You Can Call Me Phil

As he said that, the officer waved at his colleagues and had them move the spike strip out of the way.

Luke nodded with a smile. "Thank you."

The officer said, "You're most welcome, Lu… Detective. This is only what we should do."

Silently looking at this scene, Weyland found it strange. This officer and the detective weren't in the same chain of command, but why were they so courteous, if not respectful, toward Luke?

What Weyland didn't know was that the officer had been at the security checkpoint in the lobby earlier, and had personally witnessed how bravely Luke fought and how he saved him as well as many other people by taking the two bags of explosives away.

So, the officer was naturally very friendly toward Luke.

But since extremists were involved, a confidential notification had already been issued within the police department. The officer didn't call Luke by his name because he didn't want to get Luke into any trouble.
