When Luke and Selina arrived at the exam venue, they found that they and an invigilator were the only ones in the room.
After they came in, the invigilator immediately handed out the papers and yawned. "Hey, I didn't sleep well last night. I'm going to get some coffee. I'll collect the papers in an hour."
As he spoke, he placed a file on a table not far away from Luke and Selina, before he walked out.
Seeing that, Luke quickly said, "Sir, just give us half an hour."
The invigilator stopped and looked at Luke for a moment, before he suddenly smiled. "Not bad, Detective Luke Coulson. You're truly a good student. I'll collect the papers in half an hour."
After the invigilator left, Selina looked at Luke.
Luke shrugged. "Fine, I underestimated Director Brad's influence, but I don't think we'll have to use that."
He pursed his lips at the exam question material, feeling a little amused in his heart.
He was almost certain that the answers to the questions were in the file. The invigilator was clearly giving them an hour to flip through the file.
Of course, an open-book exam couldn't be called cheating.
LAPD could do that if they wanted, and the other police departments couldn't do anything about it.
Unfortunately, Luke had done too much homework.
They were too lazy to look for the answers in the file. They simply scanned the papers with their glasses, and the answers to each question were listed in the question bank attached to the glasses.
What the two of them needed to do was to copy the answers projected on their glasses.
Luke didn't forget to remind Selina, "Don't copy everything. Just get 20% of the questions wrong and get a 'good' grade."
Selina's pen paused, and she sweated. "I would've forgotten if you didn't remind me."
Luke chuckled. "This isn't a college exam. If it weren't for the fact that a 'pass' would make us look like we don't know the rules, we could've made a few more mistakes. "
It took them more than ten minutes to copy the questions.
Luke was very familiar with the process, and his answers were flawless. It looked no different from a regular exam.
He got all the simple questions right and deliberately got some of the more difficult ones wrong. He finished the task in five minutes.
He spent the rest of the time reminding Selina where she had made her mistakes.
It would be awkward if both of them made the same mistake.
After chatting for a few more minutes, the police supervisor came back. He scanned through their test papers and nodded. "Okay, you can leave now. The test results will be out in a week."
He was making sure that the two of them wouldn't fail even if they copied. If that was the case, they would have to retake the test.
This kind of invigilation was too boring. He didn't want to invigilate it twice.
After they left, they went to find Dustin and told him that they had passed the detective exam.
Dustin gestured for them to close the door before he asked, "What do you think about that?"
He was talking about the two of them following him to New York.
It was now early September, and the October deadline was not far away.
Luke shrugged. "Of course I'm going. But we won't be patrolmen, will we? "
He didn't care about his salary, nor did he care about his position. If his position was low, then he didn't have to care about other people's business.
However, the patrol officers had to patrol the area every day. Their time was not free, and he could not stand it.
Dustin shook his head quickly. "How is that possible? It would be such a waste if I let you become patrol officers. "
Not only are you wasting your abilities, but you're also wasting my feelings! He mumbled inwardly.
In order to drag Luke and Selina over to New York, he had made a lot of efforts. He had even talked to Director Brad in private twice before he settled the issue of Luke and Selina's pay.
However, he wasn't sure about Luke's opinion. So, he asked tentatively, "Are you still going to be a detective?"
Luke smiled. "Of course. I'm only good at fighting. I can't be a sergeant."
After a brief hesitation, Dustin explained frankly, "Because Elsa is going too, and I only have one position as a sergeant."
Luke didn't say anything, and simply listened attentively.
Dustin said, "I only have four people on my side to go to New York. The director doesn't plan to take any lower-level personnel with him, but I need you …"
Sweating, Luke raised his hand and said, "Boss, don't be so dramatic. It's good enough that I'm a detective. I'm not competing with Elsa for the position. "
He really couldn't stand Dustin explaining with a constipated expression and saying things like "I need you."
Dustin observed Luke's expression carefully. Seeing that Luke really didn't look like he was being polite, he nodded and said, "That's good. You might be assigned to the police department directly under HQ. Elsa will be there too, but she might not be your boss. "
Luke chuckled. "Is Elsa willing?"
Dustin sighed. "I know that Elsa has a tacit understanding with you, and it'll be much easier for you to work together. But the police department isn't run by Director Brad. It's impossible for him to arrange all the positions in advance. "
He then said solemnly, "But I promise that you'll be able to go to any department you want in half a year at most."
Luke nodded. "That's good. I'll listen to you. Right, boss, can I take my car with me? "
Dustin found that odd. "Why?"
He knew that Luke was very rich, and there was no need for him to keep that regular car.
Luke chuckled. "I've modified the car before. It's much more expensive than the car itself."
Lost for words for a moment, Dustin nodded. "Okay, I'll have the logistics department put your car on the auction list for this month. You can buy it with your own money. Hm, don't pay too little. "
Luke didn't think much of it. "I'll just treat it as a new car that's just been modified."
Dustin nodded in satisfaction.
That was for the best. He wouldn't be accused of selling the police department's property.
In the end, he asked, "It's settled. NYPD will send you an offer at the end of September. Do you need a vacation?"
He was only asking because he wanted to give them time to deal with their personal affairs.
Luke thought for a moment, then nodded. "Okay. We'll start the handover process in a few days, and then we'll officially resign."
He could earn a lot of credit points by working, but there were a lot of things he had to deal with before he left. It was more convenient to have a vacation.
After that, they said goodbye and left.
In the car, Selina clicked her tongue. "Director Brad is very impressive. We haven't even arrived yet, but he's already set up a position. "
The fact that Director Brad was able to make arrangements in advance even before he was promoted proved that he had a lot of influence in NYPD.
Of course, that was because Dustin and Luke were very close, and he didn't want Luke and Selina to fall out with him because of their new jobs.
In the next few days, Luke and Selina didn't take on any new cases, and handed over their current cases to their colleagues. Then, they had the most relaxing vacation of the year.
