A retired reincarnation of a certain American film.

Chapter 140 Prepare for a Rainy Day (Fourth update, please subscribe!!)

Earl's attitude was clear.

Although she had a good relationship with Jack and Debbie personally, the three of them would often hang out together even after get off work or on weekends.

but……

Earl is very serious and responsible when it comes to official matters.

Maybe Earl doesn't seem as loyal as Jack and Debbie, but that's just on the surface.

Earl's loyalty is actually not inferior to that of Jack and Debbie.

Luke is quite confident about this.

As for why Earl didn't call him "big brother" like Jack and Debbie, this is entirely due to personality reasons and historical reasons.

The reason for his personality is that Earl's personality is not as carefree as that of Jack and Debbie.

For historical reasons, I have to mention the damn Bill Kings who wants to eat the grass on the edge of his nest.

fortunately.

Luke has no plans or thoughts to eat the grass on the side of the nest.

Therefore, Luke believes that as time goes by, in the near future, Earl will be willing to call him "big brother".

The most important thing.

Earl was his hand-picked deputy director.

and so……

Luke also showed some respect for Earl's opinions.

He did not force Jack to take the position of team leader, but listened to Earl's opinion and first gave him the acting team leader position.

Jack and Debbie didn't have much objection to this. The most they did was grab Earl during the weekend dinner party, and the two of them teamed up to pour Earl's depth charges on him.

therefore.

After Jack heard about this task, he was eager to try it.

"Boss, I'll go first."

"Wait a moment."

Luke looked at Jack who was about to get up and leave the conference room, stopped, and then explained with a very serious expression.

"Don't get caught."

"Don't worry, boss. Although my major is back office, I was trained at Quantico Base."

Jack patted his chest and assured: "Those sentries from the Sentinel Secret Service are all from the wild. They want to find out that we are following us. They don't exist."

Any federal agent who wants to be employed must go to Quantico Base to receive a package of systematic training before taking up the post.

Even regional police officers.

They also need to go through a professional police academy before they can graduate and then join police agencies in various places.

But Sentinel Secret Service?

Let's say that.

When the Sentinel Secret Service was first established, most of the sentinels inside were recruited from the military and reemployed retired soldiers.

Those soldiers who retired from the Marine Corps are very powerful in combat and are very obedient to orders.

but……

Well known.

Mutants are extremely dangerous existences, especially when they know that there is an agency that will catch them and lock them in a cage for the rest of their lives. You can't expect them to surrender obediently.

Therefore, the Sentinel Secret Service's casualty rate is also very high.

Although the military is constantly transfusing blood to the Sentinel Secret Service, capturing mutants and fighting these soldiers overseas are two different things.

It might be okay to let this group of soldiers be ordered to capture an exposed mutant somewhere.

But for them to find the mutant before the mutant is exposed, that would be a bit over the top for this group of ordinary soldiers.

At the very least, they are far behind the local police departments and the FBI in all the majors needed to solve crimes.

Luke thought for a moment and nodded.

"Be careful, don't be careless, go ahead."

"understand!"

Jack said loudly, then walked out of the conference room, waved to the three agents who came in from various branches in California, and then left the office in a hurry.

When Earl and Debbie saw this, they also got up and left the conference room.

soon.

In the conference room, Lu Ke and Pan Ning were left alone once again.

Luke looked at the closed door of the conference room, his eyes fell on Pan Ning again, and frowned: "If it were just a few nude photos, Director Lewis shouldn't be so angry."

There are just a few nude photos on the left and right.

Only girls worry about their nude photos being exposed.

male?

Let's say that.

If it were not against the law to be naked, Lu Ke, who is very confident in his figure and size, said that he would never wear underwear to the beach from now on.

Males with capital always want to show off to more people.

Like a peacock spreading its wings.

"Could it be that she is the heroine in the nude photos with Director Lewis? Her identity is not simple?"

"I do not know."

Pan Ning shook his head, looked at Luke, and told the truth: "When I talked to Director Louis, he had already divorced his ex-wife. However, this is possible. As far as I know, this ex-wife was still married. , also had an affair, and her family background was very ordinary, but after divorcing Director Lewis, she went to Atlanta, and in less than five years, she became one of the twelve operations directors of the Sentinel Secret Service today. .”

Luke raised his eyebrows: "It seems that Director Lewis has taken control of his life."

Infidelity in marriage.

The family background is ordinary.

After the divorce, he became an operations director within five years.

Adding these three keywords together, you can draw a conclusion.

Director Lewis's ex-wife has caught Director Lewis's weakness.Otherwise...

This ex-wife should appear in the missing persons file.

Luke thought in his mind, shook his head and stood up: "Forget it, no matter how you guess now, it's just a wild guess. When you get the thing, you can take a look and you will know what it is."

Pan Ning looked at Luke who stood up and opened his mouth.

"that……"

"what happened?"

Luke looked at Pan Ning with a smile: "Is there anything else?"

Pan Ning twitched the corner of his mouth a few times: "I don't really want to know. If you really get it, don't tell me. I don't want to see it either."

Lu Ke chuckled and looked at Pan Ning.

"No, you want to see it."

"..."

After Luke finished speaking, he looked at Pan Ning, whose expression was somewhat frozen on his face, and the smile on his face became even wider, and then he walked out of the conference room.

No matter what is in that safe, it is important to Director Lewis.

And it was so important that after Director Lewis learned that the safe was stolen, he immediately called him and asked him and Penning to find it at all costs.

and so……

The thing in the safe is a thunderbolt.

Either to the thief who stole this thing, or to the person who found these things.

Luke must be on guard.

night time.

When Luke just got home, Earl called and said that their people had installed all the bugs in place while the three men from the Sentinel Secret Service went out to eat.

Even the toilets in their hotel have three installed in hidden corners.

And just in case, he was discovered by the Sentinel Secret Service, so Earl did not use the bugs in the FBI's equipment library, but requisitioned a batch of bugs from the evidence room that destroyed a Middle Eastern terrorist six months ago. The bug found in the den.

"I always feel at ease when you do things. Please work hard these days and keep an eye on me."

"clear."

Luke got out of the car and immediately hung up the phone.

When he returned from the garage to the living room on the first floor, he looked at Lorna, who was already sitting on the bar stool, supporting her head with one hand and holding a ballpoint pen in the other, and blinked.

Luke stepped closer and took a glance.

raised eyebrows.

"Writing homework."

"Ah."

Lorna looked up listlessly and glanced at Luke, who turned around to get a drink from the wine cabinet, wondering: "Do you know how much homework we have every day?"

Luke turned around and uncorked the bottle.

"How many?"

"a lot of!"

Lorna said with an exaggerated expression: "One day's homework in this school is almost as much as the total homework I did in Orange County High School for half a year. And, you know what Clarice said, she said today's homework was not bad. There are less.”

She now regrets her decision to transfer to another school.

after all……

Isn’t it good to go to Orange County High School every day and live happily like a second stroke?

Why do you have to go to some bullshit private high school out of your mind?

Luke didn't say anything, just sent Lorna a look that said, I sympathize with you, but I can't do anything about it.

Lorna looked in front of her, it was just her first day of school, there was so much homework, and she couldn't help but look at Luke.

"Luke, can I apply to go back to Orange County High School?"

Should I strive to become an elite in a private college, or should I go back to a public college and live a happy life?

Lorna felt that she preferred the latter.

Luke's expression remained unchanged.

"can."

"really?"

Lorna's eyes lit up and she looked at Luke: "Can I really apply to go back to Orange County High School?"

"Of course. When Rachel comes back, I will tell Rachel that you don't like doing homework and want to go back to your original school. Although this is a bit of a waste of the favor that Rachel and I sent."

Luke said this, then shrugged and looked at Lorna: "But it's okay, who made you my sister? As long as my sister is happy, let alone go back to Orange County College, even if she goes directly to the prison in one step , I have no problem either.”

Lorna opened her mouth wide after hearing what Luke said.

Luke looked at Lorna with a smile.

"How about it, do you want me to call now?"

"...I'm not going to jail."

Lorna said, then silently lowered her head again, grabbed a piece of scratch paper, and immersed herself in recalculating the math problem on her homework.

When Lu Ke saw this, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

"correct!"

Lorna's eyes suddenly lit up, and she remembered something. She raised her head, leaned close to Luke behind the bar, and lowered her voice and asked, "Luke, did you know that Clarice is also a mutant?"

Luke paused while serving the wine and looked at Lorna.

"what?"

"I didn't expect it."

Lorna looked at the expression on Luke's face, showed a smile, and then shrugged: "I didn't expect it either."

Luke: "..."
