If they found goods and money, Luke would keep the money and destroy the goods. He would make these traffickers lose all their money and goods.
While chatting, Bell had already brought him to an old apartment.
Bell used the remote control key to open a rolling door on the first floor and drove the taxi in.
Luke was a little confused: "Are you trying to rob me? I've only been working for a few months and I don't have much money."
Bell laughed and slapped him on the shoulder. "You are very funny, kid. Get out of the car and take a look at the temporary guest room I found for you."
Go out from the small door on the side and go up to the third floor through an iron staircase on the outer wall. Several rooms appear in front of Luke.
"This is my boyfriend's house. He converted the third floor into a single apartment. There happen to be two rooms vacant, which can be rented to you and your companions for a few days," said Bell.
Luke: "... It's really unjust that you don't get rich."
Bell was even more delighted after hearing this: "You are so sweet, kid. Because of your sweet talk, I can rent this apartment to you at a lower price."
Luke: "Oh, no thanks. I'm on a business trip this time. As long as it doesn't exceed the quota, it doesn't matter if it's more or less."
Belle winked and said, "Hey, isn't that better? The money we save is... uh-huh." Her expression of "you know what I mean", combined with the black man's natural sense of humor, made Luke couldn't help laughing.
"No, Bell, the money is managed by my colleague. Yeah, so you know." He also put on a "helpless" expression.
Bell sighed regretfully: "Two rooms together, one hundred and twenty dollars a day."
Luke smiled and said, "Then let's charge one hundred and fifty dollars a day. Our limit is a bit higher."
Bell chuckled and patted his shoulder again, looking extremely satisfied.
Thirty dollars wasn't a lot, but Luke offered her a raise, so of course she was satisfied.
However, at this moment, a deep male voice suddenly came from behind: "Oh, damn, Bell, you actually like a white boy? And you brought him to my place and flirted with him in front of me?"
Luke and Belle turned around at the same time.
Then they saw a tall young man with decent looks among black people standing there, looking at the two of them with a look of despair on his face.
Bell immediately jumped one meter away, saying that he and Luke were innocent.
Luke also rolled his eyes: "Dude, do you have any misunderstanding about my aesthetics? Your girlfriend looks at least 35 years old, and I am at most 20 years old. How do you think your girlfriend is cheating on you?"
Well, after a few minutes, Luke knew that the two black men and women in front of him were a pair of funny people.
After hurting each other for a while, they became sweet and affectionate again.
Moreover, after hearing that Luke had temporarily rented two rooms and could be paid $150 a day, the black man named Jesse finally felt relieved: "You really are here to rent a room."
Luke: "Haha, yes. My colleague is a woman who is a bit higher than me, so you don't have to worry about me having any intentions towards Bell."
Jesse was not embarrassed at all: "Please forgive me, I love Belle too much, she is my treasure."
Luke got goose bumps all over his body, watching the two men and women being so sweet and affectionate again. He quickly said, "Bell, can you give me the key to the room first? And take me back there, I want to give the key to my colleague."
The two infatuated men and women said goodbye reluctantly.
Luke put their luggage into the room and asked Bell to take him back.
Seeing Luke coming back so quickly, Elsa wondered, "Why so soon?"
Luke told Elsa about Bell's help in renting her boyfriend's apartment to the two of them, and Elsa was speechless.
This black female driver is really good at making money.
I asked about the price, but Elsa didn't say anything.
If two people are working long-term, they can rent a suitable small apartment for $1,500 a month.
But the two of them were only renting the place temporarily for a few days, no more than ten days at most, so the price of US$150 a day was not excessive.
Anyway, it's within the budget, and Elsa, a career-oriented woman, doesn't care much about it.
Luke gave the key to Elsa, wrote down the address of the apartment for her, and left.
The reason given to Elsa was that he needed to familiarize himself with the environment here, at least the main roads.
Elsa didn't care.
The two of them had rested long enough in Iowa these past two days, and she would rather check Sergei's information here at the New York Police Department headquarters.
As for why Luke went out, she didn't care much.
She also began to understand Luke's style of doing things, knowing that he was an extremely steady and experienced guy, which was inversely proportional to his appearance.
Let him go out and learn about the situation around here, it might be of great benefit.
Before Elsa came here this time, she had discussed this with Dustin several times and was familiar with some of Luke's information.
For example, this young man had only been working officially for half a year, but he had killed more than 20 people. Those he killed were not ordinary minions, but fierce criminals in Mexican gangs.
Of course, another member of the Kongbu group died at his hands two days ago.
Elsa even thought that if they hadn't been on the plane and their guns had been checked in, Luke might have gone on a killing spree again. (There are usually air marshals on the plane, but they are disguised as normal passengers so they won't be exposed. The air marshals' guns are also special models to prevent them from shooting through the cabin and causing problems for the entire plane.)
He is dedicated in handling cases, does not try to take credit for himself, is ruthless, and kills people like crazy. Elsa no longer dares to underestimate this kind of partner as she did at the beginning.
Based on Luke's past record, she would have believed him if he had captured Sergei alone.
Although the possibility was small, Luke's past record and his actions on the plane not long ago gave her this expectation.
Therefore, she just asked Luke to pay attention to his phone and she would notify him at any time if there was any situation here, and then she let Luke go out.
This time, Luke really had no choice but to take the bus.
He first took the subway to Brooklyn, and then took a bus to travel around the area.
While walking around, he held the small notebook he had just brought and kept recording various information on it.
He mainly connected the information about the trafficking gangs provided by Bell with the information he saw in front of him.
This job definitely wouldn't be completed in a day or two, but Luke didn't plan to wait until everything was clear before starting.
In two or three days at most, he would select a group of people to take action, because Belit said that it would take three to five days to prepare for the arrest of Sergei.
Three days later, he could no longer stroll around so leisurely, and he had no time to practice a robbery.
I wandered around like this for two days, during which time I helped some people with small tasks.
Of course, Luke didn't do anything overtly, as it was a problem that he had no power to enforce the law.
