Saturday. Vertex 23S. Fastest update
In order to better witness James' proposal, Louise dug out the second-hand camera she had bought because of Matthew, and said to Zach: "Don't worry, I will film the whole process, and you can participate in James's immersive experience." In the midst of a major turning point in my life~”
"Already involved." Zach was just playing along with Louise's joke, "When he yelled 'Why didn't you call the police' at you in Grande."
Louise smiled so brightly that she sat down on Little Pink and went to the North District with the two girls.
What needs to be told is that the two main tasks today were to accompany the teenagers to watch the football game and Grande's funeral. Louise chose the former. Yes, Zach stayed and worked at Grande passively. If Zach had a choice, he wouldn't want to have any contact with Hannah.
But as things turned out, Louise said two reasons that Zach had to admit:
First, James asked Zach to attend his proposal, which could only be because James needed an interracial element. By the way, no one thinks that James cherishes Zach as a friend and needs his friend Zach to participate in important moments in his life, right? ? Tell me, no one is that naive!
Two, Zach needs to get used to hosting a guy like Hannah. If you think it is a wonderful thing for Grande to meet a human from the west who is curious and confused about the 'Toledo' clan to entrust the funeral. Then, wait until Zach goes to settle in the west. I can responsibly tell you that this wonderful thing will flood like a tide... No, the moisture will stick to Zach like a slippery mold. Zach needs exercise.
So, today’s division of labor in Grande is like this.
First, he waited until Old Hank began to impatiently ask Zach, "When will the relatives come?"
Zach went back to his office to make a phone call.
When planning the funeral, Hannah left her contact information. While Zach was turning over the numbers, Frank was holding a bottle of blood and smelling the blood that Siris sent today. Since every time Siris sent blood, it challenged everyone's understanding of food, Zach didn't even ask Siris what kind of blood it was. Now looking at Frank's interested look, "Do you like the blood this time?"
Frank frowned, "No." He continued to smell, "But I think I need to like the blood this time." There was annoyance on his face.
Zach couldn't understand this. He found the number, started dialing, and asked casually, "Why?"
"This is the blood of Indians." Frank glanced at Zach, "There are not many ingredients, but there is definitely the blood of wizards in it."
Zach suddenly opened his mouth, "As the ancestor of Sabbat Lesembula, you must like to eat the blood of Indians."
Frank also clicked his tongue, "If this wasn't the blood sent by your Sires, I would think it was my dear son's blood, deliberately used to test my blood!" He said this gloomily.
Understandable, for the Sabbat, Indian blood is politically correct food. Are you a vampire? Then you must like Indian blood!
Anyway, Zach was waiting to be connected and could talk to Frank, "I should ask Siris where the blood came from." He shrugged, "Even wizards have started to trade their own blood~ I believe many people do this kind of thing (Position), everyone will be interested~"
Frank raised his eyebrows and was reminded by Zach, "No need to bother." He raised his head and emptied the blood bottle in his hand.
At the moment when Frank's face immediately turned painful, Zach's call came through.
The other party got ahead of Zach and introduced himself: "There are no vacancies in hotel xxx. Please find another place to stay. Thank you."
Zach was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said before the other party hung up, "This is the Grande Funeral Home. I need to confirm with the brother and sister in room number xx about their father's funeral."
"Oh, wait a minute."
Zach waited, looked at Frank when he had time, and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
Frank seemed unable to answer. He leaned to the corner and curled up, raising his hand to ask Zach not to communicate with him for the time being.
The caller replied, "They moved."
Zach reacted for a moment, "Moved."
"Well, they moved out yesterday." Before Zach asked, "I don't know where they moved to."
"Okay, thank you." It was obviously pointless to argue with the other party, so Zach hung up the phone.
Looking at Frank again, it will probably take a while to recover. Zach was going to go downstairs to discuss with Old Hank.
In Zach's funeral career, he has never encountered a client who commissioned a funeral to disappear on the spot. Hope... old Hank has met. Hehe, hehe, Old Hank, he must have held many funerals without living people attending~Old Hank is the cleanup man~
"What?!" Old Hank's reaction made Zach a little disappointed.
But to be honest, Zach didn't know what he was expecting, "Then what should we do now? Wait?"
Old Hank glanced at the hearse that had been waiting in the backyard for a long time. All the living area employees in the car were looking at this side without exception.
"Have the siblings paid?"
"The deposit." Zach answered honestly, "The funeral expenses are all covered."
"No more waiting!" Old Hank made a decision and waved to the backyard, "Let's go!" He didn't forget to glare at Zach, "It's time to work for nothing again!"
What's more, Grande has never done a free job. However, if Old Hank wants to scold Zach in front of the employees, then let him show off. Zach doesn't care.
"You go first, I will continue to wait here." He looked at the time and said, "The process has reached the farewell ceremony. The brother and sister and I haven't arrived yet, so we will go directly to the burial ceremony."
"Do I need your teaching?!" Old Hank left.
Watching the funeral procession leave, Zach stood on the back porch for a while, because 'an old friend' was coming~
It was a full moon cycle, and Zach could smell Benjamin approaching.
Patton Alpha's appearance is very... ordinary. He walked into the Grande with his slippers on, ignoring Zach who was standing in the back porch asking him to keep smiling, and walked directly into the warehouse that originally belonged to him, "Don't pay attention to me, I'm just here to get something."
This was said to the two women who now live here. Miley and Murphy.
Some people may be curious about how these two women came to live together. This is just... short.
Miley: "What would you do if the Sabbat decided to treat the Assamites in your midst as a threat?"
Murphy: "With Zach, we Assamat will eliminate the threat first."
Miley: "I like you, let's be friends."
Murphy: "Okay."
As expected, the new friends ignored Benjamin. Benjamin took the key to the south warehouse and went directly to the warehouse.
Zach watched Benjamin open the warehouse and walk in, curled his lips, and trotted over. After entering the warehouse, he watched Benjamin holding his chin and looking at Grande's second-hand car inventory, with a speechless expression on his face, "What are you doing?"
"Choose an incoming truck." Benjamin answered.
"Won't you buy a new car?"
Benjamin looked indifferent, "Shouldn't you say, 'Why don't I give you one,' brother."
Well, at least I know Benjamin is here to cause trouble.
Zach stood in front of Benjamin and asked sincerely, "What did I do to offend you again?"
Benjamin glanced at Zach and began to roll up his sleeves.
Just as a precaution, Zach also started rolling up his sleeves.
Benjamin watched Zach copy his movements, snorted, and then stretched out his exposed arm in front of Zach.
It was good too, Zach hadn't looked at Benjamin's hairy ass in a long time. After making amends, Zach asked again, "What do I want to see?"
Benjamin ruffled the hair on his arms.
Zach looked again, "Oh, pinholes." He frowned and glanced at Benjamin's expression, "Pinholes made of silver needles." The proof is that the healing speed does not match the self-healing ability that werewolves 'inherited' from vampires. .
Zach knew what Benjamin was angry about, "You are helping the fallen angel." Zach was speechless. It took more than a week for Benjamin to react. It took more than a week for Benjamin to become angry.
Benjamin put down his sleeves and pointed to a car, "I want this one."
Zach watched Benjamin get into the car and seemed to be preparing to drive away directly. The communication between the Grande brothers has become so thin. Zach is a little... sad.
Give it a try, even if it will continue to annoy Benjamin, it would be good to talk more~
"Is it expensive? Your blood?" Zach looked up at Benjamin who was already in the car.
Benjamin didn't answer, stepped on the accelerator, and hit Zach... It can't be said that Benjamin bumped into Zach. Zach himself was standing in the direction of others.
Zach didn't hide, and jumped directly onto the bumper of the car, lying on the window, "I'm still a little curious about the werewolf blood trade in the middle of the country ~ tell me about it ~"
The employees who stayed behind at Grande watched their boss get out of Grande against the front of a truck, and then exploded. Someone left Grande and headed west, probably to report a message to Old Hank.
The small bumps on the gravel road really made Zach feel good.
Benjamin, who was holding the steering wheel, watched helplessly as Zach, who was blocking his field of vision, gradually became disheveled under the close contact through the car window. Have you all learned about friction
Probably because the picture was too disturbing, Benjamin opened the passenger door with an annoyed look.
As the truck crossed Route 27, Zach disappeared from the window and sat in the passenger seat. While rubbing his face that was deformed by the car window, he was arranging the messy and wrinkled clothes, "Are you feeling better?" Zach asked.
"You can make me feel better if you bleed." Benjamin was very straightforward.
"Okay, it's fair." Zach nodded. Fairness means that Benjamin's blood was drawn because of Zach's entrustment to Mokavi. Then, equally, if he wants to calm down Benjamin's anger, Zach will also have to bleed. " Why don't I imitate some blood and put it in our ancestors' office, and while you are building a blood network for vampires to use for food, you are also building a network for humans to buy vampire blood?"
Benjamin turned his head and glanced at Zach. As expected, there was a tacit understanding between the brothers, "Establishing the sale of vampire blood in Barton? Then what is the difference between us and the Sabbat?"
As you can imagine, although Benjamin did not participate in the exercise of Westerners' power to purchase vampire blood after the Massa Harbor disaster, Benjamin's views in this regard are consistent with Zach's.
This progress made Zach very satisfied and said, "Do you know where the funeral Grande is going to be held today is from?"
"I don't care." Benjamin tilted his head, very.
"A bunch of brothers and sisters from the west." Zach made a full face, "They came here to be buried, so that their father could safely pass the earthbinder period~"
Although Benjamin didn't respond, he gave an instinctive expression on his face. It is a sigh that the Westerners’ world view is complete.
Zach continued, "The composition of Barton's population is becoming more and more mixed. It is always good for you to prepare." Zach patted Benjamin on the shoulder, "It must be better than what happened after a group of western citizens. Barton is running around asking for a universal cure."
Benjamin stopped looking at the road and looked sideways at Zach's hand on his shoulder, "Take it away." It's so cold...
Zach took it away obediently. After a small setback, Zach was not discouraged~ Of course Zach still had tricks up his sleeve.
Remember the habit of Alphas and Vampires riding in the same car
Zach turned on the radio and looked directly for the music station. Regarding the topic of music preferences, with Zach’s strong conversational skills, he will definitely be able to cut into the topic of brothers at this time~
Zach did find the bandstand. But it was a little different than Zach expected. Zach couldn't understand the language in the song. "Republic's music program?" Zach curled his lips, "There are not enough TV channels, and even the radio federation has introduced it?"
Zach was laughed at by Benjamin, "Idiot." He said without mercy, "Go to Newton and try to search for Barton's radio station. Huh, even imported it. Human technology is not powerful enough to receive broadcasts from the other side of the world."
Zach glanced at Benjamin, forget it, as long as Benjamin is happy, "How is Maitreya's business?"
"Hmph, what do you care about."
"Just ask. At Chapman's funeral yesterday, Director Cologne came to apologize to me, saying that he had misunderstood the legality of our firm." Everyone just understands the positions of all parties in this sentence. I won't say more. "Those alien commissions you made will probably not attract the attention of the police, but Maitreya." Zach shook his head, "Anyway, it was smuggling. It would not be good if the government of the Republic traced it. ”
Benjamin twitched the corner of his mouth, obviously agreeing with Zach's reminder, but he must have an attitude, "Why, are you hoping that this will happen?"
"Benjamin." Zach was helpless. There was no need to show his grievance on his face. Zach knew that Benjamin knew how worried he was, "I'm really, really sad now."
Benjamin didn't give in, "If you're sad, you have to go to my place first and have blood drained." Oh, Benjamin remembered it clearly.
Forget it, Zach gave up and leaned on the backrest of the passenger seat to look at the flat, uneven scenery in the southern area. Worried about Grande's customers arriving at Grande at this time? No. Zach thought Frank would be happy to tell the siblings from the West that the funeral had begun. Even if Frank doesn't say anything, there are still a bunch of employees in the living area.
Let Zach feel the scenery, Hannah really made it to Grande at this time.
"I'm waiting for Tori..." she changed her words, "Mr. Grande." Hannah declined Frank's invitation to take her to church, "Brother can just stay at the church."
Frank informed, "Your brother didn't show up either."
"Uh, it doesn't matter. I'm waiting for Mr. Grande."
