While Jimmy was resting, Lambert couldn't get any rest. Jimmy had been in Dallas for nearly two months already, as an intern agent on cross-district assignment. This duration was so outrageous that Hughes had made several calls lately, pushing Lambert to release him.
Lambert genuinely liked Jimmy. He didn't cut corners or play tricks, managed everything assigned to him properly without mistakes. He had a good personality and character. He devoted himself to solve a shooting case for his former boss in just a week, and incidentally presented the small Midtown office with a big gift—the capture of William, which directly solved several pending cases.
Key was the fact that his combat skills were extremely high, and he even had special abilities, acknowledged by Priest Horton—a super scarce resource. Their whole office didn't have anyone like him; all the people with special abilities were in the headquarters' special squads, and they had to ask others for help in emergency situations.
