Days went by one by one, and the groomsmen's outfits for Woody and Mark were finally expedited and ready. Everything was in place, and Jimmy finally welcomed his long-anticipated wedding leave.
After checking his desk in the office and reviewing the current case investigation progress with Mark and Julia, Jimmy finally confirmed that he could go on leave.
During this month, Mark and Julia started working together again on investigations. Initially, Julia hadn't fully recovered, so Mark handled the fieldwork while Julia provided support from the back. This arrangement lasted until she was able to go out and thereby released the agent who had been temporarily supporting Mark.
In the recent case, Jimmy mainly followed along, with Mark and Julia taking the lead in the investigation. They were aware that Jimmy would have an extended honeymoon after his wedding, so they relied on themselves to run the Homicide Team during this time. It wasn't an easy job; not everyone could independently handle cases like Jimmy did during his six-month internship. Consequently, they were very meticulous, making sure to confirm all the discovered clues and follow-up steps with Jimmy.
This month of independently handling cases would definitely be beneficial for their growth. Mark was increasingly adopting Jimmy's style, focusing on on-site investigations, and between the two, he was gradually establishing a dominant position.
Once Jimmy had a thorough understanding of the situation, he stood up and clapped his hands: "OK, I'll leave the Homicide Team to both of you now, see you in a month. If you run into any trouble, you can first go to Mahong, who used to be in charge of the Homicide Team and has rich experience. If you need to mobilize resources, you can contact Supervisor Ruiz. I've already informed both of them, but try your best to handle things yourselves, understood?"
Mark: "Leave it to us, we won't disturb your honeymoon."
Julia: "Yes, rest assured, we can handle it."
Jimmy nodded: "OK, then I'll head back now. Call me if anything comes up. Mark, pay attention to the time, and meet me at Staten Island in advance."
When Jimmy gets married, the Manhattan office will experience quite a vacancy. It's already confirmed that Ruiz and Mahong will be attending, leaving Jimmy's team even emptier, with Mark being the groomsman and Julia having also received an invitation, along with Dave and the administrative head Tim Dunn.
Mrs. Mason from the Public Affairs Office, due to her faith, will not attend the church wedding ceremony, but she will join the evening banquet, which is a significant gesture as Jimmy only worked under her for a few months.
Though it seems that not many people are on leave, since those taking off occupy key positions, no doubt if there's an urgent incident on that day, the FBI office will be quite bustling...
Jimmy left the office and drove back to the hotel, reflecting on the recent unusual situations along the way. Although everything seemed normal with no internal personnel transfers, two matters related to Mahong appeared to have gone quiet, with Jimmy not receiving any updates, nor did Mahong notify him of any follow-up.
One was the suspected jailbreak case overseen by DHS, where the intelligence officer of the Demon Wolf Mercenary Group and two other surviving partners had already been sentenced; the trial went relatively smoothly. The individual Jimmy had spared when initially trading artwork had already transitioned from the hospital to prison, successfully surviving. His charges were assaulting a federal agent, attempted murder, and armed robbery, which were relatively lighter among the three.
Intelligence officer Heidel, having struck a deal, along with another companion wounded by Jimmy, were both charged with second-degree murder, attempted kidnapping, and armed robbery, as they could not evade the two fatalities of Falcknei's bodyguards during their attempted abduction. Thus, their charges were much heavier than the third individual's, though definitely better than first-degree murder.
They have been transferred to a second-level high-security federal prison, and there were no jailbreak attempts during either detention in New York or the transfer process. Jimmy even specifically confirmed with Mahong that they are currently recuperating in prison.
Could the NSA and DHS intelligence be incorrect? Or did the Demon Wolf Mercenary Group decide to abandon the jailbreak? Unfortunately, since the matter is handled on the DHS side, further information can only be obtained if they initiate contact with the FBI.
The other matter involves Neil, and Jimmy occasionally monitored Mahong and Neil's whereabouts, though he hadn't uncovered any issues recently. It's uncertain what headquarters intends to do now, with less than two months remaining until Neil's electronic ankle monitor is removed.
Jimmy returned to the hotel and relaxed by taking off his suit. His apartment had been newly redecorated during this time period, with furniture replaced; it would be the post-marriage home for Jimmy Yang and Nia Young, so Jimmy had been staying at the hotel during this redecoration period while Nia went back to her own home.
Some sensitive items from Jimmy's home were packed and sent to a mini storage, and tomorrow, some necessary items would be moved back. He would be quite busy in the coming days.
The church rehearsal had already taken place once before, with both the groomsmen and bridesmaids going through the process to ensure the wedding would go smoothly. Priest White hadn't conducted a wedding ceremony for newlyweds in quite a while, so even he needed to familiarize himself, requiring reminders from other priests for his sermon during the ceremony. Suffice it to say, the rehearsal was quite a mess.
