Chapter 615 Idle Harrison and Not-so-idle Morning

At that moment, the light turned green, and Luke started the car again.

Harrison’s car was a little slower, and Luke drove past.

He didn’t plan on calling out to Harrison; there was no need. He simply gave Harrison a glance on the left side of his car.

The light had turned red on the other street at the intersection, and out of the corner of his eye, Luke saw a large prisoner van slowly pull over. Not far behind the prisoner van, two officers got out of a police car and walked toward the van. A police car stopping a prisoner van? Luke was slightly amused.

Was it unusual? A little bit.

Was this something that would never happen? Not at

all.

Even SWAT and precinct departments would almost get into fights sometimes, although not very frequently.

Turning back to look at the road in front of him, Luke frowned.

With 26 Mental Strength, his brain was quicker than ever, and thanks to a boost from Strength and Dexterity, his eyesight and dynamic vision were also amazing

From his fleeting glance, he had sensed that something wasn’t right, and he paid slightly more attention to the police car that stopped the prisoner van. Upon closer scrutiny, the anomalies in the two officers instantly became clear. There was also a black SUV behind the police car. Four men got out, and something was very wrong with the way they were moving. Why? Because they looked like criminals who were about to take out their guns.

After being a police officer in L.A. for so long, it was impossible for Luke to not become sensitive to that posture. At that moment, Luke had already driven dozens of meters past the intersection.

He suddenly turned the wheel. As he pulled over, he said, “There’s a situation. The two officers and the four men from the black SUV over at the prisoner van may be criminals.” Selina understood in a flash and promptly opened the weapons compartment in the middle, taking out the huge bag that was inside. Luke’s car had stopped on the side of the road by then, and they opened the car doors at the same time and got out. Selina threw a bulletproof vest at Luke while she quickly put one on herself.

She didn’t toss him a rifle; for a handful of criminals, a rifle would be pure overkill.

After putting on the bulletproof vest, she fell back slightly behind Luke. By staggering their positions, they had more chances to adjust their actions as necessary. Luke ran quickly. Selina picked up a M4A1 and hung her badge around her neck before she followed him. Cars were driving past through the green light, so she was delayed by several seconds. Finally, she got impatient and slid across the hood of a moving car to cross the road. The astonished driver watched Selina run off and remarked in a daze, “Wow, that officer is hot! Ow! What are you doing?” In the passenger seat, his girlfriend roared furiously, “Why are you looking at her ass? I have one too!”

The man subconsciously averted his gaze. “I’m not. I was looking at her gun; I’m a fan of guns.” His girlfriend said disdainfully, “Cut it out; is her gun on her ass?” At that moment, a burst of noise disrupted the couple’s quarrel. Stunned, they turned to look at the intersection up ahead.

The gun enthusiast mumbled, “Are those... gunshots? Let’s get out of here!”

The moment Luke sensed something was wrong at the intersection, the two criminals in the guise of officers reached the prisoner van.

When he stopped the car and put on his bulletproof vest, the two criminals in police uniforms took out their guns and shot the driver and the escorts in the prisoner van.

By the time Luke ran back to the intersection, the two criminals had already opened the doors and were escorting a man in an orange prison jumpsuit out. Luke didn’t say anything. Putting on his badge, he took out his Glock as he quickly approached them.

The prisoner van was more than thirty meters away from the intersection with many distracting cars and pedestrians in the middle. That was also why Luke didn’t sense anything wrong sooner. But even at that moment, he was still only running at the speed of an ordinary person.

At the same time, two men on his left were approaching the criminals as well. They were Harrison and his subordinate. Luke knew the subordinate too. It was Jim, the SWAT member whose burger delivery task Luke had stolen.

At that moment, Luke was still behind them.

He had driven past the intersection, but their car just happened to be in the middle of the intersection when they heard the gunshots. As SWAT members, they were just as sensitive to gunshots. They immediately stopped the car and beat Luke to the criminals.

Finally, Harrison shouted, “LAPD! Freeze!” He and Jim fired at practically the same moment. That was SWAT’s standard procedure. After all, they had already warned the enemy. If the other party still refused to drop their guns and surrender, they deserved to die.

Harrison, who was already ready for action, hit one of the armed criminals almost the moment they turned around.

Harrison had only just run over before he fired at the moving criminals. He also had to take the pedestrians into consideration, and the target was more than ten meters away; for him to take one person down instantly, his marksmanship was extraordinary.

Most police officers would need time to adjust and aim at a criminal ten meters away. Stopping abruptly to shoot at a target was like stopping to do a jump shot in basketball. It was a specific skill.

Luke also saw clearly that while Jim had missed his own target, it was only because the criminal happened to move to the side just as the shot was fired, and he was lucky enough to avoid it. After they opened fire, the criminals in front of them also stopped pretending. The four criminals from the black SUV took out two Uzis and two MP5s from under their loose black shirts.

Both Harrison and Jim took cover behind the cars on the side of the road.

Those were all fully automatic weapons with fierce firepower. Pa! Pa! Pa!

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

Gunshots rang out, but they weren’t as intense as Harrison and Jim had expected. Also... Why was there gunfire coming from their right up ahead and behind them?

Backs sweating, one looked to the right and the other behind them.

Harrison just happened to meet Luke’s eyes as the latter turned his head, and Luke gestured in front of him.

Jim looked behind him, only to see Selina lowering her M4A1 after firing it. As she bent forward, the police badge hanging over her chest was very obvious.

What the hell? The words popped into Harrison and Jim’s heads.

Luke had signaled to Harrison that everything was over and that they should go forward and check the situation.

Indeed, the five criminals had all been killed without managing to fire off a single bullet.

Luke took down the person who escaped Jim’s bullet as well as two criminals in black on his side.

The two on the left side of the road happened to pass by a pickup when Luke opened fire, and so escaped his line of sight. Acting in concert with Luke, Selina had directly moved to the left side of the intersection to cover all blind spots. When Luke opened fire and distracted them, she fired decisively and took down the two men on the left.

Recognizing Luke and Selina, Harrison was reassured. He craned his neck for a look before he got to his feet and swiftly pressed forward with his gun.
