A Bicycle Is the Most Practical

The next day, Luke and Selina left for work before eight o'clock to avoid the terrifying morning rush in New York.

They walked into the hall and saw two detectives walking out.

The man who was leading the way was called Joe Lambert.

Behind them was a woman with short, curly blond hair called Connie Kowalski.

Luke and Selina stepped aside and said, "Good morning, Joe, Connie."

However, the two detectives stopped, and the middle-aged man stretched out his hand and gave Luke a half-hug. "No need to be polite, we're colleagues now, Luke."

Luke patted his shoulder and said, "Of course, Joe."

Only then did Joe say, "We still have work to do. Let's get a drink after work. How about in two days?"

Luke smiled. "Sure."

The four of them said their goodbyes again.

That was what being a detective was like; there was no time for idle chit-chat.
