Blake's mouth fell open again. "Him? Cooking? "
She had thought that Luke was a bit like her father, and that feeling was even more so after she learned that he was a great fighter.
But now, what was this "cooking specialist" all of a sudden?
As long as she imagined her father twirling his fingers and cooking in the kitchen, she felt that it was very strange!
In that case, Luke really didn't look like her father at all.
Luke came out at that moment and smiled at them. "It won't take long. It'll only take a few minutes."
A moment later, the three girls heard him and went to the kitchen to get lunch.
The dishes were Beggar's Chicken, which had been roasted in advance, and the steak that had just been fried.
Luke had been afraid that Blake wouldn't like chicken, so he had made a few portions on the spot.
In the end, Blake fell in love with the Beggar's Chicken after only one bite. She ate as much as Selina did when she had chicken for the first time.
While the four of them were happily eating, the doorbell rang.
Luke got up and opened the door.
Of the four of them, he was the only one whose hands were still clean. The three girls were all nibbling on the Beggar's Chicken.
Luke opened the door and looked at the bald man who was half a head taller than him. He stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, are you Mr. Ray Gaines?"
The bald man grinned and shook hands with him. "Yes, Detective Luke Coulson. Nice to meet you. Just call me Ray."
Luke smiled. "Then please call me Luke too. And this is …"
The woman behind the bald man shook hands with Luke. "Luke, I'm Emma."
Luke nodded and opened the door wide. "Please come in. Blake has been waiting for you."
After the three of them walked into the living room, Ray and Emma's eyes fell on Blake, who was sitting at the dining table. They were both stunned. "Blake?"
Blake abruptly turned her head and swung the chicken wing in her mouth, leaving an oily mark on her cheek. "Dad, mom?"
Ray and Emma didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
On the phone yesterday, they had sensed that Blake's mood wasn't right. When they contacted Emma's rich boyfriend, Daniel Redick, he was hesitant and only said that Blake had gone to stay with a friend for the time being.
After the earthquake, Blake didn't follow his future stepfather. Instead, he went to his friend's place. This situation didn't seem right either.
Worried about their daughter, Ray and Emma hurried back from San Francisco.
But looking at their daughter's oily face, they felt that maybe they were thinking too much.
With this appetite, he didn't look like he was in a bad mood!
Blake finally reacted. He put down the chicken wing, stood up, and ran over to hug the two of them. He quickly said, "You're fine, you're both fine. This is great."
In her agitation, the oil on her face and mouth was all smeared on her parents' faces.
Everyone responded with a smile.
After a disaster, people always wanted to confirm their loved ones' safety with their own eyes.
Ray and Emma had been in San Francisco yesterday. The earthquake there was much stronger than in Los Angeles, and it was said that many old buildings had collapsed.
It makes sense for Blake to worry about his parents.
Even though Claire had already called him, Luke had to call Robert and Catherine in person to confirm that he was fine.
Blake's family was reunited, and they didn't stay at Luke's place for long. After a few polite words, they said goodbye.
When Luke saw them off at the door, Ray gave him a card and shook Luke's hand. "I work for an air rescue team in Los Angeles. Call me anytime if you need anything."
Luke nodded with a smile. "Of course."
Ray wasn't a man of many words, but he felt that he was reliable. He remembered Luke's favor.
Also, this favor was very heavy.
"If you need anything" and "anytime" meant that as long as Luke asked for help, he would help almost unconditionally.
The air rescue team was still useful. At the very least, helicopters were always on standby.
After seeing the family off, Luke and Selina packed up and left.
It was already past one when they arrived at the police department.
When Luke and Selina arrived at Elsa's office, she was on the phone.
Seeing them come in, she quickly hung up and opened the bag that Luke had given her. She took out the cake inside and ate it.
Luke gestured at Selina, and she went to her desk to get some milk for Elsa.
Luke said with a smile, "You should eat something no matter how busy you are. You're not a councilor. Los Angeles won't be any more chaotic after a few minutes of rest."
Elsa munched on the cake and mumbled, "Do you know Batman?"
Luke spread his hands. "Who doesn't?"
Elsa said, "This time, the police department, well, the city council, should give this Batman a medal of honor." Luke chuckled.
Luke chuckled. "He saved so many people. Isn't that what he deserves?"
Elsa rolled her eyes. "Come on. Have you saved fewer people than him?"
Luke smiled and didn't say anything. He checked the system in silence.
Host's experience: 24890/90000
Credit: 14590
He wasn't dissatisfied. After a busy night, he had gained more than six thousand experience and credit points.
He had more than twenty thousand credit points, but with last night's income, he naturally learned Elementary Sound Wave, which required ten thousand credit points.
That was his biggest reward.
Elsa didn't continue the topic. She knew that her old partner didn't like to brag about his past achievements in case he attracted the paparazzi.
She just said, "Alright, this Batman's contribution in saving people can only be ranked second. His real contribution is stabilizing the emotions of the ordinary citizens of Los Angeles, and preventing any major riots from breaking out in Los Angeles after the disaster. "
Luke was slightly stunned. "Is that so?"
Elsa took the milk from Selina, thanked her, and continued, "Of course, it's not a big deal. A hero's spirit is inspiring … "
Looking at the bored expressions on Luke and Selina's faces, she stopped talking. "Everybody's busy talking about a life-saving hero, but this guy just happens to have no information on him at all, and he's shown extraordinary abilities. They don't have time to gather their dissatisfaction and make connections."
Luke nodded with a smile. "Is that so? That's not bad."
The scariest thing about onlookers and onlookers was that even if they were talking about the same thing, they could lead the discussion in a strange direction, and the onlookers themselves couldn't control the direction of the discussion.
Like at that moment, a bunch of hooligans were discussing where to rob.
"We can rob the convenience store at the end of the street. We happen to be out of alcohol."
"I want snacks too. Potato chips and popcorn. Definitely."
"Me too. Let's snatch it back to watch TV. That guy in black is too cool."
"Ah, do you think so too? Especially that cloak of his … "
"TV is nothing. There's already a Batman fan forum online, with a lot of screenshots and analysis of his videos. He's so cool!"
"Then let's go and be back soon."
