The reason why Chris didn't directly announce the closure of the mine was because it was his father's lifelong career, and he felt very guilty towards his father.
Luke: "You can also go to Los Angeles. I just have some ideas about your mine. I will ask my secretary to talk to you then."
Chris: "hat?" You are a little police detective, why did a secretary suddenly appear? Still acting like a big boss, are you kidding me
Luke just patted him on the shoulder meaningfully again: "Chris, sometimes the opportunity is in front of you, it just depends on whether you can seize it, don't let Samantha down."
Chris looked not far away, Samantha who was talking with Selena.
That familiar and more mature charm made him unable to let go: "Okay, I'll go say hello to my aunt."
Luke waved his hand: "Let Gladys go with you, and bring that little fellow Bruce with you. I'll arrange board and lodging for you over there."
Chris went back in a daze, completely confused about what Luke was thinking.
Surely there was no way Samantha, as charming as she was, was thirty-eight.
but...
Chris shifted his gaze to Ashley standing next to Samantha, who seemed to be of the right age.
But thinking of what Luke showed last night, he subconsciously shook his head.
Ashley is the right age, but her temperament and style don't match Luke at all.
Then he thought, Ashley still has a sister. And it's Luke's colleague.
wrong! This young detective already has that hot Detective Selena by his side
Overthinking, Chris's head became even more confused for a while.
In the end, it was Luke who drove alone and set off alone.
However, both Samantha and Chris said that they will go to Los Angeles after waiting for two days to deal with the matter here.
There is no need to hurry back, Selena and Luke talked for a while, and went to the back seat to catch up on sleep.
Luke first adjusted the volume to very low and turned on the radio.
"...God, aliens are coming to attack the earth. They have eight big claws, and they kill humans with one bounce..."
Luke: ... This seems to be the broadcast of the private radio station in Prosperity Town, right? Is this guy okay? And S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't care about him
But after thinking about it, there are hundreds of townspeople, and it is impossible to keep them silent for the rest of their lives if they want to keep their mouths shut.
Besides, what the hell is this guy talking about? Alien, octopus? People who didn't know thought it was a tentacle monster.
There are not a thousand, but eight hundred of these aliens a day on private radio stations across the United States, saying that they have seen it, and only ghosts will believe it.
Twirling the radio again, finally tuned to a piece of country music, Luke nodded in satisfaction, and decisively... switched it off.
According to some rumors, listening to country songs for too long can make you feel depressed.
Although Luke didn't believe the rumors, he wanted to hear something comfortable.
After a while, a melodious violin music appeared, and he withdrew his hand, humming and driving all the way back.
Drive all the way out of Arizona and into California.
At this moment in the afternoon, when the car passed a roadside, Luke couldn't help but stop the car.
Looking at this piece of flat land with sparse trees and wide lawns, it is full of vitality under the bright afternoon sun, and the faint wildflowers are interspersed with large areas of green, showing a little pink or light purple brilliant colors playfully.
Luke couldn't help turning his head to look at the certain woman who was sleeping soundly in the back seat, chuckled lightly, turned the steering wheel, and drove the car into the grass by the side of the road.
After a while, he woke up Selena: "It's time to eat."
Selena opened her eyes in a daze: "Huh? Have we arrived in Los Angeles?" Sitting up, she looked towards the place where the voice came from.
Luke stood outside the open car door, behind him was a bright sun, and... grass, blankets, food boxes.
Selena laughed: "Picnic?"
Luke smiled and pulled her out, revealing the left hand that had been placed beside the car.
In that hand is a small bouquet of wild flowers, pink, purple and white florets tied together, although not gorgeous, but very wild.
"My angel, do you like it?" Luke smiled.
Selena took the small bouquet in his hand, looked at it for a moment with satisfaction, and smiled brightly: "Well, I like it."
On the sunny grass in the afternoon, the two chatted with light smiles and leisurely ate their late lunch. The tense feeling of last night's battle and the irritability brought about by today's long questioning gradually faded away.
Not far away, in the open car door, the female announcer on the radio station introduced enthusiastically.
“…it’s that time of year again for spring camping, let’s see what suitable spots are nearby.”
“…choose the Salton Sea, which is vast and has plenty of room for most water sports,…Lake Mathews is a good distance away,…Huntington Mountain Park, 73 kilometers southeast of Long Beach, is also good… ”
“… please avoid kids holidays… But Christer… the water is clear and the kids love it…”
Luke casually chatted with Selena, but he couldn't help but think of the classic opening line of a show in his previous life: Spring is here, and it's a season for all things to communicate.
In the afternoon, the sun set to the west, and the two started on the road again. It was already night when they returned to Los Angeles, and the two went home directly.
As soon as Selena entered the house, she went into the house. It didn't take long to dig out a vase that had never been used, and put the small bouquet of wild flowers in it.
She didn't come out of the room until Luke finished dinner and greeted her.
Just as the two were about to eat, there was a knock on the door.
Selena went to answer the door: "Oh, Lisa, are you here for dinner?"
Luke chuckled inwardly: Among the things that someone hates the most, someone visiting during dinner is undoubtedly one of them.
Although Selena's words were not pleasant, she had already let Elizabeth in.
Luke watched Elizabeth come in: "Let's have some food together?"
Selena rolled her eyes, knowing that he would definitely say that, and hurried back to her seat to act first, forked a piece of beef, and started to chew.
Elizabeth was not shy either, and nodded cheerfully.
She learned this from Selena and Elsa.
If the female police detective of the serious crime team is as reserved and shy as ordinary women, then she really shouldn't be a police detective. It would be better to switch to a civilian job.
Luke didn't talk about the current situation in Prosperity Town during the meal.
Elizabeth's family is all well and there is no need to talk about those heavy-hearted things now.
With the concerted efforts of the three, the dinner was quickly settled.
After eating this time, Selena cleaned up the dining area and went to the kitchen to clean, leaving the living room to the master and apprentice.
Elizabeth also flattered: "Oh, Selena, the dinner you made is really great, and you will teach me in the future."
Luke: Hehe!
Selena: —_—!
