Looking at the time, Jimmy immediately called Peter. Although he was acting, he had the authority. This time, he had to step forward and gather manpower. These people might need considerable time to handle this drug smuggling case.
Receiving Jimmy's call, Peter looked at Elizabeth with a helpless expression. He had less than two weeks before being transferred to Washington, D.C., and was currently planning future life in Washington, D.C. with Elizabeth at home. Suddenly, such a major case popped up, and the key was that the current investigation showed it couldn't be resolved in a short time.
Peter thought for a moment, directly called Special Agent in Charge (SAC) John Thompson, confirmed he was at home, got dressed, and left, leaving Elizabeth to continue planning their future life.
Since Peter's time at the Manhattan office was limited, for such a potentially long-term case, it was better for someone from above to handle it, or let the successor intervene in advance.
