Jimmy returned to the command center and glared fiercely at Watson's back for a while before turning his gaze back to the monitors on the wall.

Watson was just standing there like a supervisor, so Jimmy had to speak up and ask, "Did you find the surveillance data from where the Boxer last disappeared?"

A staff member replied, "There is no government surveillance there, we need to arrange for personnel to go and inspect the site."

Jimmy: "Agent Watson, do you have someone you can send over there?"

Watson: "I've already made arrangements in advance but have not yet had a response."

Jimmy continued issuing orders: "Pull up the surveillance from the previous positional points nearby. Extract all available surveillance data based on the positioning time."

The staff member turned to look at Watson, who nodded. He picked up the notebook in front of him and rose to leave the command center. With this amount of data to investigate, the few people here couldn't handle it; coordination with others was necessary. With Watson's nod, he naturally chose the best approach instead of wasting time here alone.

Jimmy turned to Watson: "Without any other way to confirm his identity and location, we have to do it this way. Agent Watson, this might take more than a day or two, please arrange an office nearby for me."

Watson: "No problem."

Jimmy unbuttoned his suit jacket, put his hands in his pants pockets, and slightly spread his legs; standing this way was a bit more comfortable. Watson, probably used to standing, maintained a very upright posture, completely devoid of Jimmy's need to relax, which, of course, was also connected to his current mood.

It was somehow unsettling to have to borrow someone for the investigation due to internal issues.

Fortunately, thanks to the previous explosion case, and having been investigated through Jimmy's files, despite his young age, he seemed to be the most fitting person for the job, and it appeared he even owed Watson a favor.

Jimmy was quite exceptional among the current FBI agents: ruthless, meticulous in thinking, and from simple clues, he managed a potential New York bombing case where, in the end, except for the mastermind escaping, all others were caught or eliminated.

Although nominally just an assistant, the role he played in the case was something a keen person like Watson couldn't overlook.

If not for Jimmy's special status as a prominent young agent under close watch by the Manhattan office and his significant accomplishments, Watson might have even thought of recruiting him into the CIA, as Jimmy's characteristics were a perfect match for a CIA field agent's training.

Even though Jimmy might not manage to kill the Boxer, as a stranger, unless particularly unlucky, his presence alone wouldn't likely draw the Boxer's attention, so his safety was somewhat assured.

Watson was not an impulsive person; he was used to controlling everything and would have considered many factors before making a decision, so from his perspective, Jimmy's task was actually to find the person. Once found, their own personnel could step in to take out the Boxer. If Jimmy managed to take out the Boxer directly, it would certainly be a pleasant surprise.

Jimmy was not aware of Watson's thoughts, but the words Watson had said in the hallway still troubled him, "So, I didn't ask you to capture him alive," clearly showing that Watson was planning a deadly approach.

Regarding his own safety, it wasn't too big of an issue. Hughes wouldn't make a deal with Watson only to send him to his death; as long as he avoided being killed by the Boxer, there shouldn't be many problems.

What troubled him now was whether to follow Watson's instructions.

According to Watson, his goal was to locate the person, meaning Watson must have arranged for agents to hide around him, ready to act as soon as the Boxer was found.

Although Jimmy was not familiar with the Boxer, he was very interested in the data within the Boxer's dossiers. Although he wasn't afraid of Watson, his own covert identity was still a dilemma; learning more about CIA operations would still be beneficial.

Eliminating the Boxer might not grant access to those data, but not taking him out wouldn't necessarily allow him to capture the Boxer safely either. It was a dilemma.

Watson didn't wait long before he left the command center. After a while, a female staff member came to notify Jimmy that an office had been arranged not far from the command center.

Jimmy followed her there, thankful that it was a single-room separated by a glass wall. The filing cabinets in the office had already been emptied, and a laptop was placed on the desk. Jimmy clicked it, and it was at the login page, not yet logged into the system.

The staff member handed Jimmy a slip of paper with two sets of numbers, "Here's your identification code and password."

Jimmy: "Thank you."

After the staff member left, Jimmy used the identification code and password to log into the computer. It seemed to be a custom system; after starting up, it did not enter a desktop operating system but directly displayed an application system interface. After briefly clicking around, most options were inaccessible due to insufficient privileges, but it was possible to view personal information.

Jimmy thought it over and decided to give it a try. He entered his name and date of birth, and a list appeared. Upon clicking, he found the information to be very basic, showing only standard driver's license info and not even displaying the social security number.

Well, it seemed his access was quite limited; Watson wouldn't likely grant him high-level privileges. He'd just treat this place as a break room. For further information, he would need to go back to the command center.
