The extraordinary life of a certain American comic

Chapter 194 Locke works overtime for the first time

From graduation to joining the Sentinel Secret Service, tonight was the first time in so many years that Locke did not choose to go home but stayed and worked overtime.

And he actively asked to stay and work overtime.

Don't ask.

Any married man knows this.

Locke sat on the sofa in the office, drinking the bourbon in his hand happily, and couldn't help but admire his wit.

Not long ago, Locke hung up the call with Hill and just returned the phone to Natasha.

The latter's words directly shocked Locke.

Natasha looked at him with a smile in her eyes: "It's almost time to get off work, let's go."

As soon as these words came out.

Locke met Natasha's eyes, his waist, and his kidneys once again launched a final and decisive protest.

If you keep doing this, we're really going to go on strike.

At that moment, his mind was moving faster than light.

soon.

Locke sighed and said he couldn't leave tonight.

"What?"

"I want to stay here to prevent people from Dolan's organization from coming at night to rob Calder."

"... Prison robbery, they don't dare to do it here."

"Haha, they dare to perform a lynching trial under our noses, what else can they not dare to do?"

"...Then I'll stay with you."

"no."

Locke's heart suddenly jumped again, and then he said to Natasha with a serious face: "I plan to use Calder to fish. If you stay too, they will definitely think that we are on guard, so you have to leave."

Natasha listened to the reason given by Locke. Although she always felt something was strange, she didn't find anything wrong.

that's all.

Natasha left Sentinel in the afternoon.

Locke was also able to protect his kidneys and waist.

Blame it on Catherine.

One sentence.

Who told her to squeeze her too hard at that time?

Locke did not hesitate to put the blame on Catherine, not thinking that it was because he had found too many lovers.

Just then.

The phone on the coffee table rang again.

Locke put down the wine glass in his hand, grabbed the phone, looked at the incoming call, and his heart twitched again.

Connected.

"Stephen."

"My dear, it's almost eight o'clock, why haven't you come back yet?"

I almost forgot, Stephanie is in New York City too.

Locke thought to himself, then apologized and said: "There is something going on in the bureau tonight, and I am still working overtime in the bureau. I won't go back tonight."

Stephanie on the other end of the phone was a little surprised when she heard this.

"Working overtime, do you need to work overtime too? But I'm going back tomorrow."

"That's great."

Locke secretly thought in his heart, but did not say it out loud. Instead, he continued to say in an apologetic tone: "No, Debbie and Jack can't handle it. It's okay. You go back to Washington first. When I finish the work at hand, I will Going back to Washington to find you?”

"Really?"

"When did I lie to you?"

"Oh well."

Stephanie gave up, and after talking privately with Locke for a while, she reluctantly hung up the phone.

After Locke put down the phone, he breathed a sigh of relief again.

He suddenly discovered something.

No wonder married men are less averse to working overtime.

Working overtime in relationships is also a kind of protection for married men.

Locke sighed in his heart.

"Dong dong."

"Enter."

Locke looked up at Debbie who walked in with a satchel on her back and a pizza box in her hand.

"Boss, your pizza has arrived."

"good."

Locke stood up and took the pizza handed over by Debbie: "It's so late, you and Amelia should go back too."

Debbie smiled and said, "We're leaving now."

Locke smiled slightly: "Be safe."

Originally, Jack and Debbie wanted to stay with him, but he actively refused.

If people from Dolan's organization really come, Jack and Debbie won't be able to help in a battle of this level.

After Debbie said goodbye to Locke, she closed the door again, then looked at the assistant Amelia who stayed to work overtime together and said, "Okay, let's go."

Emilia also put on her satchel and nodded.

soon.

The entire forty-fourth floor was brightly lit but empty.

Locke carried the pizza, pushed open the office door, and came to the office area outside. After glancing at the empty office area, he raised his eyebrows and walked towards the interrogation holding room.

As soon as he entered the interrogation and holding room area, he heard the constant sound of chains clashing in the room where Calder was being held.

At this moment, Kalder was still trying his best to break free from the chains cuffing his limbs.

The chain hit the floor, and sparks flew out.

"Don't bother."

Locke put one hand in his pocket and walked over with pizza in the other. Looking at this scene: "If we really want you to break free, our Sentinel Secret Service can close the door."

Calder looked at Locke walking towards him, stopped trying to break away, and looked at Locke expressionlessly: "We are not hostile."

Locke was immediately happy when he heard this.

"How do you know that we are not hostile?"

"We are all doing the same thing, keeping the world safe and protecting humans from the dangers of extraordinary creatures."

"You think so?"

Locke pushed the pizza box directly to Calder's feet, and then looked at Calder: "What qualifications do you have to do this? If I remember correctly, the New York Police Department protects New York City, the FBI protects the Federation, and our Sentinel Secret Service protects the world. SHIELD protects the world. It seems that your Dolan Church is not among them."

Speaking of this.

Locke couldn't help shaking his head: "You are right, we are not hostile, we are mortal enemies."

Seizing power is no different from killing parents.

Just look at how hard it was for the Sentinel Secret Service to grab the cake from SHIELD before.

If Nick Fury's foundation was not clean, their Sentinel Secret Service would only have the authority of a mutant until now.

Although now that Maria Hill has come to power, SHIELD seems to have compromised.

But...

Hill just took a more moderate approach. Even if he gave up the jurisdiction of supernatural creatures in the entire New York State, didn't the Sentinel Secret Service still choose to act together with SHIELD in the supernatural creature business in New York State?

The original text can be read in the six # 9 @book/bar!

It seems that he gave up, but in fact he didn't. He even made a profit while passing the blame.

There is no way. The Sentinel Secret Service has poor information about the supernatural world, and SHIELD is a lean camel that is bigger than a horse. If they want to complete the integration of supernatural creatures in New York State in the shortest time, they still need to rely on SHIELD information and even personnel help.

But no matter what, the dispute between SHIELD and the Sentinel is an internal affair.

And what about the Dolan Church?

Good guy.

They are fighting with SHIELD, but in the end, a wild illegal organization is trying to manage the entire wizard group quietly under their noses.

Are you crazy?

This is completely ignoring him and SHIELD.

So Locke and Hill have the same attitude towards such a wild illegal organization.

Show up and kill them in seconds.

He wrote a report, Hill approved the note, and then expedited the submission of the list of people to be shot.

Calder's face changed when he heard Locke's words, and he seemed to want to say something.

But Locke didn't come here to listen to Calder's nonsense that they were not enemies but allies.

"Tell me, if your people knew that you were imprisoned here, would they choose to come here to rescue you?"

"You can't hold me."

"Try."

Locke smiled slightly, then glanced at the pizza at Calder's feet: "I'm done talking to you, let's eat, I'm leaving first."

After that.

He turned around and walked away without looking back, ignoring Calder's words behind him to wait again.

One failure makes one wiser.

The same trick has no effect on him.

Dolan's wizards, hurry up...

Wait a minute.

No.

Come later, preferably a week later.

Locke blinked his eyes and thought to himself after walking out of the interrogation room.

Catherine went to New Orleans.

Stephanie will return to Washington tomorrow.

Esme, the wife, is still in Hawaii.

There is only Natasha in New York City.

He estimated that starting from today, he would give his waist and kidneys a week off, and they would be fully recovered next week.

So he sincerely hoped that Dolan's wizards would not come so early.

He was not in a hurry.

"Ding Dong."

"Dear Mr. Locke Underwood, the amount of your student loan due tomorrow is..."

"Hiss."

Locke looked at the text message from Stark Bank on his mobile phone and bared his teeth.

He felt that he had just paid off his student loan a few days ago, so how could it be due again so soon.

Fortunately, Debbie joined the National Action Director Assistant Group at the end of last month and sorted out many money-making tips from other state action directors.

Otherwise...

He will ask the Queen for money again this month.

No.

We still have to find some new ways to make money.

But what new ways to make money are there?

I am not an economics major.

Locke put down his phone, muttering in his heart, and walked from the interrogation and detention room to the office area.

Just then.

The sound of the elevator door opening came from the elevator room.

Locke heard the sound, looked up, and looked towards the elevator room.

A burly man walked out of the elevator room.

When Jack saw Locke in the office area, he was stunned at first, and then walked up: "Sir, you haven't got off work yet."
