Chapter 1241 Goodbye Jessie
In Jack's previous life, "True Lies" was released a long time ago, so long ago that when he saw this movie on a videotape, he was still an underage kid.

Among his few memories, the only ones left were the scene where "Arnold" jumped off the building on horseback, later tricked his wife into doing a striptease and got beaten up, and the nuclear bomb explosion.

And although the dancing scene was not deleted from the videotape, the whole family watched it together at that time.

Even though his parents were open-minded enough not to cover his eyes, to be honest, little Jack's hair hadn't even started to grow at that time, so he didn't feel anything at all. It was not as impressive as the painting scene in "Titanic" a few years later.

Although he is indeed concerned about nuclear bombs and the like, there are many more famous agents in the United States than him, and there are a lot of experts in the field of counter-terrorism, so they don't need someone like him who specializes in criminal cases.

His female boss gave him a two-week vacation on the pretext of suspending him, and now it's not even halfway through, and he just wants to continue lying down and doing nothing.

It was a rare occasion that he came to Washington, DC not for business, so he also wanted to visit the Lincoln Memorial, see the large pond on the square, and stroll through the various museums.

My impression is that the nuclear bomb exploded on a small island far away from the coast, which obviously has nothing to do with Washington, DC. No matter how twisted the plot is, it should not end here.

The next morning, the two ladies left first. After Jack finished his breakfast delivered by room service, he leaned on the sofa and read the news on his mobile phone.

What happened last night was on the news. Police found two bodies in the restroom of a shopping mall next to the hotel. Both of them looked Middle Eastern. Reporters linked the incident of "Arnold" riding a horse and chasing a motorcycle together and suspected that there was a killer who tried to silence the witness but was killed instead.

After reading the news, Jack got up and went out, went downstairs, drove around aimlessly.

After strolling around the regular attractions, Jack walked into the National Gallery, which houses Raphael's Madonna, Van Gogh's self-portrait and Monet's "Water Lilies".

Someone finally remembered that he was a writer and needed to receive some artistic influence. He really couldn't understand abstract art, but he could still make sense of non-abstract things.

Therefore, Jack mainly browsed the West Building, which houses many European and American classical art works from the 13th to the early 20th century. As a result, he met an "acquaintance" unexpectedly after less than half an hour of browsing.

"Jack, is that you? Oh my God!" An uncontrollable exclamation sounded behind him. As soon as Jack turned around, he was hit by someone with the ball.

He steadily caught the girl who rushed towards him and turned a small circle to relieve the impact. Jack searched his brain for several seconds before he matched the energetic girl in front of him with an image in his memory.

"Jessie?"

The girl has changed a lot after not seeing her for a few years, not only in her figure, but also in her skin color, which has changed from wheat color to milky white.

"Uh, I remember you were studying in New Mexico?" Jack realized he was being stupid as soon as he said that. Judging from the time, the girl should have graduated.

"I graduated last year and am now pursuing a master's degree in psychology at Georgetown University." As if noticing the strange looks from the people around her, the girl Jessie giggled and ran out of the National Gallery of Art with Jack.

"My family originally lived in Washington, D.C., and I chose New Mexico Highlands University because I had a disagreement with my father."

The two found a cafe. The girl who unexpectedly met Jack seemed a little too excited and chattered about her experiences over the past few years.

The experience of encountering the cannibal in New Mexico obviously made the girl mature a lot. After graduation, she chose to return to her parents and continue her master's studies at the university near her home.

This time, Jack finally knew the girl's full name, Jessie Tasker, her father was a sales engineer for a software company, and her mother was an ordinary clerk. Jack also picked out some interesting parts from his experiences in the past few years and told the girl that he had successfully become an FBI agent, and that he had done well in the past few years, and was successfully promoted and had a raise.

When Jessie heard that he had actually received the distinguished Presidential Medal of Freedom, she looked worried.

She is no longer the freshman who would follow a few idiot classmates to the wilderness to do stupid things. Naturally, she knows the value of this kind of thing, and she is also more aware of how much risk Jack, as an FBI agent, has to take to get this medal.

After learning that someone was on vacation and had no plans to leave Washington, DC in the short term, Jessie volunteered to be his tour guide and take him to various art galleries and museums.

The cannibal incident in New Mexico can be regarded as Jack's first contact with the truly dangerous side of this world, and he also had a good impression of Jessie, who was extremely brave at the time.

The two spent the entire afternoon at the National Museum of Natural History. Compared to the New York Museum of Natural History, which has a giant dinosaur skeleton fossil at the entrance, the symbol of this place is a specimen of an African wild elephant with complete fur in the lobby on the first floor. It can be said that each has its own merits.

It is said that this is the largest wild African elephant ever discovered by humans. The museum has also worked hard to restore the original appearance of the African grasslands where it once lived.

However, the treasure of the museum is a large stone that Jack is more familiar with, the blue diamond "Hope" - the prototype of the "Heart of the Ocean" in "Titanic".

Tanzanite was used in imitation in the movie, and after Jack came back from his trip to Africa, he also bought several pieces of Tanzanite. Now, almost every girl around him owns a piece of jewelry made of this beautiful blue gem.

It was already evening when they finished visiting the museum. After having dinner at an old French restaurant in Georgetown, Jack took Jess, whose eyes were already thready, back to the hotel.

It was not until 8: the next morning that the girl got up in a panic, saying that she had classes in the morning and the professor was particularly strict.

Jack, who found it quite funny, drove Jessie back to get the book. He really felt that this girl was a little different from before. The two chatted a lot yesterday, and the girl seemed to be really working towards becoming an FBI agent.

She took Jack's advice seriously to heart, staying away from drugs, keeping a clean record, and studying hard.

"So, all the gold I gave you was deposited in the bank safe. Not only did you not spend a penny, but you now live with your parents?" Jack wondered if the girl was too obedient.

"I don't want to be like my dad, who can only be a salesman all his life and always looks proud and arrogant."

Jessie, who had been looking out of the car, suddenly signaled Jack to pull over. "We're at my house. Wait for me for ten minutes. I'll be right out."

This is a very ordinary middle-class residence, a single-family wooden house. At this moment, there is an old GMC "Canyon" pickup truck parked in the driveway in front of the house.

But the middle-aged fat man who was leaning against the car as if waiting for someone looked more and more familiar to Jack. When Jessie entered the door, she greeted him loudly, "Good morning, Uncle Gibson."

As if he noticed the Audi R8 parked on the side of the road, "Uncle Gibson" cast a puzzled look at Jack, then was slightly stunned, obviously recognizing him.

Jack also recognized this CIA man who claimed to be "Arnold's" partner the night before.
