A retired reincarnator from a certain American film studio

Even the Coast Guard Investigation Bureau has the authority to investigate bodies found on the coastline.

In short, it can be summed up in one sentence!

The law enforcement agencies here are all kinds of things; there are law enforcement agencies with the authority to enforce the law, including those you can think of and those you haven't even thought of.

Therefore, sometimes, in a single case, you might even see as few as two law enforcement agencies vying for the right to handle the case, or as many as six or seven law enforcement agencies competing for it.

The Sentinel Special Service is a niche agency, but it is indeed a law enforcement agency with law enforcement authority.

However, in the beginning, the Sentinel Special Operations Bureau had very limited authority.

When the Sentinel Special Service was established, the various law enforcement agencies were already quite bloated, and their law enforcement powers overlapped.

It's like the pie has already been divided up, and there's not enough for everyone. How could it be assumed that another person will enter the fray to eat the pie?

So at the time, the Sentinel Special Service was affiliated with the military. It was only later, as times progressed and mutant cases began to increase across the Federation, that the Sentinel Special Service began to find its place.

Ultimately, the Sentinel Service successfully became a collaborative agency between the Department of Justice and the military.

However, their law enforcement authority is completely restricted.

The Sentinel Special Operations Department's law enforcement authority is only valid against mutants; it has no law enforcement authority over ordinary people.

Simply put.

If there is a mutant, even if he has not done anything, the Sentinel Special Operations Agency has the right to take control of and contain him.

But if it's an ordinary person, even if that ordinary person is installing Little Boy on a Hollywood landmark, and your Sentinel & Secret Service is right next to them, you have no right to arrest them.

However, most ordinary people wouldn't know this.

Aside from those locals who inexplicably like to confront law enforcement agencies, most normal people will choose to cooperate once they know that the other party is a law enforcement agency, even if the agency does not have the authority.

Rachel herself graduated from Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism and had always dreamed of working in professional journalism.

Therefore, Rachel was aware of the jurisdictional boundaries among the various federal law enforcement agencies.

but……

After Rachel finished speaking, she looked at Luke to confirm: "I remember that you don't have the authority to enforce the law against ordinary people, right?"

Luke nodded.

Rachel then looked at Jia Ying and Carl: "You should have complained on the spot."

Carl's eyes lit up as he looked at Rachel: "That's what I said too."

Jia Ying shook her head and said, "Never mind, it didn't take long anyway. After confirming that we weren't mutants, they let us go."

She is an extraordinary person.

Mutants and mutants are two different concepts.

Simply put.

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

Therefore, Jia Ying is not afraid of the Sentinel Special Operations Bureau.

Of course.

There was another reason why Jia Ying cooperated with the Sentinel Special Operations Group: the traditional Dongguo custom of "it's better to do less than more."

Luke offered no comment on this point, but instead asked, "Did you reschedule your flight?"

Carl shook his head.

"not yet."

"We rushed over as soon as we heard the news."

Jia Ying looked at Lu Ke and asked with concern, "Are you alright, Lu Ke?"

Lu Ke forced a smile: "Thank you, I can manage. Actually, you didn't need to make a special trip."

Jia Ying said seriously, "How can that be? You are the best friend my husband and I have ever met."

Luke thanked him again, then said, "That's it, I've delayed your trip to New York City again."

Jia Ying shook her head: "So many years have already been wasted, a few more days won't matter."

All they need to know is that their daughter is in New York City.

This is enough.

Moreover, it has been confirmed through the DMV system in Queens, New York City that Skye does indeed exist.

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

That's their daughter, Daisy.

The only problem was that the address on Skye's driver's license had long been invalidated, and there were no other address updates.

Luke helped contact the FBI in New York City, and Carl also contacted an old friend in New York City to help with the search.

There's just no good news yet.

In the intensive care unit.

Looking at Lorna Dane, who was lying unconscious on the hospital bed, Jia Ying said to Lu Ke beside her, "Your sister is very beautiful."

"Of course my sister is beautiful."

Lu Ke smiled, looking at Jia Ying like a true older brother, making no attempt to hide his affection for his little sister: "She was even cuter when she was little than she is now."

Jia Ying nodded: "I can tell."

Lu Ke sighed and said, "Because of the undercover operation, I can say that I disappeared for two years. Even when I went home, I was just watching secretly. I was thinking of finding time to go back next month, but I never expected... this happened."

Jia Ying comforted Lu Ke, "I believe your sister will be alright."

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

It's quite normal that the younger sister was so surprised by this unexpected event that she suddenly forgot about her brother, whom she hadn't visited in two years.

after all……

Brain diseases are inherently difficult to diagnose.

Moreover, there are so many cases where people suddenly encounter accidents, wake up and can't remember their family members, or have simply forgotten some of their family members.

Therefore, Lorna Dane woke up and suddenly didn't remember having such a brother.

Is it weird?

Not surprisingly.

Quite the opposite.

This is normal.

Couldn't be more normal.

After all, no one would doubt that Luke, a dignified deputy director of operations at an FBI field office, who is an undisputed superhero in the eyes of the West Coast people and enjoys a good reputation among them, would lie about this matter.

and so!

Luke had absolutely no idea that it would be best if Lorna Dane never woke up.

He hoped more than anyone else that his sister, who had suddenly suffered such a terrible calamity, could wake up safely and as quickly as possible.

Jia Ying and Carl did not stay in the ward for long.

The two stayed in the ward with Luke and Rachel until around 11 o'clock, when they said goodbye.

Wanting to go downstairs and get some fresh air, Luke and Rachel escorted the two downstairs. After watching Jia Ying and Carl leave, they turned around and headed back towards the hospital building.

Luke said to Rachel, "Are you hungry? Let's go to one of the restaurants here and get something to eat?"

Rachel was indeed hungry, and said with a smile, "Okay."

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

After all, Luke hadn't eaten much at the manor party last night; he'd been drinking with that group of people the whole time.

Moreover, he hadn't slept all night and hadn't eaten breakfast. Logically speaking, he should have been extremely tired and hungry by now.

But Luke didn't feel that way at all.

Rachel interpreted it as Luke being overwhelmed with grief, and the adrenaline triggered by the grief offset his sleepiness and hunger.

at the moment.

Luke finally said he was hungry, which doesn't necessarily mean he's moved on from his grief.

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

This is a good thing.

That's why Rachel was happy.

In the hospital cafeteria on the fifth floor.

Luke and Rachel found a seat by the window.

Rachel smiled as she watched Luke sitting across from her, who had just opened his burger and taken a big bite. She then helped him by putting a straw in the Coke next to him and handing it to him.

Lu Ke said thank you.

"I suddenly feel really hungry."

"You were drinking last night and didn't eat anything this morning, how could you not be hungry?"

"There was nothing I could do; Dodge insisted on challenging me to a drinking contest."

Luke thought about how, yesterday, State Representative Dodge had dragged him along to play golf and drink with him, and he couldn't help but complain. Then he looked at Rachel and said, "Do you know why this guy was so enthusiastic towards me when we first met?"

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

Luke smiled and said in a low voice, "Dodge said that his girlfriend at the time was also from the East, but Mrs. Dodge used some tricks on him, causing him to misunderstand his girlfriend, which led to their breakup. He thought I knew his girlfriend and wanted me to help him find her."

Rachel couldn't help but laugh: "It seems this state legislator is quite the romantic."

Luke shrugged.

Rachel looked at the ash still on Luke's forehead, opened her backpack, and prepared to take out a tissue to wipe Luke's forehead. Then she saw a badge in his bag.

"correct."
