Chapter 246 Mr. Billy’s Little Tails

Luke’s eyes immediately zeroed in on the makeshift tablet in Selina’s hand. On screen, Billy was slipping out the back door in a hooded shirt with a bag on his back.
Luke smiled the moment he saw Billy. “He can’t be up to anything good dressed like that.”
Selina said, “Hoodies are common, alright? How can you be sure that he’s up to something?”
Luke hesitated and said, “Well, do you usually lower your head to cover your face when you’re doing a good deed?”
Selina said, “…That makes sense.”
Luckily, Luke got away with that explanation without revealing his own vigilante clothing habits!
They followed Billy some way behind him, and made sure that they were on the right track.
A moment later, Billy led them to… the school.
What was his plan?
School was suspended, and there were only guards on campus now.
Frowning for a moment, Luke suddenly thought of something. “Do we have Headmaster Sibury’s number?”
Selina said, “Yes, I have his card.”
Luke said, “Call him and ask him if anyone else is at school.”
After the headmaster picked up the phone, Selina said, “Huh? No students and no teachers? Oh, thank you…”
Luke suddenly interjected, “Mr. Sibury, are you still at school?”
Sibury answered over the phone, “Yes, I’m just about done with work at school, and I’m on my way out.”
Luke and Selina looked at each other, before Luke quickly got out and ran toward the school.
Selina said, “Are you still in your office? We’d like to consult you on something. Oh, okay. We’ll be there soon.”
Hanging up the phone, Selina shouted, “He’s in his office!”
Luke waved his hand in acknowledgement as he rushed inside.
The school guard yelled, “Hey, what are you doing?”
Selina had run up by then, and she stopped the guard and showed him her temporary ID card. “I’m sorry. That’s my cousin. He needs to ask Headmaster Sibury something, but Headmaster Sibury said that he was leaving, so my cousin was anxious. I’m sorry.”
The guard’s anger dissipated at the pretty girl’s explanation; it had been a long time since a smile like that had been directed toward him.
Luke didn’t run at full speed, because it was unnecessary.
Billy had only just entered the school. He couldn’t go through the front doors or anywhere else that was covered by the surveillance cameras, so he couldn’t be faster than Luke.
Luke rushed to the fifth floor a moment later without hiding the sound of his footsteps. He entered the headmaster’s office without knocking. “Mr. Sibury, are you in there?”
As he spoke, he looked around the room and activated Sharp Nose.
Sibury wasn’t here, and Luke detected Billy’s scent downstairs.
The guy was probably looking for a way to climb the building.
Thinking for a bit, Luke called out even louder, “Mr. Sibury, are you here? There’s something that my cousin and I need to talk to you about.”
Billy immediately stopped moving when he heard Luke’s voice in the headmaster’s office.
There were two other people in the office? Billy hesitated, and then left, disappearing into the woods outside the building.
He didn’t notice Luke angle a mirror on one side of the window to watch him leave.
Suddenly, someone opened a door. “Ah, you’re the kid from Polk’s family, right?”
Luke quickly withdrew the mirror and smiled. “Yes, I’m Luke. Are you getting off work, Mr. Sibury? Let’s talk while we walk. You know, this suspension might affect our future arrangements, so we wanted to ask you for your opinion.”
Sibury was slightly puzzled, but it was true that he was heading out; he had only gone to the bathroom just then.
Hearing what Luke said, he picked up his suitcase and said, “That is an unfortunate coincidence, and I can’t do anything about it.”
After all, they were Polk’s family, and he couldn’t just say that he only worked office hours.
They met Selina on the way, and chatted together as they left the building.
In the end, they watched Sibury get into his car, and followed him to make sure he got home, before they finally turned around and drove to Stu’s house for the party tonight.
Selina asked on the way, “Did Billy really go after Sibury?”
Luke said, “He was right outside the building when I arrived, and Sibury was the only person inside. He didn’t slip away until I called for Sibury out loud.”
Selina suddenly hesitated. “But since we’re here, we can’t just watch and let them kill anyone else, can we? How are we going to link them to the previous cases?”
Luke shrugged. “We can help the victims.”
Selina was blank. “Huh?”
Luke said, “For example, we can give them a taser in case of danger. How those two young men are injured after that isn’t our problem.”
Selina was speechless. “We can do that?” She had never done anything like that when she worked with Donald before.
In fact, neither had Luke.
Most of the time, he stealthily took care of the criminals himself without getting the victims involved at all.
As they talked, they soon reached Stu’s house.
Like most high school parties, the house was crowded with teenagers who were laughing and dancing
As the host, Stu was wandering the house in crimson pajamas.
Selina snorted. “Is that guy really Billy’s accomplice?”
Billy looked intimidating but could still be described as handsome. Stu, on the other hand, really did seem to be a brainless idiot.
Luke chuckled. “I think he’s as crazy as he looks.”
They hid in the woods some distance away from the house. Selina kept an eye on the surveillance cameras, and Luke observed the surroundings.When it turned completely dark, Luke suddenly said, “Someone’s here.”
An old Ford showed up and drove past them on the road and into the woods some thirty meters away.
The spot that Luke and Selina were hiding in was quite dense, and it was impossible to see the car amidst the trees and bushes.
So, the driver of the car didn’t notice Luke or Selina.
Luke smelled someone familiar through the car’s half-open window.
He gestured at Selina to stay quiet, before he slipped out of their car.
He reached the unfamiliar vehicle in less than ten seconds.
Looking at the two people in front of him, Luke grinned and said to himself, “Gotcha, Billy!” He raised the camera that he was holding
