After the target left the laboratory, he directly entered the Embassy. Our people confirmed the target's position inside the Embassy, but it's too sensitive there, and we can't execute the mission. We can only choose to intercept when he leaves the Embassy.

After the target entered the Embassy, we checked his situation. His family went on a trip to India a week ago and is currently not in the country. The situation in India is complicated, and we are temporarily unable to locate their position and situation.

Jimmy: "What is the missing intelligence?"

Richard pointed at the young man beside him: "This is Miguel Hernandez from the DIA network department."

Miguel: "The missing data cannot provide specific content; it is part of a certain weapon system. After you obtain the intelligence, I will verify the data; you do not have the authority to read the relevant information."

Jimmy nodded, and Richard continued: "Hernandez will serve as the liaison between the DIA and us. Caitlin, arrange for him at the Anti-Terrorism Bureau.

We have not yet determined the manner and time of the target's departure. The internal intel is currently working hard to obtain the relevant intelligence, so please be prepared in advance."

Caitlin nodded. Although this is a CIA mission, it was initiated by the DIA, so naturally, there will be a DIA liaison. This is understandable.

The reason why the DIA did not directly take action is probably because it involves the Embassy. It's entirely understandable that the United States intelligence agencies plant spies in various embassies, and the CIA is surely the best at it.

Jimmy: "Will the target send the information out via the internet in advance?"

Miguel: "The information requires a specific decoder to be read. It should not have been transmitted yet, and I believe they will not allow the target to send information directly online; the risk is too great."

Jimmy: "Has he received any agent training? There is no record in the data."

Richard: "It cannot be determined. We have not been monitoring for long, and the data is still relatively scarce."

Jimmy nodded, closed the document, and pushed it to Caitlin. Caitlin: "Is there anything else to note?"

Richard: "Currently, that's all. We will update you with intelligence at any time."

Caitlin: "Understood, we will return to New York as soon as possible."

Caitlin signed a register and then left with the file, Jimmy also following.

As they walked, Caitlin said to Jimmy: "Jimmy, prepare after you return, ready to deploy at any time."

Jimmy was a little startled: "Will I be the only one acting on this mission?"

Caitlin: "No, this is our Anti-Terrorism Bureau's mission. I will arrange for others to participate in the mission, including the intelligence team and surveillance team, as well as field operatives. Your identity is very important, and you will be notified to the scene as a backup during the action."

Jimmy nodded: "I understand."

Caitlin: "Go to the Anti-Terrorism Bureau tomorrow to receive the mission equipment for this time."

Jimmy: "Received, don't forget to prepare an extra unnumbered revolver and a silenced Glock 19 for me."

Caitlin: "Any other requests?"

Jimmy: "Not for now, just the usual preparations."

Caitlin: "Then you can go home first."

Jimmy nodded and parted ways at Caitlin's office door. Caitlin returned to the office, and Jimmy went to the elevator and left Langley.

Jimmy drove back to Washington airport, parked the car in a nearby parking lot, and directly paid for a long-term spot just in case. Although there is indeed a parking lot at Washington airport where you can park for a long time, Jimmy was uncertain of when he would return, and outside is more convenient.

When Jimmy got home, Nia hadn't even finished work yet. Ah, if I'd known it was this simple, I wouldn't have bothered to mention it.

The next morning, Jimmy arrived at the Anti-Terrorism Bureau. Caitlin arranged for one of her assistants to take Jimmy to a room to collect equipment. After confirming Jimmy's identity, a technician in the room took a black leather case from a cabinet and pushed it to Jimmy.

Upon opening the case, the technician began introducing the items inside. He first took out a walkie-talkie and matching hidden earpiece, the earpiece on a base. "The frequency has been adjusted: one is the main frequency, two and three are two preset backup frequencies, and of course, you can also adjust the frequency yourself. The earpiece lasts for 6 hours on a full charge, and when it runs out, it can be charged with this base."

After Jimmy accepted it and examined it, the technician picked up a bar phone with no brand mark. The back had a camera; the screen on the front was not large, looking to be only about 2 inches. "This is a customized phone for the bureau, with no SIM card. The number is pre-set inside and cannot be changed, nor can it be traced."

Placing it on the table, the technician brought out another box. "This is a sealed box, blocking all electronic signals. After you get the data, place it in here to block any potential tracking signals."

He then turned the case around. "These two guns are what you requested: no serial numbers, no registration, never used."

To the side was the revolver Jimmy wanted, specifically the Colt Python he was currently using; only it was the standard version, alongside a Glock 19, with two spare magazines, a tube silencer, two boxes of matching .357 Magnum bullets, and 9mm rounds nestled alongside it.

Jimmy frowned and looked at the technician: "Is this all?"

The technician nodded: "Yes."

Jimmy: "Do I need to return them?"

The technician shrugged: "If there are any still intact, you can bring them back for recycling. Please confirm here."

He picked up the fingerprint scanner beside him and placed it in front of Jimmy. Jimmy put everything back into the case and pressed his fingerprint on the scanner to confirm his identity before picking up the case to leave.

Jimmy didn't greet Caitlin but directly left the Anti-Terrorism Bureau with the case, returned home, and placed the case at home before sitting on the sofa to consider this mission.

In fact, this was only Jimmy's second CIA mission. For the last one, Caitlin merely told him something in person, and then he went to Portland, found the contact person, took the weapon from a safe house, completed the mission by making a phone call, and that was it.

However, from the start at Langley, this mission felt very strange. It seemed particularly formal, with a case briefing at Langley headquarters, in a dedicated secure meeting room, with the supervisor present and liaison from the cooperating department. In New York, they even provided complete equipment, obtained from the Anti-Terrorism Bureau, not just from a safe house.

Oh, and on the last mission, they didn't give him communication equipment or real-time intelligence support. This time it seems there is not only technical support, but Caitlin also mentioned that the Anti-Terrorism Bureau would have field agents executing tasks; his main role is to utilize the FBI identity as a backup.

Are all CIA missions like this? Not to mention that in movies there is always a central command center providing real-time situation updates, and even FBI cases, those major cases were supported by bureau intelligence, with support from the Anti-Terrorism Bureau's command center.

So what was the mission he did for Caitlin last time? A private job?

Jimmy considered it, and if there's an opportunity, he should find a way to see his file at the CIA. If it's an official mission, his file should have records.

The next step is to patiently wait for Caitlin's notification, as the intelligence is incomplete, and the specific movement and timing of the target have not yet been determined.

In the evening, Jimmy and Nia were snuggled on the sofa watching a movie when Hughes called. He would officially start work on Monday; his vacation time was over. As for which department he would be transferred to, Hughes didn't specify, just said he would know when he got there.

On Monday morning, Jimmy donned a suit and went to the FBI Manhattan office, arriving early at the Homicide Team office.

Though he hadn't been there for a while, his spot was still there, and Jimmy couldn't be bothered to organize as he'd be moving for sure today.

Jimmy took his tea set to rinse and then brewed a pot of tea and waited. Finally, Hughes and Tim from the administrative department arrived together. Tim handed Jimmy a box containing his FBI badge and issued gun.

Tim: "Congratulations, Jimmy."

Jimmy: "Thank you. So, which department am I going to?" he said, pinning the badge on his belt and the holster along with it. It's finally back; being fully armed felt more familiar.

Tim said, with a smile: "The Office of Public Affairs, responsible for providing information and consultation to the public, news media, and other key stakeholders. Congratulations, you can relax for a while."

Jimmy blinked a few times, a bit puzzled. Why would there be congratulations when an active field agent like him was transferred from fieldwork?
