Lu Ke raised the paper bag in his hand and said, "Look, I even brought your lunch, so you can just do more work."
Selina pouted but didn't bring up the topic: "Where are we going to stay when we get there?"
Lu Ke groaned, "We? Where do we live?"
There seems to be something wrong with this statement.
Selina was surprised: "That's Houston. Do you want to live in a three-story building like Shackelford? Do you have that much money?"
Lu Ke finally understood. He had been thinking about other things recently and had no time to think about this. He quickly asked humbly, "What are your plans?"
Selena: "It's simple. We rent together."
Lu Ke nodded: "And then?"
Selina: "That way, we can use your car to go to and from get off work, which saves us some transportation money."
Lu Ke: ... So you were waiting for me here.
Selina: "Can you cook? If you can, we can save some money."
Lu Ke knelt down to Selina, who was so thrifty. She had taken all the considerations into consideration, except for the first item, such as food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Well, it's all considered from his side.
Facing Lu Ke's subtle expression, Selina felt a little embarrassed: "I have no choice. It's better to save some money when I just go there. You know I don't have much savings."
Lu Ke: "Haha."
It's not that she doesn't have much savings, but there are not many young people in the United States who have savings. Even middle-aged people don't have much savings. Everyone spends money on credit cards and loans like crazy. They just use the money first and pay it back slowly over their lifetime.
Lu Ke was feeling lucky at this moment. Fortunately, he brought back 10,000 US dollars for the purpose of doing experiments when he went to Mexico last time. Otherwise, he would have to eat dirt when he went to Houston this time.
Of course, more importantly, he roughly confirmed some system rules from that experiment, which would not prohibit him from taking advantage of others.
There is no need to do such things as eating for free, because then Lu Ke would no longer be a freeloader, but a dirty-cop.
Given the nature of the system, it is unknown whether he will still recognize himself as the host after becoming a black policeman.
He certainly couldn't afford to lose the big picture for the sake of a small amount of money and take the risk of the system disappearing.
The two drove all the way to Houston.
For lunch, the two of them just found a gas station and ate the lunch that Lu Ke brought.
After finishing the meal, Selina, who was gradually becoming more shameless, said, "Oh, my idea was right. You are a person who knows how to budget and live. Just for this meal, the two of us saved at least ten dollars."
Lu Ke: ...Thank you so much for your praise.
After resting for one night in a motel, they continued on their journey the next day and arrived at the Houston West District Police Station at three o'clock in the afternoon.
After finding the deputy director's office, Lu Ke and his companion went in and met their boss's boss.
Robert said that the two of them could just go and find a seat with Chief Thomas Parker.
He mentioned to Lu Ke that this person was his real friend.
Among the four iron men in life, Chief Thomas is the absolute iron buddy who has carried guns with Robert and shared the spoils with him.
Of course, the division of the spoils was just Lu Ke's guess.
Thomas is a black man in his forties who has gained some weight. It is obvious that his position as deputy director has reduced his amount of exercise significantly.
However, thanks to the leisurely country life, Robert has plenty of time to exercise and maintain his body shape.
After accepting the salutes and greetings from the two men and looking through their transfer orders and files, Thomas didn't say much.
In fact, his identity did not require him to meet the two young detectives in person, but since Robert the Boss had spoken, he had no choice but to show up in person.
Things like old iron are valuable if you say they are valuable, and worthless if you say they are worthless.
But for Robert, Thomas was different.
He knew how powerful Robert was, and that he was not the only buddy behind Robert.
In the team back then alone, there were no less than ten people whose lives were saved by Robert, and it was not just once.
Perhaps some people will forget the life-saving grace, but no one wants to be known as ungrateful among their old friends.
Robert rarely asked them to do anything, so the favor was even more important.
Now that Robert had asked him to arrange positions for two people, he had to take over.
Moreover, Robert also asked another great god to say hello, so this request could not be refused.
Besides, the positions Robert asked for the two were not high, just horizontal transfers.
It wasn't too difficult for Thomas to arrange two detectives into the serious crime squad.
The two are police officers in the sheriff's system, which is somewhat different from the city PD.
Especially Lu Ke, who is less than 19 years old and has very little work experience, but his resume is amazing.
Thirteen gang gunmen were killed in one night.
Such a record can hardly be found in the small town of Shackelford, let alone in Houston.
Thomas did not doubt the authenticity of the information, and Robert would not lie about such a thing.
Even though Lu Ke was a rookie who had only been a police officer for three months, Thomas would still help if Robert asked.
Besides, this case was handled jointly with the FBI. Robert didn't have the ability to ask those FBI guys with eyes on their foreheads to help a small policeman to commit fraud.
It can be said that even if Thomas used his authority to transfer the two men to the West District Police Station, which violated regulations, he still has an excuse.
Their achievements are there!
Anyone who questions the injustice can go and fight against more than a dozen gunmen alone. As long as they can kill a small number of Lu Ke, Thomas will dare to decide to put him in the serious crime team.
The West District Police Department has always been in short supply of such super warriors who can fight and fight, so it is normal to recruit two of them.
But the deputy director's style could not be lost, so Thomas just said a few words of encouragement, without being particularly friendly, and called their direct superiors to come and pick them up.
Well, this is actually a clear indication.
The head of the serious crime squad came to the deputy director's office to receive two new team members. Anyone who is not a fool would understand what this means.
Everyone was very busy, and Thomas and the head of the serious crime squad finished their conversation in just a few words.
The two men saluted and said goodbye, then followed their direct superiors to take up their new posts.
At this moment, Berwick was quite dissatisfied.
For no apparent reason, two detectives were stuffed into his serious crime squad, and they turned out to be two rookies.
Selena is a Hispanic, and Hispanics are famous for not looking old. At the age of 24, she looks younger than many 20-year-old white girls.
Lots of exercise and the comfortable environment of rural Texas make her full of energy.
Not to mention Lu Ke. After his physique was strengthened, his skin became delicate and fair, making him look younger and more like a high school student.
Is this boy really a policeman? Is he just a rookie who has only issued a few tickets
With this feeling of dissatisfaction, Borick walked into the serious crime team office with a dark face.
