Chapter 226 I’ll Remember to Wear Pants
Jenny had left a deep impression on Selina, as she was the typical example of a suspect who wouldn’t help with the investigation because they were guilty themselves.
Luke suddenly wondered if he had something to do with all this.
It was WD-36 that had provided Jenny with weed. They were one of the largest gangs in the drug business in the USC area.
Previously, Luke had destroyed six gang bases in six days to get enough experience and credit points. He recalled that he had killed WD-36’s third in command.
But Luke didn’t say anything and only continued with his questions.
Half an hour later, Luke and Selina rose and said goodbye to Sheerah.
At the door, Luke thought for a moment before saying to Sheerah, “Sheerah, I’ll try to resolve your problem in a week. Don’t worry too much, and just focus on your own things.”
Sheerah wasn’t surprised. She knew that Elsa trusted and thought highly of this young man. She nodded and said, “Call me if you need anything from me.”
Luke nodded with a smile. “You, too. You have my number.”
Selina put on a weird expression.
After they got in the car, Selina suddenly asked, “Are you interested in her?”
Luke was puzzled. “Huh?”
“What she said at the end was very strange. ‘If you need anything from me’… Hehe, isn’t she in her thirties?” said Selina playfully.
Luke said, “She’s only 29. If you say that she’s in her thirties to her face, she’ll get her security to kick you out!”
Selina said, “I believe she would. Hm, if she calls you in the middle of the night and says, ‘I must have you, baby,’ are you gonna run over naked?”

Luke said, “No, I’ll remember to wear pants.”
Selina: “…I must have you, baby.”
Luke: “What?!”
Selina: “Why are you still wearing your shirt? You said yourself that you’d only be wearing pants if you heard that.”
Luke: …B*stard!
As they talked and laughed, they reached Jenny’s villa.
A security guard came over after they pressed the doorbell, and it wasn’t any of the ones whom Luke met before. The man asked, “Can I help you?”
Luke showed the man his badge and said, “I’m Luke from LAPD. This is Selina. We’d like to talk to Miss Jenny about some local happenings.”
The security guard frowned and said, “You can ask me.”
Luke nodded and asked, “Do you know that some dealers are peddling weed in this area?”
Shifting his gaze, the security guard said, “No, I don’t.”
Luke chuckled and said, “Have any of the neighbors mentioned it before?”
The security guard shook his head. “We aren’t familiar with our neighbors. This is Beverly Hills, you know, not an apartment building.”
Luke nodded and said, “Then sorry for disturbing you.”
Then, he and Selina got into their car and left.
Selina said, “That security guard was too cold. Why does it seem like he didn’t like us?”
Luke chuckled. “Who knows? I didn’t see him last time. The security guards have changed.”
Selina saw that Luke was driving in an odd direction. “Where are you going?”
Luke said, “The front door is fine, but most accidents happen at the back. We need to take a look.”
Selina didn’t really understand, but she knew that Luke had his reasons, so she stopped asking.
Luke was thinking that if Miss Jenny was still buying weed, the transactions would only happen at the back door. So, it wouldn’t hurt to check it out.

At the back, Luke slowed down and rolled down the window as he observed the environment.
How things had changed! The last time he came to this villa, Elsa had still been indifferent to him.
A Ford SUV suddenly blew past them. Luke took a sniff and hit the brake.
Thinking for a moment, he eased up on it and slowly drove on.
This place had changed.
The back entrance, which had been almost directly facing the house across the street, had moved.
Luke observed from the car for a moment, and knew that the back entrance was now out of the range of the surveillance camera across the street, which belonged to Smith.
Jenny had adjusted her own surveillance camera, too. It was installed behind the back door and wouldn’t capture a view of anything else.
It seemed that Miss Jenny hadn’t given up after the video tape incident last time, and was continuing with her little hobby.
The rich could indeed do whatever they wanted.
But of course, weed wasn’t really a big deal in America.
Everybody had the odd friend or two who had smoked weed before.
Observing the environment and taking deep breaths, Luke turned the car around and sped up.
Selina asked, “Huh? We aren’t getting out to check out the area?”
Luke said, “No need. Miss Jenny is in the SUV that just passed us. There’s no need to be concerned with her villa now.”
Selina was confused. “She left her house?”
Luke said mockingly, “Well, I don’t know if she went willingly, but there are four men in that car, and none of them are her security guards, so what do you think?”
Selina didn’t question his judgment, and merely frowned. “Four men who aren’t her security guards? Has she been kidnapped?”
Luke said, “I can’t say for sure, but we can track them.”
The four men didn’t smell as clean as security guards, and reeked of weed, heroin, cash and gun oil as well as gunpowder.
They were all probably drug dealers.
With Elementary Driving and Sharp Nose, Luke caught up to the SUV just several minutes later.
This SUV was pretty shabby and old, but all the windows had been upgraded with dark tint.
It was thus impossible to see what was going in the car except through the windshield.
Tinted windows weren’t rare in California, where the sun was strong, and they certainly weren’t unusual on a car that had four drug dealers and a girl.
Selina waited, only to realize that Luke was just following the SUV. She thought for a moment before she asked, “Are you hoping to catch more of them?”
Luke chuckled and nodded. “Miss Jenny doesn’t like us anyway, so we’ll just let her enjoy the company of four men with strong body odor.”
Selina had no objections. After all, she didn’t know Jenny, and she always supported Luke unconditionally.
Just like that, the two cars left Beverly Hills and entered a neighborhood south of USC.
Luke sped up and parked the car on the side of the road thirty meters away before the people in the SUV got out.

Beyond the Bridge
There are many worlds, many multiverses, and you can move between them via the Federation's Bridge network - magical gateways to other worlds. The world dubbed "C'thon" by its inhabitants - or Gamma-Theta-Nu-649, if you ask the Federation's bureaucracy - was deserted when the Federation found it. The "civilized" races had all died out centuries prior, and the wilderness had grown downright feral in their absence. Now, the lonely Federation outpost of Bridgetown is under constant threat from the hungry wildlife, malicious fey, territorial goblins, and wandering undead that surround it. The town's distance from the Federation's centers of power means that it gets precious few of the resources that it needs to stay safe and afloat. Enter the Guild of Adventurers, a plucky and disparate crew who do the Federation's dirty work in exchange for coin. One team, the first of many, crosses the Bridge to C'thon looking for fame, fortune, and (if they're lucky) the answer to a newly-discovered Prophecy. They'll get much more than they bargained for, although first they need to avoid being eaten by the local wildlife. Updates weekly on Wednesday. Chapters will be as long as they need to be for them to work, which means they can vary. If anything drops below 2500 words, I'll post an extra chapter if I have one ready. [PS: This is not a litRPG, but I do borrow heavily from TTRPGs for inspiration, and the general setting and storyline is from a TTRPG campaign I'm running.] [PPS: This is my first attempt at writing long-form fiction. I'm not trying to make a great piece of literature or have a multi-novel overarching plot, but hopefully it'll still be a fun story - let me know what you think in the comments.] [PPPS: Cover image is from a free-download wallpaper by Tyler Edlin; I do not own it, and will take it down immediately if requested.]
