The Extraordinary Life of a Certain American Comic...

Are vampires under the jurisdiction of the FBI?

This joke isn't funny at all.

Locke wasn't without classmates who joined the FBI; in the federal political and law enforcement agencies, Harvard and Yale are two separate entities.

Furthermore...

In the past two years, his first target was the supernatural vampire. If the FBI had been in charge of vampires, would he have had to wait until today?

Locke once borrowed a classmate's FBI account to log into the internal system. Not to mention vampires, even serial killers, the number of whom the FBI had failed to find was over three digits.

and so……

This looks exactly like a law enforcement agency on federal land, without any enforcement authority, impersonating the FBI.

He wouldn't say who it was.

I understand everything I understand.

Besides, we'll know whether it's true or not when the person arrives.

after awhile.

Jack and Brown, who had just gone to the information office, also returned after receiving the news that the case was to be transferred to the FBI.

Brown walked up to Locke with a grim expression: "Locke, this case cannot be handed over to the FBI."

What a joke.

The person who died was his team member, not an FBI agent. Why should this case be handed over to the FBI?

Locke, who had just turned on his computer and was sitting in his seat, looked up at Brown, who was staring at him intently, and sighed: "Brown, the rules are there."

The Sentinel Secret Service has no jurisdiction over cases involving non-mutants.

Upon hearing this, Brown took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and said in a low voice, "Locke, it was one of our men who died."

Locke glanced at Brown, frowned, and instead of responding to that question, changed the subject, asking, "Did you find anything in the information office?"

Brown frowned.

Jack, who was standing nearby, quickly added, "Not much, but his credit card statement shows that he goes to a bar called 'Satan' every night."

Locke raised an eyebrow.

"every day?"

Jack nodded: "Yes, most of the time it's around 3:30 in the morning."

As he spoke, Jack handed Locke the credit card statement that he had just printed out from the IT department.

Locke took the documents Jack handed him and nodded thoughtfully.

See, we've found the second and even more vampires.

Low-level vampires need to drink blood every day, otherwise their bodies will begin to weaken.

only……

"What was the amount spent?"

Locke looked up at Jack as he saw the amount spent on the credit card statement: "Three hundred dollars a night. Where does he get his money?"

Good heavens, even spending three hundred a day wouldn't be that extravagant for him.

Locke's current annual salary is around $120,000, which translates to about $10,000 per month or $2,500 per week.

The salary looks like a lot, but it's actually not that much.

The apartment building just across from Central Park costs two thousand dollars a month in rent.

Not to mention he's still paying off his student loans every month.

This doesn't even include monthly expenses for food, clothing, housing, and transportation.

At the beginning of this year, Locke became a senior agent, received a raise, and also received occasional subsidies from his high-paid wife; otherwise, he would have truly been living paycheck to paycheck.

But what did he see on the bill? Every day, every night, from 3:30 to 4:00, a fixed expense of $300.

300 a day, that's 2,100 a week, 90,000 a month, and 1.8 million a year.

hiss.

He had heard that every vampire was a hidden millionaire, but this level of spending was just too outrageous.

"Well……"

Jack and Brown listened to Locke's accounting method and felt that something was not quite right, so they exchanged a glance.

Brown shook his head: "We found that he has an overseas bank card under his name, and a consulting agency regularly remits money to him every month. It was when we found this consulting agency that the system triggered the blocking of his information."

Locke stroked his chin: "Informant fee?"

Brown said in a deep voice, "In short, this case cannot be handed over to the FBI, Locke."

Locke looked at Brown, whose tone was low, and couldn't help but chuckle: "When did I ever say I was going to hand over this case?"

Brown frowned.

"Didn't you just say you wanted to...?"

"Since it wasn't a mutant who died, this case isn't under our jurisdiction."

"Well……"

"But the person who died was a mutant who could turn into a vampire, wasn't he? The test tube changed color, didn't we all see that?"

"..."

Eyes facing each other.

Brown stared at Locke's eyes and expression, paused for a moment, then exchanged a glance with Jack beside him, a puzzled look on their faces.

The two of them then nodded in unison to Locke.

"Yes, that's right, we saw it."

"That'll do."

Locke chuckled again, shrugging, "Since the deceased was a mutant, then who should we transfer this case to?"

Mutants and mutant cases are cases that only the Sentinel Secret Service has the authority to handle.

It's the kind of law enforcement agency that no other agency can get through to.

He never intended to transfer the case, even though he was quite certain that the FBI agents who were coming were not real FBI agents but imposters from some illegal organization.

Yes, I'm talking about you, S.H.I.E.L.D.

Locke had no interest in deliberately making things difficult for S.H.I.E.L.D.; if anyone was going to make things difficult, it was S.H.I.E.L.D. who made things difficult for him first.

He was still hoping to expand his extraordinary recipes using the vampire who died yesterday.

This situation is very similar to something.

Locke had prepared the ingredients and was ready to cook when the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, without even consulting him, decided to pack up and take away his ingredients and even his cooking utensils.

Who could tolerate this?

It's true that he doesn't want to get too involved with S.H.I.E.L.D., but that doesn't mean he'll remain indifferent when they come to his door and slap him in the face.

Furthermore...

Not only did five people in our group die, but the case was also stolen. If the other groups found out, they'd probably laugh at us for ages.

Especially Brown, what if we upset him?

He's still counting on Brown to give him some extraordinary points.

and so……

The one who died yesterday wasn't a vampire, but a mutant whose abilities were very similar to those of a vampire.

That's what they wrote in their report too.

Locke glanced at Jack and Brown, who were looking at each other with a hint of excitement on their faces. He checked the time on his watch and said to Jack, "The FBI is probably on their way, so Jack, you'd better finish writing yesterday's case report before they arrive and send it to Walter for his signature."

Once the report is submitted, the evidence is irrefutable, and no one will escape unscathed.

The one who died was a mutant whose abilities were very similar to those of a vampire; they were mutants.

Upon hearing this, Jack quickly snapped out of his daze and headed back to his seat.

"I finished writing the report yesterday. I'll check it again and then submit it."

"...I'll help you."

Brown also turned around and caught up with Jack, intending to help Jack speed up.

Locke watched the two leave, smiled, and said nothing.
