It took a long time for Wes to come over, but before Wes came, old Hank, who had been out for almost a whole day, came back. Vertex 23S. Fastest update
He handed Zach a palm-sized bag and said it was what Susan had left. Zach patted it and felt it, and he probably knew what had patted the flour bag. Carrying it, I didn't know where to put it for the time being. "Who is that?" Old Hank brought someone back. Male, middle-aged, strong, quiet.
"Grand's new employee." Old Hank replied, "Go through the onboarding procedures." This was completely a way of informing, and it didn't give Zach much choice.
"Does he have experience in the funeral industry?" Zach just asked casually, and he was already walking to the office to handle the procedures. As for who this guy is, hey, what does old Hank do
But this casual question made Old Hank unhappy, "Do you care?" He was not polite at all.
Zach tilted his head and didn't respond. The living environment of the Grande family is becoming increasingly unfriendly.
Old Hank saw Miley flipping through a book in the office, and his tone became even worse, "Who is this!"
"Liszt's daughter, Mileli Liszt, her friends call her Miley." Zach glanced at Miley while sorting out the employment documents, "Right, Miley." The introduction occupied the first impression, Zach's speaking skills have always been so... annoying, "Miley, this is Hank..."
"No need to introduce me! I don't want to meet your friends!" When Old Hank was so eager to put aside the involvement, Miley raised her eyebrows and said nothing. No one is stupid.
The prepared documents were handed over to Old Hank, "I at least want to know his name." As Zach, who still occupies the position of Grand's master, this is a very reasonable request.
"Dale Walker." Old Hank took the things and left.
"Dale Walker? Who?" Miley was still flipping through the book, probably asking casually.
"I don't know. But he just killed a woman." Pointing to the bag casually placed aside, "These are the things left by the woman."
A look of disgust immediately appeared on Miley's face, "Are you going to take the things and put them here? On the table??"
"Yes, I probably took a look at my girlfriend, but she hasn't come back yet." When Louise will come back depends entirely on the fallen angel.
"Your girlfriend, Louise, right?" It seems that there is a topic that Miley is interested in, the bad kind, "Your girlfriend is your descendant and retains your blood. Humph, don't you feel disgusted? What?"
I remember that when we learned about the ethics of some alien races before, we had a mentality that we could not understand it, but we at least knew that such things existed in the world.
Is an ethical debate coming between humans and vampires? Huh, there's no way Zach would let that happen. Who can convince anyone about this kind of thing, so he slumped down on his office chair with a look of enjoyment on his face, "Let me think about it..."
"Disgusting!!" Miley looked away.
Zach's goal was achieved, and the topic ended. After retracting his pretentious gesture, he turned around and looked out the window at the backyard. Chapman watched with some vigilance as Old Hank arranged a place for Walker. It must have been the instinctive feeling of the police. And Wes, who finally came around from the entrance to the backyard on a motorcycle.
Zach waved to Wes and motioned to come up. Then it was a reminder, after all, he was not the only one waiting for him here, "Wes is here."
Miley immediately put down the book in her hand, wiped her face with both hands, moved her shoulders, dragged a chair to the corner, and sat down with her body bent.
Zach watched Miley getting ready. He didn't want to comment or ask. Anyway, he would see it soon, so he didn't want to ask anything.
Wes probably didn't expect that Zach was not alone. He looked apologetic as soon as he entered the office, "Sorry, the bureau is sorting out the weapons found yesterday..." He saw the back of the man in the corner, so he shut up and looked confused. Look at Zach.
For some strange reason, no matter what Miley wanted to do, Zach didn't want to assist, so he didn't even mention, "Has James returned to the police station?"
"No." Wes withdrew his gaze from the corner, "The North District Police Department called. The South District has no manpower, and the North District is looking for someone."
Zach asked Wes to sit down, "I contacted Mr. Pixar yesterday, and he told me something I wanted to talk to James about."
"Uh." Wes could already tell that Zach was positioning him. He couldn't find James, so he had to do it. "Is it important?"
"I'm not sure." Zach shook his head, and what he said was probably the truth. "Mr. Pickles was attacked before he left Barton. It was so serious that it was Wander who kept him alive..." Miley in the corner made some movement. Listening carefully, "It was Wandel who sent Mr. Pixar out for Barton, and he also stole blood from Sibella..."
"Wes?!" Miley suddenly inserted, and when he turned around, Zach was startled. This girl had only been hunched in the corner for a while. Where did her bloodshot eyes and haggard face come from? ?
Wes was also startled, looking sideways at the haggard woman in the corner, and then looked at Zach in confusion, "Who is she?"
"Wes, is it really you??" Miley stood up and walked towards Wes almost tremblingly, "You, you don't remember me??"
Zach's face fell into disarray, but he remained quiet. If he didn't even understand the situation at hand, Zach wouldn't be able to use his Toledo skills.
"I, uh, I'm supposed to know you?" Weiss was even more confused.
"We met a few years ago, don't you remember?" Miley had already arrived in front of Wes. She seemed to be weak and collapsed, and was supported by Wes, "xx's party? Remember? When we were still in the West. .”
Wes supported Miley with some difficulty, his eyes switching back and forth between Zach and Miley. Zach didn't help Wes at all and stayed quiet.
Weiss could only look like she was trying to remember, and it took her a while to say, "You, you are... Miss Lister!" Weiss actually remembered it! "We were the only two Pattons at that party!"
A smile appeared on the haggard Miley's face, "Yes, yes! You remembered me!" She sighed weakly.
Wes looked at Zach again, the question on his face even more serious. The question was almost written on his face, 'Why is Miss Liszt here with you when that family has been destroyed? '
Zach wanted to answer this question, but was beaten to it.
"Gee, Mr. Grande found me..." It seemed that she had regained her strength, and Miley no longer had to rely entirely on Wes for support. In the gentlemanly spirit that Wes had shown despite not knowing the situation he was in, she got the seat Wes had vacated, "at Lance's house."
"James?" Wes glanced at Zach again, and Zach simply lowered his head and played with his fingers.
"Well. My father is in jail and my mother is missing. The news spread to the west. Human trafficking is a huge scandal. I lost my apartment and my job..." Feeling aggrieved and sad, "I have nowhere to go..." He said, "There is no place for me to go..." He cried, "I remembered that when I was a child, my family had an unused attic in the back street of Liszt, so when I came back, I thought I would hide in that attic for the rest of my life. Already…”
Zach has already made flowers with his fingers and doesn't want the air to be quiet. When he looked up, he realized that Wes and Miley were both looking at him.
'Oh, so now I can talk? '
Even if Zach had no intention of giving Miley any assists, now, he had no chance to create obstacles. Fact, "Yes, when I went to find James, I found her at his house. It looked like she had been living in that place for a while." The garbage that no one had cleaned was still there.
"I'm sorry..." Miley held Wes' arm tightly. In any other situation, it could probably be interpreted as a fragile woman needing a solid arm. "I didn't know that the attic was already Mr. Lance's home. I'm here." I just realized... But, but, I really don’t have anywhere to go..." Upgraded again, "Please, please don’t call the police..."
