James finally put down the phone, because his phone was too advanced, and the small flashing indicator light was announcing that the call was over. James couldn't listen to the hang-up tone in the receiver and continue to pretend that Zach was still there.
Well, this is not a voice that expresses how much James misses Zach, it’s just that James doesn’t want to face what’s in front of him…
"What did he say?" Kate continued to ask, "What did he say about the criminals who moved into the Grand?"
"Not criminals!" As soon as James raised his voice, he immediately lowered his voice, "Those are not criminals, just like the report written by your colleague, 'people who have re-entered society'..." It was difficult for his eyes to stay on Kate.
"Written? This is the most typical official release. If you think it is a 'news report', huh, I have nothing to say."
That's why James can't keep his eyes on Kate. The Kate who used to look at her with admiration and admiration, now looks at her with eyes that are... You can make up your own mind.
"If you want to know what he said so much, why don't you go to him and go to Grande!" James went directly to the bathroom. It was still very early, not the time James usually woke up, and the sun was just rising in the east.
When you go to the bathroom, you don't go to the bathroom to wake up your body after a night's rest, but to invigorate your body and mind after a hard night's work. James didn't sleep all night.
From the time he returned from get off work until midnight, James was alone sorting out the large packages and various hunting equipment that were sent to his door. During the process of sorting out, James was accompanied by complicated emotions. He knew where the equipment came from. Would he not read the article written by his girlfriend
And James also knew why his girlfriend suddenly wrote such an article, so he felt mixed.
This is complicated, and it sets the stage for the rest of the night.
When James was stuffing all kinds of large hunting equipment into the attic with a sore back, he was shocked to realize that it was late at night and Kate had not come back yet.
The brief worry just added a touch of seasoning to the complex emotions. When Kate came back, she was holding a sample of today's newspaper from Barton Daily.
Yes, James was lucky enough to see the freshest today's newspaper before the citizens of Barton. However, Kate, who came back, and James, who had mixed emotions, were not focused on 'the cultural feast that Barton had been waiting for', right
"I'm going to ask? I'm going to Grande? Haha." Kate, holding her arms, moved her eyes along with James, as if to express, 'Listen, I don't want to say this a second time.' "I Never set foot in that monster house again! Never!"
In his mind, Louise's words about security, about James cutting off Kate's ability to gain a true sense of security, were like evil spirits, haunting James. Therefore, the sound of the door closing is a bit loud. Bang!
Then, bang!
The door was opened, "Did you slam the door on me just now?!"
The two pairs of eyes stared at each other.
James was about to speak, but was preempted.
Kate, "You're starting to hate me staying here?" The hand holding her arm began to turn white, and her voice was unstable due to the force, "You don't want me to live here anymore??" Her eyesight began to shift with a flicker.
Kate is shaking in her sight? Not sure. James' eyes that were too tired and bloodshot could not clearly see the expression of the person in front of him, but the abnormal trembling of the voice... entangled James' sense of security, "No! No!! I, I just tired… "
The flickering eyes returned to James, and the sudden tenderness made people feel chilled in the heart, "Oh, haha, I was just kidding..." He started to squeeze the shaving cream for James, "Sorry, I kept you up all night. , you, you should understand, I, I am a reporter, when I see the news that I have questions about, I just ask to the end."
Is this explanation enough? It's enough. As long as this topic ends, anything will do! James closed his eyes and felt the cold hand that began to rub his face.
Most of the time, sudden and persistent silence is not a good thing. But here, as if needed, Kate is holding a razor.
James raised his white chin, looked at himself in the mirror, and then looked at Kate's extreme caution in the mirror, which made the cold place even colder. Because of the cold, James closed his eyes, made a decision, and spoke, "I stuffed the hunting equipment that was sent to me in the attic."
There was an obvious brief pause as the blade slid on the face, "Haha, that's right. It's a gift, I guess. Those shops thanked me for writing that article."
Those were not gifts, at least not the ones delivered to James. The delivery guy stood in front of James' door and took the money before leaving. But James was not prepared to pursue such a small matter... "It's useless." He said something strange.
Before explaining this strange statement, let us be clear that James should pursue this little matter because the free portion was sent to the Allen Funeral Home and finally locked up in the south side warehouse of the Grand... James's lack of accountability caused him to miss this matter.
"What?" Kate raised her other free hand to steady the razor that was already on James' neck.
"Those equipments are useless! They are of no use to anyone!" Now that she has decided, she no longer cares about whether the other party can bear it. She must accept it, right
"Vampires have the ability to heal themselves. Although the equipment you choose is all equipment that causes large amounts of bleeding..." Remember, it is what James told Kate (James' dagger) that causes large-scale bleeding, "but it is useless against vampires!" They can heal themselves! Quickly!”
The trembling was uncontrollable, so Kate simply gave up shaving James, and the hands holding each other continued to turn white.
"It's useless against other alien races! Needless to say, the soul alien races, any weapons against entities are useless! Others, either their strength or speed exceeds that of humans, these things are useless! Or they have special abilities! Like being able to transform into anything Human shapeshifters! Shoot at the shapechangers, and you are shooting at ordinary people! You will be the one committing the crime!"
not enough.
"Even if you plate all those equipment with silver! It's useless!" James forcibly took Kate's arm and looked closely at him. "You can do it! You have tried your best to achieve the best results." It’s just to make them (foreign races) injured, bleed, and weakened! But they (foreign races) can kill you instantly, easily! You won’t have any chance!!”
"So you just did nothing??" Kate also stared at James closely, "Just like those people in Grande that day!! Howling pitifully in fear! Waiting for the memory to be wiped out by a vampire in the end! "The corners of his eyes were twitching, "Is that what you want?! You want that vampire Louise to erase my memory! Then, I will still be that ignorant woman with a longing for Detective James Lance! And completely I don’t know…” He started to break away from James’ hand, “I am the ridiculous monkey in your eyes!!”
Never let go! "Why don't you understand?!" James just wanted Kate to accept, "What you are worried about now are just meaningless things! You are here! By my side! You are at peace..." Just let that bother you. The 'security' he felt was expressed in his mouth, "Ouch!!"
James curled up on the floor like a fresh lobster.
A trivial clattering sound like the wind ended with the opening and closing of the iron door.
"Kate, Kate!" James twisted his legs and moved out of the bathroom. No one here responded to him.
better'. The gun on the hanger was missing.
Everyone knows the urinary nature of this story. If I want to describe the beginning of a new day, I would be sorry if it is not comprehensive because we have memorized so many names...
We looked at Grande's Good Beginning, James' Bad Beginning, and let's go see A Strange Beginning.
Madison was signing a check for Grande. At yesterday's funeral, the client seemed very satisfied. In addition to the expected remuneration, he also gave a tip. She said it was because it was inconvenient for Miss Grande Louise to take care of them and she made a special trip to work outside. Thanks for negotiating funeral details.
After a slight hesitation, Madison rubbed off the check and wrote a new one with half the amount. "I deserved it!" Madison affirmed to himself in the air and tucked the check at the end of today's work report. .
Then he adjusted his mood and opened the work report. After checking it once, you can hand it over directly to Matthew who comes to pick it up.
It's a bit early, but Madison is more excited today. How should I put it, something good is happening.
Cremation has been suspended for a long time, right? Cut your losses. Funeral homes don't have the habit of preparing things for people to steal. But Madison, who knew it was the aliens, did a very smart little thing. Every day, he would prepare some fuel in his inventory and put it there. The next day, the thing disappeared, and he knew that Zach had not 'lived up' to his 'expectations', and that inaction still did not solve the problem. If the things are still there, it’s time to give Zach a little red flower. This funeral industry boss has finally done something.
And today is the day to give Zach a red flower. Stockpiles of fuel, not gone. The mill can resume normal operations.
So excited. Hope it lasts.
the phone is ringing.
Madison picked up the answer and said, "Grand points..."
"It's me~" It's West, "Biscuit~ Say hi to Madison~... Meow~"
Madison smiled, "Haha, do you really get up so early every day?"
"An old lady with only cats for company~ I don't need so much sleep time~" She was probably teasing the cat, but the voice in the receiver was a bit far away, "You answered the call very quickly today, and you got up so early?"
"Oh! Mill cremation will resume today." Madison didn't mind sharing the good news with her friends in advance, "Get ready early."
"Congratulations~ Haha, your pressure will be less now~"
"Hehehe." No need to respond.
"Want to know what I'm doing~" This is an encouraging way to ask.
"Haha, okay, what are you doing?" He instantly regretted what West could do, and Madison tensed up.
"I'm taking a break~drinking tea, reading a newspaper or something~" the voice in the receiver resumed, and there was a slight sound of newspaper flipping, "I just wrote a very, very, hehe, tense plot. Let's change it. Feeling."
"What, what a tension method." Please ignore Madison's inexplicable dryness of mouth.
"Well, our heroine, isn't this journalist lady delusional..." He was really just discussing the plot in a calm tone, "Have you ever seen those things about such people? The first to suffer is always those around them. People, haha, I went to the library yesterday to check a lot of information ~ So, I let... "
"No one died!!" I blurted out for some reason. After saying this, Madison began to look for water.
"Uh... No, I remember you emphasized many times, don't write about dead people, haha, so don't worry. It's just a quarrel."
James wanted to ask who it was with, but, hey, seriously, couldn’t you guess? Forget it, concentrate on drinking water, adjust your mood, and then, "You called, yes, is there any plot you want to discuss?"
"No." He simply said, "I'm quite satisfied. It's in line with what Teacher Morris always emphasizes, well, what's going on, accumulation of emotions, and then explosion, drama. Haha, let's not mention Morris. I called because I Reading the newspaper, have you read today's newspaper? "Carnival?" Grande contributes to society? The latter, "Grande houses people who just came out of prison. Did you know before?"
Madison's eyes twitched and she started looking for the newspaper. Before she could get it back, she said gloomily, "I don't know!"
"Haha, don't be stressed again. It was written in the newspaper that it is a newly built living area in Grande. It just fits the complex community structure that the government intends to help those people." I still remember the unconventional single living area in Grande. People, collectives, and families are mixed in the pattern. "The community correction project will only be implemented in Grande and will not affect the mill."
In front of West, Madison didn't need to pretend, and exhaled, "That's good."
"This reminds me of something~" West said with a smile in his tone, "I'm wondering how the heroine, who already has a deep grudge against Grande, will react after knowing this."
"Uh..." Madison was a little nervous, "Let's just write a story, um, no, don't have anything to do with current events, how about it?" I don't know why, but I just have an ominous premonition.
"Good stories always come from real life, Teacher Morris said. Haha, Madison, you have to admit, it makes sense~"
How to refute? Madison didn’t know, so, “Well, how are you going to write it?”
"Aren't I discussing it with you? I haven't thought about it yet."
Madison sensed an opportunity, "In this story, the heroine will eventually go to the Allen Funeral Home, right? Why not..." Remember the story West said? A person who has woken up is trying to wake up another person. Still Sleeping, a crazy story. "Why not, ignore how the reporters react and focus on how Allen Funeral reacts?" The opportunity, for Madison, has always been to get Allen to stop crushing the mill! Never changed!
"Well, that makes sense~ Haha, I knew it was right to discuss it with you~ I have an idea~ The break is over~ I'll write it down and come back to you~" He hung up. (..)
