Today, Luke was driving, and Selina was munching on a piece of cheese as she listened to him lecture her.
Cheese on its own was a type of food for many Americans, but not Luke.
But Luke couldn't do that. He had to eat it with other ingredients.
"Hey, you can eat it, but can't you buy some ingredients after work? Is it that hard to buy bread, milk, ham, and so on? You don't even buy milk? How lazy are you? "
Selina replied, "I don't know how to make them at home. Why would I buy them and let them spoil? I'm not lazy. Give me a list later, and I'll buy them all at the supermarket, okay? "
Luke was rendered speechless.
Now that he put it that way, it did seem to make a lot of sense. She didn't even have bread or milk? She was just being lazy!
But faced with the fearless woman, he wasn't in the mood to nag anymore.
For someone who didn't cook, it was pointless to buy a bunch of ingredients and put them in the fridge. In his previous life, a lot of fresh ingredients had spoiled in the fridge.
But he did switch places with Selina. Letting her drive, he wrote a shopping list and stuffed it into her bag.
Selina didn't complain. Instead, she was delighted. "Ah, darling, what are you going to make tonight? Can I buy some more ingredients? I'll make it up to you. "
Luke was lost for words. I'll be the one making everything.
They bickered until they reached the police department, and went off to find their partners.
It was normal for Elsa to arrive earlier than Luke.
She usually arrived half an hour early, while Luke was only ten to fifteen minutes early.
Seeing that Luke was here, she immediately got up. "Let's go to the boss's office and report the situation."
Luke followed her and asked casually, "Report what? About your pleasant vacation in the art capital?"
Elsa snorted. "I'm going to work on a case. Before we left last time, we basically finished all the cases we were working on. "
Luke nodded and didn't have any objections.
He wasn't scared of having too many cases, but he was scared of running out of them.
When they entered Dustin's office, the bigshot was already busy in his office.
Looking at the piles of files on the desk and Dustin, who hadn't touched a gun since he came to Los Angeles, Luke shook his head inwardly. That was why he didn't want a promotion at all.
The local police departments in the United States had different systems, but generally speaking, in big cities like Los Angeles, the low-level subbureau was actually similar to the police station in China.
The bureau chief of this kind of sub-bureau was basically a captain, and the police chief could be the leader of a certain department in the sub-bureau.
In fact, becoming a sergeant was the starting point of stepping into the management level of the police system. This was also one of the reasons why one had to take the civil service assessment to be promoted to sergeant.
Dustin, the boss of the Major Crimes Division of the Westside Sub-Bureau, was a lieutenant, which was one level higher than the sergeant. Also, there were rumors that he was going to be promoted to captain, and he was only one step away from being a manager who only talked but did not take action.
Therefore, even if he was only promoted to sergeant, managing subordinates, coordinating relationships, and assigning cases could be quite troublesome, and he would have to spend a lot of time playing bureaucratic and office politics.
Luke, on the other hand, didn't have that talent. He would rather accumulate his experience in solving cases and become a professional like Old Greyson.
If Old Greyson became an official, he wouldn't have enough political wisdom or skills, and he wouldn't be able to make the bigshots of the FBI and the CIA owe him favors.
Seeing them come in, Dustin put down the files in his hands and gestured for Luke to close the door.
After the door was closed, they greeted each other first.
Dustin said with a smile, "It seems that you had a good time."
Neither of them said anything. There was no need to brag about it.
Dustin simply said, before he got down to business. "You don't have any new cases, do you?"
Elsa nodded. "Yes, boss. We were away for a few days, and we wanted to see if there were any cases that needed our attention. "
Dustin was very satisfied.
Why would a woman like Elsa be put in such an important position? Her work attitude was very important, and she was excellent at solving cases. She was one of the most capable detectives under his command.
Without further ado, Dustin rummaged through the desk and took out a few files. "The first case is a little tricky. You can give it up if you don't find any leads in three to five days."
Luke and Elsa knew that this was a case with too few leads, but it was probably a serious case that had to be investigated.
Elsa immediately stepped forward and took the file.
Luke, however, looked at Dustin.
Noticing his look, Dustin asked with a smile, "What do you want?"
Luke chuckled. "Boss, I wanted to say that Elsa can take a look at the files today while I take care of some business. After all, I've been away for almost two weeks."
Stumped for a moment, Dustin then scolded him with a smile, "You've just come back, and you're already talking about slacking off in front of me? Didn't you have enough fun in Paris?"
Luke, on the other hand, had a cheeky smile on his face. "Boss, I'm thinking for Elsa's sake. Look at her. She's still jet-lagged. If she really goes out to work on a case, I'm afraid that she'll crash the car. It's better to let her read the files at home and adjust to the time difference. I'll be able to take care of something in the meantime. "
Dustin looked at Elsa, only to see that she didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Knowing that she had only just learned of Luke's plan, he wasn't angry. Rummaging through the desk for a moment, he took out a document. "You're too naughty! Take this and get lost! "
He didn't give a direct answer, but Luke knew that it was a sign of agreement.
He took the document and looked at it. His face was full of smiles. "Haha, boss, thank you. I won't have to ride in Elsa's car today. "
Dustin pointed at the door and didn't bother to say anything.
Luke saluted her with a smile and left. He didn't care why Elsa had stayed.
After Elsa had been away for so many days, it was only normal for her to talk to Dustin in private.
Luke, on the other hand, deliberately said that he was slacking off to take care of his personal business, which was how one of their own would behave.
Of course, if someone else did that, there might be negative consequences.
But Dustin knew Luke's attitude and ability when it came to cases, and he didn't slack off at all.
He had solved the robbery at Nakatomi Plaza in an hour. So what if he was slacking off?
Luke could openly slack off for a year just because of Sergei and Nakatomi Plaza.
It was also a skill to sit back and do nothing, provided that the credit was big enough.
The document that Dustin tossed over was proof of Luke's new car.
So, from today on, he would be able to drive around in his new car.
