Frank did not proceed towards the cabin; he turned his head to look at Jimmy, "Call Kodaiski now."
Jimmy took out a burner phone and directly redialed Tom's number, "Tom, Frank wants to talk to you now."
After Tom responded, Jimmy handed the phone to Frank, who walked away to take the call. Jimmy didn't follow, as it was clearly a call to verify his identity.
It seemed like it was just an identity check, but perhaps Tom and Frank talked about something else as well, as the call lasted a few minutes. At last, Frank hung up and walked back.
Frank returned the phone to Jimmy and looked him up and down, then frowned and shook his head, "I really can't tell you are her son, not a bit like her, but alright, let me explain the situation."
As Frank walked back, he continued, "You know I retired from the CIA because I got old and no longer take on missions. I initially settled in Little Rock, then moved to Kansas City, where I met Sara.
On Christmas Eve, I was attacked by an assassination squad at home, and afterward, I took Sara to find Joe, who helped investigate the identity of the assassination squad, as well as their suspected involvement in the killing of a New York Times journalist a few days earlier, and then it's from the journalist's clues that we obtained that list."
After obtaining the list, we first went to see Marvin. Although he was on the list, he was sure he wouldn't die. Marvin had some previous documents saved, and the investigation revealed that many names on the list had been involved in a mission in Guatemala."
We met Gabriel Singer and got some information from him; he was the pilot during the Guatemala mission, responsible for getting someone out, but he was killed in front of us. After that, we went to Washington, D.C., to find Ivan and with his help, we entered Langley and obtained the complete files on the Guatemala mission.
The Alexander Dunning we visited today was the only name on the list who had not participated in the Guatemala mission. From him, we learned the reason we were being targeted: the current Vice President Robert Stanton, was the person Gabriel Singer had taken out, and they are targeting us to cover up the Guatemala mission because the Vice President intends to announce his candidacy for the next president, and must clear his dark past."
Afterward, under Joe's cover, we left Alexander Dunning's villa, but Sara was captured."
That's the whole event process, do you understand?"
Frank looked at Jimmy as they had reached the cabin's porch by now.
Jimmy nodded, "So, a person who once worked with you guys and later became the Vice President, now to clear his dark past and run for president, has to silence everyone involved in the massacre of the small village and destroy the files.
You all survived because the people they sent have already been eliminated by you. And the reason Alexander Dunning was involved is because he's the Vice President's biggest supporter and financier, right?"
Frank, "Exactly, that's the case. Regardless, we have to deal with the Vice President, but right now, we need him in exchange for Sara."
Jimmy, "There's another issue, has the CIA not fully launched a pursuit against you guys? It feels like it's just been minor disturbances. It's been almost two days since we left the Langley building, and they still haven't found us, there's no sense of urgency."
Frank, "Of course, if the CIA were really coming after us full-force, they would have pinpointed our location by now. Two reasons, first, the CIA doesn't have domestic enforcement authority, many of their investigative efforts require cooperation from other agencies, and requesting cooperation involves many procedures. Although some can be supplemented later, a clear cause is needed. Second, the Vice President can't directly arrange for CIA people to do such things publicly, it must be that some supervisor privately arranged for people to take care of it. Any more questions?"
As Jimmy shook his head, Frank turned and opened the door to enter the room.
Jimmy took a seat near the fireplace; they were discussing the plan to kidnap the Vice President, and Jimmy had already decided not to participate. It was too risky, and he might expose himself if he got involved. Let them handle it themselves.
"Frank?" Victoria looked at Frank and his return with an inquiring expression.
Frank shook his head, "You wouldn't believe what I just heard. Jimmy, come here."
Jimmy got up and walked to the table; Frank put his arm around his shoulder, "Look at him, whom does he remind you of?"
Victoria, Marvin, and Ivan all stared at Jimmy, previously thinking Jimmy was just a subordinate. Could there be something special about him?
Frank, "Our old friend, Veronique Durand, he is her son."
Ivan spoke first, "Holy shit! Are you sure?"
Frank, "Yes, we've confirmed it."
Ivan, "Veronica's son is Asian? Kid, who is your father?"
Jimmy shook his head, "I don't know. I can't even remember her appearance and our past life."
Ivan asked with a frown, "Why not?"
Jimmy, "Drug effects, it's a secret, I can't tell."
Frank released Jimmy and told Ivan, "Don't worry, he really is Nika's son. Okay, let's continue confirming the plan."
Jimmy turned and walked away from the table, back to the fireplace. He was considering when to ask them about leaving. It seemed they all knew Veronica, but why would Tom reveal this? Hadn't Tom always been covering for him?
