Chapter 378 The Angel’s Return, and Blueberry Cheese
His subordinate’s eyes glowed. The guy picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted, “Hey, we’ve got business! Boss says to hurry up, or you won’t have money for big asses tonight.”
The other members of the crew immediately jeered.
“You have a big ass, let me play with it.” “You faggot. Aren’t you the one who likes to be played?” Big Nick laughed and looked at the campsite for the last time, before he left with the other SUVs.
After seeing them off, everything was peaceful once more.
Two days later, Big Nick called Luke.
He sounded slightly embarrassed over the phone. “Luke, uh, there’s something I need to tell you.”
Luke asked, “What is it?’
After a brief silence, Nick said in a low voice, “There was a small accident last night when we arrested that bunch of drug dealers.” He fell silent again.
Luke asked, “So?”

Nick coughed and said, “Six male suspects were at the scene. Three of them were killed and the other three were heavily wounded. However, another six female suspects in the case were detained in their homes.”
Luke was stunned for a moment, but then said, “Congratulations. Were any of you hurt?”
Nick said, “No.”
Luke said, “That’s great.”
He hung up soon after, not knowing what to say.
Big Nick and his crew were really impatient. It had only been two days, and he had already cleaned up the parents of the weed-planting kids.
Also, these county officers were as blunt and crude as ever; they simply took down the men in the gang and then looted their wealth.
Naturally, Nick was a little embarrassed to make this call.
He had promised to put the guys in prison, but wound up sending them to the morgue; that hadn’t been the deal.
As for Luke... he was quite pleased.
It wasn’t as if he could tell Nick, “It’s best if you get rid of all of them.” However, it had been enough to imply to Nick that those people had money and drugs.
In a good mood, Luke escorted the kids and teachers onto the school bus, and then followed behind them in his car all the way back to Los Angeles.
At the school entrance, Juliet hugged him and said, “You’re a good kid. You can come find me if you ever need help.”
Luke thanked her with a smile before he drove off
He could roughly guess why Juliet acted this way with him.
He had learned from the others that Juliet had a little brother who had only been in his first year of university when he went missing last year while camping in the mountains, and had never been found.
Luke didn’t look like her brother, but they were somewhat similar in terms of temperament and figure, which was why Juliet had a good impression of him
Done with his mission, Luke went directly to the police department.
Walking over to his desk, he saw Selina, whose head was buried in files. Smiling, Luke put down the box he was carrying next to her and opened it.
His movements were light and nimble, and Selina didn’t notice him at all.
In the next moment, however, her nose twitched, and she turned her head to look at the open box. “Oh, am I dreaming? Did God answer my prayers?”
But realization promptly struck her, and she turned her head to see Luke smiling at her. She couldn’t help but roll her eyes. “So, it wasn’t God.”
Luke raised an eyebrow. “No?”
Selina’s will to live was strong. “You’re an angel, you knew that I was hungry.”
Luke showed her the other boxes he had and said, “I bought them on the way back. Do you want to distribute them?”
Selina promptly got up and took the paper boxes from him. “Luke has donuts, who wants them?”
Everybody in the office flocked toward them.
But nobody shoved each other for the donuts, since they knew that Luke and Selina always had enough for everyone.
In the end, only two and a half out of four boxes of donuts were shared out. There were only a dozen people at the office at the moment. Two officers with sweet tooths took two donuts each, otherwise they wouldn’t have needed to open a third box.
After greeting everybody with a smile, Luke signaled to Selina, and they went to Elsa’s office with the last one and a half boxes of donuts.
“There’s been nothing recently?” he asked Selina.
Selina replied with a deeply bitter expression, “Of course it’s nothing for you. I’ve been going through case files in the office every day, and haven’t stepped foot outside at all.”
Luke smiled. “I’m back, so you’re free.”
Selina nodded. It was much better to investigate cases with Luke than sitting in the office.
They always brought snacks with them when they headed out in the morning, and when the weather was good, they could have afternoon tea and enjoy the sunshine for an hour or two.
In any case, they were the most efficient team in the Major Crimes Division, so nobody had any complaints about them enjoying a slice of opera cake and green tea or a cappuccino under the sun. As long as they could crack cases effectively, it was all good.
Luke and Selina entered Elsa’s office, and Selina put the one and a half boxes of donuts on her table.
Elsa had a conflicted expression on her face. “I’ve been trying to lose weight.”
Luke chuckled. “This entire box is blueberry cheese donuts, and is especially for you.”
Elsa looked at the other box. “What about this one?”
Luke replied casually, “They’re regular donuts, and there are four left. You can take them to Dustin if you want.”
After a brief silence, Elsa quickly put the blueberry cheese donuts in her drawer and said, “Thanks for pushing back my weight loss program. Now, what’s up?” Luke said, “I’m here for cases. I can’t work on any of the cases you gave me now.”
Elsa was lost for words.
She hadn’t expected the Elsworth family to be involved in both the case of the girl in pajamas and the death of the Texas ranger.
Additionally, Palmer had asked for a favor, and had taken over the donut store case and the case of the fuel truck robbery, so Luke couldn’t continue investigating those.
However, the last thing that the Major Crimes Division lacked was cases, and each one was more urgent than the next.Elsa pulled a stack of case files over so that they were in front of her. “Do you want to take it easy or work hard?”
Luke replied offhandedly, “Anything is fine, as long as the case has leads.”
With a knowing expression, Elsa straightaway picked out some case files from the bottom and threw them to Luke. “I already put these ones aside for you.”
Luke said, “Thanks for your trust, boss.”
A moment later, they both left, and Elsa sighed with relief.
When Luke had gone out to play for a week, she had put together quite a number of tricky cases that were suitable for him.
He was trustworthy.
Relaxed, she opened the paper box. Smelling the sweet donuts, she took a bite out of one of them, and sighed contentedly. “Blueberry cheese; I haven’t had one of these in a long time.”
