Tim was not young, he looked about thirty-five, Natalie was in her mid-twenties.
Long-term execution of high-risk missions made him plan to retire at a young age, but he did not get the support of Natalie, who was in the golden age of her career.
However, the relationship between the two partners does not seem to be very simple.
Luke didn't think that their profession would allow their partners to have personal feelings, which was more likely to cause problems than their police partners.
However, watching other people's emotional and ethical dramas like this is not very good, so he interjected: "Okay, let's talk about the matter you are investigating. You can't talk about confidentiality, but how do you arrange for Jeff and the others? Today the other party is even a gunman. It's been sent out. And this director Carl, you won't let him live in that old warehouse again, will you?"
Carl smiled wryly: "If I could, I would choose to work the night shift on the floor in the company, provided that the company believes what I say."
But looking at the posture of Tim and his wife, he doesn't think he can go out and compare at will.
Tim shook his head: "Karl, you can call and ask for leave or anything, but until we find someone, you can only live under our supervision for a few days, sorry."
Carl said nothing.
The promotion and salary increase are nice, but he doesn't want to die yet.
Although he is now a pauper, he still wants to live, even if he lives in an SUV and an old warehouse.
Tim looked at Luke and the two again: "You can't report this to the police either."
Selena was engrossed in her ice cream.
Luke smiled and nodded: "Yes. But I killed eight gunmen just now. You have to deal with the matter, right? I use the gun provided by the police station, and it can be found out by a bullet mark inspection."
Tim nodded: "Don't worry, we have notified people over there."
Luke: "We have no problem, our job is to deal with criminals, but what about Jeff and Karen?"
Tim: "It won't be too long. I can't tell you the details. Jeff is going to work normally these days, and we will protect him."
Luke thought for a while, then nodded: "It's okay, we have to go to work tomorrow, and we skipped work for a day today."
Everyone: ...
Next, Tim and the two asked Jeff a lot of questions alone.
Luke knew that they were looking for the person who leaked the secret and attracted the killer.
Not long after, two men in ordinary clothes came and took away the security director Carl, and the others went home together.
Karl will be put under temporary custody because his identity is sensitive, and the gunman attack in the old warehouse in the afternoon is not enough to clear him of all suspicions.
Middle-level staff in human resources management like Jeff, and small police detectives like Luke Selina, can't directly contact the top management of MBI.
Only Carl, as MBI's security director, has the right to report security issues directly to the top.
Of course Tim can't let Carl startle the snake.
On the other hand, Tim needed Jeff as the bait, but he couldn't restrain the two of them.
His department must be extremely cautious in its actions in the country, otherwise it will be caught if it is not careful.
Although Luke and Selena are just little police detectives, they are local snakes here. If they want to guard them, they must use some connections, which may alarm the mission target.
Besides, Luke also helped them save the lives of Jeff, his wife and Carl, and they didn't want to do anything to such friendly forces if it was not necessary.
Saying goodbye to Jeff and Tim's house, Luke suddenly frowned and waved to Tim.
Tim was a little surprised, but he got out of the car and walked over.
Luke said some polite goodbyes, and quickly typed a sentence on the mobile phone in his hand.
Tim nodded with a smile on his face: "Okay, got it." He looked away from the phone screen, and clapped his hand on the car door casually twice.
Luke also said goodbye with a smile: "I wish you a sweet dream. Come to my house with Jeff Karen and have a meal." He drove away.
Jeff had a strange look on his face, but he still drove to keep up.
Tim looked at the two cars going away, smiled wryly in his heart, walked back to his car, talked to Natalie, and then drove back to his backyard.
A moment later, there was a loud bang.
The two cars that had just driven not far stopped, and Jeff and Karen watched in horror at a huge fireball rising behind them, and then countless burning debris flew from the sky in all directions.
Luke also got out of the car, looked at the place where the explosion occurred, and took out the phone with an inexplicable expression on his face: "Selena, come and bring Jeff and Karen to our house."
After dozens of minutes, Luke returned home.
It was Tim's home that was blown up to the sky.
However, Luke was too lazy to act there, he just explained to the police who arrived for a while, and then went home.
Looking at Jeff and his wife sitting in the living room, he sighed helplessly: "Sorry, your home is not safe, so it's best to stay with me for the time being."
Karen couldn't help asking, "Was that... Tim's house just now?"
Luke nodded.
Jeff's face was full of disbelief: "No way, they... died? Don't you care?"
Luke is the serious crime team of the West District, and he should be in charge of this kind of case, not to mention that he is still a participant.
Luke was about to answer when the phone rang. He smiled and walked a few steps away to answer the phone: "Found it? Come in. I've already opened the garage door. From the side door to the basement, we'll go there right away. "
After hanging up the phone, he said hello: "Do you need something to drink? Or watch TV."
Jeff and Karen looked tangled.
Although Tim and his wife may be secret agents or something, and everyone has known each other for only two days, they can't be so ruthless!
Luke looked at the expressions of the two: "It seems that you are not thirsty yet."
While speaking, he motioned to the two of them: "Let's go, don't get too excited later."
He led the way, and Selena walked at the end. Only Jeff and his wife felt uneasy: What is this for? Is it going to be silenced
After going down to the basement through the side door, Jeff and his wife just walked down the stairs and were stunned.
Then the two called out: "Tim? Natalie? Are you alive?"
In the basement, it was Tim and his wife standing there.
Tim pressed his hands down: "Jeff, don't get excited, we are not ghosts."
"But your house was blown up!" Jeff still had that expression of disbelief.
Natalie nodded: "Actually, we didn't enter the house at all, we just detonated the X bomb hidden inside to cover people's eyes and ears."
Jeff: "Why?"
Tim and Natalie look aside.
Everyone's eyes also moved over, only to find that two people were being tied to chairs with sealing tape on their mouths.
"Danny? Meg?" Jeff and Karen looked at the two in surprise.
Jeff looked at Tim in disbelief: "You guys, wait..."
He suddenly realized and turned to look at Luke: "And you, actually kidnapped Danny and the others? Why?"
