The second floor was the living room, dining room, and open kitchen. The third floor was a training room, a study, and a guest room. Luke's room was on the fourth floor, and Selina's room was on the fifth floor.
But this was only the main structure of the house. Luke had to slowly complete the security measures on his own.
Selina couldn't help him with that. She wasn't skilled enough.
After admiring the fruits of their week's hard work, the two of them returned to the second floor. They opened the oven and took out the roast chicken and steak that they had already ordered.
Luke even gave out a bottle of wine and raised his glass. "Let the banquet officially begin. Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
"Woof!"
The three bottles of beer clinked against each other, making a tinkling sound.
…
The next day, Luke and Selina went to work, and Gold Nugget stayed home to look after the house.
Luke had already given it control over some of the defense mechanisms of the new house: a tablet.
As long as it selected the corresponding defense mechanism on the tablet, it would be able to deal with anyone who broke into the new house.
For now, there were only two simple defense measures: electric shock and tear gas.
Gold Nugget was reluctant to look after the house on its own.
But Luke said that the new house had just been renovated, and if it was messed up, everybody's mood would be affected in the future.
The dog could only stay at home and watch the house for a few days.
At half past eight, Luke and Selina arrived at NYPD HQ on Crowe Avenue.
It was a very old-fashioned red building. The main body was basically the most typical square, and it looked very stiff. However, as the oldest administrative agency in the United States, the building was actually too modern.
Luke actually wanted his office to be in an old building that had been around for a hundred years, but that was just a dream.
Luke found the office address that Dustin had given him and knocked on the door.
Dustin's voice immediately rang out. "Come in. The door isn't locked."
As he spoke, he raised his head.
Looking at the two familiar figures, he dropped his pen and stood up with a smile, gesturing for them to close the door.
He shook their hands and hugged them before he asked, "Do you want coffee?"
Luke and Selina shook their heads. Selina put the cake that she had bought on the way to his table. "We just had some. You haven't had breakfast yet, have you?"
With mixed feelings, Dustin took out the cake from the paper bag and took a bite. "This isn't Los Angeles. It's been days since anyone bought me snacks."
Luke glanced at him. "Are all your new subordinates so arrogant? Hmm, or petty? "
Dustin waved his hand. "That's not the reason. They've been so busy recently that they often forget to eat."
Luke asked, "A big case?"
Dustin nodded, then shook his head. "It's a big case, but it's just a case that the 15th Precinct asked us to investigate."
After saying that, he slapped his forehead and said, "I've been so busy that I've lost my mind." Then, he took out two documents from the drawer on his right.
"I've helped you with most of the entry procedures. The rest will have to be handled by you yourselves," he said.
Luke accepted it with a smile and gave it to Selina. "Thank you very much, boss."
Dustin said, "Here, you report directly to me. As long as you don't make any mistakes, I guarantee that no one will cause trouble for you. "
Luke nodded. "That's good. Boss, do you need us to take part in that big case? "
Pondering for a moment, Dustin said, "Strictly speaking, this isn't a mission for the Detective Bureau. You don't have to be in a hurry to follow up. Just remember it. We'll talk about it when we find some leads. "
Luke understood.
Dustin and Luke now belonged to the Detective Bureau, which was directly under NYPD HQ. They weren't just responsible for cases on Westside like in Los Angeles.
All the cases in New York could be handed over to the Detective Bureau at HQ.
But at the same time, these cases were either troublesome and difficult to handle, or they had to be investigated from the sidelines. The situation was much more complicated than in Los Angeles.
Dustin gave them a brief summary of the case and told them that they could look up the relevant information in the police database after they completed the entry procedures.
Luke and Selina tactfully took their leave.
Dustin was a workaholic who never liked to be polite with his subordinates. If there was something to say, just say it; if there was nothing else, get the hell out of here.
However, he did his best to take care of his own people. He had a high EQ, and was indeed very suitable to be the head of an operations department like the Detective Bureau.
Before he left, Luke took the time to ask, "Boss, which department did Elsa go to?"
Dustin said, "The intelligence department at HQ."
Luke chuckled. "Hehe, that's a good position."
Dustin glared at him. "It's not bad. But don't be too ostentatious when you ask her for information. She'll do everything for you. "
Luke raised his hand and saluted. "Yes, sir! Bye bye, sir! "With that said, he ran away.
Seeing Selina smile and say goodbye to him before closing the door, Dustin's widened eyes suddenly returned to normal. He relaxed and leaned against the back of his chair as he murmured, "It's good that she's here. Now, we can do something big."
Something had happened in New York recently, and many departments in the police department were working overtime. It wasn't easy for Dustin to adjust the deployment of the Detective Bureau's personnel.
The biggest problem was that he didn't know his subordinates very well.
He could only understand which of his new subordinates were good at fighting and could withstand bullets and pressure at critical moments. On paper, they couldn't fully reflect their characteristics.
The only guy who was good at fighting was too fond of causing trouble, and couldn't compare to Luke.
During this period of time, he was both looking forward to and glad that he had shamelessly asked Luke and Selina to transfer over.
With these two extremely reliable subordinates, he would have a lot more room to maneuver.
With Luke and Selina around, he could solve a lot of tricky cases even without relying on these rookies.
In two months at most, his subordinates wouldn't be able to hold together and fight back. There would always be people who couldn't take the pressure and sided with him. At that time, he would basically be able to take control of the Detective Bureau.
Putting aside Dustin's thoughts, Luke and Selina began the familiar reporting process.
In just over a year, this was Luke's fourth time on the job, and Selina's third. Everything was a walk in the park.
With Dustin's arrangements in advance, the reporting process was much simpler this time.
They took photos, got their licenses, registered their guns and cars, assigned desks, and so on. They were done in just over an hour.
They then put their nameplates on their desks to indicate that their desks were occupied, and they went to the intelligence department.
Looking at Elsa, who was busy in a corner of the office, Luke knocked on the desk and said in a low voice, "Boss, you're being treated worse."
Elsa smiled when she heard his voice. She raised her head and scolded him with a smile, "You're being sarcastic again."
After greeting Selina, she said, "Call me by my name in the future. This isn't Los Angeles. We're not superior and subordinate."
Luke shrugged. "You're my superior. As long as Dustin isn't jealous, who can object?"
