Not long after Sissi left, Benjamin walked into the office and stared at the magazine in Zach's hand, "Your time is up, give it to me."
"It's not fair, I was interrupted."
When Benjamin's hand grabbed the top of the magazine and pulled it, Zach's fingers holding the magazine began to tighten. Small cracks have begun to appear on the less delicate paper. I wonder if the editor of this niche magazine would be moved if he knew that only 'loyal readers' would do something like this.
the phone is ringing.
Benjamin looked at the slightly vibrating receiver, then back to Zach's eyes, "This is your job."
"Louise." Zach called to the only person who would obey his instructions in this situation.
Louise pursed her lips, walked around her small office, looked at the two guys who had lived for who knows how many years, shook her head, and picked up the receiver, "Grand."
"Lou, Louise?" A low and feeble voice came from the receiver.
Louise's smooth eyebrows wrinkled, "James?" She looked at the two people whose eyes were starting to turn red and hair was starting to appear on their faces, and glared at them, "James, are you okay?"
Slow, suppressed breathing. Louise's hand holding the receiver pressed harder to her ear, trying to hear clearly, "James? Are you hurt?"
"No, it's not." The voice was still low and weak.
Louise reached out and grabbed the magazine directly from the hands of the two aliens. She moved the receiver to the middle, faced the microphone, and lowered her voice, "James, are you in danger? Where are you?"
Louise was too smart. She thought that the human police detective who met Grande at the same time as her was in a bad situation and came to cry for help.
"Louise." A deep breath came from the receiver first. Louise pulled her ears to barely hear the other party's weak voice, "Georgina was kidnapped. By that hunter..."
Zach took the phone, nodded to Louise, and reassured the worried woman, "James, where are you."
The voice in the receiver paused for a moment, then mechanically announced a series of addresses. "Georgina's home."
Zach nodded. Finally, the lost guy returned to where he should be. Although Zach didn't know the process yet, hey, it was a good thing.
"What happened?" Zach asked.
But James didn't know whether it was because of his emotional confusion or what was going on. He still answered the question in that feeble voice. "K, Crowley just left not long ago. I have already called the police. It won't be long before this place will be closed as a crime scene..."
The sound became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared. It actually appeared intermittently, uh. Sobbing.
Zach frowned, crime scene? The vampire hesitated. "You said kidnapping." Zach pursed his lips and asked, "You don't have a body there?"
"No." The person on the other end of the phone seemed to want to cheer up. The sound of deep breathing carried a small electromagnetic blast and reached Zach's ears. James continued. But his thoughts still seemed confused, "No, there is no blood around... Well, it seems that no one was injured... Well. I am at Georgina's house, hunter, well, Robert has been here these days, well... food, newspapers... "
"James." Zach frowned, "You were at the crime scene, Georgina's house, right?"
"Well, I am."
Zach shook his head. He couldn't believe that he would actually say such words to James, the detective, "Now, I need you to leave the crime scene. Because it is obvious that you are not in the state, and you are not at all." Knowing what you're doing, you're only destroying evidence that your police can use to get clues."
Several confused hums came from the receiver, and James actually responded like this, "You, you are right. I will leave now..."
Zach moved the hand holding the receiver away from his ear, put it in front of his face, and stared at the receiver with strange eyes.
Louise bent down, turned her head to listen to the beeping in the receiver, and frowned, "He hung up?"
Zach nodded and put down the receiver.
James is broken.
No, James' thinking may have been messed up, but his actions still followed logic.
Georgina disappeared, so he called the police, but just like Amelia himself knew that the police could not find Harrison, James Lance's rationality told him that the police could not save his Georgina! Because the kidnapper is a hunter!
So, he called Grande, the only one who might still have a glimmer of hope!
The three people in Grande's office stared at the phone and waited for five minutes, but the phone did not ring again. Zach looked at Louise who looked worried, shook his head, and tilted his head towards Benjamin. Benjamin curled his lips, turned and left the office.
It wasn't long before the Grande brothers' obsessed van rolled out of the backyard.
Armed with a vampire hat and sunglasses, he was nestled in the back seat. Benjamin, who was holding the steering wheel, fiddled with the radio casually without Zach's obstruction. "By the time we arrived, the scene had been occupied by the police, and we couldn't see it even if we wanted to." .”
"Didn't you hear what he said? Crowley just left." Zach snorted. He was thinking about other things. "I don't know why she is there." Zach twitched the corner of his mouth. If James took the initiative to find Crowley's, he would be very sad.
Benjamin didn't need to look at Zach's expression, he could hear Zach's childish thoughts from his tone, with a chuckle, "Shouldn't you worry about more important things. For example, why did Robert find Georgina?"
Zach waved his hand, "It's too obvious, it's insurance." Zach pulled the back of the front seat and put his head next to Benjamin. He couldn't help but stretched out his hand to fight with Benjamin for control of the radio, "So no need. Worried about Georgina’s safety.”
Two different hands slapped each other in front of the knob on the radio. Zach frowned, "It was our Grande that Robert wanted to take revenge on. I spared James' life in front of them and asked Kim to replace him." James, in handling the follow-up, was a little too showy." Zach seemed to be reflecting, "Robert must have determined that James is our Grande's weakness."
Benjamin tilted his head casually, "Georgina is James's weak point, obviously." Benjamin suddenly raised his eyebrows, "Do you think Robert is still in Barton?"
"Yeah." Zach paused for a while, and Benjamin removed his hand and turned the radio to a channel with noisy drums and loud music. Too bad it's not goth.
The vampire was too lazy to argue and sat back in the back seat honestly, "Probably not here." Zach thought for a while and shook his head, "If Robert still wanted to become a devil, he wouldn't have kidnapped Georgina."
Benjamin twitched his lips. He seems to understand, but he doesn't seem to understand, he shakes his head and moves seamlessly to the drumbeat on the radio...
Just as Benjamin thought, when he arrived near Georgina's house, the intersection was blocked by police cars. He didn't know whether it was because of the victim's own ex-girlfriend or because the suspect was the mastermind of the prison break. The police's performance was not only adequate. of attention.
Grande and the two could only park their cars on the outside. The vampire pressed his hat and searched for James among the uniformed policemen.
"Hey! You guys!"
It turned out that the two of them were actually Detective Coulson. The middle-aged police detective trotted over and took the two to the other side of the street with an 'I understand' expression. As far as Coulson knew, Grande was also James' informant.
James' car was parked far outside the cordon, and Coulson probably rushed over to prevent James from being psychologically stimulated. Coulson knocked on the closed car window and winked at Zach and Benjamin. left.
You could clearly hear the car door's safety lock being flipped up, and Zach pursed his lips. Opening the front seat door, Benjamin sat in the back.
Zach glanced at James, who was sitting in front of the steering wheel. Judging by his expression, he seemed to have regained his senses. This means staring sullenly at the busy policeman ahead, motionless.
Zach moved his hips and pulled out a document from under his body. It seemed like a good conversation starter, "What is this?" Zach said in a relaxed tone. Ask casually.
"Case." James answered briefly.
Seeing that James had no intention of taking it away, Zach opened it "consciously" and said in a calm voice, "Well - the missing person's case, the reporter. Amelia..." Then Zach's tone became strange. Get up, "Missing Man Harrison..."
James turned his head sideways and stared at Zach, who had opened the document with a strange expression. He was silent for a while and said in a nonchalant tone, "What, you know this person."
Zach closed the file and put on a smile on his face, "Let's talk about Georgina, what do you know. Tell us, you know we will help you."
"No need." James was unusually calm, turned away his eyes, and continued to look at the police outside the front window of the car, "Georgina is no longer in Barton."
"Don't give up hope so quickly." Zach smiled, "You should have fully understood that this world is full of unknowns, and nothing is final."
James closed his eyes and leaned on the back seat, "Crowley has confirmed it."
Zach raised his eyebrows, glanced sideways at Benjamin, and shook his head helplessly.
"Robert went to the church yesterday and confirmed that the demons agreed to make him a demon just to help Grande control him." James continued, "He took Georgina as a hostage and left Barton directly. Now, hum , may no longer be in Massachusetts.”
"We will find clues and find where Robert will go." Now except comfort, Zach can't think of anything else. As he said before, the lost person finally returned to where he should be, which is a good thing.
"No." James opened his eyes, "Crowley has already done it. She checked every thing in Georgina's house." After a pause, "There is nothing."
Zach frowned, but the main idea was still to comfort, "We are not Crowley..."
James punched the steering wheel! Shout to Zach, "Did I say it? It's over! I'm too stupid! Too weak!"
The calm after the chaos is about to explode now. We vampires are really not very lucky and we bumped into it ourselves!
"I was immersed in my own emotions (being broken up)! It was me who neglected Georgina's safety! Even if you reminded me!" James' anger increased to another level and he hammered the steering wheel again, "I put her in danger Hit! But I don’t know anything! It’s me!”
James stared at Zach, not knowing what kind of feud he took Zach to have in his heart. The flying dust rushed towards Zach's delicate face, "The stupidest part about me! I'm so..." James himself He admitted, "It's so childish!! The facts are clearly right in front of me! I still want to refuse! To deny! Ignore the reality! It's childish to think there is still hope!!"
Zach lowered his eyelids and wiped off the 'water stains' on his face. He was actually a little relieved, "Don't say that, you were right to call us. Robert was the stupid one. His behavior gave him a real sentence." Death penalty." It was a joke, and Zach smiled, "You know what I'm talking about."
James took a deep breath. From a police detective's standpoint, he would not agree with Zach.
There was silence in the car for a while. The three people watched the police in front of them harassing the citizens living nearby, hoping to get some clues. But all three of them knew that it was just in vain. James knew very well the hunter's methods. If they don't want anyone to find out, there are countless ways! They are a group of outlaw murderers!
Just as Zach enjoyed a moment of strange peace...
"Harrison." James suddenly took the document in Zach's hand, "Do you know this person?" James opened the document, "I lost Georgina, and I will not let others lose their preciousness. the other half.”
Zach was inhaling and looked in the rearview mirror. Benjamin had turned his head and stared at the roof of the car.
"Don't deny it." James flipped through the information on the shelter, "Just by looking at you, I knew you must know him." James' expression was not very good, "Who is he? And he asked Walter A guy like that? It doesn’t matter, he has a good girlfriend, and I shouldn’t be much different. If you have any news, you’d better tell me!”
Zach exhaled slowly, "He's dead." It felt really bad to be honest with James, "He's a ghoul." (...)
