North District Police Department.
"Where are you going?!" Coulson grabbed James' arm and stared at his partner.
"I'm off work!" James shook off his partner.
"After work?" Coulson looked incredulous, "A new missing cargo has just been reported in Port of Marsa (Fisher delayed the investigation of the North District Police to buy time for his human trafficking frame-up)! The West District Police Department just reported Come to the banquet organizer’s list of lost and sold items (the channel for the smuggling of new Cozier products manufactured by the people in the West End, and the part where Mrs. Sheila gave Cozier’s bag to Rita should be easy to understand)! Liszt supports Aesela Several unidentified fund flows have just been discovered in the campaign funds (the main purpose of the West Side people now is to blame Liszt for everything, but what Coulson is talking about now is the cooperation of Aisela)! You said you were off work Already?!"
James was very persistent, "I want to go home!"
"Go home?!" Coulson's movements were not slow, and he grabbed the back of James' clothes with his backhand, with a gloomy look on his face, "Do you think I'm stupid! Don't think I didn't hear what you and your new girlfriend just said. A little call from your girlfriend! You can do it, Lance! You must be out of your mind!" Listen carefully to what Coulson said - "Your last relationship (Georgina) prioritized work, and it ended badly! Do it now! The other way around?! You dropped your job and went to see your girlfriend with just one phone call?!"
The "bad ending" Coulson said was not as tragic as Georgina's kidnapping and disappearance (death), only the breakup. Can you recall that when Georgina's parents came to Barton to meet James, James was late. Georgina's whole family was opposed to her interacting with the police.
Do you think the things that define James' life are those heroic detectives in the newspapers and on the news? No, James is not a historical figure in a textbook. What defines him are these tiny little fragments.
Coulson glared at James, "You are a detective! Work always comes first!"
James glanced at his partner gloomily, turned around, and faced Coulson's sudden frown of discomfort, in front of Coulson.
Coulson grimaced and looked at James who was almost touching the tip of his nose, "What are you doing?!"
James opened the hem of Coulson's coat and grabbed Coulson's belt. The scene was awkward, but it seemed to be what James was trying to express. His hand grasped the police badge on Coulson's belt, and forcefully pulled Coulson's entire body off, holding Coulson's police badge closely. Hui met in front of him, "You're right!" James said gloomily, "We are police detectives! We are not the bastards of the West District people!"
Coulson's face turned dark instantly and he grabbed the police badge. He hated James for saying that to him! He almost gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not the loser of the West End people! I'm the loser of my boss!" He must have been so angry that he said such words, "The director (Darcy) said, everyone come on! Now it's Special period! I don’t have time to cultivate feelings for you and your girlfriend…”
James looked at his partner with almost... no, just sympathy. In a dark corner of James's heart, James really wanted to laugh. Coulson really didn't understand the situation at all!
The West Side people want to destroy Liszt, because Liszt is a partner of the Western Sabbat. Fisher, Kozier, and even Ethela all jumped on the West Side people's ship because of that hateful vampire, and they attacked openly and covertly together. Liszt. The only person who is by Liszt's side now is Darcy, the chief of the North District Police Department.
Coulson, Coulson, had no idea that the two thighs he wanted to hug tightly were not on the same person at all! Coulson thought he was doing his best in front of powerful people? No, he's asking for death.
James turned around, looking at Coulson's words, which were too sad, and the last little reminder, "We are homicide detectives, these are not our business, we are off duty."
James is gone. When everyone at the North District Police Station is busy, go home? Of course not. He was going to pick up his girlfriend. Where would he pick her up? Excellent, Grand Funeral Home.
"Are you going to Grande?"
It seemed that James could not easily walk out of the police station. Chapman appeared out of nowhere and followed James.
"No!" This was the answer produced by his childish instinct, and James's face was so gloomy that frost could form.
"Then can you go to Grande?" Chapman still followed James, paying attention to the surrounding environment in a low voice, "I need to bring a message to Zach. Well, it's not just me, Fallen Angel, Uh, and Skoll."
James felt his lungs cramping as he took a deep breath.
He grabbed Chapman's belt with one hand, turned around, and walked toward the empty elevator. James really didn't want to have to talk about certain topics surrounded by people, 'ignorant' people.
Chapman didn't resist. He looked at the elevator and it was still on the top floor. He closed the door and said, "Let me talk about my business first. The least important thing."
James didn't want to reply and stared at Chapman. It was also in the dark corner of his heart. James felt that if the Chapman in front of him had succeeded in committing suicide, he wouldn't need to live like this. Yes, the dark side of James self-righteously believed that Chapman would be better off dead than alive.
"My son..." Chapman didn't know what James was thinking, and there was a smile on his face, "he is cured." Chapman saw James's averted gaze, and continued indifferently, "Because Zach's Blood, he is very healthy now." Remember, because of Zach's persuasion, Chapman withdrew from the ongoing experimental treatment in the West, "I always wanted to go to Grande to say thank you, but you also know, I can't leave. Come on, the situation in the bureau is a mess now, and I’m not like you, who can confront the director.”
This is also true, in the entire police department, the only person who dares to confront Darcy is James Lance.
The corners of James' eyes twitched, but he still didn't speak.
"Tell Zach, thank you." Chapman shook his head. Although he didn't have any tacit understanding with James, he still saw him every day and knew a little about James. He emphasized, "Please, help me bring him. "Stop talking about this topic that will make James even more gloomy. "Then, you probably need to take a few deep breaths. You won't like what I say next."
Chapman didn't need to remind him that James was already taking a deep breath.
"Scall is ready to come out." From jail. It seems that Chapman put the information about the fallen angels at the end, "I don't know what the 'General' told him when he went to the prison to see him a few days ago, but he decided to return to the South District to lead the 'Skeletons' Skull' up."
What James wanted to say, after thinking about it, he decided to forget it - the two surviving gang leaders in the southeast have returned, 'good', really 'good', one is a vampire and the holder of the devil's contract, okay It couldn't be better.
"But, he is not going to use the conventional way of return..." Chapman frowned here. This was the reason why he reminded James to take a deep breath. "He wants to fulfill his devil's contract." Chapman paid attention to James. The look on the sergeant's face, "When he comes out of jail, he..." Chapman thought about the exact words, "He's going to leave his body in jail."
Judging from the way James looked up at the ceiling, he understood.
So Chapman continued, "But his soul will not stay in hell for too long. Now that the demons have more efficient ways to advance, Skoll will advance in the Church of the Holy Child..."
"What the hell does this have to do with Zach..."
"Constantine isn't here." Interrupted directly, Chapman pressed his chest and used his deep breathing movements to remind James to follow suit, "Although Eric was recommended by Constantine, he was , well, a 'panic attack', and he rested for such a long time. His instability is considered unreliable by the demons, and the demons need someone they can trust to monitor Skoll's promotion ceremony." He straightened his chest and motioned for James to take a deep breath, "The devil wants Zach to watch."
James was very obedient, and his chest rose and fell greatly.
"Mike wanted to tell Zach himself." Chapman gave James time to adjust his emotions, and then continued, "But, he is, well, hiding now and will not appear for a while."
Instinctively, he wanted to ask, "What?", but James knew exactly where this conversation was going and kept his mouth shut. Because next, there is news that the fallen angel Jessica will bring to Zach.
"The fallen angel is in hell, and the person who keeps the gate of hell in this world is Mike. His safety is too important, and now." Chapman paused, "The demon barrier around Barton is being attacked by Newton demons. "
"What?!" This time he couldn't restrain his instinct.
Accompanied by this 'What? ! 'Then the elevator bell rang - the elevator on the top floor began to descend.
Chapman glanced at the descending numbers and sped up, "What happened at breakfast today was at the end of the full moon cycle. Newton demons gathered around the barrier. Well, it's a bit troublesome to explain. You can ask Zach Regarding the demon barrier, anyway, what you need to know is that we don’t want the Newton Demon to enter Barton, and the fallen angels are still unable to stabilize the barrier from hell. Our only chance to resist the invasion of the Newton Demon is... "
"Vampire!" James added, his face so gloomy that it turned frosty, "Zach!"
"Well." Chapman seemed to be relieved. It would be better for James to name this key person himself than for him to say it out loud. "The demons have already contacted the 'General', Rimmer and Nofiler, but we We all know that no matter how they behave, or whether they belong to Smith, Sibella, or just want revenge, they only listen to Zach."
Even though James had accepted the reality, he still tried to resist childishly, "Where's Gangro? Over there with the Saints?!"
Chapman gave James a helpless look, "It's impossible for the Saints to show up. Gangaro is the last line of defense for the Saints and Angels." Even though the elevator was approaching the bottom floor, Chapman was still there. James was given time to react, "The Newton Demons knew about the return of the angels. The reason they tried to invade Barton was because of the progress of the Saints in heaven. Like Mike, they would never show up at this time."
When James took another sharp breath, Chapman glanced at the elevator. "Bring these words to Zach. Ask him about the rest. He knows more." Isn't it? Chapman was out of time constraints. , I didn’t have time to explain how Newton Demon knew about the angel, right...
Chapman gave a final nod, opened the door, and walked away, leaving James exhaling forcefully.
If possible, James could definitely leave before the elevator came down, but unfortunately, the emotional adjustment was not that easy. When James walked out with his whole body tense, his belt was pulled by someone, "Just in time, I'm looking for you."
Director Darcy closed the document in his hand with an irritated look, pulled James back, closed the elevator door, and said bluntly, "Port Marsa, West District Police, Lister." The three Coulson just said Say the job, "You don't have to go."
Huh, it seems like James is getting ready to go.
Darcy was unconscious, "I have a more important job for you." Looking at James, "Go to Grande and find Zach..." After a pause, "Are you sick?" There was a hint of facial expression. James Bai looked at her with a miserable face, "Do you need medicine?"
"No! I don't need it!" He gritted his teeth.
"Very good, you can't hide from what happened this time." Darcy shook his head, a little irritated, "I need you to find Zach and ask him to summon Barton's vampires to guard New York. The invasion of the devil..." He frowned again and looked at James, "Are you sure you're okay?"
"I'm sure! You said the Newton demon invaded!" James was good, he knew how to divert the other party's attention in this situation.
"Uh, yes." Darcy regained his irritability, "I don't know which damn guy leaked the news about the angels returning to heaven, the Newton demon, no, all the demons outside Barton are crazy..."
"Does the Sabbat still care about Newton's demons?" James glared at Darcy.
To be honest, James' life is quite tiring. Look at the people around him, who does he have a crush on
"We don't." Darcy curled his lips, "We have an agreement with the devil not to affect each other in the west, have you forgotten?" There was a slight smile on his face, "Humph, but you should be able to understand now, we Sabbat We don’t like things that are out of control. So, do you think that we secretly support the training of demon hunters in religious academies just for fun? No, we don’t want demons to share our world.”
Darcy waved his hand, smiled and then returned to his irritability, "The annoying thing is that Taylor is gone at this time." Goodbye at breakfast, remember, "Cozier and I are bound by the non-influence agreement with the devil again. , you can't take action to take care of this matter. The only reliable guy in Barton is Zach from Grande. You go and tell Zach to let him take action. It's best to bring Nofele and Rimel with him. Tell him that if he completes this, the Sabbat will rate him higher and he will be satisfied with our reward. Tsk, it’s just a pity. At this time, I still want to ask him to be with the West Enders... forget it."
A somewhat ridiculous fact is that the Sabbat also regards our Zachary Grande as a valuable resource.
James stared at Darcy for a long time, "No, I don't want anything to do with Zach anymore..." In a sense, darkened.
"Be mature!" Darcy pouted, "Now! No more staying in the bureau! You're off work!"
James obeyed and left work. (.)
