The sky has darkened, and the vampire sitting in the car feels much more comfortable, leaning against the car window and leisurely enjoying the summer night breeze.
Zach is watching? It doesn't matter, he is waiting for someone, waiting for James. Waiting for James in front of someone's house in the South District. That's where Zach met No, at the house of the 'hiding' member of Woody's band.
After the conversation in the coffee shop, Nuo and Zach parted ways and went to work on their ex. Zach returned here, waiting for a certain police detective who was destined to not let go of the 'disappearance' case and came here to investigate.
It's just that Zach waited a long time. If he hadn't returned to Grande and had nothing to do, running directly to James (at the police station or attic) would definitely make him dislike him. Zach would definitely not waste this time. A lovely summer afternoon.
Zach looked at the time and curled his lips, it was almost eight o'clock. If James didn't come at eight o'clock sharp, Zach decided to go directly to the attic to block him.
However, James did not disappoint the vampire after all. Just after eight o'clock, the black car slowly stopped on the road, aligned with the car windows and the Grande truck on different levels.
James had a gloomy face. He turned his head while sitting in the car and looked up at Zach who was leaning out of the van window through the car window. "What are you going to do again?!"
Zach, who was used to James' tone, shrugged nonchalantly, "I'm waiting for you. You're so slow, why are you here now?"
James twitched his lips and didn't want to explain at all. I looked around the street and parked my car casually on the side of the road. After a while, he opened the door of the truck and got in.
James stared at the house in front of him, which was the home he was going to visit. I didn't know what unpleasant things had occurred to me, so I clicked my tongue and said, "Have you ever gone in? Tell me what you got."
"I didn't." Zach raised his eyebrows, "I thought. You will go anyway." He winked and smiled teasingly, "Since there are real police to investigate, there is no need for me. A fake who only plays with memories."
James glared at Zach with disgust, opened the door and was about to go out again.
Zach pulled James and smiled. Handed him a notebook, "I was joking. The results of Nuo's investigation."
James took the notebook and opened the door with a frown. Zach thoughtfully turned on the headlights. Under the dim light, the detective quickly read through the detective's notes.
"It's illegal to pretend to be a police detective." James glanced at Zach and said useless.
Zach put on an 'I don't know anything' expression, and James had no choice but to shake his head and continue reading.
A discordant cooing sound. Issued from James. Zach thought for a while before realizing that this was the sound a human makes when he is hungry, "James, didn't you have dinner?"
James didn't bother to respond.
Zach pursed his lips, started the truck, and turned the front of the truck. The vampire doesn't want the detective to starve to work on his case.
"What are you doing?" James stared at Zach unappreciatively.
"Find you something to eat." Zach curled his lips and stimulated the other party in a playful way, "Or, you can 'eat' my food reserves. I am a person who is willing to share."
James' eyes twitched and he turned his head. Hunger decreased drastically.
What needs to be understood is that this is not James' case, this is the unpaid private work that Grande threw at him. You understand, he couldn't use his working time to handle this cross-border case, he sacrificed his spare time.
So Zach's bad taste is just a different kind of thank you, not a thank you that Zach doesn't want to take seriously. It's just that James never took the vampire's sincerity seriously, so James deserved it.
"Where's Rippert?" James didn't formally know Nuo, so he used his last name.
Zach raised his eyebrows and covered the fact with a thin layer of sand. "He went to continue processing the clues of 'Valmina'." Zach looked at James provocatively. "Don't you think I care more about 'Valmina'? Now that I'm showing my impartiality, I decided to follow you and focus on finding Woody."
"Hmph!" James snorted without any surprise, "You must have changed your interest after hearing the name 'Eli Toledo'!"
James threw back Nuo's note, and did not forget to take the opportunity to continue to ridicule the vampire's hypocrisy, "This is worse than before! Benjamin's current situation is still unclear, so you just put aside 'Valmina' and start to only care about yourself!"
Zach shook his head and looked serious, because James actually used the friendship between vampires and Alphas as an attack point. This was too much. "The clues of 'Valmina' have begun to become clear. Benjamin is at Sibella's place. I I did what I thought was the right thing to do. If you think I could do more, please let me know."
James glanced at Zach, shook his head, and stopped continuing the topic.
"The clues you gave are of no use..." He adjusted his mood and looked at the receding night scene outside the car window.
Zach also returned to his usual expression and retorted slightly aggrievedly, "How is that possible? At least I pointed out the band as a clue."
"Benjamin discovered that." James frowned. Sure enough, he still couldn't face this guy calmly. "Then he probably paid attention because of Rippert's prompting." James shook his head. , “Besides moving Benjamin back, what else did you discover?”
In the afternoon, Zach had already realized that his reconnaissance ability was severely impaired at No. 1. Zach was very detailed when describing his situation in the basement of the old Hardy's house. He didn't mean to do it, but now that he thought about it, it turned out that Benjamin had dug everything out, and he was just a messenger.
Zach twitched the corner of his mouth helplessly, "Okay, James, if you want to undermine my professional confidence, I already know it." Zach shook his head, "I learned some more news this afternoon, about 'I Le Toledo's concert, did you find out anything?"
James didn't want to irritate Zach too much, "You should feel lucky. The police just happened to imprison two members of Woody's band. It was just an ordinary fight. Because the family was unwilling to post bail and had a bad attitude, they were detained all the time. Locked up in the bureau." James twitched his lips helplessly, "I used 'Valmina' to deceive him, and he told me everything."
Zach felt strangely relaxed. He turned the steering wheel and walked around to the door of a fast food restaurant. He glanced at James and said, "Now that I think about it, it seems like we have never eaten together properly."
James frowned and watched as Zach picked up an iron box from the back seat, opened it, grabbed a handful of small blood bottles and stuffed them into his arms. James had an uncomfortable premonition, "What are you going to do?"
Zach smiled and said, "I'll have dinner with you. We've known each other for such a long time, so this is a late dinner." (.)
