Chapter 315 Undercurrent(1/3)
Marriott Hotels.
The hotel is located near famous Washington, D.C. landmarks, with easy access to monuments, the National Mall, museums, and cultural venues such as the National Theater, Convention Center, and National Portrait Gallery.
Luke and others took the airport bus and rushed to the hotel. Two waiters took the initiative to help with the luggage. Luke generously gave each person a tip of US$5. After all, he now represented the entire LAPD.
Luke is not a stingy person, but he rarely gives large tips to service staff. Five dollars is a lot for him.
The main reason is that subconsciously he is not used to the tipping culture.
Luke's own hotel room was booked and paid for by the government, but Luke's family's room expenses were borne by him himself.
Luke's current net worth is nearly $2 million, and these expenses are just a drop in the bucket for him.
Luke himself lives in room 701, and he also booked 4 rooms, 710, 711, 712 and 713.
Grandpa lives in 710, Linda lives in 711, and Little Fatty and Val live in 712.
Luke pulled his suitcase towards room 701 and said to his family, "See you soon."
Linda said, "Luke, after you pack your things, I'm going to visit your room to see the difference between the rooms reserved in the White House and ours."
The little fat man shouted, "Me too."
Although Luke didn't think the room was any different, what could he say, "The door to the room is always open for you." Seeing his uncle's eager expression, Luke added, "Grandpa, uncle, you are also welcome to be our guests.
"
Val said calmly, "Since you invite me so warmly, OK."
"Creak..." There was a sound of the door, and the door opposite Luke opened.
A burly black man came out of Room 702. He was over 1.9 meters tall, which was quite a bit bigger than Luke.
The black man looked Luke up and down, "Luke Lee?"
"When did I become so famous in Washington? Who are you?"
"Fataou Brandi, I'm here to receive the award just like you." The black man stretched out his right hand.
"Are you a policeman too?" Luke also extended his right hand to shake hands with the other party.
"No, I'm a firefighter from the Las Vegas Fire Department."
As he spoke, Fataw Brandi's grip strength increased a bit. It was so strong that it hurt Luke's hand.
Luke felt that the other party was trying to intimidate him, and it was difficult for him to fall out in front of everyone, and he couldn't pull out his right hand.
With a smile on his face, Luke made a fist with his left hand and punched the opponent's heart. It seemed like a friend was saying hello, but the punch was not light and directly knocked the black man Fataw Brandy unconscious.
Although the time was short, it was enough for Luke to withdraw his right hand.
Luke was still smiling, but he was already prepared. The opponent was stronger and had certain advantages, but the most important thing in a fight was skill and ruthlessness.
In terms of fighting bravely and fiercely, firefighters are definitely not as good as the police.
Fataw Brandi swept the back of his right hand across his left chest and said, "We kind of know each other."
"I feel the enthusiasm from Las Vegas again, which is very nostalgic."
"See you later." Fataw Brandi said this and turned around to leave.
Val came over and stared at Fataw Brandi's back, "When did you provoke this chimpanzee? He looks really strong.
I think he could kill a lion."
"Excellence is always envied by others, just get used to it." Luke didn't take it seriously and turned around and entered his room.
Because of the Las Vegas shooting, Luke stole the limelight, but everything has two sides. The better Luke performs and the greater his role, the more incompetent the Las Vegas police will appear.
Firefighters also belong to the concept of "big police". Although they do not belong to the same department, the two parties often go out together to cooperate with each other and can be regarded as their own people.
There are cooperation and conflicts between firefighters and police, but they are in love and fight with each other internally. Once there is an "enemy", they will also cooperate with the outside world.
Most recipients of the Public Safety Medal of Valor are police officers and firefighters.
Luke slapped the Las Vegas police in the face. As a member of the Las Vegas Public Security Department, Fataw Brandi would naturally not be too friendly to Luke. Otherwise, he would not be able to explain anything when he returned.
If he and Luke were fighting each other in Washington and returned to Las Vegas to go out with the police, it would be surprising that the Las Vegas police officers would give him a good look.
However, if you don’t like to express your attitude directly, you don’t have to worry about the other party playing dirty tricks.
…
Luke tidied up briefly, and then the little fat man, Val, Linda, and Robert came to visit the room.
After some comparison, they all agreed that Luke's room was better, mainly reflected in two points. First, Luke's room contained a letter of greetings from the White House, and a piece of black chocolate - which was eaten by the little fat man.
In addition, Luke's room is a side room with a balcony, and you can see the White House from the balcony.
The little fat man wanted to move into Luke's room, but Luke sternly refused. His room was a double bed room, and he didn't want to sleep on the same bed as the little fat man.
The little fat man and Val lived in a double room with two beds, which was more suitable.
After chatting for a while, the family went to the cafeteria downstairs to eat.
The dishes are quite rich, with enough salmon, beef and mutton, prawns and oysters.
The family was eating and chatting, and Val and the little fat man would inevitably quarrel when they got together. Luke was already used to it.
After dinner, free time.
Luke went to the open-air bar on the top floor of the hotel.
Different from other bars, this bar is very warmly decorated. There are not many people in the bar, and you can only enter and consume with a room card.
Luke walked to the bar, and the bartender in a black vest asked, "Sir, what would you like to drink?"
Luke took a look at the drink list and found that there were also national liquors, Moutai and Wuliangye. From this, we can see the influence of China's wealthy people. "A cup of Wuliangye."
Although Maotai is good, Luke doesn't like the sauce flavor.
"Sir, your wine will be charged to the room card bill."
"Thank you." Luke took a sip and it tasted like that.
Wine is a good thing. Luke plans to buy some good wine and save it when he has time in the future.
"Hi, Luke, we meet again." A woman's voice sounded next to her.
Luke turned to look and saw that it was Laura, a Latina beauty. She was wearing a long black dress, with a curved front and a curved waist, which was very sexy.
“Laura, are you staying in this hotel too?”
"Yes, the company booked a room for me. I originally wanted a high-rise room, but they only booked a room on the fourth floor for me." Laura complained, sat next to Luke, and leaned forward,
The murder weapon was very dazzling.
"What is your job?"
"Financial industry. What about you?"
"police."
Luke looked at the other person carefully, it was really eye-catching... If you dare to wear it, I dare to look at it.
Laura seemed to have noticed Luke's gaze, but she didn't pay too much attention to it, and asked generously, "Want to buy me a drink?"
"Of course...but not today."
"I was rejected?" Laura looked disappointed.
"No, I really want to buy you a drink, but I have an appointment today."
"real?"
"Yes, he didn't lie to you." A Latina beauty with outstanding appearance, temperament, and figure walked slowly between the two of them.
Luke introduced, "Orti, this is Laura, we came on the same plane."
Laura looked at Orti carefully, with a little embarrassment on her face, "I won't disturb you anymore, see you another day."
Orti sat on the other side of Luke and looked at Laura's back, "I'm not disturbing you, are you?"
"No, you came just in time."
"She looks pretty good and seems to be interested in you. Most men would be attracted to her. Do you really have no idea?"
Luke looked at Orti and said, "I have someone more worthy of my heart."
Orti looked sideways at Luke, his eyebrows slightly raised, "Are you flirting with me?"
Luke asked, "Any chance?"
Orti smiled and raised his hands, "I surrender, let's talk about business."
"Want something to drink? I'll treat you."
"An apple martini, thank you." Orti said to the bartender, then turned to look at Luke, "What are your plans for tomorrow?"
"Aren't you going to be my guide? You have the final say."
"Didn't you come with your family?"
"I can do it alone."
