Chapter 746 Acquaintance
Ruiz was really interested. When Jimmy was transferred to the public affairs office, he didn't look so happy.
This time Jimmy had to be quiet for a while due to some pressure. Transferring to the administrative department again obviously suppressed Jimmy too much. However, as long as he is in the field department, he will inevitably encounter accidents. So whether it is killing or handling cases, according to the Jimmy's abilities are guaranteed to cause big things.
It is really not easy to set up a separate position for him, or a high-level position like SSA. Although the New York office is the largest FBI branch in the United States, it is still a carrot and a pit. The more senior the position, the more people need to compete. Forcibly Arranging a group will inevitably lead to disputes with other people. Ruiz can't just do it casually. Whoever can rise to the top will have no one behind him.
It's okay on Jimmy's side. At least Dave has spoken and must ensure that Jimmy will not be taken away by the headquarters, so Ruiz is somewhat confident. Even if he does not have a suitable position, he can still communicate with others. After a while, he was transferred to other supervisors, and finally he remembered this group that was ignored by everyone.
No one really cares about this group, because the New York office is really big and has a lot of people. Because it is also responsible for the United Nations region and international cooperation, there are many various groups in the New York office. The so-called support group is actually basically useless, because most of them Let their respective teams handle it. Even if they can't handle it, they will contact other teams to assist. Except for emergency support, which will be notified in rare cases, there will basically be no tasks. This is why the homicide team has The team with fewer cases will take charge of it.
Making this team independent and letting Jimmy come just meets the requirements of all parties. It needs a senior position. Jimmy needs to do less tasks and be less in the limelight. The key is not to cause big things. Just treat it as spending money to support a person who can't be used temporarily. As super thugs, this cost waste is still acceptable to them. They will have to wait until Jimmy is older, more mature and able to integrate with everyone before he can continue to take charge.
They really don't worry about Jimmy being able to do this. As long as they give him a chance, he can find absolutely tiny opportunities to make contributions that will shock everyone. For the top, no one doubts Jimmy's ability.
Ruiz thought for a while and then added: "Don't worry, you only need to stay safely for a year or two, which is not a long time."
Jimmy smiled bitterly while drinking and shook his head: "It's not like I can stay here for a year or two. It's like raising me like a waste."
Ruiz: "This is not bad. You can get paid easily without having to work. It is a dream job for many people, and you can easily get such treatment."
Ruiz watched Jimmy leave and close the door, and couldn't help but shook his head.
Ruiz: "I can't control this. You can ask Dunn."
Ruiz: "If you want to keep an eye on them, consider putting your desk in the homicide office."
Just because Jimmy left with a smile does not mean that he is so willing to accept this arrangement, but there is no way. In this system, particularly outstanding people must bear some extra pressure, and he himself is also the one who takes on the pressure.
It’s a new year and a new position. The results have been known in advance. Jimmy has now fully accepted Ruiz’s arrangement.
Since coming to the FBI, he has worked in many teams and departments. Every time he changes places, he has to tidy up his desk. Fortunately, he doesn't have many things. Two cardboard boxes are enough.
Ruiz: "One last thing, the Seventeenth matter is over, don't worry."
Jimmy: "Come on, how can the new team leader carry out his work like that? Give me an independent office, a smaller one is fine. I think this is okay?"
Jimmy: "Okay, I'll ask when I get back. Is there anything else?"
Jimmy and Ruiz clinked their glasses: "This is the final decision.",
Time passed quickly, and the Christmas vacation ended quickly. Jimmy also checked the three guns on his body in front of the mirror, then touched the dagger on his waist, arranged his suit and tie in front of the mirror, and took the long windbreaker from the side. I put it on, made sure there was nothing wrong, and left home.
Jimmy is really unhappy. He is quite conscientious in the FBI and has basically never made any big mistakes. It is not his problem that he is too capable. It can only be said that the others are a little bit worse, which makes him so dazzling. As a result It's just because I'm so capable that I have to stay quiet for two years to relax, which is really annoying.
The reason why he didn't notify Jimmy in advance was because he was worried that he wouldn't be able to accept it. He originally planned to have a good talk with Jimmy after Christmas, but who knew Jimmy actually called him in advance.
Jimmy hung up his windbreaker and started clearing the table. How many times had this been done? I can’t even count them.
When I opened the door, there were noisy sounds outside. The sound insulation effect of this small room was really great.
When they arrived at the homicide office, Jimmy was the first to arrive. He took a look at the table first. Even though he hadn't been here for so long, his table and the things on it still looked very clean. Apparently, Mark and Julia would also do it when they were fine. Tidying up the table for myself, it was a great time to have a little brother, but it's a pity that it will be gone soon.
He can accept Ruiz's reasons. They still look at Jimmy's file and know that he is 31 years old. In fact, he is only 27 years old. In other words, if everything goes well, there may be an assistant chief of detectives in New York who is a little over 30 years old. There will even be detective supervisors under the age of 40, which is so scary.
Jimmy stood up directly, smiled and waved his hands: "That's your business, it has nothing to do with me. You can do whatever you want, I'm going home."
Jimmy is helpless when encountering such a mess. He is no longer a county police officer, nor a CIA agent. If he leaves the FBI now, what else can he do? Let your father-in-law arrange to join the NYPD to handle cases all day? Others are heading for higher ground, is he going to go back from being a federal agent to becoming a city police officer?
Jimmy left the bar directly with a look of displeasure on his face. He was no longer in the mood to chat with Woody, so he just walked home. However, he adjusted his mood before entering and did not bring his troubles to Nia.
Ruiz raised the glass, and then drank half a glass of whiskey in one gulp. Seeing Ruiz's actions, Jimmy knew that this was the final decision. He also drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, "Okay, look. I can only accept it now, and hope Mark and Julia won’t miss me too much.”
In fact, most supervisors are middle-aged people over 4 or 50 years old. They have rich experience and a wide network of connections, and can deal with various accidents and administrative matters. It is not easy for young people to take this position, but If Jimmy follows the current pattern of action, there will soon be an embarrassing situation in the New York office. The agent has achieved so much that they will not be able to provide him with promotion space and rewards.
The main ones are my various honors and photo frames, as well as the spare bullets in the drawer. As for the information, there are relatively few, and most of them are the bureau's case information or various copies. These will be shredded directly. Just crush them at the machine, or choose and give them to Mark or Julia.
Before she finished cleaning up, Julia had already opened the door and came in, "Yo, Yang, good morning...what happened?"
Julia laughed happily when she saw Jimmy, but then she saw that he was clearing things on the table. The cardboard box next to him was so familiar that she couldn't help raising her voice and asked.
Jimmy smiled and replied: "Good morning, Julia, how was your Christmas?" Julia came to Jimmy's table: "My family and I went on a two-day vacation, why are you packing? What happened? ?”
Jimmy: "Oh, just a little thing. I may change my office, but I haven't announced it yet. I'll just do it myself. You can get busy first. Don't worry, it's a good thing."
Julia originally wanted to help, but Jimmy waved his hand and just cleaned up by himself. Julia looked surprised. Jimmy had been out for more than two months, why was he suddenly transferred?
Returning to her seat, she put her mobile phone on the table. Instead of making a call, she sent a text message directly to Mark. Although Jimmy knew what she had done, she did not explain further. They would just wait until Mark arrived to talk about it together. , maybe Ruiz will have already announced it when he comes.
The transfer does not mean that he will move out immediately after announcing it. Jimmy is just organizing it in advance. In fact, he should sit in this position for at least a few days to facilitate the handover. Of course, if Ruiz is particularly anxious, he can change offices at any time. , as long as the replacement personnel comes over.
The facts were almost as Jimmy guessed. Ruiz came over soon. Jimmy was still talking to Mark and Julia, but when he saw the real owner coming, he stopped talking.
Ruiz didn't say much, he just announced Jimmy's transfer order and promotion news, and then said that someone would be transferred over later, and Jimmy could move to a new office after the handover.
Of course, being promoted to the SSA is something worth celebrating. Jimmy accepted the order, then asked for afternoon tea, and then Ruiz left the homicide office. It was just a routine, just go through the process, and Jimmy accepted it with a smile.
The handover time is expected to be a week, and he will be transferred to another place. Ruiz still doesn't know who will come over, but it has only been in the past two days, and there should be news soon.
As Jimmy said, promotion is a good thing. Even if you are transferred to a non-powerful team, the level is not fake, so I was in a good mood when I invited them for afternoon tea, and it was not just for their office, but also for the nearby white-collar team and administrative staff. department.
The reason why he brought the administrative department with him was because Jimmy went to Tim Dunn's office not long after Ruiz left and worked hard to get an independent office. He no longer had to share the lobby partition with others, even if This so-called new office was actually a room they used as a storage room.
This is not easy. You must know that Jimmy used to have an independent office or was in the public affairs office. It was just a glass room separated in the corner of the big office. Now this is a serious independent room, and you can even hang a sign. It is already great. Of course, the disadvantage is that there are no windows, but it is not a big problem. As for the things originally stored inside, there will be several days left, enough for Tim Dunn to find a way to move them out.
But what Jimmy didn't expect was that he received an unexpected phone call that night, "Good evening, Director Lambert. Long time no see, how are you doing lately?"
Lambert is the agent in charge of Dallas. Jimmy has worked for him several times when he went to Dallas. Moreover, he was only the assistant agent director like Hughes at the beginning. Last year, he was promoted to agent director of the Dallas office. Jimmy even called when he knew the news.
Lambert said in a relaxed tone: "Hi, Jimmy, long time no see. When are you coming to Dallas to visit me?"
Jimmy laughed and laughed: "The main reason is that I was too busy some time ago and have been on a business trip. I will visit you when I get back on vacation. What's the matter?"
Lambert: "Just a small thing. Ray will take up his post in your Manhattan office in two days. Help me take care of him."
Jimmy: "Really? That's great. Don't worry, we are old acquaintances. There will be no problem."
Lambert: "OK, he will contact you later, that's it, come to Dallas when you have time."
Jimmy: "I will, bye, Director Lambert."
Jimmy smiled and hung up the phone, the smile on his face slowly fading.
Why did Lambert call specifically?
Ray Hope was the detective who cooperated with Jimmy when he went to Dallas. They worked on a case together. Ray was seriously injured and was hospitalized. However, it was not that he lacked ability, it was just unlucky. He was able to prosper in Dallas. Shuiqi's agent couldn't be a bastard.
It's certainly not a problem for him to take care of his new acquaintances in New York, but is it a bit too much for Lambert to blatantly support his former subordinates like this?
No, it has something to do with him. After Lei comes over, he will probably take over the homicide department.
Jimmy thought of the key point. Asking him to take care of himself couldn't just be about taking care of his life. It must be related to work. If it was another department, it would be difficult even if he wanted to intervene. It must be to take over his position. If he wanted to get started quickly, he would definitely have to talk to him. If you have a good relationship with your previous subordinates, you will be the key person here.
Jimmy shook his head with a wry smile, looked at the time, and dialed Lei's number directly, "Thunder, congratulations."
Ray: "Hey, Jimmy, I was going to call you tomorrow. I just got the news."
Jimmy: "Have you confirmed the location?"
Lei: "Well, it is planned to be in charge of the homicide team. The official notification should be in the next two days."
Jimmy: "Very good. I will introduce my future colleagues to you when you come over. I believe you will have a great time working together. They are all good boys."
Ray: "Thanks, Jimmy."
Jimmy: "Okay, let's wait until you come. Good night."
