Various vehicles driven by the students were parked by the woods, and there was a bonfire on the beach, where a large group of people were laughing and drinking beer.
Selena looked a little more casual than usual in a loose-fitting salmon-colored bohemian maxi dress.
Luke was still the same as always, wearing a loose casual shirt, casual pants, and a pair of sneakers, looking no different from a middle school student.
The two blended into the reveling crowd without attracting anyone's attention.
Luke sighed.
Claire could now drink as much as she wanted. There were many students over 21 years old in this group, so she could buy large quantities of alcohol easily. No one would bother her and stop her from drinking.
However, Claire, who was chatting and laughing quietly with Karen and Hooks in the center, was just sipping beer in her hand.
Luke also gave her a thumbs up in his heart.
He was able to control himself in such a situation and not drink too much, so his self-control is pretty good.
In comparison, Karen and Hooks both drank more happily than her.
There was an external speaker on the beach, playing electronic dance music, which was actually Shila's old songs.
This big singer has seen a surge in popularity recently and is already sprinting towards the status of a top female singer.
If she could accomplish what Luke told her, she might actually be able to become one of the top female singers, but her methods were a bit biased.
But luck has always been part of the strength of successful people.
Good luck is an essential element to the success of most top stars.
Simply having strength does not guarantee that they will stand out from thousands of competitors.
Looking at the dancing crowd, Luke stretched out his hand to Selina and said, "Would you please do me a favor and dance with me?"
Selina was stunned for a moment, then she chuckled and held out her hand: "As you wish."
There were people dancing or chatting all around.
People were chatting and gathering around the fire, watching the people dancing enthusiastically around the fire in the center.
The dance they performed was the kind where they took off their tops and moved their bodies wildly.
Of course Luke and Selina would not join in the fun. They just stayed near the edge, hugging each other and dancing.
This is not a national standard dance competition venue, so no one is showing off their dancing skills. The people dancing in pairs on the periphery are just snuggling together and whispering.
The same thing happened to Luke and Selina, but their topic was a little off topic.
"Look, someone is trying to hook up with Claire." Selina reminded in a low voice.
Luke didn't take it seriously: "When she was in middle school, a lot of boys chased her. After she joined the cheerleading team, even more boys flocked to her. She knows her limits."
Selina: "Since we got here, at least four guys have approached her, one more than Miss Karen. Hmm, why don't I usually feel that she is so popular with boys?"
Luke chuckled: "What about you? It turns out that no one pursued you at Knox Middle School?"
Selina sighed, "It's different. Now that I think about it, the guys who pursued me were either Latinos or the serious ones were just trying to keep each other company. The white guys probably thought I was easy to hook up with."
Luke exclaimed softly, "And then? I seem to remember that Robert helped you deal with a few "small conflicts"?"
This was of course the past event he talked about with Robert after he and Selena became colleagues.
Selina chuckled: "I knocked out the teeth of three white boys who wanted to drug me, and I also took the drugs they had with them."
Luke understood.
The three boys' teeth fell out, which was irrefutable evidence that she had beaten them.
But with the evidence of drugs, if the school dares to touch her in any way, it will be blamed for racial discrimination.
"In fact, I was almost persuaded by the teacher to hand over the bottle of drugs." Selina whispered, "But Robert came over and pushed the teacher back in front of me."
Luke hummed.
Once this evidence is handed over, it is almost inevitable that the school will make a big deal out of a small matter.
In order to quickly calm the situation, they might even fire Selena, the "troublemaker," after all, she is just a Hispanic.
"I still remember that when Robert entered the office, he immediately locked the door, pulled out a gun, pointed it at the teacher's forehead and said, 'Believe it or not, if I shoot you to death, it can also prove that you wanted to destroy evidence for those little bastards and attack my niece.' At that moment, I suddenly felt that being a policeman was so awesome." Selina slowed down her pace, her eyes fixed on the night sky in the distance.
"Niece?" Luke asked curiously.
Selina chuckled: "If he didn't say he was my elder, it wouldn't be that easy to bluff him."
Luke understood: "That's right."
"After I became sheriff in Shackford, I realized that the police were not so impressive." Selina said, and couldn't help laughing: "Because it was Robert who was impressive, not the police."
Luke laughed too.
That's right.
Even if Robert was not the little sheriff, he would still have a bad temper and would still dare to point a gun at the teacher's head.
He still asked, "Didn't the teacher sue Robert later?"
Selina laughed out loud, her whole body shaking. "I was there at the time, and I really thought that if the teacher dared to say another word, Robert would blow his head off. Afterwards, the teacher didn't say a word, and he would stay away from me when he saw me."
Luke snorted.
Robert is not seen at home in this state.
Because Catherine was at home, this rough man never showed his violent side towards his family.
Selina: "After I came out, I was afraid to get close to Robert. But after I got in the car, he just threw the gun to me and asked me to play with it."
Luke: “Huh?”
"That's a simulation air rifle," Selina said.
Luke was speechless for a moment, then shook his head: "Robert can also be so insidious?"
"He's not as reckless as he appears." Selina: "Now that I've handled more cases, I've discovered that his methods are similar to yours. Well, you may not look alike in appearance, but you're very similar inside."
Luke said seriously: "Appearance is the key. He is not as handsome as me."
Selina laughed and slapped him on the back with her hand: "You stinky-faced guy!"
But Luke understood in his heart.
Selena was right when she said that she and Robert did things in a similar way.
Robert knew Flagg. He must have been in some secret service unit. His methods of doing things were both concise and fierce like a soldier, and cautious and meticulous like a secret service unit.
This is indeed similar to how Luke does things.
Selina is also an old detective with outstanding observation skills! He felt a little relieved.
After a moment, he felt a little amused: his mentality seemed a little... old.
As far as his sight went, he saw Claire chatting and laughing there. Luke had to admit that his mentality was indeed a little old.
Selina was already 25 years old, and he couldn't help but treat her as someone younger.
This is especially true for Claire, who is not even eighteen years old.
