For a family cemetery that had just buried an old couple, Bishop's family cemetery was so deserted that it made people feel sad. No flowers, no offerings, just a clean tombstone.
The funeral of the old Bishops was not hosted by Zach, so this was Zach's second time here, the first being Jackson's funeral.
"Old Bishop and his wife, are they dead?"
The surprised question came from James.
The five little guys had no idea why they were standing in front of the tomb. Aren't they the ones who wanted to come? The master of Grande, Zach, brought them here. Zach and James stood a little further away, adults needing to talk.
"Why, I don't know what special thoughts you have about Hua Bi Sharp. Are you familiar with him?" Zach asked with a chuckle. After all, it was just two guys who had nothing to do with each other. Do you need to be surprised
"No, no." James said gloomily.
Zach looked at James and took a look. This was the son of the famous General Lance in the West. It has to be said that Madison's words were buried in Zach's heart - no one from the west is simple. As the first person to come, James was unreasonably just a young police detective who was entangled by him and his life was in chaos.
"If you are interested, I can tell you that the old Bishops and his wife are no longer inside." Zach pointed to the Bishop family grave, "For the time being, only Jackson is there."
"What? What do you mean?" James glanced at Zach. He hated this feeling. He knew clearly that Zach was relying on him to guide the conversation now that he was the only one who knew what happened to Barton, but he could not resist this annoying rhythm.
"That's what it means literally." Zach shrugged, "Old Bishop's funeral was held privately, just to avoid being discovered, and he was buried in an empty coffin."
Annoy people! Damn it Zach, just spinning around in circles. Forcing people to ask questions!
James took a deep breath and said in a gloomy voice, "Why is it empty? Are the old Bishops dead?"
"They can no longer be dead." Zach waved his hand casually, "It's just some things that prevent their bodies from leaving Bishop Manor." Continue to circle.
"Do you want to explain these 'some things'!" James asked fiercely.
Zach raised his eyebrows, "What? Are you very concerned about the affairs of the Bishop family?"
James stared at Zach. Pursing his mouth tightly, he decided not to accept Zach's control anymore, fought back, and twitched the corners of his eyes, "No! I don't care!" James looked at Zach, who had not changed at all after a week, "I just came back, Just drag me into your bad things, don’t you care why Benjamin and Matthew didn’t come back.”
"Of course I care. But you will tell me." Zach's face became calmer and he looked at the few little guys standing in front of the tomb. "Do you want to tell me now, or do you have to wait for me to ask."
Taking a deep breath, "Something happened to Benjamin in Newton."
"So is this the reason why you called me back several times for unknown reasons?" Zach's voice was calm, not like he was concerned about Benjamin's condition at all.
"Of course!" James became excited, "I've been trying to find a way to contact you. Benjamin always interrupts me!"
"Then you keep trying." Zach shook his head and stayed in the mill for five days. Louise also reported several phone calls from James, sometimes in the early morning, sometimes at lunch, sometimes at dawn, all times when normal people would not be disturbed by phone calls, and the content was the same as what Zach heard twice. No beginning, no end, inexplicable.
James' eyes widened.
"Obviously Benjamin doesn't want me to get involved in his affairs, why do you just want to cause trouble." Zach waved his hand, as if he was impatient.
"You, what did you say?!" James couldn't believe what he heard. What is this vampire talking about? Isn't he Alpha's friend
Zach shook his head, impatiently, "If Benjamin encounters anything, just tell him."
"Stop talking!"
"If you can ensure that you won't say anything in the future, then don't say it." Zach chuckled.
"You!" James gritted his teeth, punched the air viciously, and tried his best to raise his chest and took three deep breaths in succession, "Benjamin met another Alpha, an Alpha with a whole pack of wolves!" He said it anyway.
In the quiet cemetery, five embarrassed children stood in front of Bishop's grave, and not far away stood two gloomy-looking adults.
After a moment of silence, Zach waved his hand and said, "Guessed it."
"What did you guess!" James' tone was very bad, "Have you ever asked Coulson about what happened to Benjamin in Newton?! You weren't worried at all and didn't go to help!"
Zach didn't ask. Remember, it was Coulson who found an opportunity to tell Zach. Benjamin was arrested for fighting in Newton. Coulson made some connections and let him go. Haha, a fight
"How do you think I can help?" Zach actually had a smile on his face and looked sideways at James, "Isn't it the first time I came into contact with a foreign race that we encountered the combination of Grande, me and Benjamin? , I made you misunderstand something." Zach's tone was full of a weird smile, "I'm not going to help, I'm going to hurt Benjamin."
James was at a loss for words. Only now did he remember what the relationship between vampires and werewolves was in the normal world. They were feuds. "What's the relationship?" James was quibbling, "It's not even the full moon. I've seen Benjamin. Having fought with them, if you were..."
"Shut up." The smile on Zach's face disappeared, and there was a gloominess rarely seen on Zach's face, "Do you think that werewolves with wolves can only fight when the moon is full, touch you If the werewolves were so weak, the Indian aliens would not have won the colonial war four centuries ago..."
It seemed that he was talking about something that Zach didn't want to recall. He clicked his tongue and said, "Enough about your affairs in Newton. Now that you are back, you'd better focus your energy on Barton." Zach stepped forward. Walking to Bishop's grave, "Don't go back to the police station to report today. Stay in Grande. You, the detective, need to know what happened recently."
Even if he no longer wanted to be led by Zach, James had no choice but to pointlessly contradict him, "If you want to say that Hermann's factory exploded, I understand. It was in Newton's newspaper. Report.”
Zach ignored it. "No, your police department is trying its best to cover up a suicide case in the southeast." Zach ignored James' momentary expression, "I only found out about this yesterday. Do you want to go back immediately?" Police station, listen to your people in the police station. They are assigned to work. Humph, should you stay in Grande first and find a way to understand the situation yourself? It’s up to you! "
Another choice thrown in James' face!
But just like the previous choice, James' personality does not allow Zach to use the Charm Eyes on five innocent children in front of him. At this time, James will not return to the police station and passively accept it.' Cover up' job!
Think about how James was so angry that he went to Newton for vacation. Isn't it the police department's neglect of the southeast? Covering up the corpse is more unacceptable than ignoring it!
James scowled. Keep up with Zach.
"What are you doing?" Zach turned his head and looked at James who was trying to follow, "I'm going to talk to those third-generation West Enders. Are you familiar with them? Do you want to join our conversation? Why are you following me? .”
James' face was red, holding back a sense of bad breath, clenching his fists, and staying in place.
"Is this how you come to see your 'friends'?" Zach approached the Bishop family's grave. He raised his voice to attract the attention of the five little guys.
Kepler and Falcon's siblings subconsciously backed away when Zach approached. Laura and the only fat boy faced Zach. Laura was fine, but the boy named Cody was a little trembling.
The reason for this is quite simple. After deciding to come to the cemetery to see Jackson at the elevator, Zach 'flyed' directly up from the vertical passage of the elevator and appeared again. I have changed my clothes and am back to normal. Zach seems to have stopped trying to hide himself.
Zach was helpless. The structure of New Grand gave him nowhere to go. When he returned to the reception room, he would meet the children brought by Louise, so he had no choice but to go directly to the office. Then he moved into the living area and changed out of his already miserable clothes.
"You don't need to be afraid of me." Zach had a smile on his face and turned to point to James standing far away, "Mr. Detective, didn't you say that I'm a good person. I'm just stronger. Bigger, faster, jumps higher, recovers faster... Haha." Zach laughed out loud to himself, and the universe can testify that he is definitely more than that, "Besides, I don't really want others to know these secrets of mine. .”
"Just like Superman in the comics doesn't want others to know his superpowers..." The one who spoke softly was the slightly chubby Cody.
"That's it." Zach smiled, thanking Fitz's group of nerds and Brian for getting along with him in recent days. "There will be bad people who want to take advantage of..."
"Your eyes will turn red!" It was Falcon's brother Sherlock who interrupted Zach, "And the injury on Sister Laura's forehead..." It seemed that he had mustered up the courage to speak, and the courage leaked quickly. Automatically silenced.
"So my superpower not only makes me faster and stronger, but also helps others." Zach smiled at Sherlock, the youngest here, "As for the red eyes, do you want to see them again?" Ke covered his eyes with his hand, "After reading this, you have to guess what abilities it has."
Putting his hand down, Zach's eyes were red.
"Can you guess it?"
"That Danny who suddenly appeared and disappeared!" No one had guessed yet. Kepler hid behind Laura and shouted. As a young girl, she obviously would not play such a childish game with Zach! "Isn't that Alice's brother?"
The redness in his eyes faded, and Zach raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I think this secret requires you and Laura to exchange it with Alice. Aren't you friends?"
"Alice..." Laura also joined the conversation.
Zach pondered for a while, "Alice has protected you many times in her own way, but it's not my place to talk about this. You are friends. You can talk to her yourself."
"So who are you?" Charlotte, the Falcon's sister, was the last person to join the conversation. "Is your Grande family like this, different from us?" There was a questioning tone.
"It does look different." Zach raised his eyebrows, "Is the difference a bad thing?"
The five people looked at each other. This question has long been answered. James said when calming their emotions, "Mr. Grande is different from other people, but he is a good man. If it weren't for him, you would all be seriously injured now, right? We can Trust him. I'm a police officer, this is my badge, I won't lie."
"Then Benjamin, Matthew..." Laura looked at Zach, the meaning in her eyes was very complicated. If the truth about Grande is revealed, Laura will have the most questions. Think about how deeply she interacts with Grande. To be honest, it is understandable if she thinks that she has been deceived at this time. of.
"They didn't come back." Zach responded first, "Why don't you wait until they come back and ask yourself, it's better, right?"
There was a brief silence among the six people.
"I have to confirm that you will keep my secret." Zach spoke again, "This matter only exists between the six of us. No one can tell it, just like Detective Lance said, not even my parents Your relatives can’t tell, after all, you are all safe and sound, there is no need to worry them, right?”
"Six of us?" Laura looked around at the quiet cemetery, "Where's Detective Lance over there? He asked us to keep it a secret, and he also knows about you..." Laura shook her head, "Grande The secret?"
Zach nodded, "Those seven people."
"What about Kyle?!" Laura seemed a little excited. Kyle's sister finally realized something.
Zach pursed his lips and nodded again, "Eight."
"Ah!" Kepler suddenly exclaimed. At this moment, it is indeed the advantage brought by age that the two girls have become rational and responsible. "Don't you and Blake have a good relationship? They are friends! He also knows ?"
"Nine." Zach curled his lips. It was like this. Zach pointed at the cemetery and said, "Ten." That's right, Zach was diverting his attention.
"What did you say?" It was Laura, "Jackson?!"
"Don't panic." Zach looked at a few guys who started to tremble again and smiled easily, "This is not a horror movie. I just, um." Zach looked like he was thinking, as if he was hesitating whether to do it or not. It's time to say, "I'm telling you, if you have anything you want to say to Jackson, I can get it to you."
"He..." He probably wanted to ask, 'Isn't he dead? 'Bar.
"This is another thing that needs to be kept secret." Zach looked very embarrassed, "I wonder if you can keep it secret?"
"Okay!" Charlotte, "Tell Brother Jackson that we miss him so much. Junior high school would be boring without him! I also want him to come to the manor to tutor me in math, and Cody still misses him helping with experimental projects. We all miss him!"
Zach looked at the girl and asked what he had asked before, "Why didn't you tell him this at his funeral? I didn't mean to scare you, I just wanted to say that Jackson showed up at the funeral. , but no one will find him." Relatives and friends spoke at the farewell ceremony, and only Laura and Kepler of the same generation attended.
"I..." the girl hesitated, "We don't like that funeral. It's a funeral for adults." You know, it's just a gathering place for adults. Those big shots in Barton, adults, who treat it as a funeral? Have you seen the real funeral
"It has nothing to do with us! And Kepler..." She looked at Kepler with reproachful eyes, "Why should she be sad? She is not familiar with brother Jackson, but she just took him to the Sub-North District. What's the matter? Amazing! She is sad, so I want to have fun..."
Well.
Zach pursed his lips. The third generation in the West District had to re-examine their views on their elders and the relationship between them. (..)
