But Luke wasn't done yet.
He fished out two more business cards and stuffed them into her hands. "Your intelligence is very useful, but you should also have realized that the sewers are not safe. One of them is my personal phone number, and the other is the contact information of a community foundation. It is recruiting clerks and social workers, and provides food and accommodation."
Skye felt a little ashamed and reached out to stuff everything back: "No, what you gave me is enough. I can't take these. I will find a job and move away from there."
Luke didn't take her things. Instead, he put his hands on her shoulders and said seriously, "Skye, I'm a detective, and my partner is a powerful character who has been working for eight years."
Skye: “Huh?”
A powerful character: (*￣︿￣)
Luke: "So, you think we can't tell that you're under 18?"
Skye's expression suddenly became panic, but the hands on her shoulders immediately suppressed her.
Luke: "Okay, we are the police. We don't even need to call the police if we want to take you back to the police station."
Skye understood and lowered her head in embarrassment, but couldn't help but glance at him from the side.
Luke: "My request is simple. Move, go to a social worker foundation, do something within my ability, at least to get through this period of time."
Skye couldn't help but whispered, "But... I ran away from the boarding house."
As she said this, she paid attention to his and Selina's expressions, and found that they both looked calm.
Skye didn't know that the moment she entered the fast food restaurant, Sunglasses scanned her data, and Xiaowo found her information in less than two minutes.
Luke: "I will help you solve this problem as soon as possible. What do you need to do now?"
Skye: “… moving and working for the community foundation.”
Luke let go of her hand with satisfaction and patted her head with a smile: "Good girl! Go ahead, you must move out of there before tonight."
Skye nodded unconsciously and turned to leave.
After taking two steps, she suddenly came to her senses and turned back: "Well, thank you Luke."
Luke waved at her, signaling her to go quickly.
After watching the little girl run away, Selina came up to her and said with a grin, "What do you like about her now?"
As she said this, she subconsciously looked at her chest.
Although the little girl was a little thin, her figure was still quite impressive.
Luke put his arm around her shoulders and said, “Let’s talk in the car.”
Selina shut up, surprised.
Luke didn't want to talk at all on the street. He was afraid that the little girl Skye was not that simple, but she really couldn't tell what super powers she had.
After getting in the car, Luke spoke up, "Xiaowo, show Selina the information in Skye's computer."
The car was silent for a moment, and then Selina exclaimed: "What? A hacker who dropped out of high school? Could she be the legendary genius child who can type as soon as she touches a computer?"
Luke rolled his eyes. "This is much rarer than a toddler being able to type. Her hacking skills aren't that high, but it won't be hard to make a little money with this."
Selina was puzzled: "Then why does she live in the sewer?"
Before she could finish her words, she slapped her forehead and said, "I'm stupid. She ran away from her boarding house and she's still a minor, so it's hard for her to find a decent job. But it's not a big deal to make some money as a hacker, right?"
Luke: "She didn't think so. And look at the information she collected, the news excerpts."
Selina looked at her a few more times and suddenly laughed out loud: "So she's Batman's little fan girl. No wonder someone is so nice to her."
Luke: "I am attracted by her talent, OK?"
Selina's contemptuous look immediately opened up at full force.
Luke chuckled and said, "Of course, her genes are interesting. I plan to study them."
Selina: "Superpowers?"
Luke said helplessly: "Can you stop thinking of superpowers for everything? It can't be... er, well, it should be called resistance. Although it is rare, it is not very useful. Unless you plan to delve into genetics, I will hand over this scientific research task to you."
Selena decisively refused: "Go and have fun by yourself. I don't want to be a homegirl."
Her hobbies and talents had been tested countless times, and scientific research was definitely not among them, let alone something like genetics.
Even Luke himself admitted that he actually had a headache with genetics, and he was forced to take on the job just to be a private doctor for the two of them.
Selena knows her own limitations and won't waste her energy on such a thankless task.
Besides, she already has a lot of training and courses, and she really doesn't have time to add a genetics course.
Changing the subject, she asked, "Then why don't you help her move?"
Luke shook his head: "She is too vigilant and has too much self-esteem. Today is our first contact. If we are too active, she may misunderstand."
Selina pouted: "It's okay, the aunt's reception can be handled by your smile, and this little girl is no problem either."
Luke: “Hehe.”
So, people are different.
A girl who can resist pheromone manipulation and has a pretty face is definitely more desirable than being treated like a middle-aged woman.
He was not a saint, so of course he chose to focus on Skye instead of paying attention to the meaningless reception from the aunt.
Besides, he has already met the waitress who really needs attention, and she is super aggressive.
After some nonsense, Selina got down to business: "What about the sewer? Shall we go there at night?"
Luke hummed, "Safety first. Besides, I really don't want to go down wearing this. It stinks."
Selina nodded: "I think so too."
In fact, the sewers are not only smelly, but also very dirty.
The armor designed by Luke had already taken this aspect into consideration. After all, a Batman who doesn't crawl into the sewers is not a good Batman.
The armor has an internal circulation system that can provide oxygen and avoid inhaling possible toxic gases.
Secondly, the armor itself is not easy to be attached to dirt, and it has its own cleaning function, which can quickly remove dirt and odors.
This is for safety reasons.
If Batman and Catwoman came out smelling like heroes, everyone would know that they had gone into the sewer.
Maybe someone will start setting traps in the sewers to deal with them.
Moreover, the stench can easily leave traces near the entrances and exits of the sewer, exposing the two people's movement routes.
Put on the armor and go in to explore the sewer environment in this area as soon as possible. Not only will it facilitate the investigation of the case, but it will also allow us to continue to improve the distribution map of New York's sewers, killing two birds with one stone.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the sky finally darkened, and Luke's group of two people and one dog all put on their armor and set off.
On the way to the Brooklyn beach, Selina couldn't help but remind him, "Hasn't that little girl called yet?"
Luke frowned. "No. There's no news from the Community Foundation either."
Selina: "Did she lose track of time while surfing the internet in the sewer? Nugget always does that."
Gold Nugget: “Boo-hoo?”
Selina: "I said you lost track of time while surfing the Internet, not that you surfed the Internet in the sewer."
Gold Nugget: (╯▽╰)
Luke: ... You two are truly made for each other.
