The scene investigation was handed over to Jones and Diana; they had already called for an ambulance and arranged for the forensic personnel from the department to come over for investigation. Meanwhile, the two robbers plus kidnappers needed to be sent to the hospital, and someone needed to supervise them there. These tasks were too cumbersome, so Jimmy wasn't interested in participating.
Now that Peter and Elizabeth are safe, all that's left is to go back to the FBI office, make a record for them and let Elizabeth go home. As for Peter, he will have to stay at the office and work overtime.
Jimmy walked out of the power station and lit a cigarette outside, looking around. In a corner, he spotted a homeless man. His disguise was quite good, making him look like any typical homeless person, except he occasionally sneaked a glance at Jimmy's position, which exposed him. This guy is surely an informant for the Bowery Kings.
Thinking it over, Jimmy directly took out his phone and dialed Winston: "Good evening, Winston. Thank you."
Winston: "Looks like your matter is resolved."
Jimmy: "Yes, very smoothly. The people have been rescued. Can I bother Charon to send over my payment? Two hundred thousand. Since it's resolved, I want to settle it early, so I won't forget later on."
Winston: "Of course, no problem. So that's it? I imagine you must be busy."
Jimmy: "Yeah, need to go back to interrogations and report writing. Thanks, goodbye, Winston."
Winston: "Goodbye, Jimmy."
Jimmy hung up the phone, continued smoking, and waited until Peter and Jones finished handling the scene, then the group left the abandoned power station and returned to the office.
In the elevator, Peter said to Jimmy: "Jimmy, write a report when we get back." Then he whispered in his ear, "Think carefully about the reasons for shooting."
Jimmy nodded; he had pondered this while smoking earlier. Although he was sure Peter and his wife weren't dead, he wasn't sure if they were injured. The standing perpetrator held a gun, which was a clear threat, so he shot immediately.
However, the woman on the second floor didn't have a weapon, and she was quite far from Peter. The only uncertainty was whether there was a weapon on the second floor, so he fired once there too.
Anyway, the fact remains that he shot at an unarmed suspect, which would definitely catch the attention of others.
This matter is neither minor nor major; it won't threaten his career, but might irritate the OPR for a while, perhaps even result in being pressed in the public affairs office for some time.
Jimmy didn't rush back to his own office; instead, he followed Peter to their meeting room where everyone involved in the operation was waiting.
After a while, Deputy Director Dave and Mrs. Mason came in; Dave sat at the head of the conference table, and Mrs. Mason sat at the first position on his left.
Dave looked around the meeting room and said, "Is everyone here? Let's begin. Peter, please tell us, what is going on?"
Peter was sitting at the first position on the right, "Alright. Today's incident was unexpected. A while ago, there was a car accident; my wife and I planned to go on a weekend vacation to relieve stress. This morning, we drove to a boutique store where there was an exhibition allowing us to preview Queen Mary's perfume bottle.
After the visit, Elizabeth and I left the boutique store and were threatened with a gun when getting into the car; our car was robbed, and we were taken hostage.
After the car drove two blocks, our phones were taken by the robber Nate and thrown into a trash bin. Then, we were taken to an abandoned power station in Brooklyn that had been modified by one of the robbers, Penny, as their temporary residence, ever since Nate broke out of prison.
My car was abandoned by Nate, who then obtained another vehicle for use as a getaway car for the third robbery.
In the afternoon, he found my credentials and searched out the gun in my bag. He didn't shoot me; instead, he used Elizabeth as leverage to get me to assist him with the robbery planned for tomorrow morning.
In the evening, the SWAT team, my squad, and Jimmy raided the power station, injuring two robbers and rescuing us. That's the full story."
Peter turned to glance at Jimmy and then looked back at Dave: "Additionally, regarding the robber Nate, some unique circumstances need to be mentioned.
Through Penny, we learned that Nate was sentenced to fifteen years for assaulting a police officer, and he had been in prison for nearly three years before escaping.
However, there were issues with his assault conviction; the officer possibly lied. Nate was caught while stealing car parts, and when the officer arrived, he turned a theft into an assault and reported it to the Prosecutor.
The officer was later suspended for improper investigation, so there is something wrong with the case; he shouldn't have been sentenced to fifteen years."
Dave: "That's irrelevant to us. So you and Elizabeth were kidnapped because they robbed the boutique and then held you at gunpoint, right?"
Peter nodded, "But they didn't harm us, not so far. So, Jimmy, they aren't deserving of death."
Dave: "Don't absolve them; kidnapping FBI agents is a federal offense. Jimmy, what charges might they face?"
Jimmy glanced at Peter and spoke: "At least seven charges, federal kidnapping and coercion, robbery and armed robbery, illegal detention, possession of illegal weapons, vehicle theft.
