It was only a short pause outside for a few words, but under the noon sun, the interior of Father Constantine's priest's car was already very hot.
The vampire didn't mind the sweltering heat. He sat in the back seat and looked at Constantine's calm and calm face in the rearview mirror.
Constantine put his hands on the steering wheel and did not try to observe Zach in the rearview mirror. Instead, he listened to the soft sound of the seat belt buckle and smiled, "You have good driving habits."
Zach smiled reluctantly. After sitting down, Constantine started his antique car, "Is there anywhere you want to go?"
"No, feel free to do whatever you want," Zach replied.
Constantine nodded, and after thinking for a moment, he turned the car around. The old car left Grande and headed east on Route 27. At the end of the gravel road, the car turned south and disappeared in a moment at the T-intersection embedded in the shadow of the trees.
The sun in the sky moves westward.
In Grande, some people were sitting in the entertainment room on the second floor, watching the arresting process of the escaped prisoners. Someone was hanging leisurely in a hammock in the backyard. Some people left Grande and returned to the Church of the Holy Child without hesitation. Of course, there is also a hint of unwillingness to give up and visit the Grande woman again.
"Waiting in the office." Benjamin only raised his head from the hammock, glanced at Grand Amelia who was finally put in, and ignored her after saying this. Grande House, the one who is good at dealing with people, is Zach.
When Alice finished watching Cook's Kitchen and started preparing dinner, Father Constantine's car finally appeared again at the south end of Route 27, turned onto the dirt road, and dropped off at the main entrance of the Grand House. Her mood seemed to be improving. After killing many vampires, Zach continued to go west, and the priest was going back to the church.
Zach watched the priest's car move away and disappear. Then he turned around and looked at the woman who opened the curtains of her office and looked over. I gave up on entering through the front door and walked into the back corridor.
On Benjamin's chest in the hammock was a half-eaten portion of ribs. Alpha seemed to be lying too comfortably under the food and sunshine. Already asleep, Zach pinched Alpha's nose and said, "Benjamin, wake up."
Brown eyes were exposed in the open eyelids. Benjamin slapped Zach's hand away and shifted his gaze in the sky. In the gap of the west warehouse, he found the sun embedded in the cracks of the building, with only half a circle exposed. "You were out all afternoon."
"Yes." Zach smiled, "Have our guests been waiting all afternoon?"
"Yeah." Benjamin looked at the dinner plate that was placed firmly on his chest, took the fork and poked it, it seemed a little hard. He sat up, carrying the plate, and seemed to be going to the kitchen to let Alice reheat it.
"Aren't you curious about what Constantine and I said?" Zach followed Benjamin, curling the corners of his mouth, and walked towards Grande together.
The corners of Benjamin's mouth twitched. Too lazy to pay attention, Zach pointed in the direction of the office, "Don't keep our guests waiting."
Zach smiled. The two separated at the stairwell and entered different doors.
In the office, Amelia was already sitting neatly on the chair in front of the desk, frowning, and turned to look at Zach who walked in.
"Browning." Zach had a smile on his face, looking at this woman who had a good impression in front of Maggie's house. "We meet again."
Amelia's face was far less calm than Zach's, "Amelia Browning, just Amelia."
Zach tilted his head slightly and raised one eyebrow, "That's fine. Zach." He sat behind the desk like a master, took the bottle and glass, and the red liquid was on Amy's face. Leah's eyes fell, and she fell into the transparent cup, spinning and flipping, "You must have been waiting for a long time. Do you need some?"
"No need." Amelia looked away, "It won't be long, just an afternoon."
"Sorry." Zach picked up the wine glass, "My brother doesn't like to deal with official business very much."
Emilia's carefully trimmed eyebrows moved closer to the middle again. She seemed to have made some determination and said directly, "I know you are a vampire and Benjamin is the alpha of the werewolf. I am here to find someone."
In order to make Emilia feel better, Zach still showed a little surprise, "Oh!" The vampire seemed embarrassed to put down the wine glass, and smiled awkwardly, "That's because I was rude." As if his identity was exposed, he was embarrassed The one who looked at the other person lowered his head. Zach stared at his wine glass, "Then who is Miss Browning looking for in Grande?"
"Harrison!" Amelia didn't want to waste any more time, "My boyfriend, he is..."
"Ghoul." Zach raised his head, looked at the woman in front of him with a smile, and explained, "Ah, Harrison, I remember him, an old friend I met when I came to Barton. Boyfriend..." Zach's face was full of envy, "It seems that Harrison's life is very good."
Emilia seemed to be relieved. She had been hesitating how to start the conversation, but the vampire in front of her seemed to be an easy person to communicate with, just like the first time she met him.
Not letting Amelia continue talking, Zach seemed to have entered the memory mode and deliberately changed the topic, "How is Harrison doing recently? The last time I saw him, he seemed to be working at the Ford Funeral Home. We still Competitors."
"He..." Amelia just started.
Zach jumped in front again, "I think he shouldn't be there now." The vampire blinked, "The cremation must have made his life very difficult." As if the empathy between the aliens broke out, Zach was 'sincere' Looking at Emilia, "If he needs it, our Grand welcomes him to work here." As if talking to himself, Zach lowered his voice, "It can also give Alice a rest, a teenager It’s not good for a young girl to deal with corpses all the time.”
Amelia frowned, and Zach had given her enough information regardless of what she said to herself, "Didn't you see Harrison?"
"Well?" Zach's face showed confusion, "Has he come to Grande?"
The two looked at each other. Zach frowned and touched his chin, "By the way, you are here to find him. What's wrong, is he missing?" Zach looked apologetically, "Sorry, I didn't see him."
Seeing Emilia lower her head and become impatient, Zach looked away from her again and returned to his wine glass. Gently swaying the wine glass with his fingers, watching the bright red stirring in the glass, Zach changed his tone and raised his voice, "Amelia?"
"Yeah." It was just a reflexive response, and Amelia didn't look at Zach.
"How's Harrison doing lately?" Zach picked up the wine glass, "We haven't seen each other for a long time."
"He works in a shelter..." Amelia answered the question reflexively, then stood up suddenly, looked at Zach and shook her head, "Sorry, I have something else to do, I have to leave."
Zach put down his wine glass and stood up, "Are you leaving now? Grande would be happy to invite you to stay for dinner."
Emily also forced a smile, "No, I still have something to do. Thank you." She turned around to leave, something seemed to sound, and turned to look at Zach, "If, well, Harrison comes Yes, can you inform me?"
Zach nodded, as if he had no idea what was going on, and nodded doubtfully, "Of course."
Emilia nodded, took out a business card from her bag, and handed it to Zach, "Tell him I'm worried." She looked into Zach's eyes, "You also have a girlfriend, you should be able to understand, tell him I'm worried about him, no matter what happened, at least let me know that he is safe."
Zach looked at 'Dr. Amelia Browning' on the business card and nodded, "Of course, I can understand." He took a Grande business card from the desk and handed it out as well.
"Thank you." Amelia nodded, took the business card, stuffed it into her bag, and left the office without saying anything more.
Zach held Amelia's business card expressionlessly, stood alone for a while, flipped his fingers, folded the business card and held it between his fingers, and walked towards the side door of the office.
Outside the main entrance of Grande, the engine sound of Amelia's car sounded and gradually faded away. In Grande's backyard, Louise's car went directly around. The jet-black demon attached to the roof of the car completed the task of escorting the car. The mass of jet-black stopped for a moment, signaled to Grande's owner, and floated away.
Louise opened the car door and saw Zach stepping out of the back porch in the darkening sky and walking towards Benjamin's warehouse.
"I'm back." Louise smiled and walked towards Zach, leaning into the vampire's arms very naturally, "Are you worried about me?"
"Not at all." Zach bent his eyes and pointed in the west direction, where a black mass was leaving.
Louise couldn't see anything, and unconsciously hugged her shoulders, complaining a little uncomfortable, "Uh, now I want to take a hot bath." The corners of her eyes curled up, and she turned away from Zach's arms. He came out and put his fingers on Zach's arm, "Do you want to come with me?"
Zach smiled and raised what seemed to be a folded piece of paper between his fingers, "I have something else to do. You go first, and I will give you a surprise when you are not paying attention."
Louise's lower lip rested lightly between her teeth, her slightly squinted eyes turned under her eyebrows, and she stepped onto the back porch, facing the direction of Zach, leaning against the stairwell door, "Don't make me wait too long. It’ll be a long time.” He turned around and left.
Zach's smile lasted for a while, the business card folded between his fingers was clenched, turned around, and continued walking towards the warehouse.
The blue-gray iron box is still there. The vampire opened it with the key and looked at what was inside. He raised his hand and put the business card in, placed it next to the incomplete skull, and closed the iron box.
"Danny," Zach called into the air.
After a moment, colorful lights gathered in the warehouse, and the phantom man stood in front of Zach.
"Find a place and bury it." Zach said. (..)
