Meet the father-in-law [Comprehensive]

Hodge also noticed the subtle difference in Ellid's tone, not only that, when they shook hands to greet each other, he also felt the coldness of each other's palms, with an extremely weak tremor.

Does she feel nervous?This is not the emotion a sniper should have.

Thinking of this, the man's gaze lingered on Elide's neck for a moment longer. She was wearing a strange necklace made of a black string made of some composite material, but the pendant of the necklace seemed to be nothing special. The buttons of her suit—this must be something of special significance to her, the buttons have obvious signs of wear and tear, and she must have worn them for many years.

"Thank you for your help just now, Miss Pennyworth, are you from the Bludhaven Police Department?"

"No, my friend is a local police officer, I just showed up at the right time and place-sorry, I'm going to go... look forward to seeing you next time."

After saying goodbye to each other, Elide turned and left the two of them, and her last words seemed a little strange, Hodge couldn't help frowning in his heart.His eyes followed Elide, who walked up to a young man not far away. That was Dick Grayson, a member of the Bludhaven Police Department.Hodge had dealt with him before, he was a lively and enthusiastic young man, tall and strong, with good marksmanship and fighting skills.

Dick looked a bit embarrassed, sweating profusely, and a corner of the police uniform was still exposed.Elide should be familiar with him. When they talked, her posture was very relaxed, which was completely different from the cautious and guarded look before.

In just one or two minutes, Hodge has already made a rough profile for Elide. She is confident, calm, and well-trained. Compared with ordinary people, she still seems a little lacking in emotional response.She looks like a professional soldier, and may even serve in some special departments - but why is her attitude towards him different from others?

"She's really an impressive sniper, isn't she?" Morgan also looked over there, sighing in a drawn out voice.

"Because she didn't pay much attention to you?" Huo Qi curled up his mouth and smiled a little.

"Hodge, you—"

Before Morgan wanted to refute, a familiar voice came from behind them. It was Spencer Reid, a blond genius who looked much younger than his actual age. British Library.

"Hodge, I heard you were injured? Are you okay?"

"A slight injury, I'm fine," Hodge quickly explained, "The doctor didn't even bandage me."

"That's good," Rhett breathed a sigh of relief. Once he relaxed, the "curious" nature of his character emerged, "I heard you talking about the sniper, is that the lady just now?"

"That's right, that pretty girl who looks like a college girl." Morgan added a subtle accent to the word "college girl."

"In fact, according to the data, women are more talented than men in two military jobs: pilots and snipers. The former is because women's ability to withstand acceleration is better than men, and the latter is because women's mental stamina is better than men. Males are stronger, but biological differences between men and women still reduce these advantages. So today, you still hardly see female members in such as 'Green Berets' or 'Navy Seals.' However, the US military has canceled With all the gender-based restrictions on military service, nearly 22 jobs will be open to women—”

When he noticed that both Hodge and Morgan were looking at him with a silently reproachful look, Reid let out a "hmm" and shut his mouth knowingly.

"Go and see how Emily and Rossi are doing, there will be a press conference later!"

Hodge said and patted Rhett on the shoulder. Before leaving with the other two, he suddenly turned his head and looked in Elide's direction.

The young woman had already looked away, but Hodge was 100% sure that the gaze that rested on him just now was Elied's.

-Virginia Quantico bau office-

"Knock knock knock".

Hearing a rhythmic knock on the door, Hodge, who was buried in the file, looked up at the door: it was David Rossi.

He is an experienced criminal psychoanalyst, best-selling author, and one of the founders of the bau division, well respected within the group.

"What do you want from me?" Rossi said as she walked into the office, pulled away the chair in front of Hodge's desk, adjusted her posture after sitting down, and leaned comfortably on the back of the chair, "I warn you, it's rare I don't want bad news from you on a Wednesday without a case."

"Don't be nervous, David, it's not a case," Hodge laughed softly, his face darkened quickly, and he handed a file in hand to Rossi, "Let's take a look at this first."

Rossi raised his eyebrows, reached for the file, and as soon as he opened it, he frowned: "Isn't this...?"

"That's right, we met her in Bludhaven three days ago, that sniper, Elied Pennyworth."

"Did she get into any trouble?" Rossi couldn't help being curious.

Hodge didn't answer Rossi immediately, but got up and walked slowly to the window, and after pondering for a moment, he turned around: "Theoretically speaking, this is our new intern at bau."

"Considering the number of our current team members, it doesn't matter to find an intern, anyway, it's better than nothing! However," Rossi looked up at Hodge, narrowing his eyes slightly, with a bit of sharpness in his eyes, "What is 'theoretically? '?"

"Tell me first, what do you think of this resume?"

"...Graduated from the FBI Academy with excellent grades, participated in all the courses required to apply for the BAU internship position, and some elective courses related to our work; no matter the physical examination or psychological assessment, all meet the requirements; no work experience... Quite A decent application." Rossi said, throwing the file back on the table, "but that's not what you want me to say, is it?"

"She served two years in the military, served in the U.S. Navy from 2012 to 2014, a support role in the first-line force, overseas experience - think about her performance in Bludhaven. Trust me, Hodge, I I've seen the short-term servicemen, and I've seen the rookies fresh out of the academy, and they don't act like Elide. Clearly, there's something wrong with her resume."

"Then here comes the problem. Such a 'problematic' application can still appear on the table of the bau team leader. Our Miss Yi Lide seems to have some extraordinary relationships available!"

"I got a hint, David," Hodge said, bending over and tapping on the file, "this is 'compensation given by the government', and this application was passed for no reason during the transfer process." A division run by Amanda Waller."

"Amanda Waller? You mean that Amanda Waller?" Rosie couldn't help repeating the name, looking shocked.

"That's right, although I don't want to admit it, but... we can't refuse her."

"Oh, you can't think like that, Hodge, we have to learn to look at everything in a positive light," Rossi suddenly burst into a smile that was too bright, and for his age, this smile really seemed It was a bit secretive, "At least, our intern is strong and proven."

"Also, I've heard that this young lady treats you very kindly! A little girl who is not afraid of your face, I am willing to give her a place just because of this."
