Although Borick was dissatisfied, Deputy Chief Thomas had made it clear that he supported the two new detectives. It was impossible for him to target them for no reason.
The serious crime squad is always busy, so it's okay to have two rookies. We can just send them to follow up on some less serious cases.
The decisive Borick came in and called a female police officer to arrange seats for the two of them.
Then he turned to look at the two of them: "Selina, you go with Barclay, Luke, you go with Ferrino, and let Millie take you there. Just follow and learn more, and don't mess around."
After saying that, he wanted to leave.
Lu Ke spoke up: "Captain Boric, can we just team up as a group?"
Borrick's face darkened. He hated this kind of troublemaker the most, especially the one who came in through the back door.
But with Chief Thomas's clear instructions, he could only suppress his anger and ask, "Why?"
Lu Ke's face was calm: "Because Selina and I were originally partners, and we work very well together."
Borick's expression remained unchanged, but he asked, "Oh, she cooperated well? Did she applaud when you issued the ticket?"
Lu Ke smiled and said, "No. More than a month ago, we teamed up to kill ten Mexican gunmen who attacked us."
Borick was stunned: "What did you say?"
Lu Ke: "The details of the case are in our files. I don't mean to brag, but I think you must understand, sir, how important it is for a police officer to have a partner who can trust his back."
Borick frowned, hesitated, and finally said, "Then you guys take care of other things first and come to my office before you get off work."
The two then followed the policewoman named Millie to go through various procedures.
This includes collecting your police uniform, ID, and money.
The money is used to purchase a series of equipment, such as a gun, which you can buy yourself.
Batons, belts, holsters, and even riot spray were all purchased with this money.
Anyway, as long as it complies with police regulations, the police don’t care which store you buy it from.
Then the two of them returned to their desks, asked Millie for cleaning tools, and started cleaning themselves.
The two of them were in sync and chose a group of seats in the corner again.
The lighting here is not very good, so there are two sets of tables empty.
The two chose the innermost group, which was four or five meters away from the nearest group, so it was relatively more private.
At least Selina thought that if she put the two chairs together, she could hide in the innermost one and sleep.
Both of them moved very quickly. Lu Ke's strength and agility were beyond ordinary people. He was also good at cleaning up and finished the cleaning work in less than half an hour.
Selina went to return the cleaning supplies on her own initiative. She packed less than half of what Lu Ke had packed, so she could only be more diligent in running errands.
After reading the information of the two people, Borrick's eyes were filled with shock.
Killing 13 AK-wielding gang gunmen in one night, this kind of record was actually achieved by a child who was less than 19 years old? It is simply unbelievable.
But he had to believe it.
The file clearly stated that the FBI was in charge of this case and Lu Ke's police station was only assisting.
Therefore, if it was not true, the FBI would never give the credit to a young man like Lu Ke.
In comparison, Selena's information seems a lot more normal.
However, under the sudden attack of ten gunmen, this beautiful policewoman in her twenties was able to fight back with a gun. Not only was she not killed on the spot, she even injured one of the gunmen.
No female police officer in Borick's serious crime squad has such courage and ability. There may be one or two men who can do this, but they must be veteran detectives with at least ten years of experience.
Unexpectedly, the two people squeezed in this time were not the incompetent, purely gilded second-generation people, but truly capable people.
When the serious crime squad is investigating a case, it is certainly not enough to just be able to fight.
The major crime squad would definitely welcome any subordinates who might be beaten.
With Lu Ke’s combat record, he will be sent out in future major operations to deal with fierce criminals.
Don't talk about killing thirteen at one. Killing two or three stubborn opponents at the critical moment is guaranteed to make most criminals' psychological defenses collapse.
Thinking in his mind, Boric didn't care about Lu Ke's recklessness just now.
The Serious Crime Unit is not a place where you can gain a foothold by flattering others.
The first thing to look at here is strength, followed by the ability to handle things.
If it comes to capable subordinates, Borrick might give them a beating or target them, but he won't simply drive them away.
That's something young people would do.
As long as he can still control it and it's useful, Borick doesn't mind tolerating Lu Ke's weird temper. Besides, Deputy Director Thomas is standing behind him.
Let them try first!
Thinking of this, Borick looked outside the office and soon found the two people in the corner.
It was just when the two were about to finish cleaning up. Borick saw that the two rarely talked to each other, but they worked in perfect harmony and finished cleaning up quickly.
Then the two of them didn't talk at all. After Lu Ke finished cleaning up, he threw the supplies away and sat down. However, Selena naturally took the cleaning supplies, put them together and took them away.
Borick sighed inwardly: This Luke is really not bragging. With such a tacit understanding between the two, they would certainly prefer to continue to work together rather than adapting to a new partner.
Withdrawing his gaze, Boric made a decision and called Millie to ask them to come in.
After the two came in, Borick didn't waste any words. He just said that they could continue to work together, but if they didn't perform well, they would have to separate and follow the old detective to learn how to handle cases.
This time, Boric did not ignore the two men as he did before, but paid attention to their expressions.
Selina looked happy, but Lu Ke smiled and said thank you.
Looking at Lu Ke's performance, Borrick was surprised.
He is the leader of the serious crime squad and is very good at observing others and finding flaws.
Now that he was really paying attention to the two of them, he easily discovered that the young man Lu Ke was the dominant one among them.
Similarly, Lu Ke was obviously the calmer of the two. Even his smile was just a mask. There was no real emotion in it. It was more like pure courtesy.
In his mind, Boric labeled Lu Ke as someone who needed further observation, while Selena just paid a little attention to him before letting the two leave.
The two had just arrived in Houston and still had to figure out where to live.
Regarding these matters, Borick directly asked the two men to ask Millie, the female police officer who was a civilian and specialized in handling these logistical tasks.
Millie was indeed a professional. She didn't even look for anyone else. She just spent two minutes on the computer and printed out a rental list. All of the apartments on the list were near the West District Police Station and were suitable for two people to share.
