"Do I look like the kind of guy who hides bullets in the office?" Zach said as he entered the office. reason
Leo was almost hanging on the bookshelf in the office. The books were piled randomly aside. Half of his body was stretched out in the bookshelf, groping hard behind the gaps.
"I want to give it a try!"
Zach shook his head and handed over a bullet, "The barn is on the west side."
Leo retracted his body from the bookshelf and looked at the bullet in Zach's hand with a strange expression.
"What, do you want me to load it for you?"
"No need!" He grabbed the bullet and disappeared into the office with the 'Colt' on the table. Right, Zach put the 'Colt' on the table. It's too pretentious to say that he trusts no one to take it. Zach is confirming that no one dares to take it. Thinking about it this way, we understand that besides Grande, who else is qualified for Patton to 'keep' the Colt
So after a few moments 'Bang! After the sound, Zach swayed the wine glass leisurely, waiting for Leo to come back.
"This is the real 'Colt'!" Leo returned to the office, holding the murder weapon in both hands.
"Don't talk like you know it." Zach stretched out his hand, took the 'Colt', glanced at it twice, and threw it in the drawer. This is just fishing. I am afraid that someone will not take the bait. Zach added, "Saint Sissi has personally confirmed it. You don't need to confirm it again."
"What does she know!" She took the bait, "Humph, what do you know!"
"'We'? Do you mean the Faith of the Holy Lord?" Zach said this, which is not unexpected. Last time Leo was in Grande, didn't these two immortal guys have some doubts about the belief system they were in? Have a 'friendly exchange'
"Don't be so sentimental!" Just in case he doesn't refute, "I mean everyone!"
"So you actually know something about 'Colt' that no one else knows?"
Leo was also a little funny, staring at Zach without making any sound. If he didn't want to answer Zach's obviously follow-up question, he could just walk away. But he didn't leave or speak.
Zach waited for a while, bored. Shaking his head, he didn't want to waste any more time.
Zach left the farm early and had nothing to do. On the contrary, Zach still had a lot to do.
For example, just before returning to the office, I went to the basement to get bullets. After taking a brief look at Charlie's progress, it seemed to be very fast, and the image already had an outline. It is always good to let this descendant gain the ability to move freely before the arrival of Sabbat Toledo. Now that we have time, teaching Charlie to move under the sun is a good choice.
For example, find Louise who is in a daze behind the exhibition hall to discuss Grande's hospitality and the vampires preparing for the Sabbat. Darcy did say, invocation, punishment, whatever Zach did, right
For example, as Sheila reminded you just now, look for Riley...
Zach was sorting through his to-do list when the phone rang.
Zach picked up, "Grand Funeral..."
"Don't talk." It was Ethera, "I get upset when I hear you talk! Just listen!"
Zach raised his eyebrows, and Ethera called. Is it because of the season? The coolness of late autumn made this woman feel that it was too cold to come to Grande wearing all silver
"Someone from the prison will contact you soon and talk about 'community correction'. Nod and say yes, no objections required! Anthony has already seen the plan and agreed. You..."
"Sorry." Zach's etiquette really had nothing to say, "'Community Corrections'?" First reaction? Zach thought of a bunch of things, parole, community service, probation, halfway...
"Halfway house." Probably because Zach said he was sorry, Aisela was not that impatient. "Grand has built a new living area, hasn't it? It's still empty, huh. In short, you just need to..."
Wait a moment.
"No." Zach was not ready to let Ethela finish. "The Grande Living Area is Grande's living area. It is not a place for criminals to adapt to life. We have normal families living there. "Here." Bain's house, "There are newborn babies. There is no way I would let my employees live with criminals."
There was silence on the other side of the receiver.
This was a bit embarrassing. Zach couldn't hang up the phone, because according to Aisela's attitude, if Zach hung up, someone from the prison would immediately contact him. Zach needed to hear Aesela say give up now.
"I… "
"Quiet Leo." Zach glanced at Leo and continued to hold the receiver, waiting for Aisela's reply.
The silence on the other side of the receiver ended, "I will not become the mayor." The topic of Aisela changed inexplicably? No, "My failure is already doomed." Yes, Aisela's biggest supporter is Liszt who plays Infernal Affairs, so I won't say more, "So, I want to lose decently."
Zach frowned, but still showed no mercy, "You are not a decent woman, Eisela." Let's not talk about marriage. The person under his command is Susan's type... forget it, "Besides, what does this have to do with prison?" relation?"
"Hmph, have you forgotten, I have the 'best warden' in my hands." Well, that damn warden with a veteran background embezzled funds from the city government (cooperating with Grande Funeral Home, and also once let Grande Customers who can maintain business with city government subsidies), illegal handling of death row prisoners (Briz), prison escapes (Robert)... Starting from the beginning of summer, after the election was officially put on the table, Anthony lost the first place to Aisela. A handle, "I have two choices for him. One is that if I lose, I will not make it easy for Anthony, and expose all his cover-up for the 'best warden'. The other is, just like this, let him, With the honor given to him by Anthony, he has become dignified, and I can let go with dignity. Which one should I choose? Zach."
Zach opened his mouth and suppressed his sarcasm, "The latter."
"Well, so have we made it clear? Nod and say yes." Ethela should be enjoying this 'victory', "Humph, if it can make you happy, it will make Grande's recent reputation, haha, okay A little bit, after all, you’re contributing to the city of Barton.”
Zach frowned. Do you need to be reminded of what has caused Grande's recent bad reputation? I don’t know where the equipment that Sam sent to James was hidden. I hope it wasn’t hung casually on a hanger like James’ gun.
"I still need to talk it over with everyone."
"Do what you should do." These were just a few words, but they had the effect of the sound fading away. As soon as the last tone fell, the phone was hung up.
Well, Ethera, who is fully aware of her situation, is even more annoying!
Zach frowned and put down the phone, not bothering to pay attention to Leo who was about to speak again, and left the office directly.
After hesitating for a moment, he went to find Old Hank. Huh, the reason? As long as Grande's reputation is restored, who do you think will be the most active in Grande? And what does old Hank care about how many ex-convicts move into the Grand? Do not make jokes.
I won’t repeat what I told Old Hank. I just concluded, “I’ll help them with their psychological development!” This was the only time in many years that Old Hank took the initiative to take over Grande’s work affairs.
Zach is back in the office. Listen to Leo, who is about to speak again, say 'Colt'? No, wait for a call from the prison. But he was not in the mood to interrupt Leo.
"Have you ever wondered! Why Papa's Midnight Banshee can't see the death caused by 'Colt'!"
Just because he didn't interrupt didn't mean Zach was in the mood to respond. Naturally, I don't know how things respond. If he could respond, Yuehua and Baiying would not be disappointed and return to Salem.
"Have you ever thought about it! What makes those banshees see death..."
the phone is ringing. Zach said, "Quiet." He answered the phone, "Grand Funeral Home..."
"Very good." This voice... wasn't the 'best warden' Zach was waiting for, but the 'best judge'!
"Judge Judy Judy?" Zach raised an eyebrow, surprised that the shapechanger would call Grande.
If you don't remember, it doesn't matter. What she has to say will remind everyone.
"If you think my first and last name are funny, you don't have to say it out loud." He was actually complaining about Zach.
Ha, have you remembered? The female judge who wanted to prevent people from misunderstanding that she was a man by adding the title of judge to her last name. Okay, let’s be more specific. After Zach explicitly warned Anthony not to allow aliens to appear in positions that could control the direction of human society, Anthony still did not stop him from becoming a shapechanger, Judy, who controlled the justice of human law.
Maybe this description of her characteristics hasn't reminded everyone of who she is, (xxx, 7-8).
"The reason why I called you is, hehe, I made my own excuses..." There was a self-deprecating chuckle on the other side of the receiver, "Let me tell you, Allen applied to revoke the restraining order against you." Do you remember, once? When Allen sued Zach, which judge presided over the hearing? Judge Judy. Who personally signed Allen's restraining order against Zach? Judge Judy. Now, she called Zach personally and told him that the restraining order had been revoked. "Someone should notify you this afternoon."
Don't ignore it, Judge Judy said, she was looking for a reason.
Therefore, Zach was not given time to be surprised that Allen had revoked the restraining order.
"It's rare to have a phone call with you, so allow me to ask, um, about 'Colt'..."
"A bunch of people just left Grande. You can ask them for confirmation." Zach was not surprised and shook his head slightly. It's not a bad mood, as Saint Sissy pointed out, at least some of the Barton aliens have personally confirmed the attitude of 'Colt' to Zach, which is better than those guys who only dare to harass Sam. .
"Okay." The shapeshifter on the other side of the receiver was quiet, but had no intention of hanging up.
Zach had nothing to do but wait. Just enough to wear down Leo's patience and let him speak directly instead of trying to communicate with our vampire using questions. As you all know, asking questions is usually used as a way to dominate the conversation. It is better to be more conscious when playing this trick with Toledo.
There was a voice on the other side of the receiver, "I have a request. It may be strange, but..." He said in a very hesitant tone, "I hope you can allow it."
"Tell me."
"When my time comes, I hope I can be terminated by Colt."
When Zach raised his eyebrows and waved to Leo, indicating that he needed sex. We can mention that if you really think of Judge Judy, you should also think of the secret of this shapeshifter. There are countless shapeshifters. Unless they themselves clearly show it, no one can know this kind of thing that is the envy of the world. ', a creature that can adapt to any living environment, and a female shapechanger with only a limited number of reproductions, has she exhausted her chance to pass on her offspring
After watching Leo leave the office, Zach spoke again, "Why?"
"No reason. I just heard that 'Colt' is a weapon that can kill existence. I live in ever-changing ways. I don't want to be killed by an ugly corpse that I have hidden for many years, mocking my existence. trace."
Zach frowned, "'Colt' is not that magical. If your existence disappears completely, you will still be a corpse, and your secret will still be exposed in the end."
"It doesn't matter. At least I heard that even the Banshee couldn't see the death caused by 'Colt'. A corpse like that can't give others any clues that I lived. This is what I want."
"What's the point." Zach frowned more and more, "Maybe you think it's ridiculous, but I said, I also enjoy the existence of a judge who is grateful to me personally. I will know that Judge Judy lived clues."
"If you enjoy it, keep it for yourself, immortal guy." It seemed like a mockery, but it didn't seem to be the case. It's quite interesting to say, isn't it? Species with countless forms and capable of adapting to any environment have limits on their lifespan and even the number of reproductions. However, a certain race whose food is so limited that it is almost incomprehensible to normal people is immortal and can make whatever it wants. Descendants.
The voice in the receiver became impatient, "This is just a simple request, yes, or no yes."
Zach thought for a moment, "Okay, I promise, I hope it won't be recently."
"Haha, don't worry, I'm also going to win the mayor's 'Best Judge' trophy in a few years. Goodbye."
Zach put down the phone. To be honest, Zach didn't expect that in order to build momentum for Grande, there would be such a small splash among the fluctuations caused by the Barton alien race with the use of 'Colt'.
Zach rang the summoning bell. Naturally, he had to ask the question about the shapeshifters, so he said, "Jin..."
It was Leo who pushed in the door interruptingly. His patience was gone. "There is an eternal existence, and there will be an instantaneous stop! This world! Based on the continuous and continuous advancement of time! 'Colt'!" Didn't create death!" Leo patted his chest hard, snapping, "Me! What am I?! 'Colt' created something that is the opposite of me!"
Zach looked at Leo for a while, then turned away and continued to pat the summoning bell, "Jin. Come up here."
It seems that it is not something that can be understood at once, so just leave it alone and slowly understand it. (..)
