Samantha was almost forty, but she was in the prime of her life. Of all the people Luke had met, May was the only one who could compare to her.
Ashley was young, like a teenage version of Samantha. She also had the demeanor of a mother.
It would be easy for Luke to misunderstand if he approached her, so Selina was in charge of the mother and daughter.
Gladys was old and smart, and could take care of herself.
Elizabeth was one of them, and it would be best if they could get along. She could also take care of her brother and sister.
Luke, on the other hand, pulled Chris aside for a private talk.
The others had no intention of coming over, but from time to time, they would turn their attention to the two men who were drinking, eating, and chatting.
Mike was about to join them, when his most revered sister, Elizabeth, stopped him.
Luke and Chris didn't talk for long, at most half an hour.
In the end, he patted Chris' shoulder and said, "You can call this number if you want. This is my secretary, Jenny's contact number. I've been busy with work recently, and I don't have time to talk to you in detail, but you can call me if you run into any trouble. "
Chris silently put away the name card, and the two returned to the dining hall. However, Chris was clearly a little distracted.
An hour later, Luke and Selina saw them off at the door, where Bobby was already waiting in his car.
Luke said with a smile, "As I said, I'll take care of your accommodation. Bobby, Max, will take you to a hotel. I've already booked a room."
Y'lisabet wanted to say something, but when she saw the smile in Luke's eyes, she obediently shut up.
Luke was gentle and resolute. In the end, Elizabeth put in a few words for him, and the family followed Bobby to the hotel.
After the two cars left, Selina asked, "You're not an adventurous person. Why are you so enthusiastic?"
Luke chuckled and put his arm around her shoulder as they walked into the house. "Let's go in first, and I'll tell you."
After they returned to the house, he explained everything to Selina, who was shocked. "You're kidding, right?"
Luke shrugged. "No, I'm not. As a matter of fact, I brought back evidence and verified it myself. "
Selina was lost for words. "… I knew it. You wouldn't be so enthusiastic if you didn't get anything out of it."
Luke chuckled and didn't say anything. He picked up the phone and told Jenny about Chris.
Then, the two of them trained separately. Selina then went to sleep, and Luke continued to work hard.
After the battle in the apartment building where Smith was hiding, Luke noticed some problems.
He needed to consider the application of weapons in more environments, such as subsonic bullets.
The so-called subsonic bullet referred to the bullet leaving the chamber at a speed lower than the speed of sound.
Since the speed of the gun was lower than the speed of sound, the sound of the gunshot would naturally be greatly reduced.
In order to achieve this effect, subsonic bullets would usually use a method to reduce the amount of charge.
However, doing so would reduce the accuracy of the gun, and the barrel would be contaminated very quickly.
To solve this problem, the shape and weight of the warhead had to be changed.
That way, everything from Luke's gun to his bullets would be special.
Of course, he wouldn't buy them in broad daylight. Purchasing these special bullets was a problem, and the effects would be even worse if he modified them himself.
Subsonic bullets coupled with a special silencer could turn a pistol into an existence that was close to soundless.
That was right. This was Luke's special tool for sneak attacks.
Since it was a sneak attack, the problems with subsonic bullets were not that important.
Generally speaking, when he used these bullets, he would only be within a range of fifty meters.
In the battle in the apartment building where Smith was hiding, Luke had been less than twenty meters away from the shooters.
A little less accurate and a little less powerful was acceptable.
He just needed to practice a few more times in the future and get used to the characteristics of this exclusive weapon.
Also, the essence of sneak attacks was to hide oneself.
If he didn't want to expose his position, he couldn't attack too frequently. Thus, he only needed to store a few hundred bullets for this special weapon.
Luke didn't think that there was a place where he could use up so many subsonic bullets.
It wasn't a lot of work, and he managed to get the bullets out in the next few days.
Then, he tested the modified P226 in his hand. It felt pretty good, and he finally went to bed in satisfaction.
The next day, they arrived at the police department. They had barely sat down when Elsa waved at Luke to enter her office.
When he came in, Elsa was already holding a piece of paper and slapping it on his chest.
Luke caught it. "What's this?"
Elsa said, "Your new case!"
Luke unfolded the thick piece of paper, only to find that it was an event poster.
He was suspicious. "Spring camping? What does that have to do with me? "
Elsa explained, "Los Angeles No. 37 Public High School is a friendly school with the Westside Police Department. It interacts with the police department every year. For example, our department sends out detectives to provide daily training and safety lessons for the school's camping activities, as well as to keep an eye on the overly energetic kids. You know, it's not uncommon for a few naughty kids to get lost around the campsite and fall into puddles. "
Lost for words for a moment, Luke said, "You don't have to be so dramatic, do you? Boss, you're driving me to Crystal State Park? That's eighty kilometers away from Los Angeles. Do I have to drive home for another hour or two after work? "
Elsa said frankly, "That's right. To save you the hassle, the campsite management will provide a free dormitory, and you'll be reimbursed for meals. "
Luke was lost for words. "… You've taken care of everything, haven't you?"
Elsa looked at him and nodded. "You've done a good job. Both the boss and I think it's best if you leave for a few days."
Luke asked helplessly, "When?"
Elsa said, "Set off today. The officers there won't return until the handover is over. You'd better arrive before four in the afternoon to complete the handover. "
There was nothing Luke could say. He could only nod and leave.
"Leave Selina to me. There's only one slot for a detective on the other side," Elsa added.
Luke turned his head. "… It's a waste that you're not in HR, boss."
Elsa said, "That's what I'm studying in college. Do you have a problem with that?"
Luke said, "… No."
He told Selina about it after they left, and she said in despair, "No, what will I do if you leave?"
Luke said helplessly, "Don't worry. I'll go home and pack up first. I'll also prepare snacks and food for you. You won't starve."
Selina said gloomily, "But you'll be on vacation, and I'll have to work here."
