The Legendary Life of an American Superhero

the next day.

Lake came to the New York State Branch of the Department of Homeland Security on the Roosevelt Expressway, near Jefferson Park, across the Hudson River and across from the Manhattan mental hospital.

The New York State branch is a twenty-story building with white walls.

The first to tenth floors are the offices of the operational agents.

From the eleventh floor to the fifteenth floor is the office area of ​​the internal agents.

The fifteenth floor to the twentieth floor are the floors where the supervisors dispatched by the various assistance agencies and Lake are located.

Lake's office is on the sixteenth floor.

Deputy Head of Operations.

but……

Although the Department of Homeland Security has been established, the Department of Homeland Security is not needed for small cases. For some larger cases, the FBI in New York can solve it by itself.

And, even if there are fish that slip through the net, David Bass, director of operations, takes care of them.

Lake was happy to relax.

David Bass is also very satisfied with this. After all, he likes to handle cases, and Lake rarely intervenes in actions. Therefore, these three months, the two have gotten along very well.

even……

The other night, David Bass was going to invite Lake to dinner with his wife and two children in their new home that had just moved.

Lake's office is not big. Like David's office next door, it has a work area and a leisure area.

However, there is a wine cabinet in Lake's office, which is filled with a variety of bourbon wines. This is Lake's collection for many years. Each bourbon wine is a different brand, from top to bottom according to the price. line up.

Enter the house.

Pour wine.

Turn on the computer.

Lake finished in one go, and drank his first bourbon in the morning. Lake sighed, this is the ideal part-time job in his mind.

Less work, more pay, and more leisure time.

This……

It's a part-time job.

Every time Lake thinks about it, he thinks that he has spent a few years in the NYPD. Compared with here, the part-time job in the NYPD is a nightmare.

Living a part-time job almost turned it into a main business.

The more I think about it, the more unscientific it becomes.

Lake shook his head, logged into the intranet that connected all the databases of the Federation, and put the name Victoria Knowles on it.

soon.

Pages of information were selected.

There are Langley's.

There is the FBI.

and also……

BATF?

What the hell, why does the Bureau of Tobacco, Alcohol, Guns, and Explosives, which can't even hit a pole, have information?

Lake blinked, opened the first document, touched his chin and read it slowly.

This information from Langley is similar to what Liszt gave him last night, an arms dealer who is famous for his beautiful appearance, but there are a few lines of words on Agent Langley's comment.

Don't be fooled by her beauty, she will kill you with her beauty.

Oh man.

Lake sneered, beauty never kills people, but some men can't walk when they see beautiful women, so they are played by beautiful women in their palms.

look at me.

I will never be confused by beauty, dare to offend my bottom line, whether you are a beauty or not, kill it first.

Lake thought so in his heart, and then opened the information of several other agencies and looked at them. They were basically the same. related to the warehouse bombing.

"Hello, Tiffany."

"Sir."

"Help me get a file from the Bureau of Tobacco, Alcohol, Firearms and Explosives, number 199802050142."

"Okay, is there anything else, sir."

"No, thank you."

"You're welcome, sir."

Lake hung up the call with his assistant. Although he was the assistant director of operations, he also had his own assistant. At the time of the selection, Lake saw that Tiffany graduated from Yale like him, so he chose Tiffany. .

At Commonwealth, alumni help is important.

This is also the reason why Lake chose to go to Yale, the alumni society, can't just ask others to help him, and he doesn't help others.

After a while.

Graduated from the Yale Law Department, ready to work while preparing for the exam, wearing a pair of glasses, Tiffany's appearance is not perfect, but it is very attractive, Tiffany knocked on the door and walked in: "Sir, tobacco, alcohol, guns and The Explosives Authority agreed, and the dossier will arrive tomorrow morning."

Lake nodded, then asked curiously, "What about Director Bass?"

Tiffany said, "Director Bass has a meeting at the federal building, and there's a joint operation."

Lake nodded.

Seeing that Lake had nothing else to do, Tiffany turned and left the office.

The phone rings.

Lake opened the flip, glanced at the caller ID, smiled, and connected: "Morning, George."

The caller was an old buddy of the NYPD, George Stacy.

George said excitedly on the phone: "Hahaha, Lake, come to Per's restaurant on this side of Columbus Circle in the evening, I will treat you."

Lake smiled and said, "A happy event?"

per restaurant.

It was a high-end restaurant. Although George could afford it with his salary, George had a large family to support, so he basically only went to this restaurant if he was happy.

"Gwen got an A-level scholarship from Midtown College," George said.

Lake raised his eyebrows: "Wow, congratulations, man, that's great, it's worth celebrating."

A-level scholarship.

The A-level scholarship of Midtown College includes full tuition waiver and a living allowance of up to $12,000 per year.

This is what is called going to school to make money.

It is unimaginable for the federation to give preferential treatment to academic bullies, especially for outstanding academic bullies. If you are a scholar bully from childhood to adulthood, you can get A-level scholarships in primary schools, junior high schools, colleges and universities. It is conservatively estimated that in your university After graduating, not only will you not spend a penny, but you will have more than $100,000 in savings.

George Stacy's Gwen is such a typical example. If Gwen can maintain an A-level scholarship in college, then she will become the first Grand Slam winner in federal history.

Lake had fantasies too when he was a kid.

pity.

If he has an idea but no strength, if there is a way to get a scholarship, Lake will not choose to go to the military for free.

afternoon.

Lake got off work early and drove to the Hamilton Watch Store in Midtown Manhattan, where he chose a moderately priced, not too expensive, not too cheap women's watch to give Gwen as a gift for dinner at night.

Wait a while.

Lake thanked the clerk who was packing the gift box and drove away.

Columbus Circle.

per restaurant.

Lake parked the car, and when he followed the attendant in, the George family had already arrived, along with the second group of Becketts.

"Uncle Lake."

"Gwen."

Lake greeted the others, and then handed over the gift box in his hand: "Congratulations, you have completed a scholarship such as college A, and you are only one college away. You can consider Yale."
