Pek nodded, "That should be possible."
"Good. I hope you can take us to that house now."
...
Morleyville Community, No. 304.
Guided by Pek, Luke found the gray house he had described.
Luke stopped the car, looked around for a moment, neither spotting any suspicious individuals nor hearing any noise.
Besides Luke and Hope, there were four accompanying patrol officers at the scene.
Luke ordered two patrol officers to watch Pek and Martha, two officers to guard the back door, and he and Hope entered the house from the front to search.
The door was ajar, not closed.
Luke gently pushed open the door, perhaps due to professional sensitivity, or perhaps it was psychological, he faintly smelled a scent of blood.
Luke and Hope moved in a cross formation to search the room, one to the left, one to the right, one ahead, and one behind.
As they had already known the situation in the house in advance, their movements were agile and did not make much noise.
