C# - How to Combine two SharePoint Lists

Question

I am trying to combine two SharePoint lists into one so I can return items from two separate lists as one entity.

I have multiple Objects but I haven't found a good way to combine them no matter which ones I use.

Is there a simple way to combine the following?

SPList pubList = web.Lists["public"];
SPList secureList = web.Lists["secure"];

or

SPListItemCollection pubFiles = retrieveDocs(web, meta, pubList);
SPListItemCollection secureFiles = retrieveDocs(web, meta, secureList);

or convert these DataTables to SPListItemCollections

DataTable pubTable = pubFiles.GetDataTable();
DataTable secureTable = secureFiles.GetDataTable();

pubTable.Merge(secureTable);

In Summary

using System.Linq;

Then

List<SPListItem> allItems = new List<SPListItem>();
allItems.AddRange(list.GetItems(spQuery).Cast<SPListItem>().ToList());
allItems.AddRange(list2.GetItems(spQuery).Cast<SPListItem>().ToList());

//Do something to the "allItems"
