Gold Nugget didn't ask Luke to apologize this time.
It also vaguely felt that this matter really did have something to do with its symbiosis.
After this incident, Luke and Selina had another piece of equipment with them when they went out on a case — a snack bag.
It didn't need to be big, but it was full of high-calorie snacks.
All kinds of candies and chocolates were standard. Luke also bought a lot of candied plums from the Chinese supermarket for her as a taster.
In fact, it wasn't just Selina who needed these things; Luke needed them too.
A strong body came with a huge drain on energy.
If it was just him, he could replenish his energy with nutrient fluids.
But with Selina in the picture, Luke chose to talk more with her.
Working cases with lollipops in their mouths or with chocolate bars in their mouths had become their standard appearance recently.
After eating and drinking like this for a week, Selina's body fat finally returned to 17%.
The thin seam on her bra was also finally gone.
But Selina repeatedly stressed that the bra was still a little loose, and definitely hadn't returned to its original shape.
Luke could only say: Eat! Keep eating!
Gold Nugget also took this opportunity to feast.
Luke didn't feel comfortable leaving the guy at home, so he took it with him in the backseat.
Selina didn't forget to feed it a portion of every kind of snack she had.
Of course, she mainly fed it to Dollar.
Dollar had been a big eater when it was young, and Selina felt sorry for it when it grew old and lost its appetite.
Now that she had Gold Nugget's help, she naturally shared everything delicious with Dollar.
For Dollar, this was clearly a wonderful life.
It could follow its little master every day and eat a lot of delicious food.
Apart from the occasional loss of control and the voice in its head that often cursed it for being a stupid dog, stupid dog, and idiot dog, everything else made it happy.
Of course, Dollar didn't understand the difference between the voice in its head and the voice outside, so it simply ignored it. As long as it wasn't its little master cursing it, it was fine.
Just like that, a week passed.
Luke suddenly received a call from Dustin, who asked him to go to his office alone.
On his way to the police department, Luke pondered that something had to have happened to Dustin, and it couldn't be a small one.
Otherwise, he rarely asked Luke to go to his office.
The last time he was treated like this was because of the huge stash of cash in the garbage truck.
As soon as he entered, he said, "Boss, what's up?"
Dustin was supporting his face with one hand and tapping the table with the other. He seemed to be thinking about something, and when he heard the question, he just raised his hand and gestured at him.
Luke immediately closed the office door.
After a brief silence, Dustin said, "Do you know anything about Martin and Roger?"
Luke nodded. "I've heard Elsa talk about it."
Dustin heaved a sigh. "What I'm about to say next is a personal matter. It's not an order, understand?"
Luke nodded again.
"Martin and Roger caused a big incident this time, but the DEA suddenly spoke up and took over. So, their jobs are saved, "Dustin said.
Luke wasn't surprised; Palmer had already texted him about it.
Dustin continued, "But I also owe someone in the DEA a favor. Now he has a personal request and needs my help. "
Luke listened quietly. Of course, he wouldn't jump out and say that he had done a lot of work.
Dustin didn't think much of it.
He knew that Luke was a man of few words when it came to business. "He needs us to help him find someone outside of America, and he can only go there as a private person."
Luke immediately got it. "Where?"
"Rio de Janeiro, Brazil," said Dustin.
Luke raised an eyebrow. "Who is it?"
Dustin said, "An informant or an undercover agent. Those are the only two possibilities."
Luke asked, "Why us? The DEA has a lot of manpower over there. "
Dustin said, "They suspect that there's a mole. If they send too few people, the mole will go missing, and if they send too many people, they won't be able to find any leads."
Luke nodded. "Fine. If everything goes well, I'll take the case."
"Huh?" Dustin was stunned. Wait! I haven't even finished talking yet, and you're already taking the case?
He had been prepared to do more work for Luke. After all, this mission was a little tricky.
To save Roger and Martin's jobs, it wasn't very nice of him to ask Luke to repay the favor he owed.
But Luke was the candidate that the other party had suggested.
Dustin himself knew that Luke was the most likely candidate to complete the mission.
If it were any other detective, Dustin would've refused the favor without any hesitation, because it would be too easy for something to go wrong.
Dustin was only reassured by Luke, whose combat ability was off the charts and whose ability to solve cases far surpassed that of a regular detective.
Also, Luke was far more experienced than his age, and wouldn't take any risks if he couldn't do it.
The only thing was that Luke wouldn't get anything out of it. At most, he would owe Dustin a personal favor.
But Dustin's favor wasn't enough for his subordinates to carry out such a suicidal mission.
That was what gave Dustin a headache. He valued Luke very much, and didn't want to force Luke to accept the mission as his boss. He could only persuade him.
Little did he expect that Luke would agree as soon as he opened his mouth.
Stumped for a few seconds, Dustin said with a bitter smile, "It's best to limit the mission to two weeks. It's not your fault if you can't find him in two weeks. After all, you're not familiar with the place."
Luke nodded. "Do you have the files? Boss? "
Dustin shook his head. "I don't know the specifics. You can contact the guy from the DEA. This is his phone number." He then gave Luke a card.
Luke took it and glanced at it before he put it in his pocket. "I'll tell Elsa about it …"
Dustin waved his hand. "No need. I'll explain the situation to her."
Luke hummed and walked to the door. "Boss, may I ask why they want me?"
After a brief silence, Dustin said, "Because they heard that you're good at finding suspects."
Luke was lost for words. So, it shouldn't be a problem to find an informant?
He thought for a moment, and had to admit that it was a good idea.
After coming out, he got into the car and told Selina about his upcoming business trip.
Selina wasn't excited this time.
Rio wasn't bad, but Los Angeles wasn't bad either.
More importantly, Dollar and Gold Nugget were at home now, so she definitely couldn't go with Luke.
After they got home, Luke contacted the DEA.
He hung up after a brief conversation. He clicked his tongue and shook his head.
Looking at his face, Selina asked, "What's wrong? Is it troublesome? "
Luke said, "I reckon there's a lot of internal problems in the DEA. The guy will bring the files to me before he takes them away."
