"Sir, Director Luke Dane's plane has just set its course, and it is expected to arrive in Los Santos at five p.m."

"Back to the city?"

"Yes."

"Got it."

Hill, who was in his office, said a word, then hung up the phone and leaned back in the chair behind him.

Because of what Luke made clear yesterday, Hill also simply withdrew the trailing S.H.I.E.L.D. agents and satellites.

That's the rule.

If the other party doesn't say it, you can pretend that the other party doesn't know, but if the other party says it and you continue, then you will tear your face.

And Ruke is also the same as he said on the phone, Poland is the last stop, and now he is really transmitted back to the city.

But......

Maria Hill just thought something was weird.

Evidence?

She didn't.

Asking is a woman's unique sixth sense.

Of course.

It's not all a woman's sixth sense.

With this in mind, Hill retrieved his phone, opened the social software, and found Rachel and Lorna's social circle.

As before, half an hour ago, a new round of selfies that had been carefully repaired by the two women had been uploaded.

Hill admires the past one by one.

These photos, like the previous ones, are almost the same, landscape photos, feature photos, selfies.

But it just feels a little weird.

That's right.

Why don't you have a hot spring photo?

Hill raised an eyebrow suddenly.

Just when her eyes lit up subconsciously, she thought of the picture of Luke going to the hot spring alone yesterday, and felt that she seemed to have grasped something, and just as she was about to get up, she overturned the idea that had just risen.

Maybe Lorna and Rachel don't like hot springs.

It may also be because Luke wants to talk to her, so he secretly avoids the two daughters, just like before, Luke will occasionally leave the two daughters to call his lover who is far away in Seoul or the hive, or far away in Texas.

Wait a minute.

Lover? I?

What the hell are you thinking?

Hill blinked, smiled a little speechlessly, shook his head, turned off the phone, and threw it back on the table.

It seems that this guy is really just traveling with his fiancée and sister.

Hill sighed.

She wasn't sighing for not catching Luke's pigtails, but because she had wasted all this manpower and material resources just to test a conjecture that might not exist.

It's a tough time.

Because Nick Fury was suspected of embezzlement during his reign, after she came to power, the Council of the Five Overlords was very concerned about the financial situation of Aegis.

Hill thought for a moment, opened the notebook in front of him, opened a document, and began to type through the file, intending to write a report for the record, in case the Council of the Five Overlords asked about this expense, so that there would be an explanation.

Anyway, she doesn't have much place to use money, over the years, three hundred and sixty-five days of overtime work and three hundred days of overtime pay, plus money can make money and improve financial management, Hill does not have any idea about Aegis's funds of more than 100 million at every turn.

Not at all.

Because her own assets add up to more than 100 million.

But......

Just as Hill opened the document and tapped for instructions, there was a knock on the office door.

"Enter."

"Commander."

A female agent pushed open the door and walked in, not very old, about thirty years old, blonde, with a good complexion, but with a temperament that was difficult to hide.

"Rita."

Hill looked at the agent who came in, knew this woman, temporarily closed the notebook, and said with a smile: "Coming back from vacation?" ”

The female agent is a veteran employee played by Sanfei, and before Hill took the position, Rita also worked as her assistant for a while.

Half a month ago, because there was something at home, I took a vacation and went back to my hometown of Texas.

Yes.

Texas.

After all, only a Texas woman can have a good face and at the same time, she also has this kind of fierce atmosphere that looks extremely inconsistent but is very natural.

But Rita didn't come here today to sell the fake.

Belch......

Not the main reason.

Rita didn't hesitate, but directly said one thing she saw when she went back this time.

"Sir, I seem to have seen Agent Natasha Romanloff's boyfriend, Jack Allen, in Texas."

“……”

Hill was slightly stunned.

"Jack?"

"Yes."

"Are you sure?" Hill frowned.

Rita nodded, then shook her head again: "The last time I went to Los Santos on a business trip with you, I met from afar, but I can only guarantee that there are eight layers of similarity, because I asked my colleagues in Los Santos, and they said that Jack Allen is in Los Santos. ”

When Hill heard this, he laughed: "Then it may be a mistake." ”

Rita nodded, and then said something that has been passed on in the town since she went back this time: "It's possible, but when I go back this time, the people in the town said that there seemed to be two people nearby, who had been inquiring about the church, but they entered the church and left after sitting for a long time, and then I inquired, and it was a white man and a middle-aged man with an Asian face who inquired about the church, and I found a photo of Jack Allen, and they also said that it was somewhat similar." ”

As everyone knows.

The Confederation is vast and sparsely populated.

Texas is even worse.

And because of the simplicity of the people of Texas and the blessing of the Lone Star faith, the people in the small town of Texas are unusually united, friendly and mutually helpful.

Therefore, some things, especially when something new happens, will always spread very quickly in such a small town.

For example, a white man and an Asian come to a small town, and they don't do anything, they like to go to various churches, especially to go to the cemetery.

When Hill heard this, the expression on his face became a little serious.

As everyone knows.

Rub doesn't move, Jack goes first.

In Hill's mind, this has become a law of predicting Luke's movements.

Hill gave it a name.

The Luke formula!

Soon.

Melinda May's video call goes through.

"Commander."

"May."

After connecting up, Hill asked directly, "Where is Natasha now?" ”

The words fell.

Natasha on the side popped up from Melinda's side: "Sir? ”

Hill raised an eyebrow.

"I'm not with Jack today."

"Sir......

Natasha couldn't help but say: "Sir, I'm in love at work, you said it yourself, you won't hold me accountable for falling in love at work now." ”

Hill didn't get away from the topic: "Jack isn't in Los Santos?" ”

Natasha also heard that Hill was talking about business, and she was not naughty, and said with a straight face: "Yes, I woke up in the morning, we went to have breakfast together, and then he went to work, and I also came to work, what's wrong?" ”

Is Jack still in Los Santos?

Hill was confused, but he didn't hide it, but told what Rita found when she returned to her hometown just now: "Rita said that when she returned to her hometown this time, she seemed to have seen Jack. ”

Natasha and Melinda looked at each other.

"Jack?"

"Yes, Rita wasn't sure, but she felt the need to report back."

Hill said, "Natasha, are you sure that Jack has been in Los Santos during Luke's trip?" ”

Natasha also nodded very simply, and even couldn't help complaining: "I have now vacated a wardrobe for him to hang clothes." ”

Melinda on the side quipped: "It's okay, it's just a wardrobe, anyway, you still have so many wardrobes and shoe closets." ”

Natasha didn't pay attention to Melinda, but after saying this, she seemed to think of something.

Ciel noticed Natasha's expression.

"What's wrong?"

"But if there's anything out of the ordeal, it does."

"What?"

Natasha thought about it, and then shook her head: "Maybe I guessed wrong, it's that this guy sometimes talks in his dreams at night, I asked once, and Jack said that he has always had the habit of talking in his dreams." ”

Melinda waved her hand.

She thought Natasha had made some special discovery.

That's the feeling?

Hill also shook his head with a slight smile.

Natasha followed this sentence, recalling the picture of Jack talking in his dreams a few times before, and then frowned: "I remember one time, he said in his dreams, it seems that he did mention some church. ”

Hill's eyes lit up instantly.

"Are you sure?"

"Not sure."

Natasha shook her head, and then couldn't help but look at Ciel: "Commander, in the middle of the night, since that guy came back, I don't know why, I feel a lot more violent, I'm also very tired, I can be 100% sure that what I heard is true." ”

Hill shook his head a little speechlessly.

Video footage.

The three girls looked at each other, all of them lowered their eyebrows, as if they were thinking in a daze with big eyes.

After a while.

Ding-dong.

Hill came back to his senses and turned on his phone, and Rita sent a photo.

Open it.

Hill looked at what seemed to be a candid photo, raised his eyebrows, and directly shared the photo into the interface of the video call.

Melinda and Natasha were also stunned when they saw this photo.

"This, Jack?"

"Commander, this picture ......"

"Rita's friend in her hometown sent it, this photo was captured by this guy who seems to be Jack and his friend when they left a church."

Hill said the origin of this candid photo, and then, also frowned a little and said: "I also look like Jack, but, I feel a little wrong age, it seems to be a little older than Jack, by the way, Natasha, does Jack have a brother in his profile?" ”

When Natasha saw this photo, she seemed to have guessed something, stared at the photo deadly, gritted her teeth and said, "Brother, he doesn't have it, but he has a lot of himself." ”

Hill and Melinda were slightly stunned.

The next second.

The two of them seemed to have something in mind, too.

"Is this a clone of Jack?"

"That's not right."

Melinda frowned and said, "The clones of the hive base, aren't they all cremated, our people are watching." ”

Hill seemed to have something in mind at the moment, too.

She remembered that the last time she had returned, Natasha had only told her about Jack's performance when she was at the cloning base.
