Berrick was dissatisfied, but Thomas, the deputy director, made it clear that he wanted to support the two new detectives. He couldn't target them for no reason.
The serious crime team is always busy, so it's fine to have two rookies, just send them to follow up some less serious cases first.
The resolute Berrick came in and called a policewoman to arrange a place for the two.
Then he turned his head to look at the two of them: "Selena, go talk to Barclay, Luke, go talk to Ferino, just let Millie take you there. Just learn more and don't mess around."
After speaking, he wanted to leave.
But Lu Ke said: "Sir Berrick, can we directly form a team?"
Berrick's face darkened, he was most annoyed by the thorns, and the thorns that came in through the back door.
But with Director Thomas's explicit statement in front of him, he could only suppress the anger in his heart and ask, "Why?"
Lu Ke's expression was calm: "Because Selena and I were originally partners, and we cooperated very well."
Berrick didn't move, but asked in his mouth: "Oh, you cooperated well? Did she applaud when you issued a ticket?"
Lu Ke smiled: "No. We jointly killed ten Mexican gunmen who attacked us more than a month ago."
Berrick was taken aback: "What did you say?"
Lu Ke: "The details of the case are in our files. I don't mean to boast, but I think, sir, you must understand how important it is for the police to have a partner who can give his back to him."
Berrick frowned, hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Then you deal with other things first, and come to my office before get off work."
The two followed the policewoman named Millie to go through various procedures.
Including getting your own police uniform, certificates, and money by the way.
Money is to buy a series of equipment, such as a gun is to buy it yourself.
Batons, belts, holsters, and even riot spray are all bought with this money.
Anyway, as long as it complies with the regulations of the police station, the police station doesn't care which store you go to buy it from.
Then the two returned to their desks, asked Millie for cleaning tools, and started to clean themselves.
The two had a tacit understanding, and once again chose a set of corner positions.
The lighting here is not very good, so there are still two sets of tables empty.
The two chose the innermost group, the closest group was four or five meters away, relatively speaking, it was a little more private.
At least Selena thinks that by putting the two chairs together, she can hide in the innermost place and sleep.
Both of them moved very quickly. Lu Ke's strength and agility were beyond ordinary people, and he was also good at cleaning up. He completed the cleaning work in less than half an hour.
Selena consciously went to return the cleaning utensils. She had less than half of the things Lu Ke had packed, so she could only be more diligent in running errands.
Berrick finished reading the files of the two of them at this moment, and his eyes were full of shock.
Killing thirteen gang gunmen armed with AKs in one night, this kind of record was actually achieved by a child who was less than nineteen years old? It's unbelievable.
But he had to believe it.
The file clearly stated that FI was in charge of this case, and Lu Ke's police station was only assisting.
Therefore, if it is not true, FI will never give this credit to a young man like Lu Ke.
In contrast, Selena's information is quite normal.
However, under the surprise attack of ten gunmen, this beautiful young policewoman in her twenties was able to fight back with a gun. Not to mention she was not killed on the spot, and even wounded one of the gunmen.
This kind of courage, this ability, no female police officer in Berrick's serious crime team can do it. There may be one or two men with this level, but at least they are veteran detectives with ten years of experience.
Unexpectedly, the two people stuffed in this time were not the kind of incompetent, pure gold-plated second generation, but really capable people.
Of course, being able to fight is not enough for the serious crime team to investigate the case.
The serious crime team absolutely welcomes those who may fight.
With Lu Ke's record, if there are major actions in the future, he will be sent out in the face of fierce criminals.
Don't say one kill thirteen, kill two or three recalcitrant elements of the opponent at the critical moment, it is guaranteed to collapse the psychological defense of most criminals.
Thinking about it in his heart, Berrick didn't care about Lu Ke's rashness just now.
The serious crime unit is not a place where you can gain a foothold by flattering.
The first thing to look at here is strength, and the second is ability to do things.
Capable subordinates, Berrick may beat or target, but he will not simply drive people away.
That's what young people do.
As long as it can be controlled and useful, Berrick doesn't mind putting up with Lu Ke's strange temper, besides, Deputy Director Thomas stands behind him.
Let them try it first!
Thinking of this, Berrick looked up to the outside of the office, and soon found the two people in that corner.
It happened to be the time when the two were about to finish cleaning. Berrick saw that the two seldom talked, but they had a tacit understanding of the division of labor and quickly finished cleaning.
Then the two didn't have any conversation, Lu Ke threw away the supplies after packing up, and sat down on the seat by himself, but Selena took the cleaning supplies naturally, put them together and took them away.
Berrick sighed secretly in his heart: This Luke is really not bragging. As far as the tacit understanding between the two is concerned, the two of them are of course more willing to continue to work together than to adapt to a new partner.
Looking back, Berrick made a decision and called Millie to let the two come in.
After the two came in, Berrick didn't talk nonsense, he just said that the two could continue to work together, but if they didn't perform well, they would have to separate and learn to handle cases with the old police detective.
This time, Perik did not ignore the two of them as before, but paid attention to their expressions.
Selina looked happy, but Lu Ke smiled and said thank you.
Seeing Lu Ke's performance, Berrick was surprised.
He is the leader of the serious crime team, and he is very good at observing others and finding flaws.
Now that he really paid attention to the two of them, he easily found out that the young man, Lu Ke, was the dominant one.
Similarly, Lu Ke was obviously the calmer of the two, and even that smile was just a mask, without any real emotion in it, more like pure politeness.
In his heart, Berrick labeled Lu Ke for further observation, and Selena just paid a little attention, and then let the two leave.
The two had just arrived in Houston and had to solve the housing problem.
Regarding these matters, Berrick directly asked the two of them to ask Millie. The policewoman was a civilian and specialized in handling these logistical tasks.
As expected, Millie was a professional. She didn't look for anyone else at all. She checked on the computer for two minutes and printed out a rental list. All of them were near the West District Police Station and suitable for two people to share.
