Jimmy left Mrs. Mason's office and went straight home after work.
This time, Tom asked him to go to DC, probably to resolve the issue of the CIA identity. He might need to go to Langley, so before work on Friday morning, he opened the safe and took out the CIA identity card. If going to Langley, this thing is essential; otherwise, he would need to go through identification, involving too many people.
After leaving Washington Airport, Jimmy headed to the nearby parking lot, where the car he had left before was conveniently available. Once he got into the car, he called Tom to arrange a meeting at a hotel.
Since Tom had completely resolved his revenge issue and conveniently gained a usable public identity, he could stay at the hotel so openly. In the past, he would likely have chosen a place like a motel, as those places were relatively safer for him.
Jimmy parked the car and went directly to Tom's room door, knocking. Tom walked over and opened the door, "Come in."
