The midday sun was left behind by Zach. The first thing he did when he returned to Grande was to go to the basement to see Leo and Charlie. There's not much to say, transitioning to a blank slate of vampires and statues, well, statues. Zach returned to the office.
While listening to the strange message reminded by O'Neill, he flipped through the notes left on the table.
"Lesembra?" Zach raised his eyebrows when he heard this. In his hand was the amount of compensation Grande agreed to pay to Allen. The two raised eyebrows were put together.
"A reward from the Sabbat, haha." When Zach heard this, he was holding the transcript of the transfer for Skoll's burial - it was originally a prison that cooperated with the mill, and the account was transferred directly to the mill because the mill suspended the cremation business. Grande is here. Let’s put the two haha together.
Zach began to feel that there was no need to bother Fitz to check the phone records. He had already guessed who made these two inexplicable calls. I thought the message was gone, so I grabbed a wine bottle and prepared to join Grande's lunch.
He said he joined, but in fact he just wanted to play the role of a boss who cares about Grande's work. He asked some irrelevant questions while everyone was eating, to show that his boss had not forgotten everyone who worked hard for Grande.
But the messages continued.
"Why do you do this to me!! Why?!!"
It's James.
Zach leaned against the door, swinging the bottle of wine in his hand, listening to James howling on the answering machine, saying to the air, "Why not? Heh." Yeah, why not, James doesn't stop' When testing the limits of tolerance of our vampires, wouldn't he have the slightest sense of self-awareness and would he accept his limits being 'tested'? Too naive.
After listening to a bunch of meaningless yelling from James in a relatively happy mood, Zach thought the message was over and was about to leave.
but.
"Zach, we need your help, we can't find Nate."
It's Harrison.
"Mr. Pine doesn't know where Nate has gone. Uh, we can't tell Mr. Pine that his son is stealing things from the shelter. We can't ask too much. Can you help us this time? Uh. , Mrs. Quinn suppressed the news for the time being and did not notify Smith, because she believed that Smith would definitely take drastic measures. At this time when the people in the West End were focusing on dealing with the problem of Port Massa, she did not think that Smith would need to do something about it. The case came out and was paid attention to by the North District Police Station. Well, anyway, if you hear the message, reply to me."
This message is really over. Zach immediately went downstairs with raised eyebrows, thinking.
Will Smith take drastic measures? It's probably true. Think of the undead Dylan and the self-combusting Daisy boyfriend in the recording incident. Smith showed no mercy to those who stole from him.
Zach called Harrison back, "Okay."
"Okay!" Harrison looked very excited, "Do you need more information about Nate? I asked Mr. Pine about his itinerary these days, the parties he has attended, and the places he has visited. Job interviews and the like…”
"Well." Zach thought about it for a moment, "I believe you have checked these clues. Is there anything worth tracking down?" Zach, you are so realistic, there is no need to waste time, right
"Uh, no." Harrison on the other side of the receiver was a little depressed. "But he attended Yuri's party on Saturday. We found out that he was once a graduate of Kyle's class, and he didn't go to a few others in Barton. Classmates and friends in college may be helpful. Well, he may be hiding among his friends."
Based on Harrison's uncertain tone, Zach didn't give a positive response, "Okay, I get it. But, how did Nate realize that he had been discovered and started hiding? I thought your investigation It's very secretive." Zach shook his head, "And my investigation is even more secretive, and it's impossible to leak the information."
"Uh... we don't know."
"Okay, forget it if I don't know. When I find this Nate, does Mrs. Quinn have any instructions? How should I deal with this guy?" Since it was mentioned before that Mrs. Quinn was trying to avoid drastic results, Naza You have to ask.
"Uh... I don't know. I'll ask Mrs. Quinn..."
"No, I'll ask myself. Okay, hang up."
Then, Zach finally came to the restaurant as he wished and started pretending to be the boss.
Ignoring the Earthbinder O'Neill Fury who had already been 'reminded' by Zach to harass Mo, Zach decided to start with Old Hank, "Are you all ready for the funeral this afternoon?"
"What are you preparing for!" Old Hank has a reason to be kind to Zach? "Allen's people will come to pick up the coffin in the afternoon! Then go to the church for the funeral, and then bury it in South Park! The security guards have been notified to release the Ailey workers at that time! What should we prepare?! It has nothing to do with us!"
This is what it means to be ready. Zach turned to Louise, "Skoll's burial?"
"Benjamin said he was buried in the North Garden anyway, and there was no need to tidy up his appearance. He could just bury it in the evening and put a tombstone in it." Louise was not at the dining table, but squatting in front of the Great Dane to 'admire' the big tombstone. Dan Dog ate without saying anything. He glanced sideways at Zach and said, "Skoll was stabbed to death by an inmate in the middle of the night." He still said without saying anything, "Although I know it was the fulfillment of a devil's contract, that guy is in prison. The popularity is indeed not very good."
Zach blinked, not knowing how to respond.
Louise waved her hand, "The prison has also notified relatives, but Skoll has no relatives in Barton. The process went very quickly, and even a friend who picked up the body didn't come. Now the person is lying in the morgue. Do you want to Go and have a look?"
"No." Zach refused directly, "I've been watching him all morning, no need."
Louise lightly shrugged, "It's okay not to look at it, it doesn't look good."
Pretending, that's all I can do, let's start the purely interracial topic.
Starting with Benjamin, "What became of Skoll? Will he come and visit when they bury him at night?"
"It's limited to mid-level demons." Zach sat down at the head table, shook his lunch, and poured Louise a drink, "Eric still shrank when he was at the high level, and I cheered him up. It's useless." After Louise took the wine glass he handed over, Zach continued, "I don't think he will come to visit his burial ceremony, the 'General' took him directly back to the southeast."
"That's good." Benjamin said casually while handling the food in front of him, "There's no need to bury Scour's body. Leave it there. I'll find something to bury it over there at night. The body will be left in Grande." , I’m useful.”
So Zach also raised his eyebrows and asked casually, "What do you want the body for?"
"Hehehe~" Benjamin actually looked at Zach and smiled, "Looking at your face, do you think I will tell you? Hehehe~"
Zach was stunned for a moment, what happened
Unable to continue thinking, the topic was changed. It was Sam.
The wizard hurriedly swallowed the food in his mouth, as if he was afraid that Zach would have other emotions in his eyes when he blinked at Benjamin, "Mayor Newton's soul was sent to Anthony." Then he curled his lips and shook his head, "To be precise, it was sent to Anthony. It's in the hands of his publicist, Blake Stone." He frowned, "The strange undead contract is John's witchcraft, right? The one between Blake and Jackson (the undead Jackson Bishop) I must admit that John is very powerful. He actually used that method to bury a witchcraft contract for the dead souls who believe in the Holy Lord. It was probably adapted from some Papa Midnight Experimental witchcraft, although it is nothing. It can only make those two people perceive each other..." After realizing that Zach was too lazy to listen to this kind of thing, he pursed his lips, "But I believe you want me to give the things to them. After all, Mayor Anthony does not No ability to communicate with souls.”
Zach nodded, glanced at Benjamin, who was still smiling, and said forget it. The only experience a vampire has gained from living with an Alpha for so long is that no one can make Alpha Benjamin say what he doesn't want to say.
"Did the mayor say anything about the Newton Devil?" Zach was a little curious about Anthony's thoughts on Newton losing the mayor again. Barton is a city divided from the belly of Newton. Not only in terms of geography, Newton suppresses Barton in all aspects. But isn't it an opportunity first? Judging from the structure of human society, from now on, the era of Newton being suppressed by Barton has arrived.
"No." Sam shook his head. "The mayor didn't say anything to me except looking at me a few times. But Blake asked me to pass on a message to you. He said you were right and he shouldn't have done anything to Jack. Sen was too cautious, and now that his secret has been known to Jackson, nothing has changed." Sam paused, "Do you know what he is talking about?"
Zach smiled and said, "I know, but it's not something you need to care about. Is there anything else."
"That undead Jackson also asked me to ask you, his father, if Bishop will die. He said that he didn't really want his father to die, so he asked you to save him when you can." Sam's His face started to look strange, "He said that their whole family died and then reunited as souls. It feels so embarrassing to think about it."
The children in the West End, living and dead, really, really all are speechless guys.
Zach waved his hand, "What else did Jackson say?"
"No, that's all." Sam lowered his head, the look on his face was thinking. What he was thinking about, it shouldn't be surprising, he was thinking about the lines connecting from Zach.
He once felt that he had to stay close to Zach to be a good vampire wizard and understand the vampires he served. But now that he was no longer with Zach, he began to truly understand the web emanating from Zach.
If the epoch-making combination of vampires and wizards was what Sam, the wizard, wanted from the beginning, if he had to do it over again, he would probably choose a simpler vampire service, such as Gangero, who at least has some habits similar to those of werewolves. Zach, Zach, that's over the top.
Zach finally turned his attention to Danny, "You look like you're in a good mood."
"Yeah!" Danny nodded with a smile, "Although I know that the Newton Devil is not interested in special schools, I am still a little worried about Will's safety after he goes to Newton to go to school. Now, haha, there is no need to worry. I am prepared to have Time to tell him the good news."
Zach smiled, "Why not now?" Zach seemed to be encouraging something, "And I think we should introduce Will and his mother to some experienced people, such as Kyle's classmate, Vincent, and his younger brother Why don’t you just go to a special school?”
"I think so too." There was some discomfort on Danny's face, "But Will still doesn't want me to appear in front of his mother." He glanced at Zach, "He doesn't want me to show his mother again. Involved in an alien incident.”
Zach tilted his head and retracted the 'thread' stretched out by a certain heel. "Well, that's my fault. You should tell Will the good news." He smiled and waved at the food in front of Danny. He waved his hand and said, "Stop eating. No one here has a 'healthy life' policy. You don't need to pretend."
Danny smiled at Zach, turned into colorful light and disappeared.
Also floating up at the same time was Mo, "I told you earlier." It floated upstairs, and of course, it was followed by O'Neill Fury.
Zach looked at Benjamin again, but his words had to go around in a circle, "Lois, take a good rest, and take care of Charlie in the basement. Hank, it sounds like you don't need me in the afternoon, right. Then Sam, You go out with me in the afternoon." Benjamin finally came to him, curling his lips, "Obviously someone has his own 'secret' to deal with, so I won't bother him."
Someone was enjoying the food with a smile on his face, "It's rare that you are so self-conscious."
"I've always been so self-conscious." Zach swung his wine glass helplessly and looked at Sam, "It's still about the shelter. Harrison can't find Nate, but Nate is Kyle's classmate. He suspects that Harrison is hiding with his classmates, so you go to Kyle’s classmates and investigate."
"Uh..." Sam hadn't finished thinking yet, and his reaction was a bit slow, "The Vincent you mentioned to Danny just now?"
"Yeah. Kyle still has a few old classmates staying in Barton. You can check the social connections there with Vincent, and then we'll meet up with Sheila in the West District."
"Sheila?"
"Harrison mentioned that Nate attended Yuri's party." Zach was a little helpless, because it sounded like a troublesome job, didn't it? "Obviously, Nate's social circle is very wide. I doubt that I only checked a few. Old classmates can find him. I’ll go to Sheila’s place to find the invitation list for that day’s party.”
"It's not good for Alice and the others to go to Leipte again." Louise interjected.
The answer was indeed Benjamin, "Just give up this road. When we left Reiput in the morning, Laura kept asking Sissy and I what happened to Kyle in the past that led to him being entangled by an angel now." Smiling. Glancing at Zach, "Zach definitely doesn't want to run into it at this time and uncover the true process of the commission all over again."
Louise understood, shook her head, and looked at Zach sympathetically, "You know you can't hide, right. Laura may not ask Alice to take care of Alice's emotions, but you, Laura, never I won’t take care of you.”
Zack, swaying his wine glass, said, "Hide away for a while~" How calm. (.)
