What do you do when the monster under your bed appears in front of you and asks you questions? Answer? Seriously, that’s not an option at all!
The boy Nathan's body on the sofa slumped down with a 'swish' sound. Before the adults could react, the thin figure got under the tea table! When the middle-aged man bent down angrily, Nathan had already leaned out from the other side, circled half a circle outside the sofa, and rushed out of the house!
He stood up too quickly, and the man's wide back hit the bottom of the dining table. The splash from the swaying tea cup didn't touch anyone, and Wes and Zach stood up on the sofa.
Before the roar that was about to erupt came from the mouth of the man who lost his balance for a moment, the two of them had already walked around the tea table and were about to leave, well, chase them out.
You wouldn’t think that a child’s reaction speed is faster than that of a vampire, right? Zach let Nathan go on purpose.
Maybe Wes really didn't react. He didn't even react to Zach's sudden change of conversation, his final conclusion, or even the logic of asking that question. But the look in Zach's face when he spoke already told Wes that Zach had a plan, and Wes decided to follow it.
Zach walked out calmly, his eyes following the small figure behind him, moving away, turning, and disappearing.
However, Weiss was pulled by the man who stood up from the ground in a hurry, "You, what are you going to do?!"
oh! This man hears very clearly. He doesn't need to understand the logic of Zach's words, he just needs to hear clearly! His son Nathan knows the location of Teddy who is still missing!
Zach had already walked out of the door, looked at the direction Teddy disappeared, and then turned to the car parked outside. Mike, Tyler, and Mason were still waiting inside. Zach gestured to Mike, and when Mike's eyes were dark, Zach whispered a few words that ordinary people were unwilling to hear.
Mike, who was incompetent to drive on his own, tugged on Mason's arm. Urgently urging, the car turned and chased him out after a while.
Zach turned around, and saw Wes being pulled by a man in the living room. His thoughts were temporarily stuck, and he spoke with an unnatural expression. "Nathan's performance proved that he knew Teddy's whereabouts, which was a hindrance..."
"This proves nothing." Zach stood at the door and smiled, "Didn't I just say that the two little guys have a secret, that's all." Zach waved and walked back to the living room, patting Wes on his shoulder, "Don't threaten this worried father. I said the wrong thing and scared the child away. We have to send him back. Right."
Weiss immediately changed his demeanor, looked at the man, and nodded, "Yeah, that's right, I'm sorry. Now let's go find it..."
"I'll go too!" The emotion in the man's eyes was obvious distrust. Can't blame him, Wes's turn was too blunt, Zach's way of speaking was too smooth. This is not a sign of trustworthiness.
Before Wes could say his rejection, Zach agreed!
Zach patted Wes gently. He nodded slightly, "Then let's hurry up." He turned and looked out the door, "He has disappeared in a while. I really don't know where he will go! The father who knows his son best is here, and we also know where to look for him. "
Before the man could say anything, Zach clapped his hands and rubbed them twice with an eager look. "Come on, take us to where Nathan often goes to look for him first."
Wes got it. He now fully realizes what the vampires are up to!
Zach didn't want to go to Nathan at all!
Find it at Nathan's usual haunt? Ah! According to the previous thinking, before the two came, Nathan was punished by the man for going to the beach. If he went to find it at this time. The first place should be the beach! Because that’s where Nathan wants to be!
But, can anyone see what Zach did? He made the connection between Nathan going to the beach and Nathan knowing the whereabouts of Teddy! Using a child's secret, this is a reason that all adults will accept and admit!
What were Wes' interrupted words? If it is an 'obstruction', what else can it hinder? Only the police investigation found out the whereabouts of the victim but never reported it! This is sin!
This typical honest middle-aged man from the South District didn't need to be too smart to make a very simple connection - if Nathan went to the beach, he would plead guilty!
The cause and effect is full of loopholes, but the man at a disadvantage has to accept the status quo! Because Wes had a businesslike police attitude from the beginning of the conversation, and what was Zach's attitude? Zach kept apologizing, admitting that he was wrong, defending Nathan's childish nature, and defending the man's role as a father. What is this? Isn’t it a typical black and white face
Zach just packaged it in a weird way!
"Oh, by the way." Zach suddenly remembered something, "Before you go look for it, make a few phone calls to inform the people around you and help you take a look." Zach smiled, "You're a kid, he can't run too far. of."
The man looked nervously at Zach, then at Wes, clenched his fist, and went to make a phone call.
Zach needed to seize the moment. He pulled Wes's arm, walked towards the door, and lowered his voice, "Mike and the others are already following Nathan. I asked them to do so without affecting Nathan..." Zach curled his lips, " Escort Nathan to where he wants to go.”
Wes pursed his lips, not wanting to see aliens influencing ordinary people's lives. He was actually the same as James, but he was more willing to look at problems head-on than James. It means that since Zach has already said 'without affecting Nathan', there is no need to worry.
"Taylor is here, and she has proven her ability, so whether it is on the beach or not, there should be gains." Zach was very pleased to see Wes didn't resist, but he still added, "I asked Mike to see I love her and won’t let her go too far.”
Wes nodded, also lowering his voice, "Do you really think Nathan will know the whereabouts of Teddy?"
Zach smiled and tilted his head, "He knows the beach, who's sure he doesn't know more."
Wes glanced at Zach, not knowing what he was thinking, and asked in a confirming manner, "So we are just delaying Nathan's father to let Nathan do his best, right?"
Zach nodded and unconsciously twitched the corners of his mouth, "This father seems to be a very nice man, but he is too much in the way."
Don't misunderstand what Zach meant. If the father hadn't stopped Nathan for a day and refused to let him go to the beach, maybe the police would have had new clues.
Wes pursed his lips and thought, not knowing what he was thinking. He hesitated for a while before speaking, "If no one is in the way, you should use those red eyes to get the result soon."
Zach raised his eyebrows and looked at Wes, "That's called the Charming Eye." Zach thought for a moment and turned away, "Not only can I get the results, but I can also get everything in the world."
The conversation has become divorced from the current events.
Zach's mouth curled up, "It's a pity, I'm just a vampire, except for blood, everything else is of little use to me."
Wes looked at Zach's side face, something flashed in his eyes, and he smiled inexplicably, "James said that you are playing the 'citizen game.'" Wes smiled and shook his head, " He would never trust a guy who treats real life like a game."
Zach tilted his head.
Weiss smiled and looked away, "But, I just want to say, thank you for your willingness to cooperate with this game." (..)
