Dustin couldn't help but yell, "Damn it, couldn't you have come back a few minutes earlier? I'm almost done. "
Elsa didn't care. She was too close to Dustin. "Then I'll take it back and have it for dinner. It's a Michelin star restaurant's specialty. "
Dustin said, "Well, I think I can eat another cow. Right, why is Luke treating us? "
Elsa said, "He's very happy that one of his uncles is visiting him."
Dustin nodded. "Okay, you can go now."
Elsa decisively left.
After Elsa left, Dustin said in relief, "Well, it's best if you don't tell him it's because of the reward."
Suddenly, Elsa returned. "Boss, do you have a new case … Huh, what reward?"
Dustin said solemnly, "Oh, I'm talking about the last case. Takagi donated a huge sum of money to improve our transportation and communication system. So, Luke might get a new car. You don't have anything to say about that, do you? "
Elsa said, "That's what he deserves. It's good that he has a car, so that he doesn't have to ride with me every day. I feel more and more like a driver. "
Dustin asked, "What new case did you just say?"
Elsa said, "I don't have any important cases on hand. So, boss, do you have any new cases?"
Dustin's eyes flashed for a moment, and he found a file on the table. "Take Luke with you to investigate this case tomorrow."
Elsa read it for a moment, then raised her head suspiciously. "Boss, you want us to investigate this case?"
Dustin thought for a moment and gestured at Elsa. She immediately closed the door and locked it.
Of course, the blinds weren't closed; it was only to drown out their conversation.
Pondering for a moment, Dustin said, "To be honest, this case is meant to let you and Luke go out for a while. You might not know this, but the case in Nakatomi Plaza is quite a big deal. "
Elsa found that odd. "But … didn't they arrest all the suspects?"
Dustin shook his head. "The point is that it's reasonable for the FBI to ask for all the suspects in the name of Hans's drone operation. Nobody knows how many bad things Hans and his gang have done. If the retrial revealed other connections, then there would be a lot of merit. At that time, the FBI will be able to make up for the mistake they made in the Nakatomi Building and even make a great contribution. "
Elsa understood that, but she still found it odd. "What does that have to do with Luke?"
Dustin smiled bitterly. Even though the door was closed, he couldn't help but lower his voice. "The boss has connections in the FBI. I heard that they're ready to recruit Luke."
Elsa's mouth fell open. "What?! How is this possible? "
Luke's identity as a detective had been obtained by Tony Stark through connections, and the requirements for an agent in the FBI were much higher.
There were many requirements to be a federal agent. At the very least, they had to have a clean background, no criminal records, a college degree, various specialties, several years of police experience in the police system, and outstanding performance.
Of course, the FBI also had its own specially-recruited personnel, such as Luke's uncle. It was very easy for Old Greyson to join the FBI, because he was a professional.
But to let the FBI recruit him directly? Or was it Luke, a young man who had only been a police officer for half a year?
Elsa didn't think it was possible.
Dustin, however, said solemnly, "No, it's said that Luke caught the eye of an FBI captain during a joint operation with them a few months ago. The captain even wrote a report and put him on the list of potential members to watch out for."
Elsa was lost for words.
It wasn't strange that the FBI was trying to recruit Luke. They were just using it as an excuse to poach Luke and take credit for it.
Once they dug out Luke, most of the credit for this case would rightfully go to the FBI, since it was their agent who cracked the case.
Although everybody knew that the FBI had stolen Luke's credit, as long as Luke became their "agent," they could write that in the report and show it to their boss.
Elsa couldn't help but curse, "Sh * t! These guys are really good at playing dirty tricks. "
Dustin smiled bitterly. "So, you're taking him out as a vacation?"
Seeing Elsa's conflicted expression, Dustin added, "Don't worry about delaying your matters. This is good for you."
Elsa was stumped. "Are you saying …"
Dustin said, "I'm not saying anything. It's just a vacation. If you have a boyfriend, you can ask him to spend ten days with you on a romantic trip to France. What do you think? "
Elsa gnashed her teeth. "I don't have a boyfriend! All I'm asking is, is there any extra allowance from the bureau? "
Dustin felt a headache coming on. "How about we give you twenty dollars a day?"
Elsa said, "… Okay, but don't call me after we're there. It's not even enough for international calls."
Dustin wasn't afraid of anything. "We really can't give you more. You can only claim it as other expenses."
Elsa said, "Okay, then I'll consider it a vacation."
Dustin nodded. "Okay."
He thought to himself, I won't call you, but I'll call Luke. That guy is richer than you are. Who knows how many rewards Takagi has given him?
Dustin's attitude made Elsa decide that she and Luke would go their separate ways on this trip.
Elsa felt that it wouldn't be a bad idea to go to France for a few days.
Only a lunatic would bring a boyfriend from Los Angeles to France! That wasn't the way to spend money.
Thus, Luke received the news that he would be flying to France at noon the next day.
Luke only had one reaction to the news: Are you out of your mind?
Since he was going to France the next day, he naturally slipped away and went home to pack his belongings before it got dark.
Before it got dark, Luke took a taxi to the civilian district that he had visited in the morning, and soon found a dilapidated apartment building.
Luke was wearing a hoodie at that moment, and he had even covered his face with a mask.
He quickly went to the highest rooftop, which was the fifth floor, and quietly approached what looked like a shack.
But a squeak broke the silence on the rooftop.
Luke sped up and reached the shack. He picked up a random stick and opened the door.
Inside, a dumbfounded and unkempt homeless man was staring at him.
Luke chuckled. "Let's make a bet. I bet you can't beat me."
As he spoke … Thud!
He hit the man's head with the stick, and the homeless man instantly passed out.
Luke looked at the system notification and shook his head. "It really isn't enough."
He splashed some water on the man's face to wake him up.
Then … Thud!
