After dealing with Caitlin, Jimmy could finally relax. Caitlin's words were very clear; she said the sa thing to everyone. It seems Caitlin left so trace when checking Sullivan's information, which might have led to an investigation being discovered.
Sullivan and Greg died in a car together. Sullivan was not a particularly special person, but Greg would definitely attract investigators. If a correlation investigation does lead to Caitlin, there's a good chance Jimmy will be implicated. Caitlin's words are a hint to Jimmy to prepare for possible investigations and to refine his own investigative justification.
This is sowhat troubleso; Sullivan was an interdiary. Any angle which involves him will trigger a targeted investigation, and the direction of the investigation is definitely not what Jimmy wants.
Rick might be linked to the stumbling block plan, but why does Jimmy know about the background of the stumbling block plan? Correspondingly, there will need to be an investigation on how the intelligence was leaked, which is even more troubleso.
Roy Nelson, the person tracking and watching Jas, was arranged by Sullivan. For an FBI headquarters detective, appearing near the forr county police chief's house to conduct surveillance might cause a bad impact that could extend into the FBI, which is also very troubleso.
As for Greg, Jimmy obviously can't directly tell people that he had a grudge against Greg. After all, everything related to Greg was communicated to Jimmy through Tom, and he had no clues to relate himself to Greg, no way to justify himself.
Back ho, Jimmy pondered for a long ti and finally could only target Roy Nelson. At least Jimmy has a label of great respect for his old boss; after determining that problems could arise through phone communication, he ca to handle his old boss's problem. This counts as a comparatively presentable reason, though there are still so loopholes, like how to rush back to Little Rock, but at least it's stronger than the other two clues.
It can only be this way. Jimmy is just one person, and there's nobody to offer suggestions. Mistakes are inevitable in certain aspects, as long as they don't affect the results too much.
With the matter resolved, Jimmy could finally relax temporarily. This also ant he would resu his normal life. He didn't plan to go back to work imdiately. Hughes told him to finish dealing with things before returning to work. There were still so loose ends, and it would be problematic to be investigated after returning to work, causing too much damage.
After communicating with Nia, he finally confird his day of suffering, attending the upcoming weekend family gathering with Nia.
Regarding Nia's dad, Jimmy had previously investigated but only had basic information. His hobbies needed temporary discussion with Nia. As a police departnt administrator, Jimmy found it hard to choose a gift. After determining that Nia's family was not against alcohol, he decided to go with a bottle of wine. It was easier and straightforward because he owned a bar, making it simple to ask Woody to pick a good bottle.
As for Nia's mom, who is a traditional Arican family housewife, she worked as a magazine editor during her youth and enjoys literature. This hobby made Jimmy feel quite puzzled; he wasn't a literature enthusiast himself. Currently, he was only nominally a community college graduate, which wasn't highly impressive anywhere.
A traditional Arican housewife might appreciate a box of homade cookies. Jimmy had cooked quite a bit himself in the past two years and learned a lot about making Arican desserts. He needed to think carefully about whether to go with cookies or chocolate cake.
That evening, Jimmy ca to the bar and found Woody: "Woody, I need help!"
Woody: "Oh! What happened?"
Jimmy: "I need a good bottle of liquor, sothing impressive to gift."
Woody: "To whom?"
Jimmy: "Nia's family, either wine or champagne, whiskey would also work."
Woody looked at Jimmy speechlessly: "O...K, when do you need it?"
Jimmy: "Within the next couple of days, it's urgent."
Woody sighed; the ti was too short, and finding a good bottle outside might not happen, "Co with ."
In the warehouse behind the bar, Woody moved aside so bottles to reveal a wooden box behind, "Listen, this bottle is mine, not the bar's. 1990 Romanee-Conti, Burgundy red wine from France. There was a low grape yield in 1990, so there aren't many of these bottles."
Jimmy opened the box, glanced inside, then closed it again. He didn't know much about wine, but if Woody cherished it, it was surely good. "Thanks. How much for this bottle? I'll reimburse you."
Woody's mouth turned down, his expression clearly displeased, "About ten thousand."
Jimmy was speechless; you're a bartender, you don't earn much salary, buying such wine is why you're having a hard ti! "OK, I'll compensate you. Anything else?"
Woody: "This should be enough; wine is quite versatile, suitable for gifting."
Jimmy: "I see there's still a few boxes, give another bottle."
Woody was speechless: "I've collected these over the years, I'm not giving them, let's go, let's go."
Jimmy: "At least tell what else is here, the most prized bottle."
Woody sighed: "Alright, I can tell you, but don't even think about targeting it. There's also a bottle of 1964 Black Bowmore Scotch Whisky."
Jimmy shrugged, not bad, reservation confird. The two restored the warehouse arrangent and left the warehouse.
The wine for Nia's dad was sorted out; such a wine displayed on the rack should satisfy him, leaving just the task of sorting out her mom.
