September 1st.

Back-to-school season.

Columbia University, located in the high ground of Uptown Manhattan, New York City, also welcomed this year's freshmen today.

Of course.

In addition to the new students, there are also parents who are relieved of their children and come to accompany them.

Independent, autonomous?

Don't.

The cost of federal education is very high, and it is precisely because of this that college students who do not receive scholarships have to pay for their own education loans, and this matter has become a separate representative in the form of false rumors.

Do they need a loan if they have money in their family?

No, you don't.

Just like Lona.

Although Lorna does not have a scholarship, she also does not need to apply for her own student loans like other students.

The question is that Lorna was originally a little rich woman.

It's just that the money at that time was requisitioned by Lu Ke, who was still in the development period.

Now.

The property is returned to its rightful owner.

Lorna couldn't help but blink when she looked at Luke, who had accompanied her early in the morning to go through the enrollment procedures, and then took out a bank card and a bunch of keys from her pocket and handed it to her.

"What is this?"

"Bank cards, keys."

Luke put his hands in his pockets and spoke succinctly.

Lorna opened her mouth.

"I'm not stupid."

"Then you still ask."

"It's not."

Lorna shook her head, glanced at Rachel, who was standing and chatting with a fashionable girl not far away, and then looked at the bank card in her hand: "I mean, why give me this." ”

Luke shrugged: "This was meant to be yours." ”

He just lacked start-up capital back then, so he temporarily borrowed Lorna's New Year's money.

Now that his development is over, he has no interest in holding the little girl's money.

What else was Lorna trying to say.

Luke interrupted directly, told Lorna that the password to the bank card was her birthday, and then pointed to the set of keys in his hand and said, "This key is the key to the apartment we lived in yesterday, and it can be regarded as a gift for you." ”

Lorna froze in place, staring at Luke with wide eyes.

"Brother."

"Huh?"

"Don't you want me?"

"How so."

Luke smiled when he heard this, then looked at Lorna, whose eyes were almost full of tears, realized that there was something wrong with the tone of his voice, and said with a smile: "What do you want, give you this, because you are old and need your own space, and I can only pass at the end of the year, weekends and rest days, if you don't want to stay in the dormitory, you can go to this apartment." ”

Lorna stopped the tears that were about to burst out of her eyes, and was skeptical.

"Really?"

"Rachel."

Luke shook his head, looked at Rachel, who had already returned, and pointed at Lorna, "This girl just thought we didn't want her." ”

Lorna hurriedly looked at Rachel, as if she was looking for something.

Luke has very little time at home, not as much as Rachel, and Rachel is also in charge of tutoring, so in terms of blood, Luke's half-brother and sister are closer, but in terms of relationship, Lorna is still closer to Rachel.

Rachel met Lorna's gaze for verification, directly scraped Luke aside, and then hugged Lorna and said: "Your brother has never known how to speak, and you don't know, don't worry, I don't want your brother, I won't want you." ”

After some reassurance, Lorna believed it.

Soon.

It's time to separate.

Luke, Rachel and Lorna make their way to the school gate.

Rachel also told Lorna that she had entered Lorna's fingerprints and information into the curfew of Fifth Avenue, the apartment in the Star Building, where they would be moving into at the end of the year, and told Lorna that she was bored on the weekend and could help go there to see the progress of the renovation or something.

Lorna readily agreed.

Although Ruke's appointment has not been officially announced, if Director John of Quantico intends to make a joke, Luke does not mind making a deadly joke with Director John.

So.

A house in New York must be prepared first.

Luke yesterday took out a few of the more suitable houses in the inheritance, arch Rachel picked.

A duplex apartment of 400 square meters.

There is also a manor house in Jersey City across the Hudson River.

The manor side is used for big events, such as dinners, and the penthouse on Fifth Avenue is used for everyday living.

After all, the federal building in New York State is Manhattan, and CBS News is headquartered in Manhattan.

So it's very convenient to live on Fifth Avenue and go to work or something.

But after coming over yesterday, Rachel was not very satisfied with the decoration of the apartment, thinking that there was still some time before moving in, and planned to redecorate and decorate it.

Luke didn't care about this and let Rachel play.

Entrance to the campus.

Lorna sent Luc and Rachel to the door: "Then Rachel, you and Luke, are you going back to Los Santos today?" ”

Rachel smiled: "I'm going back to Los Santo, and I don't know about your brother." ”

As he spoke.

Rachel looked at Luke with a smile, "So, Mr. Dane, are you coming back to Los Santos with me?" ”

Luke smiled, just about to speak.

A black Chevrolet SUV was parked aside.

The next second.

The windows are pulled down.

Maria Hill appeared in the car, looked at Luke with some surprise, was surprised, and then pushed the car door and walked out.

"Director Dane, is that a coincidence?"

"It's a coincidence."

Lu Ke was also a little surprised and shook hands with Hill, who came over: "Commander Hill, shouldn't it be in Washington?" ”

Hill, who had greeted Rachel and Lorna, answered Rock's question: "Came to Manhattan for a meeting, it just ended, Director Dane is ......"

Luke pointed to Lorna on the side: "Send my sister." ”

Hill was stunned.

"And Director Dane is going to the airport now?"

"Sort of."

"That's great."

Hill smiled: "It's just right, I'm also going to the airport, together?" ”

Luke looked at Rachel on the side.

Rachel smiled, "Wouldn't this be too much trouble for Commander Hill?" ”

Hill waved his hand and smiled.

After some greetings, Luke took Rachel and got into the black SUV in front of him that was heading to JFK Airport together.

Lorna, who stayed where she was, looked at the black SUV in the distance, retracted her gaze, rolled her eyes, took out the phone from her pocket, and dialed: "Clarice, I'm here, where are you." ”

As a good friend, plus Clarice Chen, who is also a mutant, also joined Columbia University, but unlike Lorna, who needs a letter of recommendation, Clarice Chen, actually got a B-class scholarship to enroll.

John F. Kennedy International Airport.

The Gulfstream private jet borrowed from Alexander Pierce has not yet been returned and is still being requisitioned by Luke.

After all, it is already a very cost-effective thing to pay back with a plane.

in the hangar.

The black SUV came to a steady stop.

After Luke drops Rachel out of the car, he hugs Rachel and then watches Rachel get on the private jet.

He didn't move.

Because on the way over, when Rachel was chatting, she suddenly found that Hill went to the airport not to go back to Washington, but to Texas.

The destination was pleasantly surprised to fit with Luke.

It's not.

When Hill heard that Luke was also going to Texas, he once again made an offer.

Going with Hill's private jet is like Luke still having to get Rachel back to Los Santos before taking off for Texas.

Gulfstream planes roll out of the hangar, ready for takeoff.

Ding-dong.

Luke pulled out his phone and looked at the text message Rachel had sent.

Text messages are just two words.

"Coincidence?"

"Maybe."

After Luke replied to the message, he looked at Hill, who was already inviting from the Aegis private jet not far away, smiled, took back his phone, and walked over.

After a while.

The Aegis private jet, also during the peak period of JFK International Airport, directly cut into a flight that was ready to take off and flew to Seoul, and after taxiing rapidly, it soared into the sky.

in the cabin.

Luke and Hill, facing each other, sat down.

"Director Dane, you want Bourbon."

"Thank you."

Luke took the Bourbon handed over by a female S.H.I.E.L.D. agent, glanced at the female agent who turned around and walked towards the rest pod, and then looked at Hill opposite: "New assistant?" ”

Hill introduced Rita: "I was released before, but she didn't like to be alone, so I simply let her come back and continue to be my assistant." ”

Luke nodded and took a sip of the wine in his glass: "By the way, is Commander Hill going to Dallas on business this time?" ”

Hill shook his head, a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, Aegis is confidential, it's not easy to reveal, Director Dane won't mind." ”

Luke smiled, "Of course not. ”

Hill breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with some curiosity: "Director Dane is going to Texas this time, it shouldn't be official business." ”

The jurisdiction of Aegis extends to 10,000 miles in the sky, down to 20,000 miles under the sea, and covers nine continents in the middle.

The FBI is different, one turnip and one pit.

Luke's expression was also a little embarrassed: "It's really not a business, but, I'm sorry, personal privacy, I don't want to say it, Commander Hill shouldn't mind." ”

Hill also smiled and said, "Of course not." ”

Luke didn't speak, holding up his glass and clinking glasses with Ciel.

That's when it happened.

Rita, the female agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., who had just passed the rest module, walked over with a document in her hand and handed it to Ciel: "Commander, Sanfei has just sent the information of the Sawyer family. ”

Luke, who was drinking, paused his right hand slightly.

Ciel took the information handed over by Rita and was about to flip through it, when he noticed Luke's right hand that had just paused.

"Director Dane, what's wrong?"

"Nothing."

Luke recovered for a second, shook his head, and took a sip of wine again.

Seeing this, Hill didn't ask too much, sat opposite in front of Lu Ke, and directly flipped through the information in his hand.

into the eyes.

It's a picture.

And the person of the photo, Luke is very familiar.

It was his last trip to the hive, and he was going to look for it this time, his new Texas girlfriend, Heather Miller!
