Chapter 54: Troublemaker, Request, and Still Partners

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Although Brock was unhappy, Deputy Chief Thomas had made it clear that he had the backs of these two newbies. Thus, he couldn’t cause trouble for them for no reason.

The Major Crimes Division was an extremely busy department, and the two newbies would still be of help in some way. He decided to first let them work on some less important cases.

Right after he stepped into the office, Brock called a female officer over and got her to take the two to their seats.

He then turned and looked at the two. “Selina, you’ll be going to Berkeley. Luke, you’ll be going to Ferrigno. Millie will bring you to them. Learn properly from them and try not to mess things up.”

He was about to leave when Luke suddenly said, “Boss Brock, can we stay partners here?”

Brock’s face fell. He hated these troublemakers the most, even more so when these ones had only joined through their connections.

But when he thought of Thomas, he suppressed his anger and asked, “Why?”

Luke replied calmly, “Because we were partners before this. We work well together.”

Brock’s expression didn’t change as he said, “Oh? You work well together? Do you mean that one of you always cheers when the other issues tickets?”

A smile bloomed on Luke’s face. “No. About a month ago, we worked together and killed ten Mexican hitmen who ambushed us.”

Brock was stunned. “What?”

Luke continued, “The details of the operation are all in our records. I don’t like to brag, but I believe you also know the importance of having a partner you can trust to have your back.”

Brock frowned and hesitated slightly before saying, “Fine. Handle your affairs for now and come look for me before the end of the day.”

Next, the two went with Millie and got all the procedures and paperwork done.

They got their uniforms, papers, and some money.

The money was in fact for them to purchase their equipment, such as their service guns.

They also needed to buy their batons, belts, holsters, and even riot control equipment, with the money issued to them.

So long as their equipment was in accordance with police regulations, it didn’t matter where they bought them from.

Then, they returned to their desks and started cleaning them with some cleaning tools which they got from Millie.

Both of them seemed to be on the same wavelength as they once again selected two desks in one corner of the office.

This part of the office was rather dark and didn’t get any direct sunlight. Thus, it was still empty.

They selected two tables that were at the farthest end in the corner; even the nearest occupied table was about four meters away from them. Thus, they had more privacy in this little corner of theirs.

Selina was happy to find that she could join two chairs together to make a makeshift bed and sleep here without anyone even noticing.

The two cleaned quickly, and with the help of Luke’s high dexterity, they were done cleaning in half an hour.

After that, Selina volunteered to return the cleaning tools. After all, she hadn’t even cleaned half the amount that Luke had. Thus, she decided to do her part this way.

Brock had just finished reading their files. He was filled with shock.

Killing 13 AK-wielding hitmen in a single night – a kid who wasn’t even 19 years old had accomplished something like that? It was simply unimaginable.

But Brock had no choice but to believe what he read.

It was clearly written in the file that this had been a FBI-led operation. Luke and the police department had only been there to provide assistance.

The FBI wouldn’t allow Luke to take the credit if he hadn’t actually done all that.

Selina’s record was much milder in comparison.

Even so, this beautiful woman in her 20s had still fought back against ten hitmen holding AKs. She survived that, and had even taken down one of the attackers.

Her courage and combat prowess were things that the female detectives in Brock’s Major Crimes Division didn’t have. One or two of the men might be able to do the same, but those were all veterans with over ten years of experience in the force.

It came as a surprise to him that the two new detectives shoved into his division were actually two capable officers instead of some useless, well-connected newbies.

Of course, to solve cases in the Major Crimes Division, combat prowess alone wasn’t enough.

But no matter what, the Major Crimes Division would still welcome such capable combatants with open arms.

With Luke’s record, whenever there were major cases which involved dangerous criminals in the future, they could unleash him on them.

They wouldn’t even need him to repeat the feat of single-handedly killing 13 people. He just needed to get rid of the random two or three tricky opponents during their operations, and enemy morale would collapse.

When Brock thought this, his annoyance at Luke for speaking out earlier vanished.

One couldn’t survive in the Major Crimes Division simply by currying favors.

The most important thing here was one’s capability, and second to that was the manner in which one handled things.

Brock might still suppress or be unfair toward a capable subordinate, but he would never get rid of one.

That was something only an inexperienced superior would do.

So long as the subordinate obeyed his orders and remained useful, Brock didn’t mind tolerating Luke’s odd temper. In any case, Luke was backed by Deputy Chief Thomas.

Thus, Brock decided to try letting Luke do his own thing.

At this thought, Brock raised his head and scanned the office. Soon, he found the two in a corner of the office.

The two were nearly done cleaning up. Brock observed that the two didn’t talk much but still work well together even when cleaning. They swiftly cleaned their desks.

And after they were done, without even speaking, Luke gathered the cleaning tools together and sat down, while Selina picked them up and walked away.

Brock was amazed by what he saw. Luke indeed hadn’t been bragging. The two really worked very well together. Thus, it was understandable why they would rather remain partners.

Brock stopped looking at them and reached a decision. He then picked up his phone and told Millie to send the two into his office.

When the two entered, Brock didn’t bother with pleasantries. He got straight to the point and told them they could remain partners. However, if they couldn’t perform well, they would have to split up and learn from the more experienced detectives.

This time, Brock no longer viewed them with disregard like before. He paid close attention to their expressions when he spoke.

Joy could be seen on Selina’s face, while Luke only smiled as he thanked Brock.

Brock was startled by Luke’s reaction.

As the commanding officer of the Major Crimes Division, Brock had great observational skills and was very good at seeing through a person.

Now that he was paying close attention to the two, he easily realized that of the two, the boy Luke was the leader.

Similarly, Luke was the calmer person of the pair, and even the smile on his face was merely a facade. None of his true emotions leaked out; he was merely being polite.

Brock decided then that he needed to pay even more attention to Luke. As for Selina, he only needed to pay her a little bit of attention. After he was done talking, he told the two to leave.

Since the two had just arrived in Houston, they needed to deal with the problem of accommodation.

Brock told them to ask Millie for help. Millie in fact working in an administrative capacity in the department, focusing on logistics.

Millie was indeed good at what she did. She didn’t need to ask anyone else; after poking around on her computer for two minutes, she printed out a list of houses for rent. All the available houses were located near the police department, suitable for Luke and Selina.
