"Poor Evan. Apex 23S. Fastest update." Louise caught the nearest snowflake on the back porch. It did not melt. Louise sighed and blew out a breath, letting the snowflakes return to their companions, "Poor Evan."
"Don't pity him." Zach curled his lips and watched Amelia irritably step over the bowl on the steps of the front porch of the living area and enter the living area, "He doesn't deserve it."
Let’s talk about the current situation.
It's early morning, but thanks to the snowflakes all over the sky, we can't see the sun. Amelia came as Dr. Browning, haha, old Hank didn’t know any other psychiatrist.
Amelia, who had just arrived, did not go directly to see the patients. She first ran to Zach and complained, then gave Zach a note before heading to the employee living area.
When Louise was lamenting her sympathy for Evan, Zach was finishing reading the note. He didn't want to waste his life discussing Evan and handed the note to Louise.
Louise took it and immediately raised her eyebrows, "What does this mean?"
The note was from Ghoul Harrison. It simply said, 'I've commissioned some work from Ancestors, I hope you don't mind.' plus a smiley face.
"It means I don't have to ask what happened to Amelia." Zach shrugged, "Harrison is protecting and fulfilling his girlfriend's wish not to participate in foreign affairs."
"I understand this." Louise shook the note in her hand. This is just a matter of human nature. The content that can be expressed by words is deliberately conveyed with a note. It can only mean that the person who sent the message does not want the recipient to embarrass the messenger~ Isn't this the truth? "I'm asking..." He waved the note again. "Uh, forget it."
Zach smiled at Louise and said nothing. There is nothing to say. Do you still remember the good days of waiting at home for clients? Gone forever~ In contrast, the business of our office seems to be very prosperous~
As for why this is the case, don’t we have a clue? The role that Zach can play in this city has not been fulfilled enough. Oh, from small homeless people, such as Shepard who I don’t know if you remember, to as large as the mayor, the top family in the city in the West End, our vampire Zach, what has he not participated in? It's really enough, it's all clear.
Then looking back at Zumen Law Firm, that is where the market potential is unlimited. Oh, remember that the purpose of our ancestors' office is for foreigners.
Before the mood could start to turn sad, the phone rang. Louise went consciously. Zach continued to watch the snow on the back porch, casually eavesdropping on the treatment in the living area out of spite.
The treatment has not yet started. Amelia is asking Old Hank to prepare a place where neither she nor the patient will be surrounded, and she reasonably asks Old Hank to ensure his personal safety in this space filled with ex-criminals.
What a smooth push. This is irony. Before the treatment started, there was already a commotion in the living area.
Zach's bad taste was satisfied.
Oh, you want to know why old Hank listened to Zach so much this time and really hired a psychiatrist to help Evan? Yes, a psychiatrist is not another reason to bring Derek to Grande.
Simply put, this is a mandatory stipulation in the government's halfway house program contract that Grande is required to maintain good health while supervising, training, and guiding these ex-convicts back into society. Physically, mentally.
"Zach." Louise's voice said, "You need to answer this call."
Zach glanced towards the second floor and already heard that the voice on the receiver was Wes's, but...
Zach glanced at the entrance to the backyard, as if a visitor was coming. The reason why it seems like this is that the Grande family is not the only one on this gravel road in Grande. If the sound of the engine did not stop at the door of Porch's house, it would be Grande's guest.
"Zach," Louise urged.
Zach also heard Wes' urging from the receiver. But Zach shook his head and simply said, "I'm here, they're in the middle. There's no point in urging me." Since it was Wes' call, everyone should already know that it must be about Dale and James. The situation of soldiers. Well, just as Zach said, isn't it? Zach waved his hand directly and said the words to Louise. Louise could tell her, "If the situation is really bad, mind reader, Oz will contact me. "
Zach has to be praised for his prioritization. Even if he has no idea what is happening in the middle, he can confirm who is at the core of the development of events. It's not Wes who blames himself for losing James, it's not the military that General Lance sent to rescue his son, it's not even the kidnapper Dale, it's not even the phantom who found James and Dale after such a long time. He is a mind reader.
When Louise relayed these slightly cold words, Zach was already facing the entrance to the backyard. The guest was Grande's, and he was also a familiar guest who drove directly into the backyard.
Zach looked at Kate in the car window and drove the car directly into the empty warehouse without any expression. Haha, this female reporter actually still remembers that one of the functions of the warehouse is parking.
Now you don’t need to comment on Zach’s cold response to the phone call, because Kate still claims to be James’ real girlfriend. Could Zach not take it seriously
Whether Zach answers the phone or not has no effect on the central government's efforts to save James. But Zach understood that at this time, if he didn't personally 'deal with it', when James returned to Barton completely and safely, James would definitely hate Zach because of what happened now.
Miley List is sipping hot goat's milk at Grande's.
"I'm so glad you're back in Barton." Zach put on his most sincere face and stepped in front of Kate's body as she prepared to enter the house.
Kate looked at Zach with eyes like a dead fish, and the hand holding her shoulder pulled the collar, slightly shaking off the snowflakes that fell on her body from the parking lot to the back porch, "Get out of the way, I am a human, I will cold."
There was movement in the restaurant. It can be expected that a certain young lady with bad living habits put down the dirty cup in her hand and floated over like a fly smelling rotten eggs (the phrase "I am a human being" is very prominent in Grande). .
Zach took two steps back, blocked the door of the restaurant, stopped Miley in the restaurant, and made an invitation gesture to Kate, "Come upstairs to my office?"
Zach could feel Miley blowing air on the back of her own neck, "Who is this?"
When Kate passed by, she glanced at Miley who was trying to break through behind Zach. She was stunned for a moment. She opened her mouth and immediately closed it with an irritated look, and went up the stairs.
Zach waited until Miley disappeared around the corner of the stairs, then turned back and looked at Miley, "Reporter, Kate. Be honest."
Miley instantly looked surprised, "She's Kate?! Oh!" and said excitedly, "Oh!! She's Kate!! I have a lot of good things to say to her..." and then tried to break through Zach again.
There was something wrong with Zach letting her break through. He stood firmly at the door and said, "If you have anything to say, you'd better not cause trouble!"
Miley gave up breaking through Zach, but the surprise on her face did not fade away, "Haha, what are you afraid of~ I want to thank her~"
"I don't know you, so what do you have to thank?" Although Zach refused so firmly, he had to be a little concerned about this 'thank you'. What does Miley mean? Since Zach can't ask here, I, as the narrator of this story, would like to remind everyone.
sense of security. Reporter Kate pretended to be James' girlfriend and fled to Newton for safety because Kate didn't feel safe with James. How could James resolutely bring Miley, a complete stranger, back home from Grande to live together while breaking up with Zach for the second time even though he had never met Miley before? Because, well, everyone should understand that James thinks he can provide a sense of security.
The reminder ends.
"Don't be like this, vampire, I'm a big celebrity now, okay~" Miley actually started to act rogue, although this is a fact, "No one doesn't know me~ the 'star' who shoots adult toy commercials~" referring to herself, and then there was Click straight, "Relax, I just want to talk to her about James~"
That's what Zach was blocking, "Are you serious, you talking about James with James' real girlfriend? You're more, uh, bitch than I gave you credit for."
Miley frowned, in response to her gender and Zach's excessive choice of words, but after a short silence, "Okay, I have to admit, I did deliberately seduce James. But I am an actor, this is It's up to you to evaluate the way I achieve my goal." She took a step back, at least to the distance of a normal conversation, "But you can't stop me from approaching this reporter Kate." Miley smiled, and the emphasis was 'reporter', "Don't you forget, I still have 'good news' that every reporter wants to write about~"
Gee, that family fell down and was reduced to filming adult toy commercials as 'good news'.
Zach knew he couldn't stop it, so his only request was, "Not in Grande." This was the bottom line, don't let James' blood spill in front of Zach.
"Okay!" Miley thought for a while, gave Zach a proud smile, and turned around deliberately and charmingly... Zach didn't bother to look and went upstairs.
Louise was waiting at the door of the office. Although Zach did not answer the phone, Louise obviously thought that there were some situations that Zach needed to know. "Oz brought Dale's brother to intervene, which did not make the situation better. Dale was killing hostages."
Zach only responded, "I heard you." With a smile on his face, he entered the office and changed roles very quickly, "Sorry for coming up a little late, there is something down there..."
She was interrupted by Kate, who was sitting on a chair and already holding a recorder, "Why is that national star in the Grande?" She pointed the switch of the recorder towards Zach so that Zach could see clearly that it was off. Meaning, this is Kate's personal curiosity, not the purpose of her visit.
You know what it's like to burn the candle at both ends, Zach is right now.
But magically, Zach had an answer that could be answered, "She likes vampires. The Lister family has been cooperating with the Sabbat before, you know this." Zach sat down behind the desk and kept smiling, " I am a vampire, and I am currently the vampire with the highest status in the Sabbat among Barton, so she is here."
This answer works very well. Kate's face turned gloomy for a moment before she turned on the recorder. Here comes the topic.
But at the beginning, it was a bit confusing
Kate: "If I apologized in person, would you forgive the media for the offense they had against Grande?"
"What?" Zach looked at the recorder.
Kate had no expression and looked professional. But, the truth may just be that she doesn't want to have any emotions towards Zach, "It's simple, you smashed my camera, then I wrote several reports that were unfavorable to Grande, and now you hate all media practitioners and refuse to accept it." Any media…”
Uh... Zach seems to be starting to understand why Kate is back. He reached out and grabbed it... This was the wrong word, and the other party didn't resist at all. Zach easily took the recorder and turned it off, "Kate? Is this the reason why you returned to Barton? Your superiors forced you to apologize to me? "
"Otherwise." Kate's dead eyes said, "Would I voluntarily come back to this dangerous place? Revisit the most nightmare place in my life, here? See you?"
Remember, that night, James used his mouth to vent everything about the aliens in order to vent for a while, and then all the aliens in Grande showed their truest self, casually playing with and planning those trapped in Grande. Virtue, seeing the future of mankind in 'Hell'. The most exciting part is what James said to Zach after he said everything freely, 'Now, erase her (Kate's) memory. 'ah! No, the best part was when Zach said, 'No' to James' request.
"You know I don't have any ill intentions towards you." Zach waved his hand. If the topic returned to Kate's views on aliens, it would be a dead end. Zach had to find a new entry point, "Why, your superiors are so Want to, uh, interview me?"
"I want to." Kate tilted her head and began to clean the heels of her shoes as if she was bored. If Amelia was not in the living area at this time, she could tell us professionally here that this was a cover-up, an action to cover up her true emotions, "I want to die."
"Why?"
"Hmph!" Probably a sneer that couldn't be controlled, Kate continued to tap her heels.
"I'm not being funny, I'm asking why." Zach said seriously.
"Okay." Kate straightened up and looked directly at Zach, "Are you going to the West to privatize funerals?"
Zach twitched the corners of his mouth.
"You're in the West, huh, do you read newspapers when you're on a business trip?" Kate began to rummage through her bag without Zach's reply, and threw a newspaper that was about as thick as a magazine in front of Zach.
Don't be surprised. The only newspaper we know of that has such a thick paper is the Vega Daily. It's fresh and dated today. I don't know how Kate got it.
Zach looked at the huge headline on the front page, "Mayor (Vega) encourages the privatization of the funeral industry and implements perfect funerals from the east, which also marks the transformation of the Grande in Barton, Massachusetts." Zach counted the page numbers marked in the introduction, and there were actually three editions!
"Congratulations." Kate's dead eyes said, "You are famous. You are so popular outside. How can we, Barton, not hold your star properly?"
Do you know what Zach is thinking now? He inexplicably thought of the conversation he had with Miley yesterday about cameras, actors, and vampires having only one face.
Zach's face began to darken. Sure enough, that ominous premonition happened. Something is indeed going wrong!
this!
Those cussing phone calls at 4 a.m. every day were not Lutresembula’s only outlet. This is the highlight. He is forcing Zach to leave the country. In Miley’s words:
Lutre Sembula is forcibly giving the actor Zachary Toredo a role that will be indelible now and in the future! He wants all the viewers who see Zach's face to think of this classic and not tolerate others!
Lutresembra wants to kill all of Zach's future 'lives'.
"Apology. Not accepted." Zach broke Kate's voice recorder and said, "Don't continue to harass me, reporter."
