章 214: 196 Going Home

The night of assignments had finally come, and Jimmy had filled out his wishlist during the day, indicating where he hoped to be placed. By evening, he would receive an envelope containing his future workplace.

Each prospective agent was required to stand in front of the other agents-in-training, open their envelope, and share their results. This was a decades-old tradition that had not changed, something every class at the FBI Academy participated in.

Having lived together for several months, everyone was familiar with each other. Those who received assignments in big city offices were met with applause and cheering, and even those headed to more remote locations were encouraged with clapping. Either way, there was no lack of enthusiasm.

Jimmy opened his envelope, "Manhattan Office, New York City, New York State," he raised his envelope and laughed joyfully.
