North American Gunslinger Detective
Chapter 649 Invitation
The case closing process is still very long. After all, the missing artworks in the case have not been completely found yet, but all the robbers involved in the robbery have been caught or killed, so it can be considered completed. The only thing left is to release the stolen goods information. If If someone discovers it later, it can be used as evidence to add to it.
This has nothing to do with Jimmy. He met with Kevin and after they agreed on the matter, they paid for expedited customization of the invitations. Jimmy and Nia spent a lot of time writing the invitation content according to the previously agreed upon invitation list.
Jimmy first wrote the few that he wanted to send in person, and the rest was faster. He could even just sign, and let Nia help write the rest. Anyway, they were all written by himself and his wife, so it didn't matter. .
When everything was ready, Jimmy started to contact Ruiz on the phone to make sure they were all at home before communicating with Ruiz about asking for leave.It's not the time for his wedding leave yet, but because the few invitations he needs to send are too far away, even if he leaves on the weekend, he still needs to take a day or two off.
Taking advantage of the weekend, Jimmy carried his suitcase to JFK Airport, registered his identity and took a flight to Little Rock.
The first invitation must be given to James, who has been one of the best people to him over the years, and this time James is not a guest, but is attending as Jimmy's family.
In fact, James does not need an invitation, but Jimmy is getting married for the first time after all. Strictly speaking, this invitation is actually a wedding souvenir. It has the signatures of Jimmy and Nia, and the wedding time and place. These are all of great significance. The information is naturally considered an important item. Even if it is not needed, Jimmy hopes that James can keep a copy.
Jimmy came out of the airport and took a taxi directly to James' home. James had already received the news in advance, so he and Mary were waiting for Jimmy at home.
As soon as the door opened, before Jimmy could speak, Mary hugged Jimmy before James. She looked more enthusiastic towards Jimmy and kissed his forehead: "Good boy, you have finally grown up."
Jimmy hugged Mary: "Thanks, Mary."
Jimmy also hugged James: "James, long time no see."
James: "Come in."
Jimmy dragged his suitcase to the living room, opened the suitcase first, took out the invitation and his gift, and handed it to James, "James, I very much hope that you and Mary can attend my and Nia's wedding in May."
James: "Of course. Are you ready for the ceremony?"
Jimmy: "Well, I originally planned to hold the wedding in a hotel. None of Nia's family are religious, but I recently got help from some people and temporarily held the wedding in one of the oldest churches in New York, St. Ann's. Dr. White, who is highly respected by the church, will be the witness."
James looked at Jimmy in surprise: "Have you been rebaptized?"
Jimmy laughed, "You know, you helped me become a believer. I was not re-baptized, but as a supernumerary exorcist of the church, I am considered one of their own. This can be regarded as a help to me recently. Let’s reward them for their busy work.”
James frowned: "What did you say? Exorcist? Something dangerous? What did you do for them?"
Jimmy: "It's just a small thing. I helped with a few exorcism rituals. It's nothing. Don't worry."
James: "Well, just be careful. How many such things happen?"
Jimmy: "According to the church, there has been an increasing trend in recent years. What about here in Little Rock? Have you heard anything about it?"
James shook his head: "I haven't contacted the police station for a long time."
Jimmy: "Then you should be careful. The church did not say the specific number, but since there is a trend of more and more, you should not go to the wilderness. It is always right to be careful."
James nodded: "I know. Let's have lunch at home and try Mary's cooking. It's very good."
Jimmy: "Of course, thank you Mary."
James got up and took the half-drunk bottle of whiskey and two glasses from the side. Jimmy drank and chatted with James, while Mary got up and started preparing lunch.
In the afternoon, Jimmy's former county police colleagues, Cagg and Noah, came to James's house together. They were both at work. Originally, Jimmy called to find their location to meet, but they found out that Jimmy had come to Little Rock and was in On James' side, they didn't let Jimmy run back and forth, and drove over together in a police car.
I haven’t seen him for a while. Kag is still as fat and has not lost weight. Noah is much better, at least his body shape looks relatively normal.
Jimmy hugged them, greeted them and their families, and handed over two invitations.
Kag: "Jimmy, you don't have to be so polite. I need you to deliver it yourself. Just mail it directly."
Jimmy: "Of course not. This is the place where I fought, so I have to deliver it in person. Karg, how is your son Nick doing now?"
Kag looked at Noah: "He has completed the training at the police academy and is now interning under Noah."
Noah: "Don't worry, Nick is very nice and has a good attitude. I'm watching over him and I won't let him mess around."
Jimmy: "That's good. I thought you sent him to the state police."
Kag shook his head: "It's better to keep him around. I need to watch him and prevent him from contacting those people again. Wait until he works for a few years, if he really wants to change places."
Jimmy: "Contact me if you need anything. You know, I have some acquaintances in some places now."
Kag: "No need at the moment."
Jimmy chatted with them for a while, and then Karg and Noah left. They still need to continue patrolling. Although both of them are supervisors, the number of county police officers is still not as good as that of city police. Naturally, they also need to be assigned certain patrols. Time, just not like before. Most of the working time is on the road.Noah taught Jimmy the duties of a police officer and also trained him in skills such as PIT. Kag took Jimmy through the most important early period of county police internship. Jimmy was able to gain a foothold in the county police, and the two of them Definitely one of the biggest contributors.
After chatting with James for a while, Jimmy stood up and left. Because there were many invitations to send, James understood, so he didn't stay overnight.
Jimmy left James' house, passed by Justin's bar, and delivered the invitation in person.It's not okay for Justin to be the best man, that would draw too much attention, but it's still okay to attend the wedding as a friend.
Next is Orlando, Florida. Tom has changed his identity. His current name is Thomas Roberts. He bought a farm here as his home after retirement. His life is not bad. At least Tom was still in good spirits when we last met. Can.
Jimmy first found a hotel in Orlando to rest for a night, and then went out early the next morning to go to Tom's Roberts Farm. He finally saw the small farm that Tom had been dreaming about before. In fact, the farm was not very big, and different crops and vegetables were planted in different zones. Look It is full of vitality and is indeed a good place for self-cultivation.
Seeing Tom from a distance, Jimmy quickened his pace and walked over, put the suitcase aside, stretched out his hand and hugged Tom: "Long time no see, Tom."
Tom patted Jimmy on the back, and the two separated. Tom said, "He came very quickly. Have you seen James? Come in first."
Jimmy nodded, reached for his suitcase and followed Tom towards the farm house: "I just came from Little Rock."
Entering the house, Jimmy found that the house seemed a bit too simple. There were only basic sofas and coffee tables and a few shelves with some books, plates, cups and other tableware on them. The entertainment items were only a TV series and a radio on the coffee table. It doesn't look like a permanent place, but like a temporary living environment.
After careful observation, Jimmy confirmed that this was Tom's residence, because he found a weapons rack in the small room next to it, with many guns hung on it, and there was also a basement. Judging from the outline of the weapons stored, it was enough for shooting. A small war.
Jimmy: "Have you always lived here? Why don't you prepare more daily necessities at home?"
Tom: "Of course it's always here. The workers live in the house next to it. I'm the only one here. That's enough."
Jimmy: "It's not interesting to live like this alone. Why not find someone to accompany you?"
Tom was speechless, "Boy, it's not your turn to arrange my affairs. Where are the things?"
Jimmy took the suitcase and took out the invitation, and also picked up a bottle of gin he had brought over. "This is for you. You can have a drink alone when you have nothing to do."
Tom took the invitation, opened it and took a look at it, "Okay, the things have been delivered, you can go."
This time it was Jimmy's turn to be speechless. What he shouldn't have said just now... "No, it's too embarrassing for you to chase me away after I flew thousands of kilometers here. Take me to see the farm? This is still me." It’s the first time I’ve seen this kind of farm.”
Tom just said that, since Jimmy arrived in New York, he seems to be different from before, and now he looks more and more slippery.He put the invitation on the coffee table and said, "Let's go out and walk around."
Naturally, things like visiting the farm were casual. Jimmy and Tom chatted about some daily life matters. Tom had completely retired and was no longer in the state of needing to be careful all the time before. Naturally, he would not exclude chatting about daily life.
I walked around half of the farm and came to the vegetable area to pick some vegetables and take them home. Tom wanted to make lunch by himself today. Of course, the first choice was barbecue. However, the meat was not from the farm, but purchased outside. This is a farm, not a pasture. Vegetables are definitely fine, but meat is not available here.
While Tom was busy in front of the grill, Jimmy suddenly asked: "Tom, do you think I should send an invitation to Mrs. Waltz?"
Tom's hand movement did not stop, but he did not answer immediately. After a while, he said: "Give me one. Mrs. Waltz has not participated in any activities for a long time. She has been living in that cabin all these years." On."
Tom put the seasoned ribs on the grill, washed his hands at the water pipe nearby, sat next to Jimmy, picked up a bottle of beer and took a sip, "But don't expect her to go to the wedding, she will probably let Sam Go for her."
Jimmy: "Well, I'm also worried that it would be too abrupt to go directly to deliver the invitation. If you think it's okay, I'll go there as soon as I leave here."
Tom drank his beer and looked at the grill, "In this case, I will prepare it later, and you can help me bring something to the teacher."
Jimmy: "No problem. Besides, those people from DIA we met when we went there last time..."
Tom: "You decide for yourself, or you can ask Mrs. Waltz for her opinion, if you really want to maintain the relationship between that group of people."
Jimmy: "Their relationship is actually nothing to me, but I'm worried that not sending the invitation will make them suspicious of me."
Tom: "No, as I told you before, your identity is hidden, and you didn't know them at all before. You only met them once at Mrs. Waltz's place, so it doesn't matter whether you send them away or not, it doesn't make any difference. .”
Jimmy: "Well, let's do that. When I get there, I'll ask Mrs. Waltz. Speaking of which, you've been here for so long, have you contacted any of your former friends? Except for James."
Tom shook his head: "I am already a dead person. It is better not to contact anyone from the past. This is good for everyone and prevents anyone from thinking too much. Life is pretty good now. I am busy on the farm every day. At least It’s much better than Dongzang XZ. And you can meet a lot of new people here, so it’s good to start over.”
Tom stood up and turned over the grill. Jimmy saw that Tom still had a faint smile on his face even when talking about this topic. It seemed that he had completely let go of the past, and he was in a good mood, so that was it.
Tom didn't waste too long here. In the afternoon, Tom drove Jimmy to the Orlando Airport. Jimmy took off again, this time to Dallas. The invitation from Director Lambert must have been sent, but Lambert also said so. You may not be able to go there by yourself, you need to check the arrangements later.
However, Jimmy's goal has been achieved. No matter whether Director Lambert goes to attend or not, his etiquette must be in place. Lambert has helped Jimmy several times in the past, so an invitation is still necessary.
The next step was to fly to Washington DC, and from here to Mrs. Waltz's forest cabin in Virginia. In addition to his own luggage, he also had a backpack containing the gift Tom prepared for Mrs. Waltz.
Jimmy looked at the gifts prepared by Tom and didn't know what to say for a moment. Chocolates, waffles, coconut sugar, these things seemed to be everywhere. It always felt a bit awkward to bring a bunch of snacks and candies to Mrs. Waltz, as if he wasn't going there. Meet an old man and bring gifts to her grandchildren instead. (End of chapter)
