Looking at Mike's gloomy face, Luke smiled and rubbed the boy's head. "Hey, I'm Lisa's reinforcements. Of course, I'll take care of the rescue. How old are you? Do you want to fight that monster? "
Mike was suspicious. "Are you really that good? Even Lisa came looking for you? "
Luke chuckled and lifted his jacket to reveal the holster under his armpit. He then flashed his badge. "See? Remember, keep it a secret. Only you and mom know about it. If other people find out that your sister asked us for help, she'll be in trouble. "
Mike nodded obediently.
Luke liked the boy very much. He was really smart, maybe even smarter than Y 'lisabet.
To be able to come up with such an analysis at such a young age, he was clearly quite talented in certain areas.
Also, he was very sensible, and wasn't a completely innocent kid.
After reminding the boy, Luke got up and left.
When he returned to the living room, Selina was the only one reading the files. Luke asked, "Where's Samantha?"
Selina didn't even raise her head. She simply pointed in a direction and said, "She's making dinner."
Luke nodded and walked over. "Samantha, can you come with us?"
A moment later, Samantha was surprised to hear Luke's request. "Huh? You're not going to eat anything before you go? I can come with you too. "
Luke shook his head solemnly. "Samantha, I think there's a very serious problem here. But we can't ask for help with what we have right now, so it's better for us to investigate as soon as possible. "
Hearing that, Samantha took off her apron. "I'll go with you."
Luke thought for a moment, then nodded. "That's fine. As for food, Selina, take out some snacks from our car for Ashley and Mike's dinner. "
Selina immediately went out to get the snacks.
Samantha was stunned. That wasn't right. Wasn't she supposed to be the one preparing dinner for them? Why were they the ones getting dinner for themselves?
Luke said, "Samantha, you'd better ask Ashley and Mike to close the doors and windows. It's best if you check it yourself."
Samantha frowned, but did as she was told.
It was common sense, and she usually asked the kids to do the same. There was nothing wrong with it.
A few minutes later, the three of them left the house.
Samantha left in the police car, and Luke and Selina followed in their own car.
They first went to Deputy Peter's house and called the middle-aged, bald white man out. After talking to him for a while, Peter's face was full of sadness. "Zeko, this is my cat. It was screaming in the ventilation duct just now, and then there was no more movement. Is it also … "
Samantha and Luke looked at each other and invited everybody into the house.
Luke and Selina entered the living room.
Luke crouched in front of a vent and took a deep breath. He closed his eyes for a moment, before he stood up. "Is this the place?"
Pete, the bald middle-aged man, burst into tears. "Oh, yes. My poor little Zeko, something must have happened to him. "
Lost for words, Luke turned around and said to Samantha, "Let's check the homes of the two missing people again."
After saying goodbye to the tearful Pete, Samantha asked in a low voice, "Did you find anything?"
Luke said, "That cat … Zeko? He's dead, but I don't think there's a need to say it in front of Peter, right? "
Samantha asked, "What exactly is it?"
Luke chuckled. "You won't believe me even if I tell you. Let's see if we can find any evidence in the homes of the missing people first."
An hour later, Luke visited the homes of the two missing people, as well as the homes of the missing cats and dogs, as well as Old Greyson's friend, Joshua's spider farm.
But to his regret, he discovered that, apart from the unfortunate Deputy Peter's cat, which had obviously been taken away by spiders, none of the missing cats and dogs had been attacked at home.
The spiders in Joshua's spider farm, on the other hand, were all gone, and the scent had spread to the neighboring mountains.
Luke found a lot of newly dug holes there, but they were very narrow and only about thirty centimeters in diameter. It was impossible for people to get in.
Considering the number of spiders he had heard from Mike, Luke would have to be crazy to go in through those holes. Selina wasn't there this time.
He still couldn't call for reinforcements.
Just because he made the situation sound serious didn't mean that other people would come. Both the real FBI and the fake FBI agents were alerted to an alien invasion every day, and they had too much time to do so.
Without concrete warnings, those agencies wouldn't take action easily.
Luke and Selina returned to Samantha's home. After talking for a while, they left again.
Luke and Selina went to the only gun shop in town and bought some bullets and magazines. Naturally, they had to pay for them.
The advantage of Samantha's presence was that they weren't limited to the number of bullets they could buy.
Luke bought a thousand bullets and ten magazines for each pistol and rifle, which left Samantha dumbfounded.
Selina explained with a smile, "He's afraid of not having enough firepower. He doesn't feel safe without enough bullets. "
Samantha was speechless, but under the influence of the two of them, she borrowed an M4A1 and three magazines from the shop for the time being and went out.
Earlier, when Luke said that he wanted bullets, she had asked if they needed guns, and the police department in town could provide them with two guns.
However, Luke had immediately turned her down when she told him the names of the guns.
The rifles were all old-fashioned, and most of them were single-shot. They could be used as sniper rifles, but they would probably go crazy when faced with a large number of spiders.
It had to be said that this town was indeed too poor.
Samantha, the sheriff, and Peter, the deputy sheriff, were the only people in the police department in Boom Town.
According to investigations, it was normal for police stations in remote areas of the country to have only two or three police officers. Many places even only had a single sheriff, who took care of dispatching police officers, arresting people, coordinating, secretarial, and holding people.
Boom Town had declined, and the residents didn't have much money to hire people. Samantha and Peter's salaries were quite low.
Apart from the two sheriffs' pistols that weren't outdated, the rifles and shotguns in the police department were all antiques. Even the Winchester shotgun was present.
That was why Samantha hadn't bought an M4A1, but had simply borrowed it.
Thankfully, the sheriff had a good reputation here, and the gun shop owner didn't hesitate at all to give her a modified, fully-automatic M4A1.
Naturally, Luke wasn't interested in those weapons. He wasn't nostalgic.
If he was, he would've chosen the M4A1.
It wasn't the best gun, but it was the most popular rifle that American police officers had in their cars.
