Zach's route to the game night can explain something - he first went to Wes's house to confirm that Wes was not there, and then went to the South District Police Station to confirm that the rookie policeman who was being harassed by his boss was not at work. I had a great time going to the North District.
You guessed it, James, who returned to Barton, apparently invited his friend Wes to participate in his only entertainment in Barton - playing fantasy games with a group of nerds.
Then you might be wondering why Zach wanted Jason to be there too. In fact, this is a very offensive idea. For example, if we see two puppies of the same breed, we will subconsciously put the two together as a pair, regardless of whether they like each other.
Jason and Wes are not puppies of the same breed, they just share certain attributes. Just when we thought that a vampire's four centuries of life experience could sublimate his thoughts, he seemed to have made a mistake that we all despised.
But don't jump to conclusions too quickly. Zach wasn't entirely wrong. Think about it, how did Wes manage to infiltrate Fight Club? Jason brought it in. The two men had crossed paths before.
Regardless of how the facts unfolded at the time, Jason was able to invite Wes to join a violent illegal group that only had complete trust from within, indicating that Wes was someone Jason felt he could trust, and vice versa. Jason also confirmed that Wes was someone Jason could trust. Si will join. This trust exists in a 'bad' way.
Zach is now willing to try to develop this relationship. Why? If you tell me, everyone will be, well, sad.
No matter what everyone thinks of the relationship between Zach and James, the fact is that the relationship between the two is already in a very bad position. The so-called cooperation is also in jeopardy because the two people are suspicious of each other.
Do you need a reminder? Zach began to doubt the true purpose of James, the son of a general from the west, coming to Patton. And James also began to realize that every time Zach happened, he added a foreign accomplice to Grande, and these accomplices were becoming more and more 'dangerous'. The current situation is not good.
These mean. Zach might need a new cop, a replacement for, oh no, that's a gross statement, a replacement. Zach needs someone who works similarly to James to fill the void left by his occasional feud with James.
Chapman. This policeman who has been bound to the fallen angel Crowley is completely out of Zach's consideration, so who else? It was just Wes.
So, there is a dumbfounding question. James hates any form of contact between Wes and Zach! If this was a joke by James to acknowledge Zach's all-round charm, Zach could accept it comfortably and not bother to correct James' childish mistakes. However, if this has caused trouble to Zach's social behavior, Zach is not willing to passively accept it.
ah! The answer is out. So, Zach made this arrangement. If a Jason who had crossed paths with Wes, had a weird mutual trust, and were both single, could shut James up, then why shouldn't they be together
As for what to pair with a game night, it all depends on fate. After all, Dungeons and Dragons. It's a team game. Zach's calculation was good.
Arriving at the back alley of Lister, Jason stood uneasily at the door of the coffee shop, watching Zach walk directly to a short staircase behind the coffee shop and waving to him.
Jason walked over blankly, "Zach, Zach. What are we doing here..." His expression was very strange.
"Didn't I tell you, it's game night. We're just going to relax and have fun tonight." Zach smiled and went up the stairs first and entered the dark alley. At the end, the lift in the lift stopped at the top floor—James' home.
Look at Jason not moving. Zach pulled the young man over, "Don't your job include satisfying your customers?" Zach turned his head and looked at Jason, "Or do you like to go to places like Becky's?"
Jason frowned but remained still, "What is this place and who lives here?"
Zach curled his lips, "Ah, who did you see going up?"
"Wes." Jason answered uncomfortably, "I saw Wes went up with two beers." Remember, Jason couldn't beat Wes at all. He was beaten severely in a nightclub at that time. Had a meal.
"Oh!" Zach raised his hand, "This reminds me, I should order pizza." After saying that, he walked out of the alley and went to buy pizza across the street, leaving Jason who was completely at a loss in the alley. Mouth in a daze.
When Zach came back dragging a pile of pizza, he stuffed the stuff directly into Jason's hand and said, "Let's go."
"I, I don't want to go up there!" Jason yelled with his head sticking out of the pizza box.
"This is not okay." Zach continued to move forward indifferently, "The food is all in your hands. If you leave with the food, I will report you to your boss, Bob?"
Reasoning with vampires, haha, poor Jason.
Standing in front of the iron gate of James' house, Zach rang the doorbell.
With a crashing sound, the door opened, "Zach! Come in quickly, I'll be waiting for you!" The one who opened the door was Fitz. Obviously, James would not open the door for Zac, knowing that Zac would come. ! childish.
"I brought a friend." Zach pushed Jason forward, "He brought food."
"Perfect timing!" Fitz didn't even look who was coming, "Now we have two support characters!"
"Two?" Zach asked knowingly.
"Yes! James also brought a friend!" Fitz looked excited and lowered his voice, "He is also a policeman!" I must admit, it is cool to be friends with a policeman!
Zach had already seen Wes wearing a pointed hat and robe, holding a can of beer, and raising his hand to Zach with a kind smile.
Zach took the pizza box that Jason had deliberately raised and took it away regardless of Jason's resistance. "Fitz, get him ready. His name is Jason." He went to the bar.
The atmosphere froze for a moment.
The first was James. When he saw Jason's face, the emotions he was still trying to suppress couldn't be suppressed anymore. He stared fiercely at Zach, who was looking for dinner plates and placing pizza as if he were at home!
Of course James recognized this guy who was in room 105!
Then came Wes. Wes' shoulders were obviously twitching, and the beer bottle in his hand was slowly deforming. Remember how Wes behaved in a nightclub? He was the worst kind of person of his kind. The kind that hides itself and is full of aggression.
Jason wanted to run. Unfortunately, Fitz, who knew nothing, had already closed the iron door, and pulled Jason familiarly into the living room, introducing him excitedly, "Have you played before? What profession do you like? Warrior? Magic?" Archer? Ah! Do you have any racial preference? Elf? Dwarf? Another support role is the warrior, and I highly recommend you as the healer. How about you two as a team!…”
This game night must be very interesting, haha, let's just briefly mention it - the dungeon adventure went through several hours of hard work, with disagreements, betrayals, and cannibalism, and finally ended with the total destruction of the entire team.
Zach's 'abacus' was shattered to pieces. The homeboys also left in the night with sad regrets.
But Zack came to the end, sitting on James' couch that was as hard as a brick. He looked at Wes, who was chewing cold pizza, with a smile, and then at Jason, who had his head lowered and his whole body was full of anger. "You two should sum up your experience. As teammates, how can you..." Zach said Talk about things in the game, trying to save the 'abacus' that is already in pieces.
James interrupted Zach while cleaning up the remaining trash after the game. "You still haven't left!"
"Oh?" Zach immediately turned his attention away from the two people and looked at James. He didn't mean to help James clean up, "You wanted me to leave, I thought you wanted to talk to me."
"I have nothing to say to you!" This morning, James had just been forced to obey Zach's arrangements for the events in the Sharp Manor, and James' resentment had not yet dissipated.
"Yeah, I thought you would be curious about how I came to be with Jason." Zach was extending an olive branch. It depends on whether James can answer it or not.
There was disgust in James's eyes, "Not curious!"
Zach was a little disappointed, waved his hands, and said, "I received a new commission. Have you heard of Herman's brother?"
Jason looked at Zach in confusion at this time. Zach ignored it.
"I've heard of it, the unknown middle class." Zach said the commission. James had to force himself to pay attention, but he still looked at Zach gloomily, "This is the same as this dangerous member of the original Fight Club (Jason) what is the relationship!"
Jason frowned. The Fight Club case was solved 'successfully' due to Zach's participation. Although these club members who actively cooperated with the police were not severely punished, they still left some minor criminal records, such as Small things like fighting in public places and damaging public facilities. Dangerous elements? It's too serious.
"James, you are so rude." Zach chuckled, "He was the reason why Wes successfully infiltrated, and he was also the witness who later cooperated with your investigation and elimination of the club. Show some respect."
This time James didn't give Zach any malicious expression, but looked at Wes with a frown when Zach mentioned Wes. Remember, as the Southern District Police Department's secret assistant, Weiss, who cooperated with the North District operation, his action report does not exist in official records.
Therefore, there was no written report on the content of Weiss's action. James could guess it, but he also knew that with Wes's character, he would never take the initiative to say it. Zach suddenly mentioned that James cared more about his friends than he hated Zach...
Wes just moved his butt, showing no expression. Jason lowered his head and did not move.
Zach observed the reactions of these people. Oh, by the way, there is no need to wonder whether Zach knew the detailed situation at that time, of course he knew! At that time, Wes was the heel of the shapeshifter Jin. Jin was still Grande's loyal Great Dane at that time. On the contrary, Zach was completely unaware of the situation on James' side at that time, which led to a series of things that happened to Herman later.
"Stop talking about this." Zach waved his hand, and the 'bacus' was broken to remind James, but if it can remind James to pay attention to the relationship between Wes and Jason, it wouldn't be too much of a failure," continued This Herman’s brother, Boone Herman.”
Zach patted Jason, preparing what he was going to say next, "Today, he came to entrust something related to your insurance company."
Jason raised his head, looking surprised.
"Sorry." Zach tilted his head, "Grand doesn't need insurance. I just found a reason to contact your company."
"You..." Jason didn't know what expression to use.
"Boone said that his workshop suddenly suffered a fire accident." Zach ignored Jason's entanglement and continued, "Your insurance company determined that he deliberately set the fire to defraud the insurance. But Boone insisted that he did not..."
James interrupted Zach again. Although he only listened to the beginning, he seemed to have made a judgment that it had nothing to do with the alien race. In other words, it was not something that James cared about, "You Grande Don't talk about it in my house!" He was expelling guests.
"James, you should be more patient." Zach ignored James, "Boone mentioned that he called the police twice, but was ignored by the police. The current situation is that there is no fairness in the police on-site investigation, and it has become He used his side of the story to fight against the insurance company’s ruling.”
Zach raised his eyebrows, "He said it more seriously, saying that it is related to the reputation of 'Herman'." Zach chuckled, "Now the real Herman has... Haha, you all know it. So. That's probably true. So, James, do you want to defend your police department? Why did the Northern District Police Department ignore Herman's call?"
James opened his mouth with an ugly expression, and finally choked out, "How do I know! I'm dealing with matters at your Bishop Manor!"
"You are not dealing with Bishop Manor, but me. You were involved in an incident that you shouldn't be involved in, and I saved you again. Humph, and this is not a reason at all." Zach responded directly, "The fact is now, Boone .Herman did not have the impartiality of the police to investigate the cause of the accident and had to come to me, the owner of a funeral home, to solve the problem."
Do you hear what Zach means? He, Grande's vampire, not only wants to clean up James' aftermath, but also cleans up the mess that James' police station neglected!
When Zach was about to drive James to death, Jason came to the rescue, "Wait a minute. You mean Boone Herman? The fire accident in the trophy company?"
"Yes." Zach turned his attention away from James, who was on the edge of the explosion, and looked at Jason, "Do you know about this case?"
"Uh..." Jason frowned and looked at Zach with a flicker in his eyes, "I work there, of course I know. Did you accept his commission? What does he want?"
Zach shrugged, "I told you, he insists that it was an accident and there was no insurance fraud, and he wants to overturn your insurance company's ruling."
"Uh..." Jason's face looked ugly, "I think, Zach, Zach, you should reject this commission. This is impossible..." He suddenly shut up and glanced at Zach's eyes with some fear. He bounced away immediately, "Unless you use some of your abilities..."
Zach smiled and said, "That's the original plan."
James' cheek twitched, and before he could speak, Zach raised his hand and continued to ignore James, "But I didn't expect you to show up. After all, we know each other. I appreciate your frankness and cooperation in the later stages of the club incident. So, I changed my mind." Zach curled up one corner of his mouth, "Try to keep it within the artificial range."
Jason smiled reluctantly, still not daring to look into Zach's eyes, "It would be better for you to reject it. Well, the fire in his workshop was too, too ridiculous, no, impossible..."
"You're talking about ridiculous fires." Wes threw away the pizza, rubbed the food residue on his fingers with each other, and suddenly joined the conversation with an expressionless face, "Did strangers suddenly spontaneously combust and then burn down the surrounding buildings? absurd."
Jason looked at Wes with a complicated expression, "How do you know?"
"I'm a police officer." A certain muscle in Wes's eyes twitched, as if he was about to beat someone up at the next moment. His tone was ferocious, because the person speaking was Jason, "Of course I know."
Zach raised an eyebrow, Wes is a police officer in the South District, so there are such ridiculous accidents in the South District? Oh, this is not the time to think about this, but to watch, watch James.
James' face was very ugly. It seemed that at this time, he was the only person here who didn't know about the ridiculous fire in Barton. But he is a police detective from the North District! (..)
