Jimmy returned to New York, and after a small three-person meeting with Hughes and Mahong, Hughes still hadn't made up his mind to let Jimmy go interstate for work, so he had to put up with it for now.

However, Jimmy's feeling of suffocation didn't last long. That evening, he received a text from Tom. Jimmy left his apartment on foot, not taking his car, and walked towards Central Park.

Jimmy's apartment was in the Upper West Side, not far from Central Park, so walking wasn't a problem.

At a bench in Central Park, Jimmy sat and waited for a few minutes before Tom arrived and sat next to him.

Tom, "Jimmy, have you ever thought about taking this opportunity to break away from the CIA?"

Jimmy nodded, "I don't have any special feelings for the CIA, you know, I've always been with the police and FBI." He was originally looking forward, but suddenly turned to Tom, asking in confusion, "Why bring this up all of a sudden?"

Tom, "Nothing much, I've already investigated this matter thoroughly."

Tom looked around, the Central Park in the evening had few people left, at least there was no one around them, and there were no surveillance cameras or the like.

Tom, "The matter starts with the Stumbling Block plan, the CIA and a national team launched the Stumbling Block plan, a covertly implemented scheme, mainly involving the use of drugs to enhance the physical abilities and intelligence of agents while training them in various skills, who would then be sent abroad in a covert status, activated to perform missions when needed.

The drugs for this program were provided by a pharmaceutical company, supplying drugs that were in the development phase, resulting in agents experiencing abnormalities like amnesia and mental disorders, among which Bourne was the best.

Some incidents happened with Bourne, who was then scheduled by the company for elimination, after which he returned to New York, joined the Anti-Terrorism Bureau and training centers, exposed the Black Stonecrop project, causing an earthquake within the CIA, which was the news some time ago.

While these events were happening, the head of the national research group behind the Stumbling Block plan, Rick, to avoid exposure of their experiments with incomplete drugs on agents, arranged an agent elimination plan, both Stumbling Block and Black Stonecrop agents were on the elimination list, and you were targeted by them as well.

From the current clues, the previous two attacks on you were probably their arrangements. However, it seems they have stopped their actions, there are no signs of continuation."

Jimmy, "I don't know them, are they tough?" If they weren't tough, Tom himself would have taken action, as he had been busy these past few years for the incident of him being killed.

Tom shook his head, "Very tough, they themselves are not numerous, but they collaborate with many agencies, I still don't know if there are other agent plans in progress, all these need a long time to investigate."

Jimmy, "I trust your investigation, but the current situation is a bit off. I got sniped again a few days ago, in the middle of the night, got a phone from the shooter, it's from a lobbying firm in Washington D.C., there's an employee who went missing there, his family had a chapel, now DHS and FBI suspect it's related to the serial bombings I was involved in before."

Tom turned to Jimmy, "Another new attack? When did this happen?"

Jimmy reported the time, Tom shook his head, "They hadn't left the command center at that time, nine out of ten it was still their arrangement, probably to mislead you."

Jimmy, "I understand, then let's keep an eye on them, but I can't talk about this to the department, too much of this doesn't concern us."

Tom, "No way, you'll probably have to handle this one yourself."

Jimmy looked up at the sky; New York's sky was nowhere as clear as it was in Small Rock City, the moon and stars were somewhat blurry.

Jimmy, "Man, it's difficult to handle, unless I abandon my current identity and act on my own, otherwise, I can't openly discuss these matters with them."

Tom patted Jimmy's thigh, "It's up to you now, if you decide to give up revenge, I think I could find someone to talk over there."

Jimmy shook his head, "Giving up revenge isn't in my nature, I'll think about it."

Tom took out a briefcase he had, placed it on his lap, opened it and handed Jimmy a folder, "Here are some pieces of information I've found, if you really don't want to give up, take it to look over. Remember to destroy it."

Jimmy, "Okay, I think this might not be immediate, if they don't attack me again, we can take it slow, if they don't stop, I guess even if I risk going to jail, I will take them down immediately."

Tom shook his head, "I think there won't be any for now; they have been arranging all the tasks under a command center subordinate to the Ministry of Defense, they vacated there a couple of days ago."

Jimmy, "Okay, thanks, Tom, for all the trouble you've gone through for me."

Tom didn't say anything but was daydreaming while Jimmy waited too.

Tom, "I think it's about time I retired."

Jimmy, "Are you going to Kentucky?"

Tom, "No, I might retire in Florida, we'll see."

Jimmy, "Maybe take a trip to Little Rock City first? James misses you."

Tom, "We'll see. I'm going to head back now."

Tom picked up his briefcase and stood up; after walking a few steps, he stopped. Jimmy looked at him and asked, "Anything else?"
