Sleep has never been a necessity for vampires. Contrary to normal creatures, sleep in the ordinary sense is just a state that requires extra control to achieve for vampires.
Zach didn't like this state very much. His body's blood flow slowed down, his heart rate dropped, and his senses became dull. If it is just like ordinary people being drunk, it will be nothing. It's just that for vampires, such sluggishness requires extra control to maintain, just like a person who stays up late forcing himself to stay excited at night when he should be resting. Vampires do the opposite, consuming more energy.
So occasionally, Zach will actually 'sleep'. We should give Louise some credit for her receptiveness. Either when you wake up, there is no one next to you, or when you wake up, there is a handsome 'corpse' next to you.
This time, Louise is trying to awaken the 'corpse'.
Zach seems to have developed a habit of sleeping during the full moon cycle through his ongoing friendship with Benjamin. It was an accident last month, when Ian's appearance temporarily interrupted this routine.
Louise stared blankly at Zach lying on the bed, not breathing, and his body was as cold as stone. She called out hesitantly, "Zach, James is here. Zach, can you hear me?"
no respond.
Louise frowned. As an adult, she knew very well that emotional relationships and cohabitation would cause some problems. For example, the 'truth' hidden in front of outsiders would be revealed. Usually, this starts with the woman taking off her makeup, but Louise's congenital conditions are too good for this situation to happen, so the task of keeping the relationship on track falls on Zach.
Louise took a deep breath and bit her lower lip. Well, she chose this path herself, so the 'corpse' in front of her is part of Zach, and she must accept him!
"Zach! Get up!" Louise slapped Zach in the face.
Louise felt Zach's chest move.
"Are you awake?"
Something moved under Zach's eyelids. A low, hoarse sound of 'Hmm' came out of Zach's throat.
"James is here, waiting for you in your office."
Zach slowly opened his eyes, and he could even see the process of his dilated pupils focusing.
"He seemed to be in a bad mood."
Zach pressed the bed, sat up, blinked his eyes, moved his shoulders up and down, flexed and stretched his legs back and forth, slowly adapting to his stiff body.
"James is a nice guy, don't be too harsh on him."
Zach put on a crooked smile with his still stiff face, and his voice was a little abnormal, "Since when did you start speaking for him?"
The corners of Louise's eyes curled up under her eyelashes, "Start from when I have a legitimate career."
Ordinary citizens, for a police officer, what a 'normal thing'.
Zach spread a smile on the other half of his face, and Louise's way of ending the topic was always pleasant.
Zach took the wine bottle from Louise, but Louise did not open the bottle. Blood beyond the control of vampires is blood. This is the only thing Louise can't overcome.
"I'm going to help Alice in the kitchen." Louise turned her head and prepared to leave.
"What time is it now?" Zach frowned, thinking it was already noon.
"It's just early morning." Louise was already standing by the door. Finally she turned her head and smiled, "That's why I asked you not to be too harsh."
So, James really came with emotions, and no one wants to choose to visit and be visited so early in the morning.
Zach unscrewed the wine bottle and did not rush down. Instead, he prepared slowly, waiting for the response of his senses. At the same time, thinking about James's purpose, the most immediate thought was that the detective was harassed by Crowley again.
It wasn't until everyone was seated in the Grande restaurant and Alice brought a breakfast to James in the office that Zach calmed down slowly.
"You're a little early, James Lance, what do you think?" Zach walked into the office, still holding the bottle in his hand, and sat back on the desk while raising his head. The rolling throat meant that he Swallowing.
"Don't talk about it..." James put down the sandwich he had already taken a bite of, "Don't talk about it! You..."
Zach stretched out his hand to stop James' words, and the look he cast on James' face was full of disgust at the other person's words, "Have you forgotten that today is the first day of the full moon cycle?"
James was stunned. He had indeed forgotten, but that couldn't be blamed on him. He had no real feelings about this cycle that both vampires and werewolves should pay attention to.
"What's going on? Everything looks normal." James stared at the square metal wine bottle that was placed on the table and clinked softly. It was obviously empty.
Zach looked at James, and what was originally an ordinary statement turned into sarcasm.
"Heart, James." Zach didn't have his usual smile, "Our current conversation has gotten off to a very bad start."
James moved his eyes upward, looked at Zach's expressionless face, and frowned. He felt that Zach was not in a good mood. As for the reason, who knows!
"Okay, it's my fault." James looked away, "But do you think I am willing to come to you at this time?"
"What's the matter?" Zach asked directly, accepting Louise's suggestion. The last time James visited during the full moon cycle, Zach gave him a harsh lesson. This time, it was really not necessary. James had made much progress compared to that time.
"Crowley!" As expected, James' expression showed deep disgust. Zach knew very well that if Grande hadn't saved him, he would have treated Grande like this, but Crowley didn't have a good start, and she also made something that James couldn't bear. behavior, unlucky to be ostracized.
"Why did you leave the case to Crowley!" James glared at Zach, "I told you, I don't want anything to do with her!"
Zach's face was still expressionless, but his heart was very happy.
This kind of atmosphere was deliberately pretended by him. To be honest, he was a little uncomfortable with James being treated as an equal. His usual communication method could no longer control James because he already knew how to fight back.
So Zach first put on a don't mess with me attitude, and then, he watched the show.
Louise is good, James Lance is a very good guy.
First of all, he has a Chicheng heart, so he cares about whose hands his case is placed in. Although he himself has said "you do your work and I will do mine" countless times, but at this time, he still misses the "work" that does not belong to him.
Then, he has a prejudiced heart, so he will care that his case is placed in the hands of someone he does not trust!
"You don't need to have anything to do with her." Zach seemed impatient, "I think your police already have the first suspect, right? As for you, this case is over. You don't have to do whatever Crowley wants to do. Tube."
There is indeed a suspect, and the context of the case is very clear.
On Sunday, the morning when worship was usually held, Crowley's men seemed not content to just preach their faith in the church. They walked out of the church and preached to those who did not have the habit of worshiping. Only Crowley, a guy from an unknown era, could use this ancient method of preaching by visiting people from door to door.
Modern pastors rarely travel to preach except at fundraisers and special occasions.
The priest who died was the person in charge of Ogier Street. He was killed at a time when there was no need to bother the forensics. When the tragic screams disturbed the people around him, someone reported the case. The murderer was also pointed out very clearly, the homeless man.
James and Coulson's visit was just to collect more information about the homeless man. However, the reality is that no one really has any intention to pay attention to the homeless man or the people living on Ogier Street. Chinese.
The meaning here is that they have no extra kindness to understand, and no extra malice to reject. To them, the homeless man is just a neighbor without a house. Whether he is there or not, they have no time to care about him in the face of their busy lives.
James frowned, what he was thinking could not be expressed in words, it was like a label on the vagina, the diaphragm was touching the skin, and it could not be pulled out and reduced on the spot, which made people irritated.
"No matter what, I don't want Crowley to have anything to do with this!" After a long while, James still said this useless thing, "Early this morning, she came to my attic and asked for the suspect's portrait. .”
"Then just give it to her." Zach knocked on the table impatiently, "If you don't want to deal with her, then just beat her. Why are you wasting your time here?"
James looked at Zach with a sullen face, "Don't you understand? She's pretending! Does she think that if she asks for it in person, I can change my view of her?! Impossible! I won't do it just because of this Just change your outlook on her!"
Zach couldn't help but raised his eyebrows. James was much more sensible than he thought and could actually read Crowley's thoughts. Just like Zach back then, James was a very important resource who controlled the overall situation in Barton City. Especially when Anthony cuts off Crowley's opportunity to try to develop on the upper floor, the detective's resources become particularly important!
So Crowley will naturally try to win over James, but with James' character who only responds to shocking education, Zach can only wish Crowley good luck.
Does Crowley need to go to a police detective herself for a portrait? There is no place she can't go in Barton City. Will abide by human etiquette, there is no other reason other than wanting to develop a relationship! Just like she would honestly visit the mayor.
James took out a folded and crumpled piece of paper from his pocket, threw it on the desk, and glared at Zach, "I know! I don't have the ability to fight her! But you do! This is the portrait that was written! Come on Dispose of it! If you still want to hand it over to Crowley, that's your business! I..." James paused for a while, but after all he didn't say anything he didn't want to admit, "I don't trust her!"
Seeing James leaving the office in an angry mood, Zach finally put away his numb face and curled up the corners of his mouth.
James is such a reserved guy.
