Derek didn't want to dwell too much on the issue of human mortality, and his face quickly darkened, "The details of these surgeries were not written in the newspaper. They are very detailed. This Maya..."
Zach's answer is very interesting, "Don't encourage her. It's one thing to be determined and talented, but it's another thing to be mentally and physically distracted in adolescence. Apex 23S. The fastest updated." It's so vague, yet so appropriate, forcing human beings. The brain is forced to come up with a reasonable logic to understand the situation. Zach smiled at Derek, "High school girl." The smile quickly turned away, fixed, and continued to read the information in front of him.
Derek felt like he wanted to say something but couldn't. He twitched the corners of his mouth irritably, "The patient is her teacher?"
See, the brain is already making up logic.
"Teacher Butt Chin." We know the existence of Zach very well. Some people misunderstand that Zach is the guy who will put a flower next to him to cheer up. "She and a bunch of Alice's friends gave this teacher Su's appearance." No. Haha, of course, when this teacher still looks very healthy. You missed these children. If you had come earlier, they would all be here." One flower is not enough, Zach will plant a forest, "For two days in a row , because of this Teacher Su, your patient's condition has worsened, and these children have been worried for two days."
This story has been mentioned many times, the so-called wonderful sense of responsibility of adults when facing minors. Derek frowned and said something like, "Their teacher's illness isn't because they gave the teacher a bad nickname."
"High school student." Forest. Zach tilted his head slightly, with a fixed smile on his side face.
Derek pursed his lips and asked unexpectedly, "Who are you? Are you Maya's guardian? Where are her parents?"
"Oh? Are you curious about this kind of thing?" Zach turned the page again, and the conversation did not affect Zach at all. But, with the way he kept reminding Derek that he was dual-tasking, sooner or later Derek realized that Zach was seeing things that no civilian should be able to see.
"Uh, no. I just." Derek shook his head, "I just don't like what Maya just expressed, uh, world view?" Derek twitched the corner of his mouth and looked at Zach seriously, "I'm very I'm surprised that she can speak with that kind of medical knowledge at her age, and her judgment is correct. Under normal circumstances, with the patient's physical condition, there is really nothing the doctor can do. Completely remove the pancreas... "
Zach raised his hand and simply said, "I'm not a doctor."
Derek frowned, "She is very talented. But her ideas are a bit, uh, extreme. She seems to hate the profession of doctor." This is Derek's opinion expressed by an adult to a minor, " This conflicts with her talent."
"Are you talking about Maya's argument about death?" Zach thought of something interesting, and now he was really laughing, "It's an inevitable process?"
"Well, it is indeed inevitable, but it doesn't mean that people can't do something to delay it." Derek looked a little irritable.
You can understand that Derek didn't come to Grande to talk to Zach about the growth of a girl he met for the first time. But for some reason, he just couldn't let go. His doctor's ethics force him to stand up and refute certain extreme remarks after hearing them. The fact that Maya is a growing girl makes this rebuttal even more responsible. So it feels irritating to go against the original intention, and the question itself is also irritating. This is superposition.
Zach raised his eyebrows and jumped over a cliff, "What if we can eliminate death? For example, you people... we humans have discovered eternal life. How about that?"
Derek actually subconsciously said, "Tsk. I'm not in the mood to joke with you."
Well, Zach jumped back from the cliff again, "Hahaha, I said girl, it will be fine after this period of time..." Zach was stunned for a moment, withdrew his smile and raised his eyebrows, because of the information in front of him. Content worthy of a vampire appears on.
A note that shouldn't be there, super ugly handwriting 'Don't think I don't know where Wes is going! 'James's, uh, message,' and don't think I don't know you don't know how to look through these papers! 'See Zach's attitude every time he gets a police document from James. Really, this is the first time that Zach has read the information so seriously, but I know you will definitely read this one! Grande's funeral! '
If James was right in front of Zach, Zach would never mind retorting, "I watched it all." But now, let's just think that James got it right. The message is not over.
'If you really want to help! Bring someone useful! Call any one of Alice, Maya, and Newton over (the Banshee), I don’t care! Don't stick around with ink and act like you're trying to help! you have not! You can only fool simple people like Wes, you can't fool... '
Zach was offended and had no need to read it. Shaking his head, he pulled out the dirty document, crumpled it, tore it to pieces, and threw it into the backyard where Evan was sweeping the floor.
Zach ignored Evan's hostile gaze and continued to lower his head...
"What is this??" Ah~ Finally, Derek finally realized the document that Zach had been looking at. "This is..." He reached out and tried to take one, "The document from the Barton Police Department..."
Zach didn't stop him and let Derek take the portion in front of him. It was okay, there was more.
After just a quick flip, Derek's face turned pale.
The atmosphere instantly reached a freezing point because Derek said, "Yes, did you kill these people??"
Zach glanced at Derek and said nothing. Put a flower or a forest, it depends.
Derek's brain has probably never worked normally since he entered Grande, or in other words, it worked too normally. "When the time is right... this happened to you, while you were hiding with Cozier." Something…”
"Lunch is ready." Maya came out and said.
Of course Zach wouldn't move. "Old Hank went to the cemetery. I packed his lunch and I sent it to him."
Derek stood up, clutching the police documents in his hands, "Answer me!"
Don't worry about Zach's response for now, the others' reactions are more interesting. Maya rolled her eyes and returned to the house. Evan, who was sweeping the floor, was staring at this side with burning eyes.
Zach kept facing each other in silence, and Evan's eyes remained on Derek until Maya came out again carrying a thermos bucket.
Zach took Old Hank's lunch, seemed to think about it, and decided that it was neither a flower nor another thing in the forest, "Why do you want to stay in Barton? What do you want?"
It's the catch-all question, 'What exactly do you want?' '
"Now I just want to answer!" Derek at least had a firm expression on his face, "Are you..." In other words, his expression was firm and he couldn't say the words again, so he waved the document in his hand vigorously.
"If I say it's not the case this time, will you be, uh, happy by luck?" Zach looked at Derek and shrugged on the bench holding the thermos bucket in a loose posture, "Yes, I used luck. Words, you also know it can only be a fluke. Because you stayed in Barton, one time, you will not be so lucky. You will take away from your brother, me, a document that should not appear in a funeral home, When asked again, I would say, yes, that's Grande's job. What about you?"
Derek's pupils were constricting. This is how people are, many times we act without thinking clearly. Derek is an example at this time. Come to think of it, did he really want an answer from Zach
Seeing that Derek was speechless, Zach shook his head, stood up with Old Hank's lunch, and looked at Evan in the backyard, "What are you looking at."
Evan's cheeks twitched and he turned back to the living area.
Zach ignored it and didn't plan to talk to Derek anymore. Basically, the purpose of letting Derek come to Grande this time has been achieved.
If we compare the last time Derek came to Grande to look for his father, the Grande he felt, and this time he saw Zach's fake smile, Maya's questioning, the sweeper's eyes, and the questioning he saw here. Hank's question was not answered directly, and old Hank disappeared without even wanting to show his face.
Do you feel it
Derek, perhaps, was described in the newspapers as a 'homecoming' guy. But his home did not welcome him back.
Zach gave the last 'advice', "Steve told me you were looking for him." Zach used a calm tone as he walked past Derek, "He made a joke. If you start asking, you shouldn't ask." If you have something, he will have to hire someone to kill you." He patted Derek and said, "Don't forget it, it's just a joke."
If it's a joke, don't say it out loud. Zach's 'sincerity' couldn't be more full.
An accident happened.
Derek grabbed the thermos bucket from Zach's hand and said, "Where is Hank! I'll deliver it to him!!"
You can feel Zach's true psychology from the fact that Derek easily took the thing away from Zach's hand, "Don't bother you." He reached out to take back the thermos bucket that was taken away.
Being pushed away, "No! I'll go!"
Now that we know Zach’s true psychology, we can ignore Zach’s helpless and irritable face at this time, and his continued attempt to grab the thermos bucket hidden behind Derek, “Don’t cause trouble for yourself. , Derek. You still have a chance, the chance to be that truly lucky Grande son. Don’t miss it.”
"In the cemetery, right?" Derek began to retreat under Zach's hands, and stepped back from the back porch, "Hank is in the cemetery, right! Which cemetery?!"
We continued to ignore Zach's irritated face, "Derek, stop being childish. You are older than me. You are my brother. Can you please be reasonable?"
It is necessary for Zach to emphasize the 'brother' thing at this time. reason? You wouldn't think that Old Hank avoided Derek's arrival and went to the cemetery just to chat with the employees. Ah. Who is Derek, who is old Hank. Do you still remember the first time Derek came to Grande? Zach gave old Hank the choice of whether to accept Derek!
Brother, it will be the focus of a certain character.
"Father's grave..." Derek's voice suddenly became weak, "Hank must be over there... right?"
Zach shook his head, looking away as if he couldn't say anything. Of course, we can just ignore it.
Derek stopped struggling with Zach and turned to the west.
"You can't get in." Zach shouted weakly from behind, "The security won't let outsiders in."
The tiny needle tip touched the round balloon.
"I am Grande's son!! This is also my home!!" Derek glared at Zach almost ferociously, "I am not an outsider!!"
enough. The goal was basically achieved before, but now, it is completely achieved.
Remember yesterday, when Zach told Steve that he would deal with Derek, his mind went blank. Can anyone guess that this blank space has a complete plan and purpose? Yes, Mrs. Quinn's call yesterday.
The Barton family has already set its sights on Derek. Recall what Mrs. Quinn said. Grande's instability has a controllable target, and Derek is this target.
This has eliminated the possibility for Zach to continue to think of ways to get rid of Derek. Isn't it? Zach needs the Barton family to be satisfied with thinking that they can control Derek and completely trust Grande. This is a huge good thing for Grande in the future and now.
Then all that's left is to deal with the relationship between Derek, a civilian, and the gray professional attributes. What Steve is worried about is the unbalanced restrictive relationship between non-commissioners and gray professionals.
And just now, it was solved. A word from Derek, Grande, is my home too. Can it be received? Grande's son, this identity is a restriction. Zach forced this person who could have chosen a civilian identity to stuff himself into this identity.
And Derek also realized what he said, and his face instantly became bloodshot. What did he say! He said that he was the son of a family of probably extremely vicious criminals!
Zach would not give Derek a chance to go back on his words, "The answer is yes, no." After hearing what Zach said, "You asked me these..." He pointed to the side of the bench and the one that everyone might find funny was still occupied by Derek. Holding the document in one hand, "Did I do it, or your real question is, did Grande do it. My answer is, no. I told you, Grande is not entirely a criminal, we Don’t steal, rob, or kill, we will handle the rest.”
Is this sophistry? No, listen to Zach.
"I guess what you care about is who Grande is handling the crime for. This time, you are really lucky. This time, Grande is helping the police." Zach said on Grande's gray property. Added a shiny rainbow. Of course, we should understand that manipulating people's hearts is what he is best at.
Zach turned around and wanted to go back to the house. He said that he would not give Derek a chance. "As Grande's son, you should know this, right." He shook his head without wanting to say more, "Go ahead. Old Hank doesn’t like to be hungry.”
