The reason why Chris did not directly announce the closure of the mine was because it was his father's lifelong career and he felt deeply guilty towards his father.
Luke: "You can also go to Los Angeles. I happen to have some ideas about your mine. I'll let my secretary talk to you then."
Chris: "What?" You're a little detective, how come a secretary suddenly appears? And he acts like a big boss, are you kidding
Luke just patted his shoulder meaningfully again: "Chris, sometimes opportunities are right in front of you. It depends on whether you can seize them. Don't let Samantha down."
Chris looked at Samantha who was talking to Selena not far away.
That familiar and more mature charm made him unable to let go: "Okay, I'll go say hello to my aunt."
Luke waved his hand and said, "Let Gladys go with you, and take that little guy Bruce with you as well. I'll arrange food and lodging for you when we get there."
Chris went back dazed, totally confused as to what Luke was thinking.
Samantha was certainly out of the question; although she was so attractive, she was also thirty-eight.
But...
Chris's eyes moved to Ashley, who seemed to be the right age, standing next to Samantha.
But thinking of what Luke had shown last night, he subconsciously shook his head.
Ashley is the right age, but her temperament and style don't match Luke's at all.
Then he thought, Ashley has a sister, who is Luke's colleague.
No! This young detective already has that hot Selina detective by his side
Chris's mind became even more confused because of his excessive imagination.
In the end, Luke and his partner set off alone in the car.
However, both Samantha and Chris said that they would go to Los Angeles after two days to deal with things here.
There was no need to rush back, so Selina and Luke chatted for a while and then went to the back seat to catch up on some sleep.
Luke first turned the volume down low and turned on the radio.
“… God, aliens are coming to attack the earth. They have eight big claws and they jump around to kill humans…”
Luke: ... This seems to be the broadcast from the private radio station in Prosperity Town? This guy is actually fine? And SHIELD doesn't care about him
But on second thought, there are hundreds of townspeople, and it is impossible to completely silence them and prevent them from talking about it for the rest of their lives. The most we can do is to avoid making a big fuss about it.
What the hell is this guy talking about? Aliens, octopuses? People who don't know would think it's a tentacle monster.
There are at least 800 private radio stations across the United States reporting seeing these aliens every day, if not a thousand. No one would believe it.
He turned the radio again and finally tuned in a country song. Luke nodded with satisfaction and decisively... switched it off.
According to some rumors, listening to country music for too long can make you depressed.
Although Luke didn't believe the rumor, he wanted to hear something comforting.
After a moment, a melodious violin music began. He withdrew his hand, humming as he drove back.
We drove out of Arizona and into California.
It was afternoon now, and when the car passed a roadside, Luke couldn't help but stop the car.
Looking at this flat land with sparse trees and wide lawns, it is full of vitality under the bright afternoon sunshine. Faint wild flowers are interspersed among the large expanses of green, playfully revealing a little bit of brilliant colors of pink or light purple.
Luke couldn't help but turn his head to look at the woman who was sleeping soundly in the back seat. He chuckled, turned the steering wheel, and drove the car into the grass beside the road.
After a while, he woke Selina up: "It's time to eat."
Selina opened her eyes dazedly: "Ah? Are we in Los Angeles?" Sitting up, she looked towards the place where the voice came from.
Luke stood outside the open car door, with bright sunshine behind him and... grass, blankets, and food boxes.
Selina laughed, "Picnic?"
Luke smiled and pulled her out, revealing his left hand which had been placed next to the car.
In her hand was a small bunch of wild flowers, with pink, purple and white flowers tied together like stars. Although not gorgeous, it was very wild and interesting.
"My angel, do you like it?" Luke said with a smile.
Selina took the small bouquet from his hand, looked at it with satisfaction for a moment, and smiled brightly: "Yeah, I like it."
On the grass in the afternoon sun, the two of them laughed and chatted, leisurely eating a late lunch. The tension from last night's battle and the irritation from today's long questioning slowly faded away.
Not far away, in the open car door, the female announcer on the radio station was introducing something enthusiastically.
“… It’s time for spring camping again. Let’s see what suitable places are nearby.”
“…Choose the Salton Sea, where the lake is vast and there is plenty of space for most water activities,…Marsh Lake is moderately far away,…The Huntington Mountain Park, 73 kilometers southeast of Long Beach, is also good…”
“…Please be careful to avoid holidays with children…But the Kristal…the water is clear and is a favorite for children…”
Luke was chatting with Selina casually, but the classic opening line of a program in his previous life emerged in his mind: Spring is here, and it is another season for all things to communicate.
As the sun was setting in the afternoon, the two set out again. It was already night when they returned to Los Angeles, so they went straight home.
As soon as Selena entered the door, she went into the house. Soon she found a vase that had never been used and put the small bunch of wild flowers in it.
She didn't come out of the room until Luke prepared dinner and called her.
Just as the two were about to start eating, there was a knock on the door.
Selina went to open the door: "Oh, Lisa, are you here for dinner?"
Luke laughed in his heart: Among the things that someone hates most, having someone visit during dinner is undoubtedly one of them.
Although Selina's words were unpleasant, she had already let Elizabeth in.
Luke watched Elizabeth come in and said, "Want to eat together?"
Selina rolled her eyes, knowing that he would say that, and quickly returned to her seat to take the initiative, picking up a piece of beef and starting to chew it.
Elizabeth nodded readily without any hesitation.
She learned this from Selina and Elsa.
If a female detective in the serious crime squad is as reserved and timid as ordinary women, she should not be a police officer. It would be better for her to switch to a civilian job.
Luke did not talk about the current situation of Prosperity Town during the meal.
Elizabeth's family is all safe and there is no need to talk about those heavy things now.
With the three of them working together, dinner was quickly prepared.
After eating this time, Selena cleaned up the dining area and went to the kitchen to wash, leaving the living room to the master and disciple.
Elizabeth even flattered her: "Oh, Selina, the dinner you made was really great. You must teach me in the future."
Luke: Haha!
Selena: _!
