Jimmy left the hospital and returned to the hotel.

Mahone wanted to continue investigating the jailbreak case, which was within Jimmy's expectations. Mahone is the kind of detective who is very focused; previously investigating the jailbreak case was part of his job, but being tasked to shoot all the escapees was arranged by those threatening him.

Now, even though he no longer had to worry about his ex-wife and son, the case still needed to be handled. It was one of the most important things he came to Chicago for.

Moreover, now he has a strong helper, so he has no worries and can do his job freely. He could even use himself as bait to draw out the people behind the scenes, which gave him more motivation to get out of the hospital and join the investigation.

For Mahone now, the biggest problem is that the person threatening him with his ex-wife and son is Bill King. However, whether there are others who know about this behind him is unknown. If Jimmy manages to deal with this Bill King, will there be any follow-up matters?

If the problem can't be solved in one go, his days ahead would be difficult. It would be even more troublesome if Bill King is taken away and then others take over.

Mahone is definitely not the kind of stubborn detective. It can be seen from him tacitly allowing Jimmy to get involved. If it weren't for the fact that he really had no way to find someone else to handle it, he would have already begun taking action.

However, Jimmy had always had a bit of doubt in his heart. Why did Mahone let himself be so easily threatened instead of arranging for his agency to provide distant protection for his ex-wife and son?

In fact, it's not the first or second time an agent has been threatened; usually, there are corresponding handling plans.

Mahone isn't a rookie agent; he definitely knew about them. But why didn't he apply? There must be other reasons, but he hasn't shared the reasons with Jimmy yet.

But this is not the problem. Everyone has their own secrets. As for being honest, besides being honest with Roland, Jimmy has hidden some inside information from everyone else, including James and Tom.

Jimmy looked at the time, took out his notebook, opened the CIA website, and checked Dylan Jenkins' information.

Dylan Jenkins is indeed his real name, and the ID photo matched the person he met last night, a graduate from Illinois Institute of Technology's Computer Science Department. He was caught by the FBI for identity information theft, imprisoned for 9 months, and has no employment information.

Dylan's father has already passed away, with the cause of death listed as a traffic accident. His mother is in Des Moines, Iowa. After graduating, Dylan did not return to his hometown but stayed in Chicago.

It seems that under the threat of a handgun last night, he indeed wasn't lying. At least everything he said matched up.

Jimmy continued to rest in the hotel until evening when he picked up the phone he had for Mahone and dialed Dylan Jenkins' number from the night before.

Dylan: "Jenkins, who is this?"

Jimmy: "Dylan, 9 PM, Jackson Park, by the dock next to the Pet Playground."

Upon hearing the voice, Dylan froze: "It's you, what's up?"

Jimmy: "Come over then, you'll know."

Jimmy hung up without giving Dylan a chance to refuse.

This Dylan is a talent. If he's compliant, has no particularly disgusting habits, and no other criminal records, he might still be acceptable as a technical support person.

In the evening, Jimmy put on a shoulder holster, changed into a suit, and drove to Jackson Park.

This is by Lake Michigan, featuring high-end clubs like Yacht Club, tennis courts, and golf courses. The safety is much better than South Chicago. Arranging the meeting here was also a signal to Dylan that this meeting is safe.

Jimmy arrived at the dock early and waited by the side. As it approached nine, a person wearing a hoodie and carrying a backpack arrived at the dock, looking around as he walked. Judging by his movements, he seemed overly cautious.

Jimmy surveyed the surroundings, ensuring no one was following him or watching the area, then walked over.

Jimmy: "Dylan, come here."

Dylan, seeing Jimmy in a suit, hesitated for a moment before walking out of the dock's range towards Jimmy and into a small grove.

"Put your bag down here. Let's chat over there." Jimmy went to a tree, had Dylan put down his bag, and after moving a distance away, Jimmy searched Dylan's pockets.

Dylan lowered his hood and raised his hands for Jimmy to search, confirming he wasn't carrying any recording devices. Only then was Jimmy at ease.

Dylan: "I didn't expect you to be so young and Asian."

Jimmy didn't respond but directly asked his question: "How's Adam? Have you contacted the employer?"

Dylan: "He's alright, just needs to rest at home for a while. Adam has contacted the employer, and since the person being monitored has already been picked up, the mission was terminated. Now we are all resting at home."

Jimmy: "What do you usually do? What's your source of income? Is the house you live in yours or rented?"

Dylan: "Before I answer, I'd like to ask, who are you?"

Jimmy shook his head, but in the dim light, Dylan couldn't see his expression: "Answer my question first."

Dylan shrugged: "We take on some tasks, private detective work, gathering intelligence, finding people. As for the house, it's rented. Unfortunately, neither of us owns a home."
