Jimmy was well aware of the security chief's intentions, to exert pressure everywhere that could potentially embarrass the FBI, providing them with bargaining chips. But now the case involved a kidnapping, unrelated to Jimmy, so even if he wanted to negotiate, it would be impossible.
Everyone there was from the Miami office, not a single familiar face. As for Agent Wright on their side, he was merely a senior agent, in essence, just a foot soldier. To have any say as a senior agent, one would need a background; otherwise, only through distinguished service, like Jimmy back then, would it be possible.
Having a clear understanding of this, Jimmy didn't waste time with the security chief and immediately chose to investigate on his own. Anyway, the residence of the security personnel had already been clarified, though they didn't know where the missing security guard lived, it was just a matter of searching more thoroughly. There were only a dozen people in total, not difficult.
