Luke explained the situation on Jennifer's side, without mentioning Jennifer's name, but just gave a general description of the content of the job.
After hearing this, Sheila said that Brian and his team should take the business as long as they had the time and the money was enough.
Luke got Uncle Brian's phone number, thanked Sheila, and hung up.
Jennifer, who was standing next to him, also heard most of what Luke said and was quite satisfied.
The nursing team is good, so that they don’t have any bad thoughts about her, which would be too annoying.
Moreover, since he can be Sheila's security guard, he doesn't have to wait for Jennifer to come to him if he wants to make money.
Luke contacted Brian and soon got a positive response.
Brian is happy to provide services to these big stars, with short hours and high prices, and the payment is quick.
The two talked for a few words and then agreed that he would come immediately to talk further.
More than half an hour later, Brian arrived, but he didn't come alone.
Luke smiled and stood up and waved, "Hi, Brian, it's great to see you again."
Brian also responded with a smile: "It's you. Um, Luke, right? I didn't expect that we can work together again."
Luke shook his head quickly: "No, I'm really not good at security, so I thought of you. Things still need to be confirmed by both parties."
Brian smiled and nodded, not caring about it. On that seemingly ordinary old face, there was still that restrained smile.
Luke then turned his head and said with a smile: "Hi, nice to see you again, Jin. You are more beautiful than last time."
Brian: ⊙_⊙
Selena: ⊙_⊙
Jennifer: ⊙_⊙…
Jin's face showed a look of reminiscence, and after a moment he exclaimed: "You are... that, um Luther? Oh no, it's Luke! The one on the plane."
Luke smiled and nodded: "Haha, it seems that I have not been completely forgotten. I am really lucky."
Turning his head to look at the expressions of the crowd, he explained, "Last time I was on a business trip, I happened to sit next to Jin and her classmate on a plane, so we chatted. After getting off the plane, I was busy with work and didn't have a chance to contact them again."
Everyone suddenly realized, but also sighed: This is too much of a coincidence.
Brian then introduced Kim's identity.
As for why she brought her daughter to meet her employer, no one present asked, but from the excitement and admiration on Kim's face when he looked at Jennifer, one could guess a rough idea.
However, Jin was very well behaved and did not interrupt the conversation except for a polite greeting.
Uncle Brian was a very concise and efficient man. He understood Jennifer's thoughts in just a few words. He didn't ask for any further information and just said directly that he could take the job.
Seeing this, Luke smiled and stood up: "Then we'll take our leave first. Jennifer, if you have any questions, you can call me."
Jennifer nodded: "Okay, thank you, Luke."
Due to this delay, it was already eleven o'clock. Luke and his companions simply packed up a bunch of Mexican food and took it back to the police station.
When she saw Elsa, Selina spoke first: "Haha, there's something delicious today, boss."
Elsa looked at the bags the two were carrying and just nodded, but she said, "I've asked Simmons to follow up on the Toth case. Are you interested in taking on a new case?"
"What case?" Luke became interested when he heard it.
The cases that Elsa seeks advice on are generally not ordinary cases.
Elsa picked up the phone on the table and dialed: "Lisa, come in."
Elizabeth came in quickly, and when she saw Luke and Selina, she smiled sheepishly, "Well, Luke, Selina, hello."
Elsa motioned for her to close the door, then said, "Lisa found me and asked me to help with this case. There are no urgent cases here, so I thought of you."
Luke and Selina looked at each other: "Business trip?"
Elsa nodded and let Elizabeth speak for herself.
Elizabeth then began to speak.
It turned out that Elizabeth's home was in a small town in the neighboring state of Arizona. She was admitted to a university here and stayed here to work after graduation.
I have a mother, a younger sister and a younger brother in my hometown in a small town.
There have been a sudden number of disappearance cases there recently. At first, it was some families' cats and dogs, but in the past two days, two living people have gone missing.
Luke was surprised: "This, we need to go over there?"
The last time I went to Woodsburg, it was because of Deputy Director Condra's relationship, and it was also in the Greater Los Angeles area, so it was barely close to it.
But this case involves multiple states, so it would be a bit too much for them to intervene.
Elizabeth said shyly: "My mother... is the sheriff of the small town."
Luke and Selina both realized: This is a female version of Robert!
In a small town like this, the sheriff is basically the number one person in the police station. If he wants to hire someone, he really doesn't have to care about other people's opinions unless it costs a lot of money.
Can Luke and the other two go over and ask for money
The two looked at Elizabeth and sighed helplessly in their hearts: How is this possible
This is a typical case of favors.
Elsa didn't let the two take over directly, but let them make their own choice.
There is nothing wrong with either of them answering the call or not.
After all, the last case in Woodsburg was done with the help of Deputy Director Condra, but this case was brought to you by Elizabeth.
She was just a rookie detective, and favors were worthless.
Luke was silent for a moment before asking, "Let's go over there, does your mother know?"
Elizabeth was happy: "As long as you are willing to go over, I will call her and promise to help you as much as possible."
Luke held his forehead with his hand: "So, your mother doesn't know you're looking for us?"
Elizabeth chuckled and didn't answer, but the answer was obvious.
Luke sighed and said, "Lisa, how about you contact your mother first and make sure she won't be upset about us interfering in her area of responsibility, and then we can go over there?"
This is already giving Elizabeth a lot of face.
If it were any other experienced detective, they would be considered polite if they didn't call Elizabeth a pig-brained person.
Only Elizabeth knew that Luke had a good temper, otherwise she would not have dared to say this.
The main reason was that her mother seemed a little worried. Her sister and brother called her separately and told her some sensational rumors, which made her, as an elder sister, feel worried.
She then made this extraordinary request.
Otherwise, how could she, who had just joined the serious crime squad, dare to ask a top detective like Luke to help her on a business trip
With the funding of the police station in the small town where her mother works, the most they can reimburse is some accommodation and fast food expenses.
Elizabeth ran out happily and hid somewhere to make a phone call.
Here, Elsa looked at him: "You won't reject her?"
Luke chuckled and said, "Boss, if you wanted to reject her, didn't you say so a long time ago? I know that you actually admire her."
Elsa nodded helplessly. "Yes, she is careful and smart, and is willing to look up information and files honestly, unlike other newcomers who are so rough. After working for a few years, her ability will be almost as good as Selina's."
