Before describing the situation at hand, we have to face a certain reality. We can no longer say that James's home is the diamond king's loft, there is a woman here, Kate.
"Put it down! It's only early morning!" James took the bottle from Kate's hand.
Kate glanced at James and turned around to get a new bottle.
"Kate!" James frowned, "What the hell is going on with you!"
He didn't answer, his only expression a frown caused by the alcohol burning his throat.
James rubbed his forehead, "At least promise me not to run around! Don't go to Allen Funeral Home and talk nonsense again..."
"I'm not your child." The bottle was thrown on the bar, Kate tilted her head, "How did you find me yesterday?"
"Well, I met Huanrendan..."
"Stop talking." The wine bottle that had just been put down was lifted up again, and Kate raised her head.
James's face was twisted in confusion. Irritably, he threw away the document in his hand and sat across from Kate, "Kate! Don't you want to live with me? I don't understand what's wrong with you at all! Did I make you unhappy?"
Hey, everyone knows about gender issues. If possible, no one would want to talk about these issues, but it seems that the time has come to have to talk about them, at least James feels so.
Kate raised her eyes and glanced at James, who was holding her hand, and frowned, "I don't want to live with you? Who mentioned moving in together? You."
"Uh, no! You mentioned it!" James' face must have been wrinkled, "This is where I'm confused! You weren't happy after you moved in! I can feel it! Now you're drinking early in the morning again !Don’t tell me this is your habit! I don’t think so!”
"You don't think anything." Kate looked away, "They say living together is when two people discover each other's true living habits. How do you know that I'm not the kind of person who drinks early in the morning." The corners of her mouth trembled slightly. "Have you realized now that I'm not as nice as you thought, and you don't want me to live here anymore? Do you want to break up?"
"Uh, no! Kate! I didn't mean that!" James chased Kate's gaze, "Don't mention those two words! I'm glad you are willing to live with me! I just don't know what you are thinking! Follow me Tell me! Kate, let me know what’s bothering you!”
A bit unexpectedly low-profile. Ah, yes, the last time James didn't keep a low profile, Georgina died. What a realistic lesson. I'm just afraid it's not enough.
"Haha." Kate smiled, "What am I bothering about? This is really a good question. Haha, what can I be bothered about? I live with Barton's hero, Barton's most promising man, and I live with humans, Detective James Lance, whom all races love, is the lover. I can, why bother."
"Kate...I, I don't understand..."
"Don't waste time here, you should go to work." Kate took back the hand held by James and glanced at her, "Citizens of Barton, we are still waiting for your police protection." She picked up the bottle and walked to the second floor. On the stairs upstairs, it seems that he is going back to the bedroom. "When you come back, continue to tell me about your ignorant partner, the inheritor director Darcy, huh, the ridiculous things that were played by Grande's vampires." His eyes slowly passed. Glancing at James, "You know I like hearing these things." The corners of his mouth curled up and then down, and he stopped talking.
The only good thing about working as a reporter is that she doesn't have to be tied to an office. But seeing that the wine bottle in her hand was gone, I'm afraid she wasn't tied anywhere except James' bedroom.
With a sullen face, James watched Kate go upstairs, closed the door, rubbed his forehead and picked up the police documents that had been put down again. I had no choice but to tidy up and get ready to go out.
The patched iron door was opened. The first time James looked up, his eyes widened, "Louise, Benji... uh, when did you get here!"
Louise glanced at the door, raised her hand to pull James out, and then closed the iron door, "Just now."
"Tsk! How much have you heard!!"
"Starting from living together." Benjamin leaned on the elevator and shrugged nonchalantly, "Congratulations."
James curled his lips and pushed Benjamin away, preparing to go down. Although it shouldn't be, there was a trace of joy in James's heart at this moment that he couldn't ignore. It was great. Zach was not here and he no longer had to listen to some disgusting jokes.
"I came here to inform you that Mokawi disappeared from the nursing home and asked your director to pay attention." Seeing that Benjamin didn't mean to say anything serious, Louise spoke and pursed her lips, "Instead of asking you to leave Amy After Leah found out, she went to blame Zach again. He is not suitable to be disturbed now, so why don't we inform you."
James pulled at the lift gate, a series of emotions passing through him, turning his face into a rag again. It's a pity that Louise blocked his outlet, wasn't it? Take a deep breath and step into the elevator.
The reverberating sound of mechanical operation continued for a while, and when it was about to end, he said, "You don't have to worry too much. We are no longer worried about Mokawi coming to Barton now than when we were originally worried about Mokawi coming to Barton. She just disappeared, and she shouldn't be messing around in Barton." Yes, we and Nofel have come out to look for her."
James didn't want to speak, the space shook slightly, and the elevator door that touched the ground was torn open. It seemed that he didn't bother to express any opinions at all.
"But still, if your patrolling police find traces of Mokawi, it is only right to inform us." Louise followed James out of the elevator, glanced at Benjamin behind her, and smiled, "You You have two choices, let Benjamin follow you, or let me follow.”
"Are you trying to laugh?" James couldn't help it. He originally looked at Louise and Benjamin unkindly, but after Benjamin stretched casually, he withdrew it, irritably, and stared at Louise and Benjamin. Yi Si pointed her toes, "What does it have to do with the police to find Mokawi?"
"Didn't Zach tell you about Mokavi's ability? All the special features of the thirteen clans are concentrated on her, and it depends on her mood. This means that Novel is hidden." Louise didn't mind James. "Not only the thirteen clans, she also 'absorbed' the ability of Sabbat Toledo. If she didn't want to be discovered by vampires, we wouldn't be able to detect her even if we stood back to back with her. We need everyone with eyes to use The most traditional way to find someone. We need Darcy’s help.”
You will always find fault if you want to, "And you just said you don't need to worry. Tsk!"
"Benjamin and I went to the nursing home to visit, and Mokawi took away the food Grande prepared for her, so..." Louise raised her eyebrows, "At least there is no need to worry for a day or two."
James tensed up for a moment. There was a difference between thinking about it and hearing someone say it outright. James pointed at Louise and said, "Follow."
"Haha." Louise patted Benjamin, who had long since no longer wanted to waste time here, and watched as Benjamin turned around and disappeared through the alley, "It's good that Kai is particularly concerned."
"Tsk!" This was the answer. He opened the car door and really didn't want to say any more.
What was surprising was that Louise sat in the passenger seat. After fastening her seat belt, she fiddled with the rearview mirror and faced herself.
James frowned and glanced at the blurry image in the rearview mirror, "Are you still practicing this?" Curious? Be concerned. We don’t need to mention the fate of James and Louise again.
"Yeah." Louise smiled, "Forget it 'General', you can't be compared with Charlie." This reason can still be used for a while.
James curled his lips and was distracted, "What's going on with Charlie?"
"What's going on?" Louise stared at the rearview mirror, and the blurry image became clearer and blurry again and again.
"Uh, what is Zach going to do to him?"
"I don't know. But, well, Nuo seems to like that guy quite a lot, so he should be nice to him." He smiled, "At least he will teach him what he needs to teach. He might even treat him seriously as a descendant of Toledo." Lu Yi Si raised her eyebrows, "My, brother, haha, it's quite strange to think about it." She glanced at James and said, "There are just so many 'brothers', the kind of people who get married after their parents divorce, and bring a That’s pretty much how brother and sister feel, haha, it’s quite amazing.”
"Uh, don't use this analogy with normal human things! Are you considered normal? Do you and Zach have a mother-daughter relationship? Charlie is Zach's brother from another remarriage!" Irritated? kindness. Because when he exited, James already realized that something was wrong.
"Oh." Louise paused, "That's right, I'm sorry." Then she still smiled. Louise was really smarter than James. She said lightly, "I have been a human longer than a vampire. Long, too little knowledge, wrong analogy.”
The person who speaks without speculation is naturally the one who is ignorant. It was James, irritated, "Don't tell Zach about me and Kate!"
"Yes." Louise responded, very seriously, but maybe she was looking at the rearview mirror too intently, which made someone feel uneasy.
"I'm serious! Don't tell Zach that Kate and I had an argument!"
"That was an argument just now?" Louise still looked at the rearview mirror and raised her eyebrows to add, "It sounds fine to me. Are you talking normally?"
"Well, it doesn't matter what it is, don't tell Zach! Who knows what he will laugh at!" No wonder James thought this way, "He didn't like me and Kate from the beginning!"
"Haha, then you really think too much about James, he won't say anything." In order to express that he was equally serious, he glanced at James, "Didn't he emphasize to you many times, Kate is You deal with your problems yourself.”
"Tsk!" It's this kind of worry about gain and loss, "Ghosts believe him!"
Louise shrugged, "It's up to you." What else is there to say. A touching guy with dual commerce, he deserves sympathy.
It wasn't too far from the backstreet of Liszt to the police station, but it happened to be the rush hour for work on Monday, so the driving process was not smooth. The stop-and-go traffic, coupled with the usual Monday irritability, and the constant honking of horns in the traffic, are really distracting.
Louise's image in the rearview mirror was startled by the sound of horns around her countless times. Louise curled her lips, leaned into the back seat, and looked at the traffic beside her.
Perhaps people tend to have random thoughts in such a helpless environment.
"James?" Louise suddenly spoke, "Do you remember that one day after we left Grande, I went to find you."
"What?" James was also the guy who occasionally honked the horn, but luckily he responded quickly and looked at Louise with a frown, "I remember, you saved my life from Ravenci. "
"Yeah." Louise nodded, looked back at James with a smile, "Then you remember, after that, I ran to Ravenci again. Fortunately, he didn't mind that I shot him. , took me in. Haha, of course, I was found by Zach in the end and returned to Grande."
"Uh, I remember." More than just remember, this is the beginning of everything, isn't it? I can't forget it. I don't know what James was thinking, "Tsk! Ravenclaw is already... Forget it, there is no need to say anything bad about him. He is not a bad person. He attacked me because he thought I was a skinchanger! The fact is that my Your identity was originally stolen by Jin! He took you in because he was a good person! You were scared at the time! Afraid of the aliens hiding in the city! He is a hunter! He protected you!"
"Yes." Louise nodded. There is nothing to disagree with. This is all true. "Sometimes I admire you very much. Aren't you afraid?" Louise smiled and looked at James again. , "What I mean is, haha, look at me. I was once afraid and went to find you again. After I found that you couldn't guarantee my safety..." I still want Louise to save me. What can I protect? "I'll go find someone stronger." The man is gone, hunter, Rui Wenqi. If Zach hadn’t found me again, I would have been, well, I don’t know what I would have been.” He waved his hand, “Weren’t you afraid at the time?”
"Afraid? Of course! Do I need to remind you that I was almost killed by Jin! Did I stay with the transformed Benjamin all night?" James became more irritated and knocked on the horn, "But what can I do! I was killed!" I am forced to accept Zach’s agreement! Help him and the mayor look after the middle and lower levels of the police station, what else can I do!”
"So, you are doing things for people who are stronger than you in order to gain a sense of security, right?" Louise still smiled, "Haha, don't deny it, you just came to Barton, Zach is stronger than you, obviously, the mayor is too Stronger than you. We have an agreement with them, so you are safe. So safe that you still have the heart to contact Rui Wenqi privately and consider more options."
James opened his mouth. This was something he had never thought of. But isn’t it also true? “What on earth do you want to say?”
"Nothing, I just thought about it, haha, this thing about security... You and I are luckier. You were given your sense of security from the beginning, and I finally found my sense of security. Some people are not so good. Good luck."
James's face darkened, and finally, he wasn't too stupid, "Louise, who do you want to say, you'd better be more specific!"
"Haha, it's not specific yet, Kate." Louise smiled and tilted her head, "I think she took the same path as me at the beginning and found you. Maybe the details are a little different. After all, you already know each other. Like, right? People who have no sense of security find someone who they think can give them a sense of security."
Louise looked at the rearview mirror again, "But James, we all know that the reason why we are lucky is that in the end, we all found someone who can really make us safe. There is no need to deny it, for you and me, both It's Zach. And you, James, you can't make anyone feel safe, you couldn't make me feel safe, and you can't give it to Kate now."
Louise didn't look at James's face, so let's take a guess.
"Can I ask when Kate moved in with you..."
Don't wait for someone to answer, just tell everyone. After sharing in the support group about Madison's escape, Kate realized, 'You pathetic people sitting here don't even know who made you sit here pathetically and don't believe it. The 'after' of one's own life.
"Zach said he won't care about you and Kate, so he won't care about you. James, this is just advice from a friend to a friend. After I found out that you couldn't give me a sense of security, I went to hunter Ravenqi. Fortunately, He was found by Zach before any tragedy happened. Your Kate, because of you, is destined to not have such good luck. Keep an eye on your girlfriend, James Lance."
