The extraordinary life of a certain American comic.

Chapter 194 Locke's first overtime
Since graduation and joining the Sentinel Secret Service, tonight is the first time in all these years that Locke did not choose to go home but stayed to work overtime.

And he took the initiative to ask to stay and work overtime.

Do not ask.

Married men understand.

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

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

The latter's words gave Locke a shock.

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.

Facing Natasha's gaze, Locke's waist and kidneys once again launched a final and resolute protest.

If you keep going like this, we're really going on strike.

At that moment, his mind was working at the speed of light.

soon.

Locke sighed and said that he couldn't leave tonight.

"what?"

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

"...Prison break, they don't dare to do this."

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

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

"No."

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

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

that's it.

Natasha left Sentinel Secret Service in the afternoon.

Locke was also able to protect his kidneys and waist.

Blame it on Catherine.

In a word.

It was her fault for squeezing him too hard.

Locke put the blame on Catherine without hesitation, not thinking that it was because he had too many lovers.

at this time.

The phone on the coffee table rang again.

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

connected.

"Stephen."

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

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

Locke thought about it, then apologized and said, "I have something to do at the bureau tonight, and I'm working overtime at the bureau, so I won't be back at night."

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

"Overtime, do you need to work overtime too? But I have to go back tomorrow."

"That's great."

Locke said 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 go back to Washington to find you?"

"really?"

"When did I lie to you?"

"OK then."

Stephanie then gave up, and after having a private conversation with Locke for a while, she reluctantly hung up the phone.

After Locke hung up the phone, he breathed a sigh of relief again.

He suddenly discovered something.

No wonder married men are not so 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 pushed the door open and walked in with a shoulder bag and a pizza box in her hand.

"Boss, your pizza is here."

"it is good."

Locke stood up and took the pizza from Debbie: "It's so late, you and Emilia should go back too."

Debbie smiled and said, "Let's go now."

Locke smiled slightly: "Be careful."

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

If people from Dolan's organization really come, Jack and Debbie will be unable to help in a battle of this level.

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

Emilia also put on her shoulder bag and nodded.

soon.

The entire forty-four floors were brightly lit, but empty.

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

As soon as we entered the interrogation and detention room area, we heard the sound of chains colliding coming from the room where Card was imprisoned.

At this moment, Carde was still trying his best to break free from the chains that were handcuffed to his limbs.

The chain hit the floor, sending sparks flying.

"Don't bother."

Locke walked over with one hand in his pocket and a pizza in the other, watching the scene: "If we really let you break free, we can close down the Sentinel Secret Service."

Calder looked at Locke who was approaching, stopped struggling, and looked at Locke expressionlessly: "We are not hostile."

Locke was immediately delighted when he heard this.

"How do you know we are not enemies?"

"We are all doing the same thing, keeping the world safe and protecting humanity from the dangers of supernatural creatures." "You think so?"

Locke pushed the pizza box directly to Card's feet, then looked at Card and said, "What qualifications do you have to do this? If I remember correctly, the New York Police Department protects New York City, the FBI and our Sentinelese Secret Service protect the Federation, and S.H.I.E.L.D. protects the world. It seems that your Dolan Church is not among them."

Speaking of it.

Locke couldn't help but shook his head: "You are right, we are not enemies, we are enemies of life and death."

Seizing human rights and authority is no different from killing one's parents.

Just look at how hard it was for the Sentinelese Secret Service to snatch the cake from S.H.I.E.L.D.

If Nick Fury didn't have a dirty background, their Sentinelese would only have the authority to deal with one mutant.

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

but……

Hill is just taking a more gentle approach, even if he has to give up the jurisdiction over the entire New York State's supernatural creatures. But right now, hasn't the Sentinelese chosen to take joint action with SHIELD on the supernatural creatures business in New York State?

It seems that he has given in, but in fact he has not, and he can even make real profits while passing the blame on to others.

There is no way. The Sentinelese Special Service has very little information about the supernatural world, and SHIELD is even more powerful than a lean camel. If they want to complete the integration of supernatural creatures in New York State in the shortest time possible, they still need to rely on SHIELD's information and even personnel help.

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

And what about Dolan Church?

Good guy.

They were fighting with SHIELD, but a wild illegal organization was quietly trying to manage the entire wizard community right under their noses.

are you crazy.

This shows that they completely disregard him and SHIELD.

Therefore, Locke and Hill have the same attitude towards such wild illegal organizations.

Just seconds after showing up.

He wrote a report, Hill approved it, and then expedited the submission of the execution list.

When Carde heard Locke's words, his face changed and he seemed to want to say something.

But Locke didn't come here to listen to Carde's nonsense about how they were not enemies but allies of him.

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

"You can't lock me up."

"Try it."

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."

Say it.

He turned around and walked away without looking back, ignoring Carde's words behind him asking him to wait a moment.

learn from mistakes.

The same moves had no effect when used on him.

Wizards of Dolan, hurry up...

Wait a moment.

wrong.

Come later, preferably a week later.

After Locke walked out of the interrogation holding room, he blinked and thought to himself.

Katherine went to New Orleans.

Stephanie is returning to Washington tomorrow.

The queen, Esme, is still in Hawaii.

There is only one Natasha in New York City.

He estimated that if he gave his waist and kidneys a week's break starting today, they would be fully recovered by next week.

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

He is not in a hurry.

"Ding dong."

"Dear Mr. Locke Underwood, your student loan payment due tomorrow is..."

"hiss."

Locke looked at the text message from Stark Bank that came to his phone and gritted his teeth.

He felt that he had just paid off his student loan a few days ago, so how come the payment date came 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 action directors in other states.

otherwise……

He has to ask the queen for money again this month.

No.

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

Are there any new ways to make money?

I am not an economics major.

Locke put down his phone, muttering to himself, as he walked from the interrogation and detention room to the office area.

at this time.

The sound of the elevator door opening was heard from the elevator room.

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

A burly man walked out of the elevator.

When Jack saw Locke in the office, he was stunned for a moment, then walked up to him and said, "Sir, you haven't finished get off work yet."

Hearing this, Locke raised his eyebrows and looked at Jack who came out of the elevator: "Didn't you just get off work? Why are you here again?"

Jack scratched his head and smiled sheepishly.

"My things..."

"I lied to you. Jack got off work at five o'clock."

"..."

Jack, who was struggling, was stunned for a moment.

"besides……"

Locke showed an undisguised mocking expression on his face: "You guys disguised yourself as Jack, didn't you do any homework?"

Fake Jack: “…”
