Aili was right, Mr. Herman really came. This old man in his seventies looked like he was only fifty. He opened the car door with a serious face. He did not walk towards Grande, but looked at the second parked car and frowned.
The vampire 'hid' behind the curtains in the office, fingering the edge, and his eyes flickered back and forth between the two people. Zach guessed that they were not prepared to meet each other in a 'normal' Southside funeral home!
But we can't blame them. The two cars came from two different directions. Herman seemed to have inserted himself directly from the north vertically south to the gravel road in front of Grande. The other side seemed to be coming from the west.
The well-behaved Route 27 must have been deliberately ignored by these two parties.
No matter what the situation, Mr. Herman is the one who should be respected more, so the two juniors, Blake and Jackson, who came from the west, got out of the car and bowed their heads honestly, covering up their slight embarrassment. expression.
Mr. Herman twitched the corner of his mouth without being noticed, maintaining the kindness that an elder should have, uh, kindness? He nodded slightly, glanced at the Grande Funeral Home, which was as silent as a tomb in the summer sunshine, and waved his hand, "You little guys go first."
Blake and Jackson looked at each other and actually became polite at this moment, "Mr. Herman, go first."
…
Zach gently lowered the curtains that were parted, shook his face with an inexplicable smile, emptied the wine glass, packed it up, and left.
Zach wasn't going to get involved in this awkward West End meeting, let them sort it out on their own.
Zach made a don't-care gesture to Old Hank who seemed impatient to go out and scold others in the exhibition hall. He silently walked to the backyard, facing the sun, and sat down next to Alpha who was swinging in the hammock.
Although Benjamin had his eyes closed in a leisurely manner. As if enjoying the sunshine. But the plush and pointed ears on both sides indicate that this Alpha is more gossipy than it seems!
Benjamin curled his lips, "Why don't you go out and deal with it."
"I won't cause trouble for myself." Zack smiled with squinted eyes, lowered his head and leaned his upper body against Benjamin on the hammock, using Alpha as a shield and almost squeezing under Alpha's body, "It's best for them to keep silent. Leave. Grande doesn’t need to pay attention to any request from either party.”
Benjamin opened his eyes and pushed the vampire's head impatiently, "How do you know they are all here for a commission?"
The vampire was pushed and swayed from side to side, but like a spring, it went back and forth and couldn't get rid of it. "Otherwise, he came to chat with us."
Benjamin curled his lips, stretched his arm towards Matthew who was planing wood in the carpentry shed, shook it twice, and pointed at Zach. He made a hat gesture.
Alpha wants to make up for the two days of missing sunbathing, and he will not easily satisfy the vampire's personal needs to go to a cool place, so if Zach wants to have a conversation, he must stay in the sun!
"Do you believe what Eli said?" Benjamin asked.
Zach's expression was a little helpless. He didn't know whether he was exposed to the sun or something else. He said sluggishly, "I don't believe it. But Herman is really here, so I can only believe it."
"We don't even know what he wants to entrust." It seemed like a casual complaint.
"Unless he comes here to open the tomb of his son, Connor Herman." Zach casually speculated... "Anything else is trouble."
Don't delve into the vampire's mind, it's too dark for us humans. However, Zach was telling the truth.
Herman had no 'intention' to satisfy Grande. Even the last so-called commission was due to Mrs. Barton's forced addition of 'after-sales service' and the vampire's revenge on the hunter. The result is achieved through the interaction of the two.
Zach didn't even want to participate in the career interests of Smith and Bishop, let alone Herman. Don't forget that Grande is not a real firm. The only thing Grande is willing to take over is what Mrs. Quinn says. It’s about the trust of the new generation.
Look at Herman, this old gentleman has no new generation candidates. What else can he do here besides career benefits
Benjamin thought for a while, and the alien race was indeed an alien race. Alpha nodded and agreed with Zach's statement.
The young wolf Matthew quickly brought Zach's hat and sunglasses, and Alpha put them on the vampire without any gentleness at all, "Where are Blake and Jackson, do you think they are also here for a commission?"
With the equipment, the vampire felt much more comfortable. He sat in a proper posture and no longer harassed Alpha. He adjusted the brim of his hat with his fingers, "If Anthony has something to do, Blake will come alone." Zach showed a helpless smile, "Private matters..." Shake He shook his head and said, "Looking at Old Hank's previous performance, I don't think Blake would be asking for trouble."
If one person is excluded, the other person is Jackson.
The expression on Zach's face became even more helpless, and his eyes behind his sunglasses swept around aimlessly, "Remember what I told you before, Elena recognized Woody at that time, and we went to Hardy's residence first. , you still remember, we met Elena at that time."
Benjamin raised his eyebrows. He obviously remembered that the reason why he and Zach were asked to check the basement without the owner was because of this girl named Elena! (Elena was angry, and Eddie went to chase her. Old Hardy was worried about the two little guys running around, so he followed her. In the end, two aliens messed around in his house, leaving an extra hole.)
Benjamin narrowed his eyes, "Tell me again, who is this Elena?" Alpha's sleepiness caused him to miss Elena's formal introduction when she came to Grande yesterday morning.
Zach smiled bitterly and explained again. Explaining the relationship between men and women of half-grown teenagers is a waste of brain power, but Zach got to the point. Laura and Kepler were here to cover the two little guys. I'm just here to play with you in the North District. So these two little guys should be serious.
Benjamin raised his eyebrows and said oh, "It seems that Jackson is not ready to let him go easily..." Benjamin pursed his lips, "Elena's life has been threatened."
Zach nodded helplessly. He was temporarily 'touched' by Blake's performance last night. It was indeed a wrong decision to give up using the Charming Eye to eradicate the roots.
But it’s not too late to make up for it now, Zach twitched the corner of his mouth, he would just wait until they come in to solve it. Zach stretched out his hand towards Matthew and made a wine bottle gesture.
"I remember there was a boy at that time. Who was that boy who went after Elena?"
Zach squinted and thought about it. The West End Grand information he had read seemed to mention, "Eddie, Woody's younger brother."
Benjamin raised his eyebrows, not minding the dazzling sun at all, "So, the brother who became a vampire attacked the girl that the brother was 'chasing'." Alpha's fingers were gesturing in front of him, as if to clarify the relationship between the characters. "While the girl was with another boy."
Zach raised his eyebrows. After Benjamin said this, things seemed to have become interesting... (...)
