After throwing Reid out the door, Isaac stood in the hallway for a while, then walked to the dining table and ate his breakfast slowly.The electronic clock showed the local time, which was the unpleasant fact of the weekday.

People have jobs to fulfill their social value and realize their own meaning in life. Isaac stared at the empty dinner plate and began to think about what happened to him.

In that hellish place in Afghanistan—Isaac doesn't want to describe it that way, but it doesn't really make a good impression on him—all he has to do is silence, coolness, and restraint.As a main interrogator, half of the intelligence personnel may get completely different results with a little bias.So, despite the gloomy atmosphere over there, Isaac still meditated on his professionalism, and nothing went wrong. He even personally sent away two temporary colleagues who were emotionally broken.

Good people can't stay there for long.This is what one of them said to Isaac before leaving.

Isaac understands the meaning of this sentence. It is impossible for a country to gain a transcendent status in the world just by shouting slogans. The other side of light is darkness. It’s just that everyone has been brainwashed by light for too long. His strength is always a little bit weak, and he even feels like an executioner himself. Isaac will not take the initiative to bear the mistakes that are not his own, but this does not mean that it is really indifferent.In particular, among the people being interrogated, there are certainly those who are extravagant and lustful under the banner of a loud banner, but there are also those who are for pure faith. Isaac likes to think, but in the case of different positions, it is very dangerous to agree with the other party's point of view. In order not to be shaken, Isaac really worked hard.

He later learned that that guy was the head of propaganda in Al Qaeda, had received elite Western education, could speak multiple languages, was good at speech, was extremely charismatic and contagious in his gestures, and was proficient in psychology. After his arrest, he once He almost escaped, relying on his penetrating tongue to win the person in charge of interrogating him to his side.

If he succeeds, he may be another legend.

In short, this is a pit that Isaac almost stepped into. Although he didn't fall in, his feet were still covered with mud, and he had to add a protective cover for himself.

The effect...was too good, so that after Isaac returned to the familiar environment, he forgot how to take it off, and always subconsciously separated himself from the surroundings.Of course, he can behave in the same way, which is hard to detect, but he knows that he lacks enthusiasm.This is the worst, as if he suddenly lost the desire to connect with the outside world, staying in his own world, watching his surroundings with cold eyes.

Of course, this mentality is wrong. Isaac is also trying to adjust. He has studied how to eliminate his alienation and integrate into the group since he was a child. It’s just that he thought he had graduated successfully, but accidentally, he was slapped by the little goblin of fate. go back.

So Sad.

Fortunately, he just lost his enthusiasm and not his feelings. Reid probably sensed something, and used his own method to help him a lot. Although his reintegration plan was bumpy, it went smoothly.

The sports broadcast on TV has ended, and now it is playing a boring soap opera. The boat of a man and a woman is trampled and overturned, and the awkward atmosphere on the screen spreads beyond the screen.When Isaac came back to his senses, he was still struggling with boring emotional issues. He didn't turn the channel, but turned off the TV directly.

Suddenly, the world was quiet.

But this kind of cleanliness is not pleasing, at least, judging from Isaac's experience, if he stays any longer, the little progress made in the previous two days may be for naught.

He kind of regretted letting him go after confirming from Reid in the morning that he was more important than work.

--------------------------------

In the Hoover building, because of Isaac's absence, Walsh, who had previously competed with him, took his place temporarily.Their rescue trip to Afghanistan continued after Isaac left, but, with bin Laden's death in disarray, there was little progress until the news that Coverdale's grandmother died of a heart attack. The only wish of the old man before his death, they worked hard and finally got in touch with Coverdale.

However, that is a trap.

Walsh is still thankful that they invited a small team of soldiers to act with them out of caution, otherwise it would be difficult for him to be optimistic about the outcome.

That sneak attack made them see Coverdale's attitude clearly. A person who was determined to join al-Qaeda had no value of being rescued.So they went home and slapped a failure on the case report.

Then there were two more cases, one happened in India and the other happened in South Africa. Compared with the previous cases, these two cases were easy to make people cry. The whole process was very smooth, which made Walsh feel a little bit regretful while proud. I feel that I can't solve difficult cases beautifully when Issac is not around, and show my ability to my superiors, and I start to wonder why the case becomes easier when Issac is not around...

In the end, he could only classify this as a coincidence.

By the way, perhaps because they really couldn’t stand the shabby number of their team, their superior Jackson transferred another person to them. He didn’t go out with them, but he would talk about local traditions, Folklore provides popular science support.There are gossip that the man's original partner couldn't stand his desire to go out to work, so he kicked him to another team to increase the workload so that he would not be too whimsical.

Well, that guy's name is Lance Sweets, a genius.The name of the overwhelmed partner he harassed was Booth.

Walsh didn't know the story, but he was satisfied that Sweets was well-behaved and not worrying at all.

Wouldn't it be nice if FBI profilers were this cute? Walsh sighed like this more than once, especially when he thought of his boss.

But Walsh misses Isaac occasionally. For example, right now, he is worrying about a budget statement. Their team is supported by the bureau and equipped with luxurious equipment. This kind of comfort is something he has never enjoyed before. But again, not everyone can see it.For example, the budget department, they always feel that these equipment are a bit wasteful, and they always want to cut them down.In this regard, Walsh really has no experience in confrontation, but he knows that he must resist.

Especially according to legend, when Issac was still an ordinary member of the team, he fought fiercely with the people in the budget department, and directly replaced his then team leader Hotch to bargain, and he was always at a disadvantage.

Glancing at the calendar on the table, Walsh had to admit that business ability and leadership ability are two different things.But he couldn't make the phone call either, because that kind of emergency call obviously wouldn't budge on simple budgetary issues. Walsh counted the number of people who could fight side by side with him to share the pressure in his heart, and the more he counted, the more depressed he became.

Will, the first Pass, the guy who believes that silence is golden can't expect him to become eloquent one day; John, he is a very reliable person, loyal and brave, but he is not going to the battlefield, Pass; Sweets, he's so obedient, he hasn't lost his student spirit after working for so many years, besides, he's a part-time job here, he doesn't work outside the office at all, let alone the equipment, Pass.

At the end of the count, Walsh found that he had only one option left, Black.

"Shouldn't the budget be calculated every six months?" Black wondered when he knew about it, "Isn't it too early to calculate?"

"There are only these resources, but more departments have been formed..." Walsh has also learned some inside information, "There are higher-level departments above the people in charge of our budget. We are now in the early stage of fighting for it, and we can't just wait until the time comes." Work hard, then it will be too late."

So Walsh's strategy is that even if they have a surplus here, they still have to cry about being poor without explaining.

"Thank you." Black understood.

"It's nothing." Walsh clenched his fists to cheer himself up while driving, "I don't want that kid to tell me that I've lost all the resources he won in the early stage when he comes back." So, even if he is not good at this This kind of thing, he still gritted his teeth.

"I don't know when he will come back." Black also misses it a little bit, not because she was conquered by Issac's charisma, but because she found that even if Issac didn't fully consider some aspects in the beginning, it's better than being in a hurry now.It's not that Walsh is not good, but because of his status, he is only acting temporarily, and he will be restricted in many things.

Of course, one of the reasons is that the running-in period of our first cooperation has not yet passed.If it is an old team, everyone is used to performing their duties, even if there is one less person, they will quickly find an alternative.

But it's useless to say these now, they all vaguely guessed the task that Isaac was transferred away, and kept silent about it except paying more attention to current affairs news.

Walsh is more forceful, and Black is more academic. Together, the two of them didn't stand out in the budget department, but it's good news that there is no progress now. They just need to wait until the day someone comes back.

Walsh, who quickly threw off the psychological burden, thought so.

"I seldom come to Quantico, just looking at the appearance, it's hard to imagine that there is one of the most advanced laboratories in the United States." Black is still sighing, "Speaking of this, does Agent Garcia, who provides technical support for us, work here? ?”

Walsh nodded, seeing that it was still early, they decided to say hello to this detective who had never met but had helped a lot.

Garcia's office door was ajar, and Walsh checked the nameplate on the door and knocked.

"Come in." A voice sounded familiar to them, but their intuition would not appear here.

Walsh pushed open the door. The light in the room was slightly darker than in the corridor. There was no one in front of the computer facing the door. On the contrary, not far away, there was a person playing games on a laptop without looking up.

Perhaps because there was no response, the head finally lifted up.A pair of old-fashioned black-rimmed glasses covered half of his face, his slightly long hair was a little messy, his cheeks were bulging, and a thin white tube was exposed from the opposite corner of his mouth.

When I saw the two faces clearly, Isaac couldn't help but raised his glasses - he also worked hard to make a couple mirror with Reid - and the candy ball in his mouth was turned to the other side.

Both Walsh and Black have good eyes, so it's not surprising that the two names "Issac" and "Costa" are called out.

"Huh?" Isaac's voice was muffled by the sugar ball in his mouth.Although he is currently on vacation, although he feels that it is reasonable for him to need time to adjust his emotions, it is another matter to be caught by his subordinates in another office.

Walsh watched the guy who looked like his boss stand up, only to realize that he probably made a mistake.The young man was thin and not like that guy.It's easy for them to be fat when they are in the field, but thin?Everyone has already turned fat into muscle. I have only heard of fat burning, but who can burn muscle?

"I probably misunderstood the person." Walsh figured this out, "We want to visit Agent Garcia, is she there?"

Admit it? Isaac's eyes hidden behind the glasses rolled, "She has something to do when she goes out, do you have anything to do?"

"It's nothing, it's just that we have worked together and she helped a lot, so taking this opportunity to come to Quantico, we want to visit her." Walsh was a little disappointed, but after all, they had nothing important to do, and this kind of emotion also Just a flash.

"You can leave your name and I'll tell her when she comes back," Isaac said.

"Thank you." Walsh didn't think much, and directly reported his name, and took another look at Isaac, "You really look like someone I know."

"It's Isaac Costa." Isaac said seriously, "I'm his younger brother, Conan Costa, and I'm here as an intern now."
