Tim looked about thirty-five, but Natalie was only twenty-five or twenty-six.
He had been on high-risk missions for a long time, and was planning to retire, but Natalie, who was in the prime of her career, didn't support him.
However, it didn't seem like their partnership was that simple.
Luke didn't think that their profession would allow them to have personal feelings, which would be even more problematic than police partners.
However, it wasn't a good idea to watch someone else's love drama, so Luke interjected, "Fine, let's talk about the case you're investigating. We can't talk about confidential information, but what about Jeff and Selina? The other party even sent out gunmen today. Also, you're not going to let Manager Carl live in that old warehouse again, are you? "
Carl smiled bitterly. "If possible, I'd choose to work the night shift in the company, provided that the company believes me."
But judging from Tim and Selina's attitude, he didn't think that he could go out and do whatever he wanted.
Tim shook his head. "Carl, you can call and ask for leave, but until we find someone, you'll have to live under our surveillance for a few days. I'm sorry."
Carl didn't say anything.
It was nice to get a promotion and a raise, but he didn't want to die yet.
Although he was penniless now, he still wanted to live, even if he had to live in an RV or an old warehouse.
Tim looked at Luke and Selina again. "You can't report this to the police department, either."
Selina was focused on eating her ice cream.
Luke nodded with a smile. "Okay. But I just killed eight gunmen. You'll have to take care of the aftermath, right? I used a police gun, and it'll be easy to find out. "
Tim nodded. "Don't worry. We've already told our men to take care of it."
Luke said, "That's fine. It's our job to deal with criminals, but what about Jeff and Karen?"
Tim said, "Not for long. I can't tell you the details, but Jeff will be at work for the next few days. We'll protect him. "
Luke thought for a moment, then nodded. "That's fine. We have to work tomorrow, and we've skipped work today."
Everybody: "…"
After that, Tim and Selina asked Jeff a lot of questions.
Luke knew that they were looking for the person who had leaked the secret and led the killers to kill him.
Not long after, two men in ordinary clothes came and took Karl, the head of security, away. The others went home together.
Karl would be temporarily detained because his identity was more sensitive. The gunman attack in the old warehouse in the afternoon was not enough to clear all suspicion on him.
Jeff, a middle-level employee in HR, and minor detectives like Luke and Selina couldn't directly contact the higher-ups of MBI.
Only Carl, as the head of security at MBI, had the authority to report security issues directly to his superiors.
Of course, Tim couldn't let Carl alert the enemy.
On the other hand, Tim needed Jeff as bait, and he couldn't restrain Luke and Selina.
His department had to be extremely cautious in their actions in the country. Otherwise, they would be caught if they were not careful.
Luke and Selina might only be detectives, but they were local tyrants here. To keep an eye on them, Luke would have to pull some strings, which might alert the target.
Besides, Luke had helped them save Jeff, Karen, and Carl's lives. They didn't want to attack their allies unless it was necessary.
At Jeff and Tim's place, Luke suddenly frowned and waved at Tim.
Tim was slightly surprised, but he still got out of the car and walked over.
As Luke said some polite farewell greetings, he quickly typed out a message on his phone.
Tim nodded with a smile on his face. "Okay, got it." He looked away from the phone screen and casually patted the door with his hand.
Luke also said goodbye with a smile. "Sweet dreams. Jeff and Karen will come to my place for dinner when they wake up. "He then drove off.
Jeff had a strange expression on his face, but still followed him.
Tim smiled bitterly as he watched the two cars drive away. He returned to his car and said something to Natalie before he drove back to his backyard.
A moment later, there was a deafening explosion.
The two cars that had just driven a short distance away stopped. Jeff and Karen looked at the huge ball of fire behind them in horror, and then countless burning debris flew in all directions from the sky.
Luke got out of the car and looked at the explosion. Confused, he took out his phone and said, "Selina, bring Jeff and Karen to my place."
Luke returned home dozens of minutes later.
It was Tim's house that had been blown up.
However, Luke was too lazy to put on an act. He simply gave some instructions to the police who had arrived and went home.
Looking at Jeff and Karen in the living room, he sighed helplessly. "I'm sorry, but your house isn't safe either. It's best if you stay here for now."
Karen couldn't help but ask, "Was that … Tim's house just now?"
Luke nodded.
Jeff couldn't believe it. "Seriously? They're … dead? You're not going to do anything? "
Luke was in charge of the Major Crimes Division, and he should be in charge of such cases, not to mention that he was a participant in them.
Luke was about to reply, when his phone rang. He smiled and picked it up. "You found them? Come on in. I've already opened the garage. Go to the basement through the door on the side. We'll be there soon. "
After he hung up, he asked, "Do you want something to drink? Or watch TV? "
Jeff and Karen looked conflicted.
Although Tim and Karen might be special agents, and they had only known each other for two days, he couldn't be so heartless!
Looking at their faces, Luke said, "It seems that you're not thirsty."
As he spoke, he gestured at them. "Let's go. Don't get too excited later."
He led the way, and Selina brought up the rear. Only Jeff and Karen were uneasy. What were they going to do? Were they going to silence them?
They went down to the basement through the side door. Jeff and Karen were stunned when they walked down the stairs.
Then, they exclaimed, "Tim? Natalie? You're not dead? "
It was Tim and Karen who were standing in the basement.
Tim pressed his hands down. "Jeff, calm down. We're not ghosts."
"But your house was blown up!" Jeff still couldn't believe it.
Natalie nodded. "Actually, we didn't enter the house at all. We only detonated the bomb that was hidden in the house as a cover."
Jeff asked, "Why?"
Tim and Natalie looked to the side.
Everyone looked over, only to find that two people were tied to a chair, and their mouths were sealed with tape.
"Danny? Meg? "Jeff and Karen looked at them in surprise.
Jeff looked at Tim in disbelief. "You, wait …"
He suddenly realized what was going on and turned around to look at Luke. "And you, you actually kidnapped Danny and Karen? Why? "
