Chapter 358 New Weapon and New Case

Although Samantha was almost forty, she was still very charming. Of all the women that Luke had met, only May could compare with her.

Ashley was a younger version of her mother and even more attractive because of her youth.

If Luke approached them, it might cause a misunderstanding, so it was Selina who kept them entertained.

Gladys was old and smart and could take care of herself.

Elizabeth was the best bridge between the two parties, and could also look after her siblings.

Luke, on the other hand, pulled Chris aside to talk to him in private.

Nobody else joined them, although they glanced at the two men chatting over alcohol every now and then.

Mike had wanted to go over, but was stopped by Elizabeth, the sister he idolized.

Luke and Chris talked for about half an hour.

In the end, Luke patted Chris’s shoulder and said, “If you’re willing to accept my offer, call my secretary, Jenny. I’m busy at work and might have no time for this, but you can come find me if you’re in any trouble.”

Chris accepted the card which Luke gave him, and went back to dinner, but he was clearly absent-minded.

An hour later, Luke and Selina saw them off at the gate, where Bobby was already waiting for them in his car.

Luke said with a smile, “I told you that I would cover your stay here. Mr. Bobby Max will take you to the hotel. I’ve already booked the rooms.”

Elizabeth was about to say something, but seeing Luke’s expression, she decided to keep quiet.

Luke was gentle and firm. Eventually, with Elizabeth’s persuasion, her family finally went to the hotel with Bobby.

After the two cars left, Selina asked, “You’re not exactly someone who likes to take risks. Why are you so enthusiastic about this?”

Luke chuckled and walked back into the house. “Let’s go in first. I’ll tell you about it.”

In the house, he explained everything to Selina, and she was shocked. “Are you kidding?”

Luke shrugged. “No. Actually, I brought back evidence and personally verified it.”

Selina was speechless. “...I knew it. You wouldn’t be so proactive if you weren’t getting anything out of it.”

Luke chuckled and didn’t say anything. He then called Jenny and told her about Chris.

They then trained respectively, and after that, Selina went to bed, while Luke kept working.

After the battle at Smith’s apartment building, Luke had realized some problems.

He needed to take the environment into consideration when he used his weapon, and using subsonic bullets was one example.

Subsonic bullets were bullets that were slower than sound when shot.

Since they weren’t as fast as the speed of sound, the sound of the gunshot was substantially reduced.

In order to achieve this effect, subsonic bullets usually had less gunpowder in them.

But this would affect the gun’s accuracy, and quickly tarnish the inside of the gun barrel.

To overcome this problem, the shape and weight of the bullet had to be changed. Thus, Luke’s gun and bullets would all be custom made. Naturally, he wouldn’t go out to buy them. It wasn’t easy to find suppliers who sold this sort of unique bullet, plus they wouldn’t be as effective as whatever he modified himself.

With the subsonic bullets and the special silencer, his pistol would be as close to being soundless as it could get.

That was right, this would be Luke’s exclusive weapon for sneak attacks.

Since it was for sneak attacks, the various shortcoming of the subsonic bullets weren’t too important.

Generally speaking, his target would be within a fifty-meter range when he needed to use these bullets.

In the battle at Smith’s hideout, Luke had been no more than twenty meters from the shooters.

Thus, he was fine with a gun that had less precision and power.

He just needed to practice and get used to the special bullets.

Also, the key to sneak attacks was to hide oneself.

He couldn’t attack too frequently if he didn’t want to expose his position. Thus, he only needed several hundred of these special bullets.

Luke couldn’t think of any situation where he would need to use so many subsonic bullets.

It didn’t take much effort to make these bullets, and he had churned them out in the last few days.

He tried the bullets with a modified P226 and felt they were fine. Pleased, he then went to bed.

When Luke and Selina got to the police department the next morning, they had barely sat down when Elsa summoned Luke to her office.

The moment he entered, Elsa slapped a piece of paper on his chest.

Luke took the paper and asked, “What’s this?”

Elsa said, “Your new case!”

Luke unfolded the sheet of paper, only to see that it was a poster. He was suspicious. “Spring camp? What’s this got to do with me?” Elsa explained, “Our Westside Department interacts with L.A. No. 37 Public School every year. For example, we send elite detectives to give daily training and safety lessons as part of the school’s camp activities, and at the same time to keep an eye on the overly-exuberant kids – you know it’s not unusual for some to get lost or fall into pits every year.”

Luke was lost for words for a moment, before he said, “Seriously? Boss, you’re actually kicking me out to Crystal Cove State Park? That’s eighty kilometers from Los Angeles. After I get off work, I still have to drive two hours back home?”

Elsa’s expression was serene. “The camp committee will give you a dorm free of charge. The department will also reimburse you for food expenses.”

Luke said, “...You’ve got everything covered, don’t you?”

Elsa nodded at him. “You’ve done a good job. The boss and I both feel that it’s better for you to stay away for a couple of days.”

Luke said resignedly, “When do I leave?”

Elsa said, “Today. The officer over there will wait to do the handover with you before leaving. It would be best if you get that done by four in the afternoon.”

There was nothing Luke could do but nod and prepare to leave the office.“Leave Selina behind. The camp only has a quota for one police officer,” Elsa added.

Luke turned his head. “...It’s a waste that you don’t work in HR, boss.”

Elsa said, “That was my major in college. Do you have a problem?”

Luke was speechless. “...No.”

He told Selina about the arrangement, and her face filled with despair. “What am I going to do when you’re gone?”

Luke said, “Relax, I’m going to go home first and get ready. While I’m at it, I’ll make you some snacks and food for the next few days. You won’t starve.”

Selina was gloomy. “But you’ll be on vacation while I still have to work.”

Luke chuckled. “I’ve already told you, if you have the opportunity to slack off, there’s no need to be so proactive.”
