Although Priest Rodney didn't specify the exact procedure, he mentioned it was a very small ceremony, so there shouldn't be any problem. Just confirming the time is enough, this matter doesn't require too much thought.

Jimmy mentioned it to Nia when he got home. Although it's Jimmy who is acknowledging a godson, Nia is very concerned too. After all, besides their own child, this godson is considered a part of their family.

Jimmy got in touch with Alex Green and scheduled a meeting for next week, so this matter was wrapped up. Jimmy wasn't idle either; he went back to his study room, picked up his textbooks, and started studying. This was an opportunity he had worked hard to get before, and he couldn't let it go to waste for no reason.

In fact, due to getting married and going on a honeymoon, he had already missed one exam. He would need to take a make-up exam later. He had foresight and notified the school in advance. After all, his profession itself means he can't attend school and take exams like others at regular times; he might have to leave suddenly. Given his sponsorship of the school's library, everything was negotiable.

For Jimmy, as long as it's memorization, it's not a big problem. With his current spiritual power, it's enough for him to laze around for a while before cramming the materials.

The exam is scheduled for the start of the next semester. After all, it's not possible to arrange for a professor to work overtime during the holidays just for him. So Jimmy has more than a month to prepare, enough time to go through all the textbooks and materials several times during his rest. He definitely has more rest time now than before; now he can delegate to his subordinates. As long as there are no special events, life will be quite comfortable.

In fact, when he returned to the office, Mark and Julia had already arrived early. They were supposed to take turns on leave, but because Jimmy and Mahong went on a business trip, their vacation was postponed again. However, given the nature of their job, there's often no point in complaining.

A small meeting was held, and he assigned the tasks to the two of them. Jimmy went to Ruiz's office. He had agreed with Mahong to report to Ruiz about the mission details once they returned to work. It involved cooperation between two federal agencies, and there were casualties on both sides. This jailbreak case actually had a wide range of implications.

After listening, Ruiz also revealed some information. There was a high-level meeting in Washington, D.C., over the weekend. Although there were no details, it's said that people from the Judicial Department were also involved. DHS's handling of this matter was a bit sloppy, and they've caught the attention of some people. When departmental interests are involved, they won't miss such a good opportunity.

Jimmy looked at Ruiz in surprise. How long has it been since he became an assistant special agent in charge, and he already has such a wide network? He even knows about the meetings in D.C., which were held over the weekend. Getting this information so quickly must mean someone in D.C. leaked it.

This shows that Jimmy's previous thought that Peter was nurtured by Hughes and seemed formidable for those supposed connections now appears to be more of a position's accessory. Anyone who reaches this position, regardless of their previous status, becomes an important figure once they step in.

The FBI's New York office is, after all, the largest office, making up nearly 1/6 of the entire FBI field agents. To sit as an assistant special agent in charge at the Manhattan office is already a highly important position. Plus, Ruiz isn't even 40 yet, meaning he can theoretically hold related positions for twenty years. Considering Hughes's past network, aside from internal communications within the FBI, he even had acquaintances in NSA who could help secretly monitor FBI office calls, seems understandable now.

Mahong: "What are they discussing?"

Ruiz shrugged, "Of course, restricting DHS's scope. Years ago, after the 9/11 events, the newly formed DHS directly took control of thirty to forty relevant departments, integrating them into a gigantic behemoth. Their jurisdiction is too broad. There have been voices pushing to limit them these past two years, but it has always been hard to enforce.

This time is a good chance. Knowing full well the other side consisted of mercenaries, a considerable number of them, they still made such a wrong decision, resulting in the casualty of several agents, even our SRT team had one dead and two wounded. Such consequences are beyond what one or two people can bear.

This case was handled well, especially you, Jimmy. It was hard work. Chasing for hours alone in the forest must be exhausting and tense, right? Do you need a few days off?"

Jimmy raised his right eyebrow, "Can I? How many days?"

Ruiz: "Two or three days are doable. You might as well take a psychological evaluation; I need some materials for submission."

"Uh," Jimmy almost choked, "So that's your purpose. Is it necessary? I think I'm quite normal."

Ruiz: "It's not that I don't trust you, but this incident needs to be recorded, which is to your benefit."

Jimmy: "What benefit?"

Ruiz: "Not sure for now, but I wouldn't harm you. Remember to call Dr. Jason and book an appointment; I called him last night."

Jimmy: "Jason? That old stubborn guy, why can't I choose myself? I choose Dr. Mary."

Ruiz: "She isn't qualified. Let Dr. Jason do the psychological evaluation, and then you can rest at home."

Jimmy: "What about our department?"

Ruiz: "Mark and the other are capable, it's just a few days, no problem."
