Sam and pushed Mrs. Waltz aside.

Jimmy smiled and looked at the audience. It seemed that almost all the people on his side had come. Many people had called him before for various reasons, but they would not come this time, including Lambert from the Dallas office, Xiao Harden from the Stone City office, Thorsten from the DEA, etc.

Looking at the time, it was almost time for the master of ceremonies to announce the start of the ceremony. Jimmy walked to the backstage, but suddenly he was stopped again, and came to the reception desk, where a man in military uniform stood.

Jimmy walked over with a smile: "I'm Jimmy Young, may I ask who you are?"

The soldier took off his hat and put it on his left hand, stretched out his right hand and shook hands with Jimmy, "I am David Clinton, from DIA. Mr. Andrew originally planned to come today, but because of an emergency, he stayed in Washington DC for the time being, so I came here to say sorry on his behalf."

Jimmy: "Oh, I remember you, when you were in the cabin, you were in the living room."

David smiled and nodded: "Yes, I was indeed there that day."

Jimmy: "Come in, let me introduce you to some people."

"Jimmy." Jimmy was about to take David in when he heard someone calling him. He turned his head and looked over, "Katelyn, thank you for coming to my engagement ceremony."

Caitlin: "I'm not late."

Jimmy: "Of course not, please come in."

Jimmy took David and Caitlin into the banquet hall, introduced David to Mrs. Waltz, introduced Caitlin to Watson, and left after arranging everyone.

The master of ceremonies also confirmed with Kevin and Jimmy that all the personnel had arrived, and the ceremony began.The engagement ceremony is much simpler than the wedding ceremony. The host introduced Jimmy and Nia and gave them a speech to bless them.

Witnessed by relatives and friends, Jimmy and Nia exchanged engagement rings and read oaths. The simple engagement ceremony ended with everyone's blessing.

After that, Jimmy and Nia, accompanied by Kevin and James, got to know each other with the guests who came to the engagement ceremony, and then Kevin and James were surprised by the person introduced by Jimmy.

Noah Watson, the former director of the New York Anti-Terrorism Agency, Caitlin Prado, the current director, David Clinton of the DIA Defense Intelligence Agency, and John Butler of the USSS Secret Service. These four have clear departments, plus the FBI. People, good guy, Jimmy has a wide range of relatives and friends.

When the ceremony was over and the guests left, Kevin and the others could finally breathe a sigh of relief. He stopped Jimmy: "Jimmy, tell me about the people who came today, what's going on?"

Jimmy blinked and was puzzled: "Kevin, what's the matter?" (Many people in the United States will ask to be called by name, not necessarily dad, father-in-law, Jimmy will call Kevin according to the request, even if they are married after.)
Kevin: "People who came in today, you seem to have friends all over the establishment."

Jimmy: "Oh, they're my mother and grandfather's relationship, and I'm talking mostly people that some agencies have worked with."

Kevin: "You haven't talked about your family's situation, is it convenient now?"

Jimmy thought for a while, looked at the banquet hall of the hotel, "Change the time and place, and I'll let you know."

Kevin nodded: "Let's live in our house today."

-

In the study of Nia's house, Jimmy, Kevin and Nia are sitting in the study. Nia pours wine for them. Kevin: "Okay, I think it's time to talk about it now."

Jimmy pulled Nia, and Nia sat on the armrest of his sofa, leaning against Jimmy, Jimmy took a sip of wine and said: "OK, I hope you can keep it a secret, because I'm not sure if you can Public. OK?"

Kevin and Nia nodded, and Jimmy said: "My mother was a senior director of the CIA, who was in charge of intelligence stations in Europe and Asia, and died of cancer ten years ago.

My grandfather is the former deputy director of the DIA. I don’t know his situation. In fact, I only knew his identity some time ago. The DIA David Clinton who came today represents a friend of my grandfather in the DIA.

Mrs. Waltz who came here today is the former deputy director of the CIA. She is also a friend of my grandfather, and she is also the one who told me about my life experience, which has been confirmed by some people.Noah Watson, the former head of the Counter Terrorism Bureau, represented my mother's colleague, a deputy director of the CIA.

Of course, Caitlin Prado, the current head of the Counter Terrorism Agency, is my own friend. "

When Jimmy was talking, Nia's body was already a little stiff, and she stopped with a wine glass in her hand to her mouth. Kevin also looked a little surprised, and stared at Jimmy with wide eyes.

After a while, Kevin asked, "What about you? What about your identity?"

Jimmy: "Me? My identity is very simple. I'm just an ordinary senior FBI agent. I don't have a second identity. It's just because of various complicated relationships. I have cooperated before, and I am also very surprised that their director Caitlin can come here today, it was just an invitation from friendship before."

Kevin: "Do you... have any business dealings with them? In various senses."

Jimmy: "I understand what you mean, don't worry, I understand my identity, I am just a small agent of the FBI, and they are friends at best."

Nia looked down at Jimmy: "We've known each other for so many years, and you never told me."

Jimmy shrugged: "Because I couldn't say it before. Many things need to be kept secret. Now that we are a family, there are naturally some things that you need to know."

Kevin and Nia asked about some other people, and they were all okay. The people from the Pulaski County Sheriff's Department and the FBI were Jimmy's former and current colleagues, and they were nothing special. The background can be said, relatively easy to explain.

Kevin and the others were a little too surprised by Jimmy's network, but fortunately, Kevin knew that there were some things that he should not know and intervene in, so he basically just asked the people who came to ask, and then stopped asking. No insight at all.

However, Kevin was still surprised by the relationship Jimmy described. As an ordinary FBI agent, he was able to invite these people for an engagement ceremony. Will more people come to the wedding ceremony later?Will there be people from new institutions or forces that have not appeared today?
This is Manhattan, New York, the most important stronghold of NYPD. He is now the deputy director, and there is a high probability that he will take over as the next or next director. Of course, the premise is to have a good relationship with the mayor.With such a wide relationship on Jimmy's side, it seems that under certain circumstances, it may be possible to take advantage of it.

No matter what Kevin thinks, Jimmy and Nia left the study, and watched TV and chatted with Nia's mother in the living room. Neither of them will return to their apartment today, and they will stay here. Of course, this is the first time for Jimmy Overnight in Nia's room.

Not their own apartment, of course Jimmy and Nia will be very careful to avoid any embarrassing situations.
