Chapter 677 Returning to Los Angeles
However, since he was heartbroken, Jack could not agree immediately because he was seconded to the New York office in the name of a consultant and was still nominally a member of the BAU. If he accepted this position, Even if he officially left BAU, it would feel like a change of scenery.
Although there is not much difference between a teacher and a mistress, given that the number of Rossi’s confidante is still unknown, he still plans to return to Los Angeles as soon as possible to have a good chat with him in person.
This time Dana Moger was quite cheerful and approved a 7-day vacation with a wave of her hand. So after a brief tidying up, Jack got on the flight to Los Angeles alone.
A year has passed in the blink of an eye. Although Jack would come back to visit from time to time, it has been more than four months since his last trip to Virginia Beach.
The small building that was destroyed by rockets has been rebuilt. John and Tim will come over from time to time to help look after the renovation progress. There is still a construction period of half a year, but even after the renovation is completed, Jack has no intention of selling it.
After all, this is his first real home after coming to this world. He is not short of money now. He just plans to rebuild it in the original style and keep it as a souvenir. Maybe it will come in handy in the future.
However, Jack’s second home has not yet been settled. Chris is running the small farm on his behalf, and the renovation time is far away, because whether it is the royalties from the novel or Justin’s “small business” that has just started, At present, it only allows him to worry about daily expenses.
It is not impossible to spend one to two million dollars to renovate the entire small farm at once, but it is not necessary for the time being. After all, he can foresee that he will stay on the East Coast for a long time. Quite a long time.
After getting off the plane, Jack realized that he now had a home and could not return. He originally planned to come back after completing his mission in Virginia Beach, but as a result, he only focused on spending time with Hannah during that short vacation, leaving Jie Jie behind. ignored.
After that, he was busy helping the NYPD clean up the house, and then it was a bunch of trivial matters, and then it was a big case. This time, before coming back, he made a video call to Jiejie. The always gentle Jiejie deliberately put on a show to him. Cold face.
If this is not coaxed well, someone may not even have a place to sleep tonight, because unfortunately, the two royal sisters Zoe and Maureen have just flown to Washington DC to participate in political activities.
As an ambitious new political star, Ms. Zoe Anderson’s efforts in California are not enough. Her exposure in Washington, D.C. is also very important. She often has to participate in some public events. Among those big bosses Show your face.
After getting off the plane, while it was still early, Jack went to the Wilshire Police Station to meet the old guys. Although they kept in touch with each other, they hadn’t seen each other for a long time and bought some coffee and sweets. The relationship between donuts should still be there.
The veterans of the LAPD have not changed much. Some trainee police officers have been added. Others are still living their daily lives step by step. John has changed from a rookie to a veteran. Recently, he is struggling with career choices. Whether to become a detective or continue working as a patrol officer and then become a senior instructor.
Jack didn't want to recruit his teammates from this group of old friends. After all, the headquarters of the Most Wanted Group was still located in New York, with one on the west coast and the other on the east coast. These guys were either already married or about to get married soon, so there was no need to follow him everywhere. .
Furthermore, the retirement age of the FBI is 57 years old, and the pension payment period is 20 years, which means that the minimum recruitment age for FBI agents is 37 years old. John and Tim, two old men, have no chance. .
Angela Lopez and Lucy are of the right age, and the former has rich experience, and the latter is also a bright-minded elementary school bully, but Jack has no intention of turning his team into a women's army, let alone Besides, neither of them would be willing to live in separate places from their husbands and boyfriends.
Leaving the police station and returning to the BAU team, there is a new face here, a handsome Latino boy, Luke Elvis, a strong muscular man, a former member of the Army Special Forces, who looks very... Looks like he can fight.
But he is only a senior agent in training at the BAU now, because he needs to take 560 hours of behavioral analysis theory courses before he can officially become a behavior analyst.
Before Luke Elwes joined the BAU, he not only worked in several branches, but also joined the wanted criminal unit in Los Angeles. However, the reason why Jack paid attention to him was just because he had some impressions of this handsome face in his previous life. , the original actor should have also appeared in "CSI-Miami".
He made an appointment with Rosie to meet at his house in the evening, and Jack made an appointment with Rhett, Emily, and Hotchner to have dinner at the Wolf Brothers Farm the next day, and finally at Garcia's office After chatting with her about everyone's gossip for a while, he took Jiejie away. After having dinner at a high-end restaurant near Santa Monica Beach, seeing that Jie Jie's deliberately stern face was a little loose, Jack quickly struck while the iron was hot and gave him the gift he had carefully prepared.
What appeared in front of Jiejie was a platinum necklace inlaid with dozens of large and small diamonds, with a 16-carat starlight emerald inlaid in the middle. Under the light, It exudes an intoxicating light under the illumination.
The veteran Irish jeweler recommended by Henry, the old man of the Reagan family, has really good craftsmanship. Although the charge is extremely high, the price is heirloom level.
This was the most generous time Jack had ever made in his life. Even though Jiejie didn't know much about appreciating jewelry, she was shocked and speechless for a moment.
"God, what on earth did you do in Mexico?" She closed the jewelry box, looked around subconsciously, and found that no one noticed this scene, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
As expected of the woman he fell in love with, Jiejie’s subconscious reaction was not surprise but concern for herself. After leaving the restaurant, on the way to Rosie’s house in Beverly Hills, Jack told her story in detail. Experience in Mexico.
But in terms of the degree of danger, the situation he encountered in Mexico this time was actually much safer than the last time. After all, in most cases, he relied on the national power of the United States and Mexico.
But when Jiejie heard the end and learned that Jack had been trekking in the tropical jungle with the SEALs for nearly a day and night, she still subconsciously grabbed his arm.
Because of their experience together on a Southeast Asian island, she knew better how torturous that damn tropical jungle was. Although Jack tried his best to downplay their final battle alone, how could Jiejie, who was also an FBI agent, will not realize the risks involved.
So when the two of them arrived at their destination, Jack parked the car at the door of Rossi's villa, but the two of them didn't get out of the car until a lonely old man got impatient and looked at him with a bad look. He walked over and knocked on the car window, and then the four glue-like lips parted reluctantly.
Of course Rossi's unhappy expression was not because he was stuffed with dog food by the young couple, but when he saw Jack bringing Jiejie to the door, he knew that he was going to lose another general.
"Have you decided?" After pouring out the black tea that had been cooked in advance and now completely cold, Rossi took out a bottle of 20-year-old bourbon and poured it for the two people in front of him.
Jack grinned a little, "Of course not. Didn't I come here specifically to ask for your opinion?"
Jiejie still didn't know what happened, so she couldn't help but stare at her beautiful eyes, "Is there any secret between you two that you are hiding from me?"
"Uh" Jack hadn't figured out how to explain it for a while. Originally, he should have told Jiejie on the way here and asked her what she thought, but hadn't he just spent the rest of his time on "quarrels of words" and didn't bother to talk about it for a moment.
"I may not be able to return to Los Angeles in a short time, and I hope you can go to New York with me."
As soon as these words came out, without waiting for Jiejie's reaction, Rosie He snorted coldly, drank the whiskey in the glass in one gulp, and then placed the glass heavily on the table.
