Zach glanced around the phone booth with a strange expression. Blake was at Anthony's house, home. Zach twitched the corners of his mouth, not wanting his thoughts to stray too far.
However, he discovered something that made him helpless. There were already pedestrians on the road looking at this disheveled guy in the phone booth with strange eyes.
Zach frowned and glanced at the passers-by with his red eyes, "Look away."
But our vampires have no ability to stop passers-by from passing through this street freely, so this is an endless project. Zach curled his lips and said to the passers-by who passed by again and seemed to be quite pleasing to the eye, "Take off your clothes."
"Zach?" Blake's voice appeared on the receiver, a little confused, "What's the matter?"
"Blake." Zach responded while sorting out his 'new' clothes, "Ah, Blake. I need your help, no, Jackson needs your help."
"Wha, what?" The voice on the receiver became more confused, "What happened to Jackson?"
Zach smiled and shamelessly used Jackson's guess, "Don't worry, he is safe."
"Huh? Wait, what does 'already safe' mean?" Blake reacted with obvious urgency in his voice.
There was a smile on Zach's face, plus a little deliberate helplessness, plus a little deliberate hesitation, "That's it, Blake." After a brief pause, Zach shook his head deliberately again, which was very funny, "Actually, it's like this, Blake." , Uh-oh. Blake, I can’t explain it too clearly, please understand.”
Such a response has no effect except making the person on the other side of the receiver more confused and worried.
But this is what Zach wanted to achieve, and he hesitantly continued with unclear explanations. "Jackson was very unlucky to be involved in, well, one of my jobs." Zach seemed to want to comfort Blake's worries, "Don't worry, I have taken care of it. It's just..." Zach said in his tone. The hesitation was even stronger, "Jackson seems to be very dissatisfied that I ruined his private, um, activities. So he asked me to compensate, and I need a little help from you..."
It is not an exaggeration to say that Zach is shameless. Not only did he directly use Jackson's misunderstanding, he also put all the blame on Jackson.
"Where is Jackson?" Blake listened to Zach's words and was silent for a while. He did not ask what kind of work Zach was doing, under Zach's deliberate guidance. He could only focus on Jackson. Because he knew exactly what type of job Grande had, he couldn't ask, "What does he want from me?"
Zach was very satisfied with Blake's understanding, "Did you know that today is the prom at Repert High School?"
"Well, Jackson was probably with Laura and Kepler, and took his friends to the dance. I heard about these things." Blake paused, seeming to understand what Zach meant by 'private event' what. The tone was a little weird, "He wants to let me take him away from Laura and the others, right?"
Under Zach's unclear explanation, this kind of thinking is a bit jumpy, but it is very reasonable - Laura and Kepler are girls, and Blake is a man.
Zach narrowed his eyes. Surprisingly easy, "That's it. Blake, are you willing to help us? Help Jackson, and you also help me."
Blake on the other side of the receiver hesitated, as an elder of this generation in the West End. He really shouldn't allow his juniors to act like this. But Zach reminded him intentionally or unintentionally that this matter was not that simple. Jackson turned to him for help because he was involved in something in Grande's work.
The quickest thing that springs to mind regarding Grande's work is the West End 'Valmina' incident that just happened! Of course Smith will not deal with this openly, but secretly, operations have begun to protect the hidden drug lord in the West District. Grande's name has appeared from the mouths of those in the West District more than once! So although Blake doesn't know what role Grande played in the whole thing, he is probably somewhat aware.
Blake thought a little far, but it didn't matter what he thought. What mattered was his reply, "Okay, wait a minute, I'll come."
Zach was very satisfied with the result, agreed on the location with a smile, and hung up the phone.
The next thing to do is to 'eavesdrop' on the specific cover story discussed by Jackson and Blake, and then use the Charming Eye. The vampire's workload had been reduced from all the people attending the Reiput High School dance to two people, and Zach was satisfied with his compromise.
Zach didn't wait too long at the entrance of Leipte High School. The Upper North Side where Mayor Anthony lives is not far from here, and Blake soon appeared in front of Zach in his car.
"Where's Jackson?" Blake opened the car door a little hastily.
Zach pointed at the roof of the teaching building. Necessary preparations were still needed. If Blake saw Elena unconscious and Jackson injured and felt it was too serious and unwilling to be the cover, the vampire's plan would be over. .
"I'll go up in a while. Don't be too surprised by what you see." Zach actually felt a little embarrassed. "The important thing is that I have taken care of my work. Jackson and the others are safe."
Blake's expression was not very good, but he could only nod reluctantly, and followed Zach, who seemed to be wearing a slightly different style than usual, towards the teaching building.
Zach had no intention of ending his behavior of blaming Jackson. The vampire smiled reluctantly, "I'm sorry to trouble you at this time, and I don't want to. But this is Jackson's request to come to you, if I don't agree. "Zac sighed deliberately, "It's not good for everyone."
Zach also deliberately patted the protrusion on the back of his waist.
Blackburn didn't notice what it was until Zach deliberately lifted the hem of his T-shirt and saw a gun butt!
Blake nervously pressed down Zach's T-shirt, suppressed his curiosity about Grande's work, put his focus in the right place, lowered his voice, but could not hide the anxiety in his tone, "Jack Is Mori okay?!"
Zach lowered the curved corners of his mouth in an instant and used a comforting tone, "A small scratch, it's okay, it's just that his friend, Elena, seemed to be too frightened and fainted."
Zach looked at Blake very seriously, "I'm sorry, if I could, I would never work in front of them, but the matter is very..."
"No, don't tell me this! I can understand!" Blake interrupted Zach. He still remembered the conversation he had with Zach on Ogier Street when he was involved in the White incident. At that time, Zach had already told him many things that should not be disclosed out of goodwill and violated the spirit of the trust.
Blake's shadow felt that he would appear here because of Jackson's embarrassment, and Blake, he didn't want to always embarrass the Grand master!
Our vampire glanced at Blake, smiled, and nodded.
With such an understanding person, the workload of the remaining two people can be saved. (..)
