A retired reincarnator from a certain American film studio

Detectives Martin and Roger from the Los Angeles Police Department, along with Hondo from the Counterterrorism Task Force, are also here today.

Director Pan Ning also came.

Even Vince, who has been busy repairing federal government vehicles these days, made a special trip from the shop.

but……

Vince was standing alone not far away.

After all, with the FBI on his left, the LAPD on his right, and Rachel's friends in the media in front of him, the pressure on Vince was immense.

However, there was no one else besides these people.

After all, the Danes' social circle was almost entirely concentrated in the Mill community, and the explosion in the Mill community practically took away 99% of their friends.

Ten o'clock in the morning.

The funeral ended in a light drizzle.

Luke looked into the distance, where dust returned to dust and earth to earth, everything returning to level ground. He then turned his gaze away and walked to Rachel beside him. "I'll go talk to Father Perez."

Rachel nodded.

Luke then walked toward the stage not far away, where the priest was also packing his things.

"Father Perez."

Luke approached Father Perez, who was dressed in a black priest's suit, had a snow-white beard, and sported a Mediterranean hairstyle. He reached out and shook Perez's right hand to express his gratitude: "Thank you for your help. If you need anything in the future, please feel free to call me."

As he spoke, Luke took out a pre-prepared business card from his pocket and handed it to Father Perez: "This is my personal number."

He doesn't believe in God, but he still has the respect due to believers who believe in the existence of gods and that they will be blessed as long as they are devout.

not to mention.

There are many priests in Los Angeles, but Father Perez, standing before us, is definitely one of the top priests in all of California.

For Luke, befriending a prominent priest in California was not a bad thing.

Father Perez was about to refuse, but looking at the name on the business card, he accepted it: "The gates of heaven will open for Victoria and Susanna."

A business card from the Assistant Director of Operations at the FBI in Los Angeles is more than just a contact number.

Luke thanked Father Perez again for his blessing, then looked up and called out to someone not far away, "Jack."

Upon hearing this, Jack, who was not far away with Debbie and Earl, quickly ran over.

"Boss."

"Please escort Father Perez back to the church for me."

"Ok."

Jack nodded.

Luke then shook hands with Father Perez again to express his gratitude.

"Thank you for your help, Father. Take care."

"Thank you."

Father Perez also said thank you, and then, under Jack's umbrella, he followed Jack toward the black car parked not far away.

The funeral is over.

But for Luke, the eldest son of the Dane family, the mission was not over.

After Luke accompanied Rachel to shake hands and express their gratitude to the media friends who came to attend the funeral, the two then saw off the high school students who had come from Orange County.

After finishing his business on both sides, Luke went to Vince's side.

Vince was Luke's brother, so no further words were needed. After just a few simple words, Vince hugged Luke and then left on his own.

Luke then walked over to Martin, Roger, and Hondo at the Los Angeles Police Department.

The four of them hugged.

"Condolences."

"Thank you."

Luke nodded.

From the time Lorna was discharged from the hospital until her funeral, almost everyone who saw Luke said the same thing to him.

Luke was already immune to this.

and……

He has already sent his condolences to those who deserve it.

after awhile.

Martin, Roger, and Hondo didn't linger either. After telling Luke they'd meet again sometime, they left the cemetery on their own.

After watching Roger and Martin leave, Luke walked up to Pan Ning, took out a cigarette from his pocket, opened it, and handed one to Pan Ning.

The two lit cigarettes.

Luke and Panning stood under a big tree, looking into the distance. Earl and Debbie sat down with Rachel, comforting her younger sister Lorna, who was crying the most.

He is fake.

But Lorna is real.

She was genuinely saddened and...feeling guilty about the passing of her parents.

Pan Ning looked at the scene under the rain shelter not far away.

"Is your sister alright?"

"Time is the best healer; only time can heal this kind of pain."

As Lu Ke spoke, he exhaled a smoke ring.

During this time, although he brought Lorna home, Lorna was basically like a lost soul, sitting silently in the backyard almost the entire time.

Rachel was worried about Lorna's mental state more than once, and almost called a psychologist to come to the house to take a look.

But Luke knew why Lorna was acting this way.

If nothing unexpected happens, Lorna should now understand the real reason behind the explosion in the Mil community.

Pan Ning, who was standing to the side, turned her gaze to Lu Ke.

"The case of the explosion in the Mil community can be closed."

"reason?"

"The terrorist attack, a Middle Eastern terrorist organization, resulted in the immediate killing of the three masterminds and twelve accomplices involved in the attack, all thanks to the FBI's decisive action."

"it is good."

This was also part of the compromise agreement.

The White House dropped Lorma Dis and the Justice Department exempted Luke from his age and from training at the Quantico Federal College. In return, the Mills bombing could not involve the White House or the Justice Department in anything else.

In short, it’s just one sentence.

Regardless of the truth behind the bombing in Mil community, this matter should end here. The case should be closed as soon as possible to put an end to this farce.

Yes.

farce.

The White House official used those two words to characterize the bombing that claimed at least fifty lives.

However, even if it's a farce, it's a farce that's gotten out of hand and threatens his approval rating, so he has to end it as soon as possible.

And it must end in a dignified manner.

This is why the bombing case in the Mil community dragged on for a full month and a half before it was finally closed.

Because finding a scapegoat for such a big case isn't something you can just do on a whim.

Fortunately, California is a large country. It would be easy to find fifteen members of a Middle Eastern terrorist organization from such a large state and then wipe them all out.

and so……

The bombing in Mir community has come to an end.

This is a good ending for many people.

Luke looked at the newly added tombstone in the distance, inscribed with the names of Victoria and Susanna, and exhaled a smoke ring.

Lorna doesn't need to worry; the truth behind the bombing in the Mil community has been uncovered.

Luke no longer needs to worry about his identity.

After the Danes were buried, it meant that, from an official standpoint, his identity was no longer a concern.

No one can openly use his identity to create hype or raise any questions or doubts about him anymore.

Even if someone later dares to do the same, Luke has the best reason.

The loopholes in his identity were deliberately created by former White House staffer Lorma Dis, in collusion with the Attorney General, to target him.

Anyone who questions his identity is questioning the Attorney General and White House staff, and also the White House mascot.

and so……

Lu Ke withdrew his gaze, threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stomped it out, and said to Pan Ning beside him, "Are you free tomorrow night?"

Pan Ning asked, "What's wrong?"

Luke said, "I've made plans with Dodge for dinner tomorrow night at the Forest Whisper restaurant in Runyon Canyon Park. Want to come along?"

State Representative Dodge helped ensure that his adoptive parents were buried in this forest meadow cemetery.

After all, the Forest Meadows Cemetery in Los Angeles is known as the Federation's preferred cemetery.

This isn't a place where you can just walk in and be buried after you die.

State Representative Dodge happened to know one of the cemetery's board members, and through that board member's arrangement, a burial plot was vacated and given to Luke free of charge.

It feels a bit strange to send it to a cemetery.

but……
