Chapter 799: Scattered Old Friends
In Cuba, there is a street racing competition going on here.
It was still broad daylight, and Luke felt the enthusiasm of the Cuban people as soon as he arrived.
The main thing is that everyone here is wearing T-shirts and shorts, but Luke is still wearing that high-end suit, and you can tell at first glance that he is a rich man.
The beauties in Cuba are very passionate.
Luke rejected the invitations of various enthusiastic Cuban girls and walked towards the man who was collecting money in the crowd.
"Hey, Fernando..."
"Wardfake? Am I seeing that correctly? Are you here to arrest me, Agent Dutton?"
Fernando is Thom's friend.
When Tom and others took refuge in Pardonia, they had a lot of business dealings with Fernando.
After Tom and his friends staged a drama with Dyke and carried out a grand account settlement operation, they disappeared.
These people knew that many organizations had excellent electronic reconnaissance capabilities, so they did not use any electronic equipment to communicate.
The phone is also the kind that is destroyed after use.
Luke didn't want to look for them one by one. Even with Captain Jack's compass, he had to go there in person.
Luke didn't want any trouble, so he went straight to Fernando.
This guy is the only one who can contact Thom.
Luke now feels like he has returned to his original nature.
Sometimes there's too much reliance on supernatural powers, which makes things boring.
Just like when he was looking for Silver and met the Wolfe brothers, Luke didn't use his superpowers, but relied entirely on his approachable temperament...
These guys robbed so much money in Brazil last time, they should be living a carefree life now.
Fernando also knew Luke.
If it weren't for Luke, Tom and his business wouldn't have received any special care in Pardonia.
Juan, my old friend, is still the president of Pardonia.
"Hey, Mr. Fernando, I'm officially informing you now that you are under arrest. You don't need to keep silent, but I will take what you say seriously, and you will be punished by buying me a drink."
"Oh, Shet, I can't afford the kind of wine you drink. There is only Kristo Light here, nothing else."
The two knew they were joking, but they hugged each other anyway.
Fernando is the local boss here and can be considered the organizer of the street racing world.
Fernando called a younger brother to arrange his subsequent game matters, and then went to a snack bar on the street with Luke.
"Boss, give me some fried plantains and half a dozen Cristoforo."
Luke added, "Another roast pork, with more sauce, please."
Seeing Luke's familiarity and his authentic Cuban-flavored Spanish, the boss enthusiastically agreed.
After the beer came, they also gave us a fruit platter and some dried fruits as a gift.
Then, Luke started chatting with Fernando about all sorts of things.
After a few bottles of wine, Luke talked to Fernando about Tom.
This time, Luke has to figure out the identities of Tom and others.
For the state police part, Luke has to find some tough guys.
At least the kind with superior driving skills.
In the past, it’s not that Luke didn’t have this ability, but the cost was very high.
Luke also has a way to clear Tom and the others, but it's very troublesome.
At that time, not only the judicial authorities were keeping an eye on Tom and his team, but even the CIA was keeping an eye on them.
Later, Luke intervened and asked Thom and others to cooperate with MI6 in settling accounts in Europe and bring out Hydra.
Tom did a great job on this.
Later, the action died down.
The main reason is that Hydra doesn’t dare to settle the accounts.
This is not a settlement, this is a write-off...
In the end, they were destroyed by Steve and the British SBS (British special forces more mysterious than SAS).
Let alone making up for the loss, it would be good enough if we can recover some losses.
And now, Harris has complete control of the FBI.
The important thing is that, when Brian went undercover, it was also a mission assigned by Harris.
The reason why it was difficult to get him back in the first place was entirely because Harris also had rivals.
Bringing Brian back was easy, but what about Thom?
As a family man, a family should be together. Brian himself would definitely not want to come back.
Moreover, he and Luke are classmates and roommates, so they have a great relationship.
Harris naturally has to take Luke's factors into consideration and cannot force Brian to come back to serve.
So, the matter was left unresolved at that time.
But Harris is now the director of the FBI.
After all, Harris has the final say.
Luke felt that these old friends must be having a hard time now that they have money and have lost the joy of life...
It's time to rehabilitate them and find a real job.
After Tom and others went into seclusion, they lived very cautiously, and they also had enemies.
Although Luke managed to resolve the Brazil issue, we were still prepared for the worst.
The European drama is over, but we are also afraid that Hydra will come knocking.
Therefore, everyone later lived in seclusion in an extremely cautious manner and spread out.
These are all things Fernando told Luke.
Originally, Luke arranged for them to continue living in Pardonia.
But a few of them didn't want to cause trouble for Juan there.
Because of Luke, Juan took great care of them.
I often drink with them in private.
They planned to hide for a few years and then reunite after the storm had passed.
But Luke didn't expect that Silver would give him an unexpected surprise.
All roads within hundreds of kilometers around the town of Paradise are under the jurisdiction of the state police.
The police station in a small town can only enforce the law within the small town.
In the past, the state police officers simply refused to cooperate.
Why? Because there is no harm without comparison.
The treatment at the Paradise Police Department is so good.
And the old cowboy is famous for his high standards.
It is really impossible for ordinary people to work as police officers in a small town police station, even as ordinary police officers.
There's no way around it. These state police guys weigh almost a hundred kilograms each.
The old cowboy will just arrange a test for you, as long as you can beat our front desk receptionist Erica.
As a result, the burly state police officers were easily knocked down by a little girl.
The fall made these people doubt their lives...
Gunmanship test?
Old Cowboy: Let me see. Oh, this is our new police officer, Jonathan Wicker. I hope you can beat him in performance.
After the game, the state troopers were confused... Who am I, where am I, and what am I going to do?
What did this guy do before?
Full-time househusband? Are you serious about this in Paradise Town?
Many state troopers who wanted to switch jobs to Paradise were discouraged by the "ordinary police officers" here and began to doubt their lives.
Therefore, we all have the same attitude towards all kinds of criminals that escape from the town.
It's only a few thousand yuan a month, what's the point of playing with our lives? Punching out on time is the serious matter...
Luke can call the contribution made by Silver great.
Although they are still state police in name, in reality, this area can be completely controlled by the town of Paradise.
It's just a difference in administrative divisions, but the management rights are completely controlled by the town.
It turned out that those state police officers were also happy because they finally made it to the Paradise Town system.
Thinking back to my interview at the Paradise Police Department, I almost cried with joy.
This is simply pie in the sky...
