Borrick didn't dare to say a word.
No matter how deep the water in Raccoon City is, Borrick couldn't find out much information.
He got Luke and the other guy over there, and almost got Thomas and himself into trouble.
Thomas was right to scold him; it was a really stupid and awful move.
Now looking at the performance of Luke and the other two, he felt even more uncomfortable.
If Luke and the other two started arguing with him, no matter whether they were right or wrong, Luke and the other two would be known as people who disrespected their superiors and did not obey management.
But although the two men did not conflict with him openly, their actions began to show that they were alienated from him. Borrick knew that there was no possibility of reconciliation between him and the two men.
The young Luke, with his calm expression, seemed to have seen through all his little thoughts.
But Borick couldn't turn back.
His status and position in the camp prevented him from bowing down to these two new rookies.
That afternoon, the two men received another case.
After Luke read the file this time, he went to find Borick and said, "Sir, it's not our turn for the Houston Police Department to intervene in this case, right?"
What he actually wanted to say was, aren't you afraid that the situation in Raccoon City will happen again
This is a case in Wolfkell, east of Houston, where a couple is said to be missing.
Borick remained calm and said, "Well, so, you are here to assist in the investigation and are only responsible for providing reference opinions. The local police department will be responsible for solving the case. Is that a problem? Our serious crime team handles many similar cases every year. If you are not satisfied, you can report to Chief Thomas."
Luke looked calm: "Okay, I understand. I will report it to the bureau." Then he turned around and left.
Borick looked cold and snorted in his heart: So what if I report it? This case is handled by Deputy Director Sadela. If you have the guts, ask Thomas to go and have a fight with him.
Thomas has always wanted to be promoted to chief, but if he offends all the other bigwigs in the police station, his plan to be promoted to chief will basically be ruined.
Berrick was hoping that Luke would go and make trouble with Thomas.
At that time, whether Thomas had a conflict with another deputy director, Sadra, or he felt that Luke and the other man were ignorant and were causing trouble for Thomas, it was all a good thing.
After thinking for a while, Borick made a phone call and said a few words before hanging up with a sneer: "Haha, I did give you a heads up in advance, it's not like I didn't help."
He actually called the sheriff of the small town of Wolfkell, and his tone was quite domineering and full of superiority.
If the sheriff is a normal person, he will not be able to stand this and will definitely teach Luke and the others a lesson.
After coming out of Berrick's office, Luke found Selina and the two drove off.
Selina looked at the files in the car and complained, "Another missing person case from another city? This can't be Director Thomas again..."
Luke: "Berrick is not that stupid. If there is any problem, it will be after we come back. Now we... well, forget it. We are here to investigate the case, not to do anything."
He remembered the time when he said he wanted to travel to Raccoon City and that the environment was nice, but Raccoon City was bombed to the ground.
He has such a bad mouth, it’s better not to set such a flag again.
Selina obviously thought of the same thing and nodded in agreement: "Yeah, we have to investigate the case carefully and never travel."
Luke: "... Could you please never say that word again? I have a bad feeling about this."
But he was thinking, where is the second Raccoon City, where is the second Umbrella Corporation? He didn't believe it.
I guess Berwick thinks the same way.
Selena: "Haha, yes, yes, I was wrong."
After driving for more than an hour, Luke suddenly frowned and stopped the car.
"What's wrong?" Selina asked.
Luke looked at the tire and frowned: "The tire is flat."
Selina: "Then change the tire. I'll help you."
Luke was speechless for a moment before he said, "The problem is, all three tires are flat, and we don't have three spare tires on the car."
Selena: “What?” How is it possible that all three tires are flat at the same time
Unfortunately, neither of them is an expert at car repair, and no matter how skilled they are, it is impossible for them to repair all three tires without tools.
Luke looked up and found that the location here was really a bit annoying.
It takes a hundred kilometers to get back to Houston, and the nearest small village or town is fifty kilometers away.
If they go forward, the town of Wolfkel is still forty or fifty kilometers away, and they are stuck in the middle.
He took out his cell phone and looked at it again, but there was no signal at all.
Luke thought about it and could only call Selina: "Let's go, get out of the car and walk forward."
Fifty kilometers was nothing to him. He could walk there slowly even if he carried Selina on his back.
The two of them didn't bring anything this time, just a backpack each.
After getting off the car, the two walked forward slowly.
Not long after we walked, we saw another car on the road ahead.
Unlike their sedan, this car was a trailer RV towed by a pickup truck.
Seeing the situation next to the RV, Luke and Selina looked sideways.
A family was making a lot of noise there, including a middle-aged couple, while a girl of about seventeen or eighteen was lying on a folding sofa chair, sunbathing in denim shorts and a light blue bikini, while a boy of about sixteen or seventeen was playing with two dogs beside her.
This... is really a farce.
Luke stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, are you heading to Wolfkel?"
The middle-aged man and woman stopped arguing when the two men came over. The man then stepped forward to answer, "Yes, you too?"
Luke nodded and was about to say something.
The middle-aged woman suddenly became happy: "Oh, that's great, can you help us pass on a message and ask for a tow truck? Our tire is broken."
Luke, Selina: "..."
The two of them wanted to take this car to Wolfkle together! Anyway, this RV is big enough, as long as the other party doesn't refuse them, they should have no problem hitchhiking.
Who knew that the other person also had a broken tire and had to stop here.
They both subconsciously looked down at the girl who was still lazily sitting on the side of the road basking in the sun.
It was this extremely leisurely posture that made them think that the family was taking a break and coming down to play.
Your car broke down in the wilderness with no village or shop nearby, but you are so leisurely. Is this really okay
Luke could only chat with the middle-aged man for a few more words before setting off again with Selina.
Since they couldn't rely on this family, they could only keep moving forward. If they really reached Wolfkker, it wouldn't be too much trouble to call a towing company for them.
The afterglow of the setting sun was spreading across the sky, and the two of them were not in a hurry to leave.
