The exchange between Moorman and James on the phone lasted a bit long because Zach didn't explain what James' role was to Grande and what James knew.
The only thing he told Moorman was, "Detective Lance, you met last time. Now he and his partner are investigating the fires that occurred in the South and North Districts. They are helping the Rio Grande people and letting him identify them." Understand the dangers of things.”
Be irresponsible. I can’t blame Zach. James, a human being, has a fate with Grande. It’s too troublesome to explain...
So Moorman, who was holding the phone, always looked troubled. Every time he mentioned something related to alien races, he looked at Zach with searching eyes. He only spoke when Zach nodded to indicate that he could speak.
Of course, when James first picked up the phone, Zach had asked James to come over. It was not appropriate to talk about interracial things on the phone. But James refused, saying 'I'd rather just listen here! ' as a reason. Zach's understanding was very thorough - James' 'this' is a police station that is all human, and Grandry is a foreign race. The atmosphere is inclusive. What else could it be
But Zach was right. Fortunately, the phone was handed over to Moorman, the guy who had given James some help in understanding Barton's situation when James had just returned to Barton last time. He said it personally.
When he heard that the Indians had created a barrier that changed the laws of the world, James only said "yes"; when he heard about the siren, he said "yes" twice; when he heard about Papa's creation at midnight , say 'yes' three times, and take a deep breath...
All in all, I finished listening to Mollman's story quite peacefully.
"Oh, oh!" Moorman glanced at Zach nervously. He was not sure what he said and could prevent the police detective on the other side of the receiver from realizing the danger. "Papa Midnight. It's from Indian witchcraft." Ancestor…”
"I know." James on the other side of the receiver tried his best to speak calmly and lower his volume. "The walking corpses and dead disciples that appeared before Barton were his doings. They are very dangerous."
"Oh..." Moorman blinked and glanced at Zach. The message is 'This detective knows so much...'.
Mollman's story has ended. Zach took the phone and it was time to summarize, "James, you heard it all. Listen to the news these days." Sitting in front of Hayate's house was boring, except for listening to the radio. Zach had nothing to do, "Coulson seemed to connect the fire to the past." Saint Sissy's club remnants.
"This is very smart." Zach gave this comment. "My client (Boone Herman) is also very satisfied that the police included his workshop in the attack (with police justice. The insurance aspect is also It's over), everyone gets what they want. Let's get rid of it. I don't need to explain to you the dangers of things related to Papa Midnight. Except for the Dead Apostles, don't forget Old Mel's Teddy and the Republic. the original reason.”
Surprisingly, James didn't say anything to refute immediately. In his gentle breathing, you could hear Coulson's curious words on the side - "This phone call is really long..."
"James." Zach frowned, "Did you hear that?"
"The Merman who just spoke to me, the mermaid, is the alien from Barton?" James asked in the receiver. The volume is very low.
Zach twitched the corner of his mouth, not quite understanding what James meant. He glanced at Moorman who didn't know what to do across the way, and responded, "It's the lifeguard on Noel Beach." It was to correct James. The way things are received.
"Alien!" James' voice was gloomy, of course. Also lowered the volume.
"Lifeguard." Zach curled his lips.
"Alien!" James was very persistent, "Don't affect my opinion! It is! You don't need to add his other identities! What I want to ask is whether he originally lived in Barton!"
Zach raised his eyebrows, is this important? "Yes. Is there any problem with this? I need to remind you that this is the second time he has helped you..." Zach glanced at Moorman, who was getting nervous. This guy's face was full of 'What happened to me? Made the detective unhappy? '
Zach pursed his lips and shook his head. Zach is naturally accustomed to thinking that James is just showing his usual prejudice against foreign races. Zach didn't want to dwell on that kind of thing. Changing the subject, "Didn't Coulson worship with his family today?"
"None of your business!" James always answered.
"I have some other important information that I need to tell Coulson." Zach paused deliberately. Do you know what Zach was going to say? 'General'.
Zach's priorities are very 'scientific'. He first talks about things that are for the safety of James, and then talks about things that will 'explode' James. This is called courtesy first, shit later.
"It's about the southeast." James listened to the other side of the receiver with amusement, swallowing back what he wanted to say, most likely 'You vampire, don't mess with my partner! 'Such nonsense.
Zach continued, "Or I can tell you the same, you are partners anyway."
"Say!" The calmness that James tried his best to maintain was completely lost.
"The 'General' is still alive and is hiding in a safe place for the time being." Zach raised his eyebrows in his office to help his tone, "You can just say this to Coulson."
There was silence on the other side of the receiver for a while, "You don't need to tell us." James' tone actually became calmer, "We have conducted our own investigation, and the body of 'General' has not been found. His gang's men have all found the same thing." Now." The volume returned to normal, apparently sending a message to his partner.
Sure enough, Coulson's voice appeared in the background of the receiver, "What are you talking about? There is news about 'General' in Grande?! That's right! They are all in the same circle (gray professional circle)! Why do I Never thought to ask!”
"James." Zach tilted his lower lip, "You'd better put Coulson away first. You didn't listen to me carefully. That's what you could tell Coulson just now. Of course, I still have some feelings for you. You can tell Coulson what he doesn't need to know."
There was a loud gasp on the other side of the receiver, and I didn't know what James' expression was at this time. I only heard Coulson yelling, "What are you doing! Let me hear it!" and James Shi Shi made some pushing noises and made an extremely irritated voice, "Don't get so close to me! I'll tell you later of course!!"
Zach raised an eyebrow. Good opportunity, "'General' has become my descendant. In the basement of Grande, he is still practicing activities in the sun recently, soon."
The person on the other side of the receiver didn't have the energy to respond to Zach, only—
"What did he say?" Coulson's voice.
James' push.
"x!" swear word. "It's the news from my informant! I'm here to talk to him!!"
"The General's Bar was the first to be found and attacked when the chaos began in the Southeast." Zach continued as a weird plastic squeezing and pulling sound came from the receiver, which seemed to be the microphone being snatched. Let’s hope the police department’s phone calls are of excellent quality.
However, Zach believed that young James would not lose to Coulson. The proof is that James' heavy breathing is still the clearest in Zach's ears, "But 'General' was lucky. Nuo happened to ask him for something at that time, and the two of them avoided the attack. But the two of them were not safe. , has been evading pursuit until he was desperate. Nuo contacted me. "
"Coulson! Get out!!!"
Zach frowned and moved the receiver slightly away from his ear. James over there burst out. After this somewhat shocking roar, Zach found that the noisy police station in the background had become quiet.
Then the silence lasted awkwardly for a while, and the noise continued. James' familiar forced calm breathing appeared in the receiver again, "You continue." There was no more harassment from Coulson.
At this time. It's really not the time for Zack to show off his bad taste again, but when have our vampires ever cared about that? He smiled. "James, he is your partner, it is not good for you to do this."
"continue."
"Okay." Zach tilted his head, "But at that time, I was still too late, and my best efforts only kept the result from being the worst. The result is what I just told you. Unfortunately, 'General's' talent is not good. , even today, he can only stand in the sun for a while, before he can assist the police and return to Coulson's identity as an informant. It will take a few days." I have to admit, Zach expressed the focus of the matter, which made people... calculate Yes, everyone understands.
"As for what happened at that time, I don't think you want to hear my version. You can ask him yourself."
There was a long silence on the other side of the receiver. From the perspective of the people at the police station, including Coulson, it was only Detective Lance who frowned and listened to the phone with concentration. That concentration was obviously a very important thing.
"Wes asked me yesterday." The unusually calm voice said, "If Barton had another 'person' like you." The brief pause represented what James really wanted to express, vampire, "It's not you, it's someone else." Man, would I have a better attitude.”
Zach was very pleased that Wes did what Zach asked for. "Oh, what a coincidence." Zach squinted his eyes and said with a smile, "Then how did you answer?" Zach really wanted to know the answer. .
"I won't take care of the fire case." Well, James didn't answer! To be honest, if he had used this method to get along with Zach, he wouldn't be so frustrated.
Zach was stunned for a moment, and he could only swallow it, "Well, I'm glad you listened."
"But I won't let go of the fire in Smith's warehouse." Still calm.
Zach's eyebrows immediately furrowed, and the corners of his eyes twitched unconsciously, "Why." Zach's tone was not good. Because as everyone knows, when James "kindly" informed Zach Coulson about the Smith warehouse fire, Zach stimulated James because of his own emotional relationship, which is equivalent to promoting the connection between two unrelated fires. . At least James, who knew that the fire had nothing to do with it, did not interfere with his partner's actions.
"Because the media is paying attention to this."
What the hell is this answer
Zach's frown deepened, "James, you know what happened in Smith's warehouse, don't do anything meaningless. Dylan..." Zach shook his head, "That was an accident."
"That's all, nothing more. Nothing else to do." Objectively speaking, don't blame James for not telling Zach at this time that Smith having two young ladies is not a human thing. He is in the police station and can say Things are limited. Subjectively, everyone is free to do so.
Zach held the receiver that had already heard the hang-up sound, pursed his lips, and hung up.
"What's wrong with me, Detective Lance..." Mollman, still sitting across from the desk, asked after seeing Zach finally end the call. But what he cared about was really not important, so no one seemed to care if he was interrupted.
Benjamin stood next to Mollman holding a dinner plate and looked at the seat occupied by Mollman. The meaning was obvious enough.
"Then, then I'm going back!" Mollman looked up at Alpha, immediately jumped up, said goodbye, and went out. Leave him alone.
Benjamin looked around the office as he sat down, chewing food in his mouth, and commented on Grande's new office, "It's just that the direction has been flipped, nothing changed." That's nonsense.
Zach immediately threw away any previous emotions and nodded with a smile, "The original is very good. But I thought you would avoid me for a while just because of your appetite."
Benjamin shook his head, "No, there is a new stench everywhere. I would rather find a familiar stench and stay there." Ignoring Benjamin's straightforwardness, there is no doubt that this new stench he is talking about, It means 'general'...
Zach smiled helplessly, "About 'General', I want to have a good chat with you..."
Benjamin waved his hand, as if he understood everything, "No." He twitched the corner of his mouth and made a dissatisfied expression, "Since he is here, you'd better not say anything."
Our vampire handed out one with great relief, you know the look in my eyes.
"I have other things to say." Benjamin fiddled with the things on the dinner plate. It's better to mention this detail because it's a bit unusual - he moved away the meat, "Sibella told most of the situation, and I'm too lazy to repeat it. . And a little bit, it’s an accident.”
Zach had a curious expression on his face, "Is it the reason why it took you so long to come back?"
Benjamin nodded, "I thought you didn't want outsiders to hear it, so I didn't mention it just now." Naturally, it was referring to Moorman who had just left.
Benjamin continued to fiddle with the food a few times, put the last non-meat thing into his mouth, and put down the plate, "At the border of Barton, while fighting other werewolves, I was hit..."
the phone is ringing.
Benjamin twitched his lips and said, "Illusion, Rimel's illusion."
Just as Zach raised his eyebrows, Benjamin had already stood up and picked up the plate he was no longer eating from. "You answer the phone and I'll ask Alice to make something else." Let's go...
"Uh..." Zach watched Benjamin walk to the east side. According to the reference direction of Grande's office, it was correct, but now, it was the wrong direction, "Benjamin, that's the exhibition hall over there."
Benjamin spun around in circles, raised his eyebrows and said, "I know."
Zach smiled and shook his head. It's not a shame. Zach has made this mistake too, remember.
"Grand..." answered the phone.
"It's me! Coulson!" The voice on the receiver was very urgent, "Lance told me, 'General'..."
Zach could understand the urgency, but, "It is not appropriate for him to show up now. Detective Coulson should stop asking, for his safety."
"I know, I know!" Still eager, "It's just... Uh! Do you know where he is? Is he safe? I need to see him! I have too many things to do... Can Mr. Grande arrange it?! Can you Make sure he is still alive, and you must be able to contact him, right! Can you help me contact him?! Let us meet first! I promise! Make sure everything puts his safety first!"
Zach pursed his lips. He was thinking, if Coulson was asked to focus on Southeast and the 'General', could the detective forcefully pull James away and also focus on the 'General'? Media attention to Smith's warehouse 'where to turn away
Under Coulson's constant and urgent urging and request, the thinking came to fruition.
"Okay. I'll see what I can do." Zach replied. (.)
