The Captain I Married by Chance novel Chapter 604

"Captain Gordon, what did you mean when you said you were dropping Nolan off for duty?"

As Nora spoke, she cast a glance at Nathan.

She noticed he remained completely unfazed, as if he fully expected this outcome, which only deepened her curiosity.

Did Nathan know about this all along?

"It's like this, Dr. Hayes. Nolan is an external recruit we brought into the Police Special Operations Command. We've been putting him through some emergency crash-course training recently."

"Since he has absolutely zero experience in the field, and everyone on our team is tied up, plus the fact that he was eager to learn, we discussed it and decided to send him to your department to gain some real-world experience."

"I happened to hear that your Special Task Force is short on tech talent. Nolan will be working with you from now on. If you have any tasks, just throw them his way. Don't go easy on him."

Nora's jaw dropped. "Nolan is an external recruit?"

And for Special Ops, no less?

Good lord. Nora's impression of Nolan was still stuck on the arrogant, flashy punk phase.

Who would have thought he was actually this skilled, jumping straight to becoming a recruit for the elite unit.

While Nora hadn't actively followed their recruitment standards, she knew that for Special Ops to make an exception, he had to possess a serious advantage.

An absolutely one-in-a-million talent.

What kind of skill did Nolan have that made even Special Ops jump at the chance to recruit him?

Nora instinctively looked at Nathan.

Her gut told her Nathan definitely knew the details.

Was she really the only one left in the dark?

Though she felt a mix of emotions, Nora kept her expression neutral.

"Hehe, Nora, we're colleagues now!"

But watching him squirm, Nora found it highly entertaining.

It wasn't until Captain Gordon sent Nolan out to take a walk so he could discuss a few things with Nathan that Nora finally learned the reason behind the contradiction from the Captain himself.

"Nolan is incredibly gifted."

"However, his father, the elder Mr. Devereaux, was dead set on having his son inherit the family business, which ended up stifling his talent for a while."

"Thankfully, the elder Mr. Devereaux was a bit of a hypocrite. He verbally opposed his son's 'useless' hobbies, but he never cut the funding or the resources. Once our team spotted this prodigy, we brought him right in."

"The kid lacks stamina and physical strength, so standard Special Ops training isn't the best fit for him just yet. We were hoping you could keep a close eye on him, Officer Peyton."

Nora knew that flexible recruitment protocols existed.

But she never expected Special Ops to go to such lengths for talent.

"If I may ask, what exactly is Nolan's specialty?"
