Thomas watched Selena go out, went to lock the door himself, turned his head and walked a few steps, pondered for a moment before saying: "Luke, you are very smart. You must have guessed some things, your offer is indeed Tonys Tucker's handwriting."
At this point, he paused, and continued: "Also, I want to tell you some bad news. Someone has already noticed the wind of the Wolf Kerr case and started investigating you. Although they may not immediately do something to you What, but with the influence of those game players' families, it is not too difficult to set up a trap for you, after all, they have a lot of connections in the local area."
Luke knew what was going on just after thinking about it for a while.
Thomas told them part of the identity and background of the host Charlie Diaz last time, and nothing else, but that person is indeed very rich, a person of the rich class.
Being rich, you can really do whatever you want in America most of the time - as long as you don't mess with someone richer and more powerful.
If Luke and the others stay here, the family members of those game players will come to trouble him sooner or later.
Thomas's words are still reserved, and it is not uncommon for him to directly use methods such as Didi to kill people seriously, and find a bunch of killers to make Luke and Luke disappear.
The deeper reason is that Thomas has to withstand a lot of pressure for them.
But... What if one day he can't stand it anymore
Looking at his expression, Thomas knew that he probably understood, and then continued: "You are Robert's child, and I will not hide anything from you. Tony Stark promised that once the police station let you and Selena go to Los Angeles, He will donate a sum of money to establish a charitable fund dedicated to helping the wounded and deceased officers of our West Police Department."
Luke understood in seconds.
This thing is a big killer for a big guy like Thomas, especially since he is trying to be promoted to the official director recently, no wonder he is tempted.
With this thing, the grassroots police officers of the West District Police Station would not like the above.
Of course, more importantly, Thomas is the only contributor to this charity fund, and all police officers must remember the kindness of the deputy chief.
Speaking of the transfer, it is beneficial to both Luke and Thomas.
Luke pondered for a moment, and said, "I want to discuss it with Selena."
Thomas looked at his expression, and finally added a little more bargaining chip: "I have won a favorable condition for your transfer. The Los Angeles West District Police Department must give you the same treatment, and I plan to promote you and Selena's police ranks again. level one."
Luke shook his head as soon as he heard it: "No need, I'm only nineteen years old, and Selena is not yet twenty-five. It's too eye-catching to be promoted to the third-rank police detective."
Thomas froze for a moment, not expecting Luke to say that.
Luke continued: "Besides, we are still young, and we are not even familiar with grassroots work experience. It is easy to make mistakes when we get promoted."
Thomas: "...Really?" He was quite incredulous about this.
In this world, there are not many police detectives who don't like to be promoted, and even most people in most professions want to be promoted.
But immediately, Luke showed an embarrassed and distressed expression: "Director, you may know that I have been working here for less than a year, and I finally bought a car with my previous savings, but I ended up with a business trip to Raccoon City. Yes. Selena’s family is very ordinary, and she has to send money back to her family regularly. She has three younger brothers and sisters. It will be poor for a month. So, can the Bureau help to find a way?"
Thomas: ...
How can the Bureau find a way to help? The public funds in the bureau are all watched by someone.
Now that Thomas is seeking a promotion, he is more careful about these fallible questions.
It's just the salary increase brought about by the promotion. The performance of Luke and the two is obvious, and they will be transferred soon. Even the first salary after the promotion has to go to the Los Angeles Police Department to collect it. Of course, Thomas is not afraid.
Thomas was distressed: Houston must not give money casually, even if he got the charity fund, he couldn't directly give money to Luke and the others.
Otherwise, if someone with ulterior motives propagandizes and falsely accuses Thomas of giving Luke and Luke the pension of the disabled policeman who died in the line of duty, it would be terrible.
Thomas can neither pay for it himself, nor let the police pay for it... Hey, wait!
The Houston West Police Department can't afford it at will, but the Los Angeles Police Department can.
Houston has interests here, and of course the Los Angeles Police Department cannot do good deeds purely.
So if Luke and the two don't go there, will Tony Stark fulfill the benefits promised in advance
It's not just Thomas who is in a hurry now, the Los Angeles Police Department...should be in a hurry too, right
Thinking of this, Thomas nodded: "Well, I'll think of a way to see if I can solve this problem. You can discuss it with your partner first, and we must agree on it, so it will be convenient for me to reply there, understand?"
Luke nodded quickly: "Thank you so much, Director. I'll go out first."
Thomas nodded: "Go."
Luke took two steps, and suddenly turned around and asked, "Oh, Director, before I came here, Berrick was still congratulating us on our promotion."
Thomas was taken aback for a moment, and then there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and a sneer flashed in his eyes: "Hehe, in a few days, if you haven't left yet, you can go to "congratulate" him."
Luke cast doubtful eyes: "Huh?"
Thomas: "Well, if you have connections in the fbi, you might be able to visit him at his new address."
Luke grinned, turned around and stood up straight, and saluted respectfully: "Thank you, Director."
Thomas just waved his hand, indicating that he could go.
Walking out of the deputy director's office, the corners of Luke's mouth curled up slightly: Oh yeah! I will not stop you from pursuing a more "beautiful" future, Chief Berrick!
While returning to the serious crime team, he was thinking.
This trip to Los Angeles, he is still willing to accept.
Going to Los Angeles, it's no worse than he was in Houston.
Especially the revenge of the family members of those gamers, the uncertainty is too great, it is better for him to leave Texas.
Robert needs to make a phone call to remind him not to be too careless and to be bullied.
Luke was very helpless about this.
If possible, he would rather not run into that hunting club player, because once the game starts, they won't let him go.
As long as he is alive, it is the evidence of the other party's hunting and killing. This is an irreconcilable contradiction.
The current situation cannot be said to be the best, but it is not the worst either.
As for the thoughts of Tony Stark, who made great efforts in his illegal transfer, Luke didn't care much.
At most, Tony Stark would try to slap him in the face, he would not use violence, let alone vent his anger on his family.
