Summary
Lucas has light blond, neatly lifted hair, shy brown eyes, and a slim, fit build. His checked shirts, ties, jeans, and casual shoes give him a look that lands between professional and student, matched with a high-tech watch that suits his world.
He graduates from Cornell at 20 and drifts until he finds his place in cybercrime. After earning his security and forensic certifications, he moved to LA and joined the LAPD. His work as a civilian analyst in narcotics helps uncover a major drug ring on the dark net, drawing the chief’s attention and opening the path to becoming a detective. Grey brings him into Mid Wilshire’s cybercrime division, where he settles in with quiet focus despite the tough transition.
In the middle of building a life in a new city, he asks Tamara out for coffee. She does not answer, so he steps back, giving her space during the busy holiday week. She likes him but stays silent, unsure of what to do without any follow-up from him.
