Although Samantha is nearly forty years old, she is still in her prime. Among all the people Luke has met, only Mei in the afternoon can be compared with her.
Ashley is young and is a girly version of Samantha, and she has the same broad-mindedness as her mother.
If Luke were to get closer, it would easily cause misunderstanding, so Selina was responsible for entertaining the mother and daughter.
Gladys is old and experienced and can take care of herself.
Elizabeth is a "family member" of both parties, and the harmonious atmosphere is the best. She can also take care of her younger siblings.
Luke pulled Chris aside to talk alone.
The others had no intention of coming over, but from time to time they turned their attention to the two men who were drinking, eating meat and chatting next to them.
Just as Mike was about to go over to join in the fun, he was stopped by his eldest sister, Elizabeth, whom he respected the most.
Luke and Chris' conversation didn't last long, only half an hour.
Finally, he patted Chris on the shoulder and said, "If you're willing, call this number. This is the contact information of my secretary Ginny. I've been busy with work recently and may not have time to discuss this in detail, but you can come to me if you encounter any difficulties."
Chris silently put away the business card, and the two returned to the center of the dinner, but Chris was obviously distracted.
More than an hour later, Luke and his companion sent the group to the door, where Bobby was already waiting in his car.
Luke smiled and said, "I told you guys I'll take care of your food and lodging when you come over to play. Let this manager Bobby Max take you to the hotel. The rooms have already been booked."
Elizabeth wanted to say something but stopped herself when she saw Luke looking at her with a smile.
Luke's attitude was gentle but firm, and finally Elizabeth helped to say a few words, and the family finally followed Bobby to the hotel.
After watching the two cars leave, Selina asked, "You're not an adventurous person, why are you so enthusiastic?"
Luke chuckled, put his arm around her shoulders and walked into the house: "Go in first, I'll tell you slowly."
After returning to the house, he explained the whole story to Selina, and she was shocked: "Are you kidding?"
Luke shrugged, "No. In fact, I brought back evidence and verified it myself."
Selina: "... I knew you wouldn't be so positive if there was no benefit."
Luke chuckled and said nothing. He picked up the phone and told Ginny about Chris.
Then the two of them trained separately, and then Selina fell asleep while Luke continued to work hard.
After the battle in which Smith hid in the apartment building, Luke still discovered some problems.
He needs to consider the application of weapons in more environments, such as subsonic bullets.
A subsonic bullet is a bullet that leaves the barrel at a speed lower than the speed of sound.
Since the muzzle velocity is lower than the speed of sound, the sound of the gun will naturally be greatly reduced.
In order to achieve this effect, subsonic bullets generally take the approach of reducing the amount of powder.
However, doing so will reduce the accuracy of the firearm and the barrel will become contaminated quickly.
In order to solve this problem, the shape and weight of the bullet must be changed.
In this way, everything from Luke's gun to the bullets will be special products.
Of course he would not buy it openly. The purchasing channels for such special bullets were a problem, and the effect of the purchased ones would not be as good as those he modified himself.
Subsonic bullets combined with a special silencer can turn a pistol into an almost silent pistol.
That’s right, this is Luke’s exclusive tool for shooting from behind.
Since it is a hidden gun attack, many problems of subsonic bullets are not very important.
Generally speaking, when he uses this kind of bullet, it is basically within a range of fifty meters.
Like in the battle where Smith was hiding in the apartment building, Luke was less than twenty meters away from the gunmen.
A little less accuracy and power are acceptable.
He just needs to practice a few more times to get used to the characteristics of this black gun-exclusive item.
Moreover, the essence of shooting from behind is to hide oneself.
If you don't want to expose your own position, the frequency of attacks cannot be too high. Therefore, only a small number of bullets for this special weapon need to be stored, and a few hundred rounds are enough.
Luke felt that there was no place where he could use up so many subsonic bullets.
The workload was not huge, and he had gotten the bullets out in the last few days.
He took the modified P226 in his hand and tried it out. It felt good, so he went to bed contentedly.
The next day, the two arrived at the police station. As soon as they sat down at the desk, Luke was beckoned into the office by Elsa.
When he entered the room, Elsa came over with a piece of paper and slapped it on his chest.
Luke caught it: "What is this?"
Elsa: "Your new case!"
Luke unfolded the folded thick paper and found it was an event poster.
He was suspicious: "Spring camping? What does this have to do with me?"
Elsa explained, "Los Angeles Public High School No. 37 (this high school is purely fictitious) is a friendly school of our West District Police Department. Every year, it interacts with our police department. For example, our police department sends elite detectives to provide some daily training and safety guidance for their school's various camping activities, and to keep an eye on these overly energetic children. You know, every year there are always a few naughty children who get into trouble around the camping site, get lost, fall into the water, and fall into a pit. These are common situations."
Luke was speechless for a moment, then said, "You don't have to be so exaggerated. Boss, you're actually going to drive me to Crystal State Park? It's 80 kilometers away from Los Angeles. Do I have to drive another hour or two home after get off work?"
Elsa said calmly, "Yes. In order to save you the trouble of traveling, the camping management office will provide you with a free dormitory, and the food expenses will be reimbursed by the bureau."
Luke: “… You’ve arranged everything, right?”
Elsa looked at him and nodded slightly: "You have done a good job. The boss and I think it's best for you to leave for a few days."
Luke was helpless: "What about the time?"
Elsa: "Let's set off today. The police officers over there will wait until the handover is completed before returning. You'd better arrive before four o'clock in the afternoon to complete the handover of the mission."
What could Luke say? He could only nod and try to go out.
"Leave Selina to me. There is only one spot available for the fellowship detective over there," Elsa added.
Luke turned his head and said, "... It's a waste for you not to go into human resources management, boss."
Elsa: "This is what I studied in college. Do you have any problem with that?"
Luke: “… No more.”
After coming out, he told Selina about it, which earned her a look of despair: "No, what will I do if you leave?"
Luke said helplessly: "Don't worry, I will go home and pack my things first, and prepare your snacks and food for the next few days. You won't be hungry."
Selina said with a sad face: "But, you are on vacation, but I have to work hard here."
Luke chuckled: "Okay, don't be so active when you can be lazy. I taught you that a long time ago."
