Kate: I Beg You!

Late at night.

Adam's apartment.

"NYPD!"

A smart and capable policewoman walked in, guns in both hands, shouting loudly.

"Don't move."

A figure silently appeared behind her, a gun pressed against her back.

"Oh no, we've been tricked."

The policewoman had a bad feeling.

Boom!

Outside, lightning flashed and thunder roared, wind howled and rain poured down, like a classic background music, foreshadowing the policewoman's impending misfortune.

No one yelled "cut".

Because the director was unavailable.

Fortunately, they were all professionals. The most difficult long take in film and television shooting was used with ease at this moment, and it was done in one take without any post-editing.

The person who arrived was none other than policewoman Kate Beckett. She had rushed over after receiving Adam's report of his surrender, never expecting to find herself in such a perilous situation.

I don't know how much time passed.

I beg you!

"No mercy!"

Faced with Kate's pleas for mercy, Adam remained as cold as Arya: "Who gave you the right to talk about me behind my back!"

"I really didn't say anything."

Kate couldn't keep up the act anymore and laughed, "I'm just telling the truth, do you dare deny it? Don't tell me you made a false police report for no reason... Did Jessie say something wrong?"

"..."

Adam was speechless.

Kate has such a keen sense of smell; Scent of a Woman.

Even though she had never met any of Adam's other good friends, she had already numbered Robin and the others based on her nose, and even a bath couldn't change that.

"How did you and Agent Paige become good friends?"

Having already acted out the role, Adam stopped dwelling on Kate's behind-the-scenes gossip and quickly changed the subject.

"They both enforce the law in New York, and they're both women, isn't it normal for them to know each other?"

Kate stretched lazily, a half-smile on her face, "You're very interested in Jessie?"

"I'm just curious."

Adam laughed and said, "After all, she was the first FBI agent to come to my door. As a law-abiding citizen, let alone meeting the legendary FBI, I was terrified even by meeting you officers. I couldn't sleep at night until I found out what was going on."

"Ha! I think you're being sarcastic."

Kate pouted and said, "You're afraid of us?"

"Of course I'm afraid."

Adam said seriously, "You have discretionary power, and even traffic control power. You can just lie there and wait for us to drive by, then follow us directly and say we're speeding, forcing us to stop."

What followed was even more frightening.

We must do exactly as you say, even if some actions are extremely insulting, we must strictly comply, otherwise you will use the pretext of feeling threatened to shoot and kill us.

Even if we strictly abide by the rules, if you still have a vague feeling that you are threatened, you can still shoot and kill us.

This is you.

The FBI was even scarier; they didn't need to sneak around and force us to stop in their cars, they just knocked on the door.

How could we not be afraid?

"..."

Kate's lips twitched; she felt deeply offended.

But she had nothing to say.

Because what Adam said was true.

This kind of thing happens quite often every year.

But we can't stop police officers from doing this just because of a few bad apples, can we?

You should know that the United States has freedom of gun ownership. Without this discretionary power, it's easy for someone to pull out a gun from who-knows-where and kill you.

This is a bloody lesson learned from the deaths of many kind-hearted police officers.

But when the forest is big, you'll find all sorts of people.

Some people use their position to settle personal scores, targeting anyone they dislike; such things certainly happen.

As a truly upright police officer, she also deeply resented the corrupt elements among them.

"It's not as exaggerated as you say. Police officers who break the law without cause will also be held accountable..."

"But that's on the premise that I'm still alive."

Adam complained, "What's the use of someone helping me hold someone accountable when I'm gone? And who knows if my stupid third brother Gabe will just forgive them on my behalf."

Moreover, even prosecution isn't guaranteed to be effective. They might get paid leave, wait more than a decade before sentencing, or use various bargaining tactics to continuously reduce their sentences after being sentenced.

The most absurd thing is that after fighting a lawsuit for more than ten years, finally being brought to justice, and then being granted a pardon before even going to prison.

You're the top female officer at the NYPD, tell me, is this true? Should I be afraid?

"You're a celebrity, you don't need to be afraid..."

Kate smiled wryly and said, "Alright, I know what you mean."

"Oh!"

Adam sneered.

"Stop laughing."

Kate complained, "It's all the rotten stuff that you super-rich people have created."

"That's true."

Adam laughed and said, "Let's not talk about this heavy topic. Let's go back to your good friend, Agent Paige."

"What did you say about her?"

Kate wasn't very interested. "What do you want to know?"

"She doesn't look very old. How did she get into the FBI at such a young age?"

Adam asked curiously.

"Um."

Kate nodded. "Jessie was recruited by the FBI before he even graduated from college."

"You were specially admitted to university?"

Adam asked in surprise, "Does she have some special ability? Or is the FBI short-staffed, making it so easy to get hired?"

Ten years later, Jessie Paige was working in background checks as an office clerk.

For agencies like the FBI, the real elites are in the field.

This doesn't make sense at all that someone so young was specially recruited.

"Confidential."

Kate said lazily.

Is it really necessary?

Adam scoffed, "Everything is confidential? You said it, and no one else knows. What's wrong with saying it? You don't think I'm a spy, using my Male Honey Trap to extract secrets from you, do you?"

"Hehe."

Kate laughed when she heard this, "You have the nerve to say that about using your good looks? Male Honey Trap, I'll tell you, but you can't tell anyone else, and you can't tell Jessie either."

"I'll give a four!"

Adam raised his hand.

"I don't know very well either."

Kate laughed and said, "I just heard that when Jessie was in college, she went on a trip and encountered Deformed Cannibal. Almost all of her companions died, but she calmly fought back and killed them. She was noticed by the FBI director who rushed over and was specially recruited. Of course, I guess there was also an intention to keep it a secret."

Many things are not suitable to be fully disclosed to the public, otherwise it may cause discomfort or even panic.

Necessary controls are indeed reasonable.

However, often, necessity becomes absolute, which is repulsive.

Just like S.H.I.E.L.D.., it was established with good intentions, but it went astray as it went along.

That makes sense.

The boss is Motherf***er Hero, how much morality and civilization can he possibly have?

"Yeah?"

Adam was surprised.

This plot is a bit like a female protagonist in a horror movie.

However, Adam felt relieved when he thought about Jessie Paige's good looks.

It's common knowledge that the female lead in a horror movie needs to have both a great figure and good looks; this is the primary reason why horror movies are so popular.

If you're not pretty or have a bad figure, who will care whether you live or die?

"Um."

Kate nodded. "A phrase that Jessie often said, which was also a quote from her companion who died there, was that the economically depressed areas of the United States are breeding grounds for evil."

This kind of thing happens all over the United States; otherwise, the FBI wouldn't be involved in handling it.

The judicial system in the United States is very complex.

State police, city police, and county police often ignore the FBI.

Because the FBI has no jurisdiction over them.

When a major case occurs, the FBI likes to step in and take the lead and credit, while the local police will resist, and the two sides will engage in a power struggle.

Cases that cross state lines fall under the jurisdiction of the FBI.

Locals are familiar with the legends surrounding such Deformed Cannibal, and most wouldn't dare to commit such a heinous act.

They're usually tourists from out of state who like thrills; they're asking for trouble and they'll die.

If more victims come from out of state, then it falls under the jurisdiction of the FBI.
