Boom Town hadn't been peaceful recently.
Cats and dogs from several families had gone missing, and even two residents had gone missing, which boosted the mayor's lobbying efforts.
The scenery around them was rather beautiful after they entered the town.
Compared to the vast expanse of desolation in Texas, this place was at the junction of a plain and a mountain range. Behind the town in the distance was a mountain range, and the road they were on now was a relatively gentle hill.
Suddenly, there was a deafening noise. Luke frowned. Why did it sound so much like the young man with will-o '-the-wisp in his previous life?
A moment later, three off-road motorcycles let out a series of loud noises as they swept past his car.
Luke wasn't angry anymore.
They were motorcycles, and the road was still in the wilderness, so it was normal for them to be noisy.
However, a police car suddenly flashed its lights and caught up to them.
Luke slowed down and pulled to the side of the road.
Luke didn't pick up the pace again until the police car with the SUV passed by.
The police car didn't slow down at the same time as his car, nor did it make an American-style stop, which meant that it wasn't coming for him.
Several hundred meters later, Luke saw three motorcycles parked on the side of the road, and a police officer in a yellow uniform was writing out tickets to the three unlucky fellows.
Luke whistled. "Selina, she's the prettiest sheriff I've ever seen apart from you."
Selina rolled her eyes. "I'd be happier if you only complimented me, Luke."
Luke said, "Well, what I mean is, beautiful sheriff, don't you think of anything?"
Selina immediately got it. "Lisa's mother? OMG！ That's bullshit. Lisa is already twenty-two. How can her mother be so young and beautiful? "
Luke shrugged. "That's why I'm amazed. If Lisa's mother is really Lisa, she should be forty at least, right? "
Selina said, "Unless her mother had a taste of the forbidden fruit and gave birth to her when she was fifteen, she should be over forty."
As they talked, they had already parked the car behind a police car on the side of the road.
They opened the door and got out of the car. When they passed by the police car, Selina sighed and said, "That should be it. Other than Lisa's family, I don't think there are two beautiful female sheriffs in this town, and they both happen to have a beautiful daughter and son. "
Luke also saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl and a five-year-old boy in the police car. Both of them were equally good-looking and definitely inherited.
More importantly, whether it was the sheriff or the two in the car, their facial features were somewhat similar to Y'lisabet's.
After issuing the ticket, the beautiful sheriff walked back with a grim expression.
When she saw Luke and Selina standing next to the car, she smiled politely and asked, "Are you in trouble? Did the car break down? Or do you want to ask for directions? "
Luke said with a smile, "You must be Ms. Samantha Parker, right?"
The sheriff nodded. "Yes, you are …?"
Luke said, "Ms. Parker, we're from Los Angeles. We're Lisa's colleagues. She must've told you about us, right?"
Samantha looked at them in surprise. "You're … Lisa's colleagues?" She felt that Luke looked more like her eldest daughter's college juniors.
Selina, on the other hand, did look like a police detective.
Luke said, "I'm Luke Coulson, and this is Selina Hayek. Lisa must've mentioned our names before."
Selina nodded. "Nice to meet you, Ms. Parker."
Samantha finally confirmed their identities. "Huh? You're here today?"
Luke shrugged. "Lisa is doing a good job with us. She said she needed help, so of course we had to come as soon as possible. If you don't mind, can we talk somewhere else in town? "
Samantha came back to herself. It wasn't convenient to talk on the road outside of town. She nodded and said, "Then you can follow my car and come to my place. Is that okay?"
Luke nodded with a smile.
More than ten minutes later, the two cars stopped in front of a bungalow one after the other.
They got out, and Selina couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow, this place is so beautiful."
Luke looked around and couldn't help but nod.
Not far away was a desolate and heavy mountain range with a beautiful shape.
There were also some trees and a large, flat lawn. A typical North American bungalow was located on the flat ground in front of the mountain.
The appearance of the bungalow was very simple, but it was also very spacious. A conservative estimate was that it was more than two hundred square meters. The courtyard outside the house was surrounded by low and sparse white wooden strips, and the grass was very neatly trimmed.
It could be seen that the owner of the house was patient, hardworking, and had a good sense of aesthetics. She was Elizabeth's mother, Ms. Samantha Parker.
Samantha was already in front of the door. She opened the door, and the pair of children entered the house. She greeted them, "Please come in."
Luke and Selina stopped talking and followed them into the house.
The decorations in the house were simple and didn't have much to do with. Everything was practical.
It was obvious that the house had been around for a long time. The decorations were old, but they were clean and tidy, giving off a warm family atmosphere.
Luke and Selina sat down on the couch in the living room. Samantha gave Luke a bottle of water, and Selina could only drink Coke.
Not many people in a small town in Arizona would drink such a strange drink.
There were only the three of them in the living room. Elizabeth's siblings had already gone back to their rooms.
Luke and Selina finally took out their badges and showed them to Samantha.
It was standard procedure that couldn't be omitted even for acquaintances, or their investigation might go awry.
Samantha didn't stand on ceremony. She looked at them carefully and finally returned the documents to them. Her expression became solemn. "What do you want to know?"
Luke asked, "Leaving aside the missing cats and dogs, what about the two missing people? Haven't you found them? "
Samantha shook her head. "No. Also, they live alone on the edge of town, so we can't be sure if they're camping on their own or if they're in danger. "
Luke asked, "Do you know anything about what your son said?"
Samantha was surprised. "Mike? What did he say? "
Luke and Selina looked at each other, lost for words.
Mike obviously didn't think that Samantha would believe him, so he didn't say anything.
Luke thought for a moment and asked, "Can I talk to Mike in private?"
Samantha hesitated for a moment, but looking at Luke's likable appearance and temperament, she nodded and agreed.
Luke asked where Mike's room was and went there himself, leaving Selina and Samantha to talk.
