Malik Dental Clinic.
In a black Dodge car.
Black Paul sat in the driver's seat, leaning back, "I still prefer our big Ford."
Luke reclined in his seat and said, "Peter has seen us in that car before, it's easy for him to get suspicious."
Black Paul glanced towards the dental clinic, "Are you planning to just keep watching like this?"
"Do you have a better idea?"
"Why don't we just apply for a search warrant?"
"On what grounds? Just because he removed his dashcam? It's his right and not illegal. The judge definitely won't sign a search warrant."
"Ring ring ring..."
A burst of cell phone ringing sounded.
"Hello."
Matthew's voice ca through the phone, "Guys, I've dug up so info on Peter, is now a good ti to talk?"
"Go ahead," Luke activated the speakerphone.
Matthew continued, "Peter hasn't had any car insurance claims recently. However, I found out he withdrew three thousand US dollars in cash this morning."
Black Paul said, "This guy's rich, isn't it pretty normal for him to withdraw three thousand dollars? I occasionally withdraw that amount too."
Matthew said, "I've checked Peter's bank account, and he mostly uses credit cards and electronic paynts, rarely cash."
Luke said, "A person who isn't accustod to using cash suddenly withdrawing it likely doesn't want the purpose of the money traced. It shows that Peter probably has plans.
This is good news, Matthew. Any other leads?"
"How should I put it? I'm not sure if this counts as a clue, but in investigating Peter's financial status, I found out he transfers at least twenty thousand US dollars to Courtney every month."
Marcus grinned widely, "Wow, that girl is going to bleed him dry. Why do so many people enjoy playing the Green Arrow?"
"Matthew, the information you found is very useful, thanks." Luke hung up the phone.
Marcus said, "You know what? I sotis envy Matthew, no fieldwork, no worry about getting shot, just sitting there and getting the job done."
"When you envy soone, others are envying you. Sitting all day isn't all that great. If it were you, you probably couldn't last two days."
"Maybe," said Black Paul, spreading his hands, "What do you think Peter withdrew the money for? What can three thousand dollars do?"
"I don't know, after all, I'm not the Green Arrow; it's hard to figure out what they are thinking."
For the next while, the two n kept watch over the dental clinic. Since Matthew ntioned that the other party had withdrawn cash today, it indicated that there might be so activity after work.
Luke hadn't done long stakeouts in a long ti, and how should he put it?
It was indeed boring.
"Ring ring ring..."
A bout of cellphone ringing sounded.
Luke saw it was his little chubby brother's mobile number; he must have finished school.
"Hello..."
"Hey dear bro, are you busy right now?" ca the caring voice of his little chubby brother from the phone.
"Not too bad, what's up? Just speak directly."
"Have you been very busy lately? You haven't co ho in a while, and mom talks about you all the ti."
"I've been sowhat busy, you know how it is, all work-related stuff."
"I just wanted to remind you not to overdo it and not to put too much pressure on yourself."
"Where are you?" Luke felt sothing was off. His little chubby brother rarely called him, and even if he did, he wouldn't talk this way.
Could it be, he's in danger?
"I'm at the milk tea shop in the community plaza, hanging out with the charming Maggie, the happiest mont of my day. I'm definitely the luckiest guy in LA."
"Anything else?" Luke thought he was worried for nothing as his little brother was just flaunting his love life.
"Ah… I almost forgot the real business. I wanted to ask you about sothing."
"Go on."
"I've been thinking about buying a bike recently, but I don't know much and wanted to ask you which brand is good. You've bought two bikes, so you should be able to give so sound advice."
"Didn't Dad get you a bike for Christmas a couple of years ago?"
"Right, but now I want to buy a mountain bike, with wider tires, better stability, and shock absorption, you know, every boy hopes to have a super cool mountain bike just like your Harley."
"Got it, I'll do so research when I have ti and let you know."
"OK then, I won't disturb your work. Rember to visit ho when you've got so ti, both and mom miss you."
Luke hung up the phone, muttering, "Annoying little chubby."
Black Paul showed an envious look, "You guys have a really good brotherly bond."
"You were eavesdropping again."
"I wasn't eavesdropping, just have good ears. I can tell your brother respects you a lot, even calls specifically to ask for your opinion.
I envy that kind of brotherly relationship."
Luke smiled, "He's just about to have a birthday."
Black Paul "..."
Luke was now quite wealthy and didn't mind buying a nice birthday gift for his little brother.
Drizzling...
...
An hour later.
The dental clinic closed for the day.
Luke lay back in the chair, "Follow him, be careful not to let him notice."
"Don't worry, they call Black Paul, no one knows cars better than ."
Luke shook his head, the guy full of hot air.
The two n followed for a while and noticed that Peter was not heading ho.
Luke called David to bring people over for support.
Peter parked his car in front of a detective agency, looked around, and then entered the detective agency.
