Jimmy: "Hmm, but it'd be best to speed things up. I've been out for a month now, and this case has been dragging on for quite a while. Once too much time has passed, it gets really hard to investigate."
Dave: "I've told you before, some cases are destined to be long-term investigations. Plus, you've settled down, and you need to allocate some time for your family."
Jimmy: "Of course, I understand. I was just a bit anxious before."
Dave nodded. Jimmy was smart; there were some things that really didn't need to be fully articulated.
After business was done, the two chatted for a while longer, and Dave gave his opinion on Jimmy's next step in the investigation. The Los Angeles office hadn't given full authority; their people would initiate the initial investigation, and if there was any overlap with Jimmy's side, they would call Jimmy over to form a joint task force.
