p>Darcy happily took the camera, and her mouth dropped open the moment she flipped through the photos.
“WT… ugh.”

She swallowed the last word.
After all, Luke had helped her out of kindness.

Although apart from the clothes, she felt that the person in the photos wasn’t her at all.

Luke had long expected this, so he turned a deaf ear to the exclamation behind him.
He walked over to Dr.
Jane and said, “If you want to see this thing, you better hurry up.
This place will be locked down very soon.”

Jane looked at him.
“Locked down?”

Luke shrugged.
“You all know that a strange hammer fell here; do you think that certain agencies wouldn’t? They’re in the middle of making a decision, and it takes time to go through the procedure, but as long as they give the order, the people who’ll carry it out will be quick.”

As he spoke, there was a droning sound in the distance.

The two black dots in the sky were easy to spot on a sunny day.
They were helicopters.

In a few minutes, the two helicopters arrived and landed on the flat ground at the edge of the pit.
The FBI logo was clearly visible on the helicopters, and the people who got out were wearing FBI uniforms.

Looking at the four people next to him, Luke spread his hands.
“See? Like I said, they’ll get here very quickly.”

Also, I was the one who asked them to come, he added inwardly.

A moment later, everybody was politely but firmly driven out of the pit and down the hill.

The group of Texan men cursed, but none of them really fought the men in black suits.

After half a day, everybody was almost done playing, and nobody could take that thing out, anyway.

It was already dusk.
Everybody beat it, going back to shovel cow dung, pull out weeds or farm.

Seeing Jane and Selvig whispering to each other next to their jeep, Luke asked, “Is there a problem?”

Selvig hesitated and didn’t say anything.

But Jane said, “Here’s the thing: We want to stay here for two days and do some research.
Do you know of any hotels in town?”

Luke shook his head.
“I’m sorry, but there’s only one motel in town.
The boss recently went on vacation with his daughter.
He won’t be back for a few days.”

Selvig couldn’t help but say to Jane, “We can’t sleep out in the wilderness, right?”

He was giving Jane some face in front of Luke, but in fact, he wanted to say, “If we don’t leave now, when will we?”

Luke, however, added with a smile, “If you don’t mind the noise, you can rest there for a bit before you decide.”

They looked in the direction he was pointing at, and saw a row of makeshift units next to a construction site not far away.
There were six of them, and the units were white with blue edges.

Vivacious Darcy couldn’t help but ask, “Does that belong to the construction site?”

Luke nodded.
“Yes, this is my grandpa’s ranch.”

Everybody: “…”

They immediately remembered that Luke had said that the ranch was building a new cowshed.

The ranch belonged to Luke’s grandfather, and the workers naturally worked for his grandfather.
So, Luke could also be considered a part owner?

Jane nodded decisively.
“Okay, let’s take a break.”

She needed a buffer of time to convince Dr.
Selvig to stay; Thor knew mysteries to astronomy which she couldn’t let go of at all.

It definitely wasn’t because she couldn’t let go of this tall and handsome blond man.

Definitely not!
