Chapter 202 Promotion, salary increase, urgent case handling
"Agent Bourne, thank you so much this time!"
Father Chelsea took Bourne back to the living room and thanked him repeatedly. However, he asked tentatively with some excitement and doubt:
"Excuse me, but which diocese's candidate for the Son of God are you from? Are you ready for baptism?"
(?·_·)
Seeing Bourne's bewildered expression, Father Chelsea asked in surprise, "You haven't received the notice yet, have you?"
Then he whispered to himself, "This is not surprising. After all, the notice came down less than two days ago."
There's no way around it, and it's no wonder that Bourne is confused.
He also just arrived in New York this afternoon. As soon as he got off the train, he was escorted all the way to the police station building by a HRT (Hostage Rescue Team) guarding the train station.
Instead of going through the employee passage at the main gate, he entered the building through an underground driveway that Bourne had never been to or heard of.
Then, "escorted" by four capable agents, he took an elevator hidden behind the wall and went directly to Deputy Director Lewinster's office.
Here, he was again cordially questioned by the deputy director.
This questioning lasted for three hours and did not end until nine o'clock in the evening.
Before he was about to leave, Deputy Director Lewinster told him three things:
First, Bourne's connections had been directly transferred from Hank's group to Deputy Director Lewinster's direct management. Apart from Deputy Director Lewinster, he could disobey anyone's orders, including the long-absent New York branch chief.
Second, Bourne was promoted directly from a trainee agent to a supervisory special agent (SSA), a three-level promotion. He led a team of his own, and the team members were recruited by Bourne himself, either from the existing personnel of the bureau or from the society, with full cooperation from the bureau.
Third, Bourne's salary jumped six times from GS4 to GS10, which is a salary generally offered to those with a master's degree and a supervisory level. In just one year, Bourne achieved what an ordinary person would have to work for in ten years.
In addition, Byrne also has the power to apply for funding independently.
That is, every time he handled a supernatural case, he could apply for a subsidy from the bureau based on the severity of the case. After verification by the bureau, the reward funds would be given directly to Bourne, and he would have full control over the allocation.
In other words, if a difficult supernatural incident is solved by Bourne alone, the reward will belong entirely to him.
Of course, Bourne was not overwhelmed by the continuous good news. He knew clearly that the bureau had given him great freedom and promised him generous rewards. It was impossible for him to have no demands on him.
However, when it comes to supernatural events, he doesn't have much experience in dealing with them, and is not even as good as the Warrens, who are still ordinary people. He had the help of Nottan in the previous few times, and he has never really fought against those mysterious enemies. This made Bourne not have an intuitive understanding of his own strength.
Not knowing yourself and not knowing the enemy is a big taboo!
Just as Bourne was about to leave the bureau with Hans and Kate and temporarily place them in his own apartment, a phone call made him change his mind.
It was the Warrens.
They had been calling Bourne non-stop for an hour, but because Bourne's phone had been taken away and turned off, they were unable to get through until now.
A very urgent matter.
The Warrens had purchased a "haunted house" in Long Island, New York, which was confirmed to have earthbound spirits, and it was rented out for a long time.
According to the Warrens, there is an evil spirit in the haunted house with a very strong sense of territory.
If someone tries to buy and live in this house for a long time, the evil spirit will think that its territory is being invaded and will tempt the people in the house to do cruel things. In more serious cases, it will drive the earthbound spirits in the house to kill ordinary people.
Therefore, the Warrens have entrusted the house to a local real estate agency for short-term rental. The rent is very low, but the only requirement is that each tenant must not live in the house for more than half a year.
In this way, over the past three years, this house has basically been self-sufficient with the rent, and there have never been any problems, except for occasional complaints that he had seen a tall man in a black leather jacket peeping at him and his girlfriend at night.
The Warrens knew that the image of this earthbound spirit was that of a tall man covered in a black leather jacket.
Things would have continued like this until this evening, when the Warrens received a call from the real estate agency and learned that the house had been rented by a new real estate agent to a middle-aged couple with a daughter for almost half a year.
"My wife has had nightmares every night these days. We thought there was something wrong with the collections, but we didn't expect that when Rowling fell asleep during her nap this afternoon, she saw the license plate clearly and realized that something happened in New York!" Mr. Warren said in annoyance on the phone.
"Mr. Bourne, please take that family out of the house as soon as possible. My husband and I will be responsible for all their losses. As long as their lives can be guaranteed, we would rather keep this haunted house sealed forever!"
There was one thing the couple didn't say, which was that it would be better if Bourne could eliminate the evil spirit in the house.
Of course, Bourne also had this idea. He was worried about where to place Hans and Kate.
The apartment he rented was a simple two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment, but there wasn't enough space for people to live in. As for Hans and Kate, one was a vampire and the other was a violent girl who grew up in the mountains, he didn't feel comfortable letting them find a place to live on their own.
This is like a sleepy man hitting the pillow!
Not only can you see a real earthbound spirit and gain experience, but you can also find a safe place for the two of them to live in (it's originally a haunted house, very few people come here, and the house is large, which is just right for the two of them to live in). Why not do it?
However, just before departure, a small problem occurred.
It was 9:30 in the evening, and the traffic was very busy. It would take at least an hour to get from Queens to Long Island. Normally, saving lives was like putting out a fire, so Bourne should set out immediately. However, he really wanted to go back to the apartment to take the doll Notan with him. However, this would take too long. It would take another hour to go back and forth, and by then the bodies of the tenant couple would probably be cold.
At this moment, the vampire Hans stood up and offered to share the worries of his master Bourne. He said that when he and Kate were in Washington, they were taught the basic common sense of modern life by those people in uniforms, and they learned how to use electrical appliances and various means of transportation very quickly. They could go to the haunted house first and take the couple away from the house.
Anyway, he is a vampire, and his recovery ability is much greater than that of ordinary people. He will not die immediately even if his neck is broken. Kate grew up in the forest and has a keen sense of danger. With their protection, they will definitely be able to protect the family and wait for Bourne's arrival.
Bourne hesitated for a moment before agreeing and he and Hanskett went their separate ways.
Everything was going smoothly. Hans and Bourne were riding in a taxi and had been on the phone with Bourne the whole time. But half an hour ago, their phone call was suddenly disconnected and they could no longer contact each other.
It was already half past ten in the evening when Bourne rushed to the town of Amityville.
When she first entered the town, Notan said she felt a similar atmosphere here.
Following the direction given by Notan, Bourne came to the villa and indeed found something strange here. He happened to save Father Chelsea who was attacked by an illusion.
But is this really the haunted house that the Warrens mentioned?
Where are Hans and Kate?
Bourne's feeling of uneasiness grew stronger and stronger, not towards this haunted house, but towards the real haunted house!
"Excuse me, Father, I'm here in a hurry. Do you know which direction 2 Wilther Street is?"
"What? You're going there?" Father Chelsea looked incredulous. "Do you know where that is?"
"That's the house of a couple of my friends. Half an hour ago, my two friends said they would be there soon, but suddenly we couldn't get in touch with them!"
Bourne stared at Father Chelsea and asked, "Father, you know what's there, right?"
“Young man, although I don’t know which state’s saint you are from, you should do everything within your ability. If you need merit, I can provide you with several places where dark creatures appear, but that house,” Father Chelsea shook his head and advised, “is not the place you should go now!”
"Father," Bourne interrupted him, "that house has been occupied for more than half a year, and my psychic friend has a bad feeling about it!"
"What?" Father Chelsea exclaimed again, "There was always a for-sale sign there, I thought--"
He suddenly stopped talking, his face turned pale in an instant, and his body shook a few times.
"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have been so soft-hearted to her. I never thought she would do such a thing. So that's how it is. So that's how it is. It seems that Antana's injury was caused by me? Haha, you really did everything you could to get what you wanted!"
Father Chelsea smiled miserably, but his eyes became firm:
"There's still time, we must stop her! Prevent that freak from being born!"
At this moment, there was a thunder in the sky outside, and the lightning illuminated the entire town. The originally misty spring rain now turned into a heavy rain.
"Young Saint, you drive and I'll show the way. This matter must be resolved tonight!"
Father Chelsea seemed to have regained his strength and walked out. But Bourne stopped him and asked:
"Father, what about here? That painting."
Father Chelsea walked away without looking back and said, "Don't worry about it. As long as we get rid of that person, these evil tricks will turn into ashes in the face of the Holy Light! If you want to know the whole story, I will tell you in detail after we solve this matter!"
