The two girls were clearly scared out of their wits. If he said too much, they might have a mental breakdown.
Pondering for a moment, Luke asked, "Kris, can we stay at your place tonight?"
Kris: "Huh?"
He explained, "You see him in your sleep every time. If we want to understand him, we have to at least be there. Also, Nancy, if it's possible, can you come over and keep Kris company tonight? "
The two girls hesitated.
Luke took out his badge and gave it to Kris. "This is my ID. You can call the LAPD to check it out."
The two girls hesitated for a moment, before Kris finally nodded. "Okay, okay. You can stay here tonight."
Luke nodded with a smile. "Thank you. But we won't be sleeping. We have to keep an eye on you. You said earlier that you've been accidentally falling asleep in the last few days, right? "
Kris nodded blankly. "Yes."
Luke explained, "We'll keep an eye on you here. If anything happens, we'll be able to help you."
Kris nodded blankly.
Luke then turned his head. "What about you, Nancy? Can you stay here? "
Nancy shook her head uncertainly. "I have to call my mom first."
Luke nodded. "Sure. But please don't mention our existence or our identities as police officers. "
Nancy looked at him suspiciously. "Why?"
She wanted to go back and tell her mother that two police officers were here to help her, or she wouldn't be able to spend the night outside.
Luke said, "The atmosphere in your town is too tense. We've only just arrived today, but the sheriff already seems to want to kick us out. You know that we're not the police here. If we reveal our identities, the sheriff might feel offended. "
Nancy got it and could only nod. "Then I can only try. My mom might not agree."
Luke said, "Try your best. If it doesn't work, then forget it."
Nancy: "Huh?"
She subconsciously looked at Kris. So, if she couldn't convince her mother, she would have nightmares at home?
Kris, on the other hand, had two LAPD police officers to watch over her all the time. Wasn't this discrimination?
Luke didn't really care what Nancy thought.
As the saying goes in China, a well-intentioned person cannot save a damned ghost.
He had said what he wanted to say. What Nancy chose was her own business.
Could Luke barge into her house, point a gun at her mother's head, and ask her mother to let her go?
Nancy left uneasily, and Luke and Selina stayed at Kris's place.
There was no one else in Kris's house. The only family she had was her mother. She was a flight attendant and had already flown to Europe for work.
This made things easier for Luke and Selina.
Watching Luke and Selina move in a batch of equipment, Kris was dumbfounded. "What are you …"
Luke said with a smile, "Although we don't know what it is, we still have to make the necessary preparations. These surveillance cameras can at least help us figure out whether it's a human or a nightmare."
Chris was speechless.
Luke and Selina worked quickly and finished everything in less than half an hour.
Looking at Kris, who was sitting there in a daze, Luke reminded her, "If it's possible, you'd better move your sleeping things out. You have to rest in the living room tonight. It's bigger here."
Enlightened, Kris went upstairs to get the things.
After she came back with the things, Luke pointed at the biggest sofa. "You can rest there for now. Of course, it's best to wear something warm in your pajamas. "He winked.
Stumped for a moment, Kris chuckled.
It was already the end of April, and the weather was hot and dry in California. She didn't need to keep warm.
Luke was reminding her that she should wear pajamas to cover up her privacy, in case it was inconvenient for them to work here.
As they busied themselves, it was already four in the afternoon.
Golden sunlight shone on the grass outside the house. The three of them were in the living room, and the house was very quiet.
Luke suddenly frowned and patted Selina, who was looking through the files next to him.
Selina raised her head and looked in the direction Luke was pointing.
On the other side, Kris had already fallen asleep.
In the quiet living room, the exhausted girl had unknowingly fallen into a light sleep.
With his keen ears, Luke noticed that her breathing had stabilized.
The two of them moved soundlessly to the side of Kris, who was taking a nap.
After observing for a moment, Selina turned her head and shook her head suspiciously.
She was indicating that she hadn't noticed anything unusual.
Luke nodded slightly. He hadn't noticed anything unusual, either.
Kris was sleeping normally.
But in the next moment, his expression changed, and he stared at the girl.
Just now, the girl's breathing had suddenly quickened.
With his Sharp Nose, Luke suddenly sensed the smell of sweat on the girl.
Selina also sensed that something wasn't right. She stared at Kris, and noticed that her forehead was covered in a layer of sweat.
Also, Kris's lips were trembling, as if she was trying to say something, but she couldn't.
Very soon, Kris's abnormality became even more obvious.
It wasn't just cold sweat and her lips; her body was also trembling slightly. She was trying to clench her fists, but she couldn't.
Luke gestured at Selina, who nodded and said that she would keep an eye on the environment.
Then, he reached out and slowly held Kris's hand. "Kris, wake up."
Kris's eyelids trembled, but she didn't open them.
Seeing that, Luke grabbed her hand and shook it a few times. "Wake up, Kris."
Kris suddenly opened her eyes and screamed, "Ah!"
Luke turned his head away with a bitter smile.
Thankfully, Kris didn't have bad breath, but she still spat out a bit of saliva in her excitement, and Luke had no choice but to move away.
After a few seconds, Kris finally stopped screaming. "Don't, don't come any closer."
Luke grabbed her hands and pulled her down onto the couch. "Hey, you're not a good girl. Kris, it's okay. You're awake. "
Kris was stunned for a moment. When she saw who it was, she suddenly lunged at him and hugged him tightly. "He's here, he's here again."
Holding the terrified girl in his arms, Luke stroked her back and said, "Okay, we know. That's why we woke you up."
Kris trembled all over, and it was a long time before she burst into tears.
She cried for several minutes, and it wasn't until Luke felt that his shirt was soaked that her sobs turned to sobs.
Luke let go of her and helped her sit down on the couch. He gave her a tissue and said, "It's okay, Kris. You're awake now, and we're here."
