When he returned to Grande, Anthony was sitting lazily on the bench on the back porch, with his clothes open and his crooked tie hanging around his neck. He was holding a pile of unknown things and teasing Jin.
Only the light in Old Hank's room on the second floor was still on, as if an uneasy, anxious, and hesitant figure was moving back and forth in the dim light. It makes people curious as to what conversation is taking place inside.
Anthony saw the two people walking in the darkness. The shorter one, Caesar, seemed to have no intention of speaking. He took away vampire Zach's hand on his shoulder, walked to the car parked in the backyard, opened the door, and got in.
Anthony didn't mind too much, and still sat on the back porch, holding lumps of food in his hand, and continued to feed Jin, who always had an expression on his face.
Zach smiled and sat next to Anthony.
"When we came." Anthony was the first to speak. "I heard the siren and went south."
Zach raised one shoulder, "The little guy needs to vent." He curled the corners of his mouth, "The noise was a bit loud."
Anthony didn't respond and quickly changed the topic, "Hayate is back, you know."
Zach smiled and nodded, "I'm glad they're back."
"Huh." Anthony snorted, unable to express his emotions, "I recruited a few people, and I don't know what we discussed." Anthony raised his eyebrows, "I didn't ask those people back, they came back to me. coming."
Zach knew now that Anthony was talking about the Indian rally. Zach already knew that Anthony had already accepted some of Sibela's people from the past and stayed under him. When Sibella came back, she convened a meeting. Steve Walker intentionally or unintentionally fed Grande news, so Grande knew what Sibella was going to do as early as before Sibella didn't come back.
But judging from Sibella's actions, it seemed that she had no intention of hiding it.
In the afternoon, Zach took Derek to learn about Grande. Derek said that he met a very enthusiastic Indian woman. After returning from the trip, she gave him a windmill and a place to live. She also invited a bunch of people to gather to help him find out about Grande, and casually mentioned it to him. Steve Walker of his Grande card.
Sibella did not care that Grande knew that she had gathered the Indians in large numbers upon her return. In turn, Zach didn't care that Sibella came back. Barton's alien race now has a center for information circulation, and Harrison's tragedy that happened due to Grande's negligence will never happen again. In addition, the hunters who stayed in Barton and deliberately brought a 'firefly' as hostages because they did not have Alpha's guarantee of safety, now have someone who can restrain them. All of this is a good thing.
Oh, right. Yinghuo is a wizard family. If you want to trace its origins, Yinghuo's surname is Papa Midnight's sister, which is a branch of the first descendant of the banshee.
The only downside may be that Zach Toledo's identity has nothing to hide from the hunters. Zach could only hope that Sibella would be kind and tell everyone about Ian's existence. Overall, it's pretty good.
"You are half an Indian." Zach smiled and waved his hand indifferently. "Nothing to worry about."
"Yeah." Anthony pondered for a moment and looked at Zach. "You actually didn't ask me what they said in the meeting." Anthony's eyes were a little confused, "It seems that you are really happy that Sibella is back."
"Of course." Zach smiled, "Before, I was worried about how to deal with the firefly that suddenly came to Barton. Now that Sibella is in the middle, I believe Alice will not be put in too difficult a situation."
If it's too biased toward foreign races, there's no need to worry about the mayor. Zach gave a very family reason.
Anthony thought for a while and nodded, "The hunters in the middle have left now, and the people sent by Crowley have also left." Anthony curled his lips and snorted. "Crowley informed me, and I will inform you too."
Zach smiled and said, 'Notice', does this fallen angel want to get the 'Most Enthusiastic Citizen' medal? Getting along with Anthony was so positive. However, Zach remembered that he had not seen this fallen angel for a while, and wondered how her new container was getting used to.
Thinking about it now, that Robert was quite pitiful. Did he think he would be safer if he left Barton? It's a pity that he has turned himself into everyone's enemy. I believe that in addition to assisting the hunters, the demons who came out of Barton will also pay attention to this guy's whereabouts.
"Anthony." Zach suddenly touched his chin and asked hesitantly, "The hunter has left, right?"
Anthony looked at Zach with some confusion and nodded, "Yes."
"The hunter is gone, Sibella is back, Barton should have calmed down." Zach concluded inexplicably.
Anthony clicked his tongue and said, "What do you want to say?" Calmness was not what it meant. Now the various alien races in Barton were mixed with hunters, aliens, demons, saints, Toledo, Gangaro, and then they were combined again. There is really no friendship between them, and they all rely on agreements to suppress each other to achieve temporary harmony, which is a ghost's theory of peace.
There is also the issue of Anthony's own mayor. Putting aside the foreign races, the human side has also begun to fight. This city will never be peaceful.
Zach ignored Anthony's urging and thought for a while, "Forget it, let's see about it later." Do you know what Zach is hesitating about? Second 'Colt'.
The vampire originally thought that the agreement between Crowley and the hunter had been officially completed, and the issue of 'Colt' could be discussed. But then I thought about it carefully, the hunters haven't gone far, it would be funny to come back... At least, at least, wait until the hunters actually use the 'Colt' and see the effect.
Anthony stared at Zach for a long time, shook his head, waved his hand, and was too lazy to ask.
Anthony bent down and put the plate in his hand in front of Jin, adjusted his posture, twitched the corners of his mouth, and raised his fingers, "People above, what are you going to do."
The strange question could only refer to Derek Grande.
Zach narrowed his eyes and looked sideways at Anthony, who had no expression. "I'm very touched that you pay attention to us."
"Attention?" Anthony twitched the corner of his mouth, "I don't care about what kind of guests come to your house." Anthony shook his head and glanced at Zach, "Huh. If James finds out, what else do you want? .The rest, you guess.”
Zach raised his eyebrows and shook his head helplessly, there was nothing surprising.
"James wants you to watch us and not do anything illegal?" Zach paused, with a smile on his face, shaking his head and laughing. James really made full use of his relationship with Grande - trusting, yet distrusting, always questioning the vampire's character.
James is probably worried that Grande has evil intentions and makes Derek Grande disappear from the world in order to protect Grande's Zachary Grande and Benjamin Grande's family. Proper identity.
Anthony shrugged expressionlessly, "I'm too lazy to ask, but since I'm here anyway, I'll just ask."
"Oh, my friend." Zach looked aggrieved, "Tell me, you don't think we are going to do something stupid, do you?"
Anthony clicked his tongue, "I'm not as naive as James, but if it were me, there wouldn't be any 'good' way to deal with it." Anthony looked at Zach and gave a look that only they could understand, probably It means, 'Sorry. '
Why 'sorry'? Everyone will understand.
Anthony didn't seem to want to continue to let this topic go in a dark direction, so he corrected his question again, "Are you prepared for this real Grande?"
Zach stopped the meaningless performance and thought about it seriously, "This is not what we are preparing for." Zach smiled, "Benjamin and I have reached a consensus that this is not what we should think about." Ke raised his finger and pointed upward, "Old Hank is the one who should make the judgement."
The vampire was silent for a while, "No matter what Hank decides, we will cooperate."
Anthony frowned, thought for a moment, took a deep breath, and nodded, "That's fine."
Anthony arranged his clothes and stood up, "That's it, let's go."
Zach also stood up and watched Anthony walk down the back corridor. He suddenly remembered something and called him, "Anthony." Zach had a smile on his face, "Don't be too harsh on Caesar, he is a good boy. ."
Anthony frowned, as if he was a little impatient with Zach's reminder, "It's not my job. Being strict can only be done by people with integrity, so there's no need for me."
Zach kept smiling. He didn't know why, but he thought of the young man sitting in front of the tombstone before, snapping his fingers at the gray tombstone under the cover of night, "Just like this, clean and neat." '
The sound of an engine sounded in the backyard, and Zach watched Anthony leave. He didn't know how these two people, who had a short-lived legally bound 'father-son' relationship, would reconcile things after returning.
Zach turned his head and listened to the conversation still going on on the second floor. It seemed that it had reached the point where everything had come to an end.
Derek's voice was trembling, "What is this?"
Old Hank's voice, "Obituary. Clippings from almost four years ago. You're too late, Derek, he's dead."
"It's too late." Old Hank's voice repeated.
Just like one night, in a driveway in the Noel Beach villa area, a child curled up in the arms of a vampire, pulling on the vampire's collar, staring at the flames burning in the driveway with wide eyes.
The vampire seemed to be able to feel what was being expressed on the other person's tightly closed lips and face, so he took off the hand that was wrinkling his collar, "It's already too late."
"No!" Esera actually broke free from Alpha's arm, "It's not too late! You can deal with this..." (..)
