After chatting with Darcy for half an hour, Luke told her some of the things to take note of during the emergency drill.
As for the three most important points of cowardice, he combined them with real cases from his career as a detective and analyzed them with reason and evidence.
Darcy had no resistance at all to the three-pronged set of Mental Communication, Basic Hypnosis, and Elementary Pheromone Control. When she encountered something she couldn't handle, the first thing she would do was "follow the rules."
This could be considered a small compensation from Luke to the girl.
As long as she was cowardly enough and stayed away from Thor, the chances of her being unlucky weren't high.
There was nothing else Luke could do.
Darcy was out with her teacher, Dr. Jane, to earn credits.
She was also a freshman at Yale, and was under a lot of pressure from her studies. That was why she didn't rest during Christmas and came out with her teacher to earn credits.
In a place like Yale, there were plenty of examples of people who couldn't complete their studies and ruined their futures and lives.
Now that there wasn't any danger, Luke couldn't just rely on his mouth to make Darcy give up on those extremely important credits.
After the intelligence and safety training, Luke returned to work at the tool shed on the ranch.
Today was December 30th, at the end of 2004.
With Dustin's help, it was only the third day of Luke's leave at the police department.
If there wasn't an emergency, he could take five days off before going back.
Thus, he wasn't in too much of a hurry.
If it was five days later, he could only take it one day at a time. At most, he would have to go back to work in New York in a week.
At that time, he might have to use some tricks to get that super troublesome crown prince to some sparsely populated place.
In any case, there weren't many places in Texas, but sparsely populated places were everywhere.
Thor, who was in a state of depression, probably wouldn't care too much about this. Dr. Jane and Dr. Selvig were also in the field of scientific research. With a huge sponsorship fee, it wouldn't be a problem for them to take Thor around the remote countryside a few more times.
In the afternoon, Selina's voice rang out on the channel. "Luke, look at the sky over Shackelford."
Luke instantly appeared at the door of the tool shed and looked at Shackelford to the southeast.
A huge cloud suddenly appeared in the clear afternoon sky.
It appeared alone in the sky not far from Shackelford, and then spun like a tornado before falling to the ground.
Luke knew that it definitely wasn't a tornado. A tornado couldn't be a straight line from the cloud to the ground.
Little Snail also reminded him, "Sir, there's an abnormal energy reaction ten kilometers to the southeast."
He took out his fake phone, adjusted the medium-sized drone in the sky, and looked into the distance.
Soon, the fake tornado disappeared as suddenly as it had appeared.
On the image sent back by the drone, they clearly saw four people appear at the spot where the "tornado" landed. There was a huge circle pattern on the ground, and the circle was full of neat patterns.
Luke smacked his lips. "I'll take care of them. Tell Robert not to interrogate them. Just pretend they don't exist."
Selina said, "Understood."
Luke got into Robert's F150 and sped toward town.
A few minutes later, the F150 rushed into the small town. When it was still a distance away from the four people, it slowed down to a normal speed and drove unhurriedly to the side of the four people in strange clothes.
Luke got out of the car and walked to the four people on the side of the road.
The four people in strange clothes were talking to a thin old lady. They didn't look fierce, but they looked a little … silly?
Frowning, Luke walked over and said to the old granny, "Lucy, you're being naughty again."
Granny Lucy had a helpless expression on her face. "I, cough, I'm not feeling well. I want to buy some medicine …"
In the end, looking at the same helpless expression on Luke's face, she stopped explaining and turned her head slightly. "Fine, I haven't been out much these days. I'm just out for a walk today."
What could Luke say?
Lucy was his neighbor, and had even saved Claire.
If it wasn't for that reason, he wouldn't even care if she went out. They weren't friends.
He could only say, "Alright, remember not to go too far from home. These are … "
Lucy heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that Luke wasn't nagging her. She liked Luke very much. After all, he was so sensible, handsome, and kind to the elderly. He was so much better than her own granddaughter.
She hurriedly said, "They asked me if I'd seen a blond guy. I haven't, so I want them to go to the police department and ask."
Lucy winked at him.
Luke was impressed. Lucy, it's really a waste for you to be a housewife.
An old granny in her sixties didn't bat an eyelid in the face of four obviously abnormal people, and even pointed them to the police department with a smile.
If these people were ordinary lunatics, they would be like sheep walking into a tiger's den.
In the past two days, Shackelford had been putting on an emergency show, and there were more than two teams of police officers at the police department at any time, ready to deal with any situation.
If Granny Lucy was thirty, no, twenty years younger, Luke would be tempted to pull her into his team.
The older the ginger, the spicier.
Thinking that, he winked at Lucy. "Then leave it to me."
Lucy smiled and nodded. "That's good. Remember to give them directions. Oh, boys, and this beautiful girl, let this kid tell you. I'm going home to make dinner for the old man. "
The four of them didn't have any objections, and the only woman even smiled at Lucy and nodded in thanks.
Watching Lucy walk away unhurriedly, Luke turned around to look at the four of them. They were indeed dressed very retro, but also very fashionable.
The four of them were wearing what looked like ancient armor, and the cold weapons they were holding were indeed very retro, but in some comic convention, they would be very fashionable cosplayers.
However, these people were probably really "old," and not cospies.
Thinking that, Luke smiled and said to the only woman, "Gentlemen, I'm the sheriff here. May I ask why you're here in Shackelford?"
The only woman found the young man in front of her very pleasing to the eye, as if he were the big kid next door.
Almost without hesitation, she said, "We're looking for Thor."
The smile on Luke's face didn't change, but he already said in his heart, That's right, these four might be some prince's cameo teammates.
Their main role should be to buy time for the protagonist, and then use their own strength as a reference to highlight the prince's prowess. Then, they would cheer and clap in celebration, and in the end, the bros, the bros, and the prince would return home together.
That would be a classic happy ending.
Still smiling, Luke continued to ask the only woman of the four. "Are you his friends?"
