“TH？ (What the hell?) "Selina couldn't help but sigh." This Karen is really … a genius. "
Karen's voice rang out in the monitor. "Don't you know? Many people change the locks on their doors as soon as they move, but they don't change the remote control for the garage door. Meg left a spare key with me when they went on vacation last time, but I forgot to return it to them. It's coming in handy now. "
Luke sweated a little.
Thankfully, the security system in his house was locked, and the key was just a cover. Otherwise, Karen, who had nothing better to do, would've broken in sooner or later.
Did this housewife have to be so curious? Also, weren't they afraid that Tim and his wife would discover them?
Luke checked the surveillance system again, and was surprised to find that Tim and his wife weren't home.
Where did these two go?
He, Selina, Jeff, and Karen were all at home, but these two were the only ones who went out again.
How dedicated! Luke murmured to himself.
They'd been out all day. He didn't believe that the couple had gone out at night just to have fun. Agents weren't that energetic.
He couldn't be bothered with Jeff and his wife.
Given Tim and Natalie's behavior, it was unlikely that they'd set up a booby trap in their house.
After all, this was a regular neighborhood in China, not a battlefield. They couldn't kill anyone who snuck into their house.
Even if it was Luke's house, the alarm would only be triggered; the real weapons wouldn't be activated until it was confirmed.
He simply went to take a shower and let Selina watch the surveillance first.
After the shower, Selina waved at him in the living room. "Tim and his wife are back. Haha, come and watch."
Luke was lost for words. "… Don't tell me that Jeff and Karen are still at Tim's house."
Selina nodded quickly. "You're so smart. They really haven't come out."
Luke was lost for words. "… They're really" professional. "
He wasn't worried about Jeff and his wife.
Even if Tim and his wife discovered them, they wouldn't do anything to them, and would even explain for them.
After all, Tim and Karen had other plans. If necessary, they could play dumb and pretend to be blind.
"What's Jeff dragging out? It looks like … a body? Well, okay, that's Karen, "said Selina.
Stumped for a moment, Luke finally walked over and looked at the surveillance feed.
Jeff raised his hands to his waist, grabbed his wife's legs, and dragged Karen out from the side door.
Luke clicked his tongue in wonder. "Karen won't go bald on the back of her head, will she?"
Looking at the image, Selina also felt lucky. "Thankfully, you're not that weak. You wouldn't do this to me."
Luke was amused. "Even if I only had one hand left, I would run with you."
Selina recalled the night in Wolfkyle and chuckled.
After Jeff dragged his wife all the way home, Luke switched the camera back to their house.
Listening to Jeff's bewildered rambling, he quickly confirmed one thing: Karen wasn't dead, nor was she injured. She had just been shot with an anesthetic needle or something.
What was even more speechless was that this thing had been shot from a pen-shaped tranquilizer gun when Jeff was looking for a pen to copy something. It had hit Karen's butt.
But I hope Karen doesn't have a sore ass when she wakes up tomorrow.
Or maybe Jeff had already removed the anesthetic needle when he dragged his wife away, or domestic violence would've been inevitable.
After confirming that, Luke stopped eavesdropping on Jeff and his wife. "Okay, I'm going to work. You can train on your own."
Selina glared at him. "Got it." She then went to the training room with her tablet.
Luke wasn't very interested in Jeff and his wife's private affairs, but Selina was very interested.
At this moment, Karen was already harassing Jeff.
Maybe the anesthetic had other side effects, such as a primal urge.
It would be a shame not to listen to the livestream!
The next day was work, but Luke simply asked Selina to call Elsa and tell her that they were going to work on a case instead of going to the police department.
Elsa didn't have any urgent cases that required their attention. She simply said that she got it, and hung up.
It was so convenient to have a boss.
Selina couldn't have been happier.
One reason was that she didn't have to leave the house in a hurry in the morning.
Luke had a lot of time last night, and even had a special Cantonese restaurant. So, he simply made barbecued pork buns, shrimp dumplings, shumai, and rice noodle rolls.
The other reason was that it was a delicious and sumptuous breakfast.
On the tablet, Jeff and his wife were whispering to each other again, revealing an important piece of information: they found a bug in the gift that Tim gave them. Jeff was going to contact the company's head of security to report this situation.
The third reason was that they were going to be eavesdropping on a live stream so early in the morning.
Luke didn't care about her.
She didn't have much entertainment, and it was rare for her to interact with her neighbors.
For Jeff and his wife's safety, Luke and Selina skipped work today.
Just because Tim wasn't ruthless didn't mean that Jeff and his wife wouldn't be in danger.
When honest people got involved in certain incidents, they were usually the first to die.
After that, Luke followed Jeff to work, while Selina stayed at home to keep an eye on Karen, the paranoid housewife.
Nothing unusual happened after a whole day of waiting.
At the very least, Jeff got off work on time, and drove out in his little blue Chevrolet.
There was nothing wrong with him except that he was a little nervous.
Luke sighed.
Fine, Jeff's nervousness probably wasn't a good sign.
While the honest man was good at communicating, he wasn't good at hiding his emotions.
After they reached home, Luke greeted Selina. "Is everything alright?"
Selina shrugged. "Karen, Natalie, and I are in our own rooms. Karen is watching Natalie, and I'm watching them. "
Luke nodded. "Did you see Jeff's expression? He might've confirmed something, like that he's a spy or something. "
Selina chuckled. "Tim and his wife are probably special agents or legitimate guardians of America. It's more likely that they're here to investigate spies. Wow! Listen to this. "
She stopped talking and turned up the volume on the tablet. "Carl, why are we going there? The company's abandoned warehouse on Route 57? That's a weird place, isn't it? Also, why are we going there now instead of talking about it at work? "
"Fine, I promise that I won't report it to my superiors, nor will I mention it to anyone else."
Luke and Selina looked at each other.
Selina was lost for words. "… Why do I feel that the person Jeff is looking for is an undercover villain in a movie?"
Luke was lost for words, and also felt that it was quite suspicious. "Carl Prongo should be one of MBI's security supervisors. He's indeed in charge of this. Let's go and bring our gear. Something might happen. "
