Zach's fingers slid back and forth on the edge of the desk, and the vampire had a strong premonition that something would definitely happen today.
It was not a pleasant parting with James yesterday.
The detective, who had just been able to get along with Grande peacefully, was silent for five minutes after hearing Zach tell the truth about Harrison. Then he sat in the car and held the document in his hand in front of Zach. He tore it into pieces, then turned sideways, opened the car door for the vampire, and said two words, "Get out."
So Zach's hunch was that after a day of settling, James would be unable to withstand the torture of his conscience and question Grande about all the details of the 'ghoul death' incident.
Zach was ready to use the ghoul's girlfriend as the main topic of conversation to guide James' focus. The final ending is to let go, which is good for everyone.
the phone is ringing. Zach was going to say 'Hey, good morning, James!' ' to start.
"Grand?"
Hearing the somewhat urgent and unfamiliar voice, Zach raised his eyebrows and asked, "Zachary Grande, who is sir?"
"Bishop." The man's voice became calmer, "Booker Bishop."
In that circle in the West End, he is the second generation owner of the Bishop family. Zach had not had direct contact with this man, but he was very impressed with his son. The same guy who was willing to pay for Blake's gossip at Mrs. Quinn's party.
"Mr. Bishop." Zach smiled, "Can I help you?"
"It's better than Sharp." Maybe it was Smith who started it. The second generation in West End can be considered the same generation as Zach, so this title is more appropriate. "I really need help."
The other party was more direct, Zach raised his eyebrows and curled the corners of his mouth. "Grand would always be honored to help. If Bishop knew about us..."
"I know." The other party didn't wait for Zach to say anything. After Grande obviously helped Quist, that is, offended Smith, Grande still got the commission to look after Blake. The West End people have made it clear that they accept Grande's business scope-household affairs, "It's not about competition." Sharp’s business is my family.”
Zach nodded into the air. No more nonsense, "We can go to your place, or you want to make an appointment with us."
The phone is not a good place to talk about things, and some information cannot be conveyed by sound alone.
"I'll be there." The voice in the receiver had completely calmed down and paused, "Thank you."
Although Grande has never failed in a commission he has accepted, it is still a little too early to thank him. Zach smiled and did not respond directly, "I will wait here."
hang up the phone. Zach pouted. After leaving the office, he told Alice to prepare some snacks and walked to the hammock. Matthew sat aside honestly and listened to Alpha's verbose talk about Gangaro.
Matthew returned to work yesterday afternoon. The Barton Police Department did not disappoint the citizens. Except for Robert, the death row prisoner who was demonized by the news and the mastermind of the escape, who is still at large, the city of Barton has escaped the security crisis caused by the escaped prisoner.
Oh, right. And one more thing. After Saint Sissi actually had a reasonably honest lunch, she left with Gangro. Don't worry about the savage life they lead.
Sissi is a human being. She has the status of a legal citizen of the Federation. She has also received permission from Mayor Barton and has a coexistence agreement with the aliens. She does not need to hide as before and can already settle down in this city. Zach showed her the place to go. Do you still remember the abandoned sea view villa that Hunter, Ravenchi and the others once occupied? Where Zach retrieves Louise.
The Saints are not short of money, just compare it to those guys in India. Zach felt that it would not be difficult for Sissi to buy a villa that no one wanted anyway. For Gangro, living in a place where no one would disturb him was a good idea.
Zach never asked Thomas. How he ended up with Saint Sissi. In return for mutual respect, Thomas did not ask how Zach ended up living with werewolves. It could be regarded as the last tacit understanding of being members of the Secret Alliance.
Zach listened to Benjamin for a while in the morning sunshine.
"They don't show off deliberately, and we have no way of knowing that they are vampires, so we don't care about any suspicious creatures that come close to us and just break their necks..."
Matthew was a little confused by this conclusion and looked at Zach, "Why should I kill them? Aren't they vampires?"
Alpha seemed to have forgotten that he did not tell Matthew that vampires and werewolves were enemies. Grande's two masters used their strange friendship and behavior to mislead the not-so-smart Matthew, thinking that the two groups were friends, friends who needed to pay attention to 'little things' on certain days.
"What Benjamin wants to say is this." Zach shook his head, "In this world, if there are friends, there will be enemies." There was no need to expect Benjamin to explain it smoothly. Zach twitched the corner of his mouth and pointed at Benjamin and himself. "We are friends, and we can easily become enemies." Zach considered the words, "Because we have the power to threaten each other."
Matthew nodded in understanding and looked at Benjamin, "Well, if it's an enemy, do I really want to kill the vampire?"
It wasn't the first time that Benjamin had been taught how to kill vampires, but Matthew had never taken it seriously. Because in addition to the methods of killing vampires, Benjamin also stuffed a bunch of how to kill the Phantom Man (Danny) and how to kill the Skinchanger (Jin) in his mind. If Mike comes, Benjamin will also tell you how. Kill the demon…
But this time is different. More and more aliens are appearing in Grande. No matter what, the two bosses of Grande use serious tones.
"If it's an enemy." Benjamin closed his eyes, "No matter what it is, kill it."
"Oh." Alpha said, and the young wolf nodded.
"Go help Alice." Zach ordered. He needed to talk to Alpha.
Matthew nodded and ran away. Zach raised his hand to block the sunlight and pushed the hammock to rock, "We are alive again, Bishop."
"Bishop?" Benjamin narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, "Bishop who cut down trees?"
Zach was amused and nodded.
Barton is just a wilderness to the east of Newton City. Those flat roads do not grow from the ground. The Bishop family is the guy who bulldozed everything that originally grew on the ground to make room for the city to develop!
The one who cut down the tree? It should be the landlord. When we now say that the land in Barton belonged to the city, before it belonged to Bishop. This process can be simplified as Newton's wasteland, Bishop's wasteland, and Barton.
Benjamin's ridicule came from the fact that the place where Alpha originally transformed was not the current border woods of the South District, but the woods between the West and North Districts, extending all the way to the western border of the South District. Then Benjamin discovered that the range of activities he could move on full moon nights was getting smaller and smaller. In the end, he had to move to the South District where no one wanted to continue developing it.
Alpha curled his lips and said, "Why, he found out which piece of land was sold cheaply and wants us to take it back." Benjamin didn't do much to hide his ridicule.
Zach smiled and waved his hand, "How is that possible?" He patted Benjamin on the shoulder. The vampire knew that Benjamin had resentment towards this family. If you look at Barton's news from eight years ago now, you will find reports of bear sightings...
Well, Benjamin's resentment comes from the common sense that ignorant humans think that such a huge body must be a bear.
"He will be here soon, please calm down." Have you ever seen a bear hunting team organized by a non-governmental organization? That was an insult to Alpha, even though Bishop at the time offered a bounty of more than 10,000 dollars in order to protect the value of his assets.
Benjamin closed his eyes again and nodded his chin reluctantly, thinking he heard it. In previous bounties, in order to incite citizens' enthusiasm, the description of 'bear' was not very pleasant.
Having said what needed to be said, there was no need for the vampire to continue suffering under the sun. He raised his arms and returned to the office. Continue to sit behind the half-shared table and stare at the phone.
Yes, Zach's premonition hasn't gone away yet, something is still going to happen. Zach waited patiently for James' questioning call. You can understand this as the childish mentality that Zach has carefully prepared all the rhetoric and is eager to implement it.
But the recipient of this rhetoric, James, who had no idea what the vampire was paying attention to, had no intention of sending it to his door like this.
Zach's eyes almost looked through the phone on the table, but it didn't ring either.
The sound of the gravel road being crushed was accompanied by the sound of the engine as it gradually approached Grand. Zach opened the curtains behind him, and Bishop arrived. He walked out of the car in a formal dress, holding a briefcase, and took a look at Grand. House of Virtue, walking towards the front porch.
As a qualified host, Zach stood up, tidied up his appearance, walked around the desk, and walked towards the main entrance of Grande, which is the showroom.
the phone is ringing.
Zach turned his head, looked at the slightly vibrating receiver, and then glanced at Bishop who had already stepped into the front door and met Old Hank first.
Zach smiled in Bishop's direction, turned around, and answered the phone.
"It's me, Sibella."
The vampire's rare sincere smile hadn't even had time to unfold.
"Barton was a mess made by you, vampire." The voice on the receiver was calm, "I'm back to clean up your mess."
Zach smiled bitterly and shook his head, just about to speak.
"Let Alice get ready, his brother is coming to pick her up." The vampire pursed his lips, "Also, get ready yourself, we picked up your brother. Haha."
The phone was hung up.
Zach put down the phone, and it was strange. The strange premonition that something was bound to happen disappeared in Sibella Hayate's last unexplained 'haha'. (..)
