Less than two days after returning to Los Angeles for the weekend, Jack took advantage of the holidays to go on a solo trip to Las Vegas, where a Star Trek commemorative exhibit was taking place.

As a former American drama fan, pseudo-science fiction fan and glue guy, and now he has a little money in his pocket, he wants to come to the special exhibition to find out if there are any gadgets worth collecting.

For example, the model of the Federation Starship Enterprise, or the Enterprise, and then the Voyager, the Discovery, and the Deep Space Nine.

Of course, if he could collect them all at once, Jack wouldn't mind making room in his study and putting two cabinets on display.

Originally, Hannah planned to follow, but when her promotion notice arrived, she was promoted to Senior Special Agent less than half a year after she became a Special Agent.

Hannah had to stay, and in addition to receiving congratulations from her colleagues and superiors, Mr. and Mrs. Anderson hosted a family dinner for her.

Jack was so grateful for this kind of family gathering that he shuddered at the thought of having to face their families with Zoe and Hannah at the same time.

Jiejie is also not in Los Angeles, and has flown to Silver Spring to see her parents, but Red is very interested, but unfortunately there is a lecture at the University of California that he needs to attend, and in the end, Jack can only drive the firebird to this world-famous casino alone.

Los Angeles is very close to Las Vegas, and Jack departs at 5 p.m. and arrives at his booked hotel at around 9 p.m.

The hotel industry in Las Vegas is for casinos, and it is close to the off-season, and the prices of suites are ridiculously low, even in the more luxurious Linnick Hotel, a night in a junior suite can cost less than $200.

Jack tipped the front desk for $20, and the junior suite was upgraded to a luxury suite, a trick that Rhett had taught him.

Before Red was banned from all Las Vegas casinos, he was a regular here, he didn't have a gambling addiction, but he liked to count cards.

Of course, this trick is common in the hotel industry in the United States, but in the casino during the off-season, the success rate is greater.

Jack has no interest in gambling, so he wanders around the hotel's casino, admiring the bunny girls in a beautiful way, and then turns around and strolls into an Italian restaurant called "Vintner Grill".

He has a general feeling about French food, and of course it may be influenced by Rossi, eating out, and if he doesn't find a more authentic Chinese restaurant, he usually chooses Italian food.

The first time you ask a girl to eat, when you don't know the other party's taste, choosing an Italian restaurant with a good reputation is a less likely choice.

Yes, before he was in Las Vegas, he made an appointment with the FBI agent who looked exactly like the Scarlet Witch in the Marvel movies in his previous life.

Unlike BAU's relentless approach of leaving the finishing touches to the local police department after a case has been completed, Jane Banner spent nearly two months in Wyoming and only recently returned to her Las Vegas office.

It's not that Jack really thinks about people, but when he was planning to travel, he called Jane in front of Hannah and agreed to dinner today.

After all, they caused such a big deal in the Wind River Valley, and if it wasn't for Jane Banner's cooperation, I'm afraid it would have taken a lot more effort.

It is natural to invite someone to have a meal to express gratitude, and by the way, Jane, the main manager, can learn about the outcome of the case, of course, Jack mainly wants to know if there is anything to pull down.

Without making anyone wait, Jane Banner appeared in a burgundy evening gown, escorted by eyes all the way.

"It's stunning." Jack was full of compliments.

Jane no longer wanted to wrap herself in Wyoming like a bear, and her close-fitting evening dress showed off her beautiful figure to the fullest.

With her long dark brown hair tied up in an elegant bun and her legs looming in the slit hem of her skirt, Jack struggled to make her eyes look straight into her blue jewel-like eyes.

Because the heart-shaped cut-out chest design of this dress is so eye-catching.

"Actually, I should have invited you to dinner today, as you expected, I was promoted as soon as I got back to Vegas." As soon as the two of them sat down, Jane couldn't wait to share her joy.

"So, should I call you now?" Saying that, Jack sent the waiter and personally opened the champagne as a congratulatory message.

"For the time being, it's still a Special Agent." Jane blinked, she just wore light makeup today, and she didn't wear false eyelashes, but her big eyes were fanning, and she was a little more playful and cute.

If this girl ignores her figure and simply looks at her face, she is not the type that makes people stunning at a glance, but she is absolutely attractive.

Maybe it's a beautiful meal, for both sides, a meal is enjoyable for the guests and hosts, even if it is almost over, there is a sudden storm outside, lightning and thunder, but it has not been able to spoil the good mood of both parties.

Jane recounted her experience in the Wind River Valley for the past two months, and unsurprisingly, both the state and federal governments, as well as the BIA, the department with the name of the "Bureau of Indian Affairs," were trying to keep a low profile in handling the case.

With no task force, no "SCIS" (Task Force for Field Investigations), and even police support from elsewhere, an FBI trainee agent and a tribal police station with fewer than 10 people handled two major cases with more than 20 victims.

In the whispered conversation between the two, Jane was simply full of admiration for Jack, looking at him with eyes that were sticky as if they were about to draw, and just as she offered to ask someone to take her back to her apartment, there was a sudden thunderclap outside, which instantly plunged the surroundings into darkness.

"What happened?" Jane subconsciously grabbed Jack's right hand, and the original whispers of the surrounding diners changed from the exclamations of the ladies at the beginning to the loud inquiries of the male customers.

Jack looked out the window, and the same was true of the glittering casinos and hotels outside, and the whole street was plunged into darkness, and people couldn't help but feel like the end was coming.

Soon, a light came on, and the restaurant manager, who was holding an emergency light, hurried to the middle and beckoned the waiters to bring the lit candles.

According to the restaurant manager, it seems that a large electrical substation was struck by lightning, causing a ripple effect that has now plunged not only Las Vegas but most of Nevada into darkness.

The restaurant was equipped with an emergency generator, and some of the power was quickly restored, and soon most of the buildings outside were lit up one after another.

However, it was clear that the emergency generators were not enough to support the decorative lights and street lights on the exterior walls of the buildings, and the streets were still very dark, but some police cars with flashing lights almost immediately arrived nearby.

I shouldn't be able to get in the way of anyone with this book, right? I also asked for leave in advance, but several probationary numbers jumped out and said that I was a eunuch and I was very sick.
