In the federal government, all kinds of law enforcement agencies can be said to be like carp crossing the river, as many as cattle hair.

Needless to say, the local police stations in each region.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation, or FBI, which manages cross-border federal cases.

There is also the Central Intelligence Agency, or CIA, which specializes in foreign cases and operations.

But in addition to these three most well-known law enforcement agencies, there are others.

Like what......

The Bureau of Naval Crime (NCIS) specializes in federal navy-related crimes.

The Army's Criminal Investigation and Investigation Department, which is responsible for Army-related cases.

There are also those of the Air Force.

Even the Coast Guard Investigation Department has the power to investigate bodies found on the shoreline.

In general, in one sentence!

The law enforcement agencies here, all kinds, you think of them, and even those you don't think of, all have law enforcement agencies with law enforcement authority.

So sometimes, in a case, you can even see that as little as two law enforcement agencies are robbing, and as many as six or seven law enforcement agencies are grabbing the right to handle the case.

The Sentinel Secret Service is a small minority, but it is indeed a law enforcement agency with law enforcement authority.

In the beginning, though, the Sentinel's authority was small.

Because when the Sentinel Secret Service was established, the major law enforcement agencies could be said to be bloated to a certain extent, and the law enforcement powers of each other had overlapped.

It's as if the bread has already been divided, and even everyone is no longer enough to eat, how can it be possible to sit down and another person who eats the bread to enter the venue.

So at that time, the Sentinel Secret Service was attached to the military, but later, as the times progressed, and the number of mutant cases began to gradually increase across the Federation, the Sentinel Secret Service began to gradually come into use.

Eventually, the Sentinel Secret Service was successfully transformed into a cooperative department of the Ministry of Justice and the military.

But the law enforcement authority is all restricted.

The law enforcement authority of the Sentinel Secret Service is only valid for mutants, and does not have any law enforcement authority for ordinary people.

To put it simply.

If there is a mutant, even if he doesn't do anything, the Sentinel Secret Service has the right to control and contain him.

But if it's an ordinary person, even if this ordinary person is installing a little boy on a Hollywood landmark, and the Sentinel Secret Service is nearby, he is not qualified to arrest him.

However, most ordinary people, where would they know this.

Except for those who always like to fight against law enforcement agencies when they see them, other normal people will choose to cooperate after knowing that the other party is a law enforcement agency, even if the other party has no authority.

Rachel herself graduated from Columbia University's School of Journalism and has a dream of doing professional journalism.

So Rachel is aware of the jurisdictional authority between the major federal law enforcement agencies.

But......

After Rachel finished speaking, in order to confirm, she still looked at Luke: "I remember that there is no law enforcement authority for ordinary people, yes, right." ”

Luke nodded.

Rachel then looked at Jiaying and Carl, "You should have complained on the spot." ”

Carl's eyes lit up and he looked at Rachel, "That's what I said at the time. ”

Jiaying shook her head and said, "Forget it, it didn't take long anyway, after confirming that we are not mutants, they let us go." ”

She's an alien.

Mutants are two different concepts.

To put it simply.

Inhumans and mutants, to put it bluntly, are two different species.

So Jia Ying is not afraid of the Sentinel Secret Service.

Of course.

There is another reason why Jiaying cooperates with the Sentinel Special Service Group, that is, the traditional characteristics of the Eastern Kingdom, more things are better than less things are playing a role.

Rucker didn't say anything about this, but asked, "Did you change your plane?" ”

Carl shook his head.

"Not yet."

"As soon as we found out about what happened here, we rushed over as soon as possible."

Jiaying looked at Lu Ke and asked with concern, "Are you okay, Lu Ke." ”

Luke squeezed out a reluctant smile on his face: "Thank you, I can withstand it, in fact, you don't need to come here." ”

Jiaying Zhengse said: "Then how can it be done, you are the best friend our couple has ever met." ”

Luke thanked him again, and then said, "That's it, it's delaying your trip to New York City again." ”

Jiaying shook her head: "It's been delayed for so many years, and it doesn't matter if it's a few more days." ”

Just know that their daughter is in New York City.

That's enough.

Moreover, it has been confirmed from the DMV system in Queens, New York City, that there is indeed a Skye person.

Jia Ying and Carl also saw Skye's driving photos.

It's their daughter, Daisy.

It's just that the address on Skye's driver's license at that time has long been invalidated, and there is no other renewal of the address.

Luke helped contact the FBI in New York City, and Carl contacted an old friend in New York City to help find him.

It's just that there's no good news yet.

in the intensive care unit.

Jiaying looked at Lorna Dane, who was lying in a coma on the hospital bed, and said to Luke on the side, "Your sister is beautiful. ”

"Of course my sister is beautiful."

The corners of Lu Ke's mouth rose, like a genuine brother, looking at Jiaying, unabashedly loving his little sister: "When she was a child, she was even cuter than now." ”

Jiaying nodded: "I can see it." ”

Luke then sighed: "Because of the undercover matter, I can say that I have disappeared for two years, even if I go home, I will secretly watch, I originally thought that I would find time to go back next month, but I never thought about it...... This is what happened. ”

Jiaying comforted Luke: "I'm sure your sister will be fine." ”

Luke looked at Lorna on the bed: "I hope so!" ”

Xiaomei was surprised to suddenly encounter such an accident, and suddenly, it was normal to forget his brother, who had not been back for two years.

After all......

Brain diseases are hard to tell.

And there are so many people who suddenly encounter accidents, wake up and can't remember their family members clearly, or simply forget that part of their family members are over there.

So, Lorna Dane woke up and suddenly didn't remember the existence of such a brother as him.

Weird, isn't it?

Not surprising.

Contrary.

This is normal.

It couldn't be more normal.

After all, no one would suspect that a dignified FBI deputy director of operations would lie about this matter if Rucker, who was already a well-deserved superhero in the hearts of the West Coast people and had a good reputation among the people.

So!

Luke didn't think at all that Lorna Dane had better not wake up.

Even more than anyone else, he hoped that his sister, who had suffered this catastrophe, would wake up as quickly as possible and unharmed.

Jia Ying and Carl didn't stay in the hospital room for long.

The two were probably in the hospital room, accompanied by Luke and Rachel, and when they stayed until about eleven o'clock, they offered to leave.

Lu Ke and Rachel, who also wanted to go downstairs to get some fresh air outside, simply sent the two downstairs, and after watching Jiaying and Carl leave, they turned around and walked towards the inpatient building again.

Luke said to Rachel, "Hungry, go to the restaurant here and have a meal?" ”

Rachel was indeed hungry and smiled and said, "Okay." ”

She smiled not because she could finally eat, but because Luke finally knew she was hungry.

After all, Luke hadn't eaten much when he was at the manor drinking party last night, and he was drinking with that group of people.

And he didn't sleep all night, and he didn't eat in the morning, so logically speaking, he was already sleepy, and he was hungry.

But Luke didn't feel that way at all.

Rachel interprets this to mean that Luke is overly sad, and the adrenaline triggered by the sadness washes away the feelings of sleepiness and hunger.

Now.

Luke finally said that he was hungry, which does not mean that Luke had come out of his grief.

But at the very least, it proves that Luke has tried to accept the accident, and has accepted the consequences of it.

That's a good thing.

That's why Rachel is happy.

In the inpatient dining hall on the fifth floor.

Luke and Rachel found a place to sit by the window.

Rachel looked at Luke, who was sitting opposite, with a smile on her face, and after opening the package, she took a big bite of the burger and helped insert the coke on the side into the straw and handed it to Luke.

Luke said thank you.

"All of a sudden, I felt so hungry."

"You knew you drank last night, and you didn't eat this morning, can you not be hungry?"

"No way, that Dodge guy has to ask me for a drink."

Luke thought about yesterday, not pulling himself to ask him to golf and pulling him to drink again, and Dodge, a little speechless, and then looked at Rachel: "Do you know why this guy was so enthusiastic about me when they first met?" ”

Rachel shook her head: "Mrs. Dodge and I are also curious, why?" ”

Luke smiled and said in a low voice: "Dodge said that his girlfriend at the time was also an Easterner, but Mrs. Dodge dumped some tricks, so that he misunderstood his girlfriend, causing him to break up with his girlfriend, he thought I knew his girlfriend, and wanted me to help find his girlfriend at the time." ”

Rachel couldn't help but want to laugh: "It seems that this state legislator is still an infatuated person." ”

Luke shrugged.

Rachel looked at the ashes on Luke's forehead and opened her backpack to take out a tissue to wipe it for Luke, and then saw a badge in his bag.

"That's right."

Rachel took out the FBI badge that Penning had just given her and handed it to Luke: "This is the one that Penning gave me when he came over, and said, this is also from the ruins, this is the badge you didn't go home at the time, but sent back." ”

Luke looked at the badge in Rachel's hand, his brow furrowed slightly.

The next second.

Luke hummed softly and took the badge Rachel handed over.
