Clarice dared to take the gamble.
If she bets right, then this crisis can be perfectly resolved; at the very least, they won't be exposed because of David's involvement.
David is alone, so it doesn't matter.
But they are different from other mutants; in fact, if possible, they would rather not be mutants.
pity!
Luke is not home tonight.
When Lorna brought Clarice home, she didn't see Luke at the bar where Luke usually respawned, but instead saw Rachel.
"what?"
"Is Lu Ke not coming back tonight?"
"..."
Rachel, who was wearing an apron and chopping broccoli, looked at Lorna, whose face was full of disappointment after hearing that Luke wouldn't be coming home that night, and said with a smile, "Lorna, I know my cooking isn't as good as Luke's, but you don't have to be that disappointed."
Lorna was slightly taken aback, then quickly shook her head: "No, Rachel, that's not what I meant."
Rachel's lips curled into a smile.
"Then what do you mean?"
"We just have something we want to ask Luke."
"you?"
Rachel glanced curiously at Lorna and Clarice beside her, then blinked and asked, "What do you want with Luke?"
Lorna and Clarice exchanged a glance, then shook their heads at Rachel.
Rachel saw this.
"secret?"
"Ah."
"secret."
"Ok."
Rachel shrugged and didn't press the matter further. Instead, she said to Lorna, "Luke just called and said the Sentinel Service is here. There's a case that's urgent, so they might be back a little late tonight."
Upon hearing this, Clarice gasped and exclaimed, "The Sentinel Special Operations team has arrived?"
Rachel looked at Clarice suspiciously, who seemed to overreact upon hearing the name Sentinel Service. She nodded and said, "Yes, Sentinel Service. I heard they came here because of the bank vault robbery in Los Santos."
Clarice froze on the spot.
coming.
The Sentinel Special Service agents did indeed arrive.
After Rachel finished speaking, she turned her gaze to Lorna and smiled, "If you two girls really have something urgent, you can call and ask when he will be back, or you can tell me first."
Lorna opened her mouth.
Clarice snapped out of her reverie and looked at Lorna: "Why don't you ask Luke when he'll be back?"
Lorna nodded.
Rachel smiled, wiped her hands clean with her apron, took her phone out of her pocket, and handed it to Lorna.
Lorna took over, said thank you, and then, under the watchful eyes of Rachel, who was holding a glass of red wine, and with Clarice's expectation, dialed Luke's number.
The call was answered quickly.
"Hey, Rachel."
“Lu Ke”.
"Lorna?"
Lu Ke raised an eyebrow as he listened to the voice on the phone, put down the photo in his hand, turned around, and looked down at the luxuriously decorated apartment lobby with two motorcycles parked there.
"what happened?"
Are you coming home tonight?
"Yes, I'll go back as soon as I'm done."
"Around what time? Clarice and I need to talk to you."
Clarice.
Lu Ke raised an eyebrow and glanced at the time on his watch: "Around eight or nine o'clock, I guess."
Lorna and Clarice exchanged a glance, and the latter nodded.
"Then we'll wait for you at home."
"it is good."
"..."

This apartment is truly luxurious.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Ke turned his gaze to the spacious and luxurious living room on the first floor, where two brand-new motorcycles were even parked, and thought to himself.
at this time.
call out!
In the living room on the first floor, the space appeared wrinkled, and then David, dragging a suitcase, suddenly appeared in the living room.
next second.
David stared in surprise at the reflection in the clean, mirror-like living room tile floor.
Swish!
David subconsciously looked up and saw Luke, who had his hands on the railing and was smiling at him.
Eyes facing each other.
Lu Ke's lips curled up slightly.
"David Jones?"
"..."
David snapped out of his daze, looked up, and stared at Luke, who was walking down the spiral staircase not far away, under his gaze.
"who are you?"
“Lu Ke, that’s my name.”
What are you doing in my room?
"You took something you shouldn't have taken."
Luke walked down the spiral staircase, hands in his pockets, and smiled as he looked at David, whose eyes revealed shock and fear but who was trying to appear calm. He said in a very calm tone, "Give me the document you took from the Atlanta vault."
There was a snap.
David dropped his suitcase and turned to walk towards the front door.
"I don't know what you're talking about. Please leave my house, or I will..."
"Call the police? Sure, I'm the FBI."
"..."
Hearing this, David stood at the gate, turned around and looked at Luke, who, taking advantage of the moment, pulled his federal credentials apart from Luke's, who was at least three meters away.
After showing his federal credentials, Luke put them back and said with a playful smile, "What mutant would be so stupid as to go to the Sentinel Service's headquarters to steal something? Even Magneto probably isn't as brave as you."
David frowned.
"Who is Lao Wan?"
"Magneto, what? As a mutant, you've never even heard of him?"
"..."
David did not speak.
How could he not have heard of it?
Magneto holds an extremely high position in the hearts of mutants, even surpassing that of a certain bald professor.
Because compared to the bald professor who makes them compromise, forget the oppression of mutants by humans, and learn to accept everything, Magneto, who teaches them to resist, to fight, and to struggle for their own freedom, is the one who best fits the standard of an idol.
but……
Since the Atlanta mutant catastrophe in 2005, Magneto has been missing, and even the bald professor seems to have retired from the world and no longer cares about mutant feuds.
But that wasn't the reason David didn't speak.
Instead, Lu Ke directly revealed his identity.
David's heart pounded as he looked at Luke, who was smiling at him. His heart was beating at the same rate he had when he first transmitted the data to the vault two years ago, making him feel uneasy and anxious.
quite a while.
David snapped out of his daze.
"I am not a mutant."
"It doesn't matter."
"what?"
"Whether you are a mutant or not is none of my business. All I want is the thing you took from the Atlanta vault, that's all. Give it to me, and as for you, go wherever you want."
Lu Ke spoke expressionlessly, then looked around at the luxurious duplex apartment in front of him, which was at least 350 square meters in total.
After confirming with Debbie that the David Jones in front of him had appeared in the surveillance footage of all seven robbed banks, he became certain that David Jones was the vault thief.
but……
