"Luke, I'm worried about grandpa, and my parents are not here, so I can only call you." Joseph said.
Luke hummed: "I'll call him right away, don't worry." Then he hung up the phone.
Although Joseph was very young, he was quite intelligent.
Catherine and Luke mentioned during the chat that Joseph's IQ is likely to meet the requirements for entering the Mensa Club.
Robert and Catherine are still in Europe, and Luke and Claire are in Los Angeles.
Joseph easily judged that the best person to ask for help could only be Luke.
Regarding the younger brother's words, Luke did not dare to take it lightly, and immediately dialed Drake's cell phone, but the phone was busy.
He frowned and said, "Turn on repeat dialing." Then he put the phone on the center console.
A minute later, Drakes' cell phone was still busy.
Selena took out her mobile phone: "I have Ferreira's number here, I'll call him."
Luke hummed.
Ranch veterinarian Ferreira worked with Selena's dad for years.
Just now Joseph said that Ferreira is also in Dallas, and contacting Ferreira can also confirm the situation.
Ferreira's call was quickly connected.
Selena just said a few words, then put the phone on the speakerphone and put it on Luke's side.
Sure enough, Ferreira was already on his way to pick up Joseph, but he still didn't know why Drakes was so angry.
Luke just told him to get to Drakes as soon as possible to make sure he could get in touch with his grumpy grandpa.
Even Robert kept Drake's temper at arm's length, so one could imagine how difficult this old man was.
Drakes was born with a bad temper and it was difficult to control it all the time. When he went to his daughter Catherine's house, he must quarrel with Robert every day, and it would be difficult for his daughter and grandchildren.
Catherine also understood his intentions, so she sent her three grandchildren to the ranch for the weekend when she had time, and Drakes stayed at the ranch with peace of mind.
In the words of this stubborn old man, he is used to working and living on the ranch, so he doesn't need to go to Shackford to retire.
Drake's health is also really good, and there are almost ten people working on the ranch, so they are not afraid that no one will inform them if something happens.
However, the stubborn old man still has weaknesses.
He has been partial to Luke's grandson since he was a child, and rarely reprimands him.
The two little ones, Claire and Joseph, are completely spoiled.
If it weren't for Claire and Joseph just going to have fun on weekends and vacations, this stubborn old man would have spoiled his two grandchildren.
For example, it was Joseph's idea to go to Dallas to watch some flying car show, otherwise Drakes would be in his early seventies, so he wouldn't be interested in watching such a show.
A few minutes later Luke finally dialed Drake's cell phone.
Without saying a few words, he could only helplessly listen to the beeping beeping voice coming from the phone.
The stubborn old man was anxious by what he said, so he hung up the phone directly.
Selena: "I'll ask you for leave?"
Luke sighed: "I'll just say hello to Elsa myself, my vacation is long gone."
If this happened two days earlier, he could take advantage of the weekend to take a legitimate vacation.
Now he can only go through the back door and only report to Elsa to avoid urgent cases from being assigned to him.
If he is checked for attendance under special circumstances, Elsa will immediately issue him a leave note.
Of course, without the support of a hard-core boss, ordinary police detectives would not dare to play like this.
Luke drove all the way to the airport in this way, directly booked the nearest flight, and boarded the plane an hour later.
After four o'clock in the afternoon, he got out of the Dallas-Fort Worth Airport, got into a taxi outside the airport, and went straight to the hotel.
More than half an hour later, he entered a three-star hotel and knocked on the door of Room 507.
Drake's face appeared through the crack of the door.
Seeing Luke, he shook his hand and left annoyedly: "Why are you back? I'm not old enough yet, so you don't need to worry about me."
Luke followed into the room, closed the door casually, and put his arms around the old man's shoulders: "Grandpa, if I don't care about you, then there is a problem."
The old man hummed, but did not refute.
Although he has a stubborn temper, he can tell the difference between good and bad.
Walking into the room, Luke and Drakes sat down, picked up a bottle of whiskey on the table and glanced at the old man: "I remember, the last time the doctor gave you a physical examination, he said that you should drink less alcohol, and drink more wine and wine at most." beer?"
Drakes tilted his head: "You control me!"
But he immediately answered another sentence: "I was too busy calling, haven't I had a drink yet?"
Luke smiled, went to the refrigerator, took out two bottles of beer, and handed one to the old man: "It's hot, put out the fire."
The old man can't help it either.
Luke has been well-behaved and sensible since he was a child, not even when he was a bear.
Whenever he thought of Luke's parents who died young, the old man felt sorry for him even more, thinking that it was because of his lack of parents that he became so precocious and sensible.
In the old man's opinion, boys in Texas should be wild from an early age.
Fighting, smoking, drinking and flirting with girls, this is how the Texas boys in the old man's cognition should grow up.
As for Luke, he basically didn't touch these things since he was a child.
If Luke and Ximena hadn't gotten along well in the last two years of middle school, the old man would have suspected that there was something wrong with his eldest grandson's orientation.
Therefore, the old man couldn't speak hard words to Luke.
After taking two sips of cold beer, Luke said, "Grandpa, I've rushed back now. In order not to waste the air ticket money, can you tell me about the matter? Besides, I am also the third-tier detective of the PD serious crime team. , The rate of solving crimes ranks high in Los Angeles. If you really want to attack someone, then I am familiar with the legal provisions, and I also know the police’s case-handling process... "
Drakes raised his hands in surrender: "Stop! I don't really want to shoot anyone, you don't have to think so carefully."
The meaning of Luke's words is almost "Even if you really kill someone, I can help you clean the ground."
Faced with such unconditional support from his family, how could the old man resist.
The last thing he wanted was to make things difficult for his family, let alone make Luke do things that he knew and violated the law for himself.
Luke snickered in his heart,
He knew very well that his grandfather was a man who took the soft but not the tough.
Instead of persuading him hard, it is better to start from the aspect of family affection, so that he can really calm down.
Sighing, the relieved old man finally told the story.
Luke finished listening silently, even if there was a paragraph in the middle where the old man yelled at the murderer who killed his old brother, he didn't interrupt his narration.
After the old man stopped talking and gasped for a moment, he asked, "Grandpa, do you have someone at the police station? Otherwise, you can't handle the situation at the scene."
This case is very big, and it happened in less than a day.
In order to solve the case, the police department will definitely keep the details of it secret for the time being.
The old man hummed: "Among the people I know, there are juniors in the police station."
Luke: "Can he take me to the scene?"
The old man hesitated.
He himself was upset, and he took the gun and killed whoever he wanted to kill.
But he was unwilling to let Luke take risks.
