In fact, you don't need Zach's extraordinary senses to guess that Coulson didn't come alone. Naturally, he was accompanied by his partner, James Lance.
Because Coulson was still in the stage of trying to please Grande and trying to make friends, it was really abnormal for him to drive his car directly into someone else's backyard so rudely. So it had to be some guy who already had a habit of parking in Grand's backyard to make Coulson do it, who else could it be? Only James.
"James." Zach looked at James getting out of the passenger car on the back porch, "I didn't expect you to come." Zach glanced at Coulson's car, "I didn't expect you to drive either. The police bus is here." The tone was dissatisfied. Coming to Grande was not an aboveboard matter, so why not avoid it.
You should be able to vaguely remember that Coulson does not have a private car due to family problems. His wife has a private car for picking up and dropping off his daughter.
"Uh..." Coulson got out of the car, looking a little embarrassed, "How do you know this is the police station's bus?"
It was Zach who was embarrassed, because when he and Louise first met, Louise noticed that this car was squatting outside a small bar, "Oh, it's just that since James is here, I thought it would be He drove here, but I didn't expect you to drive it, so I guessed it." James is rich, so the car is naturally his own.
"Oh, I guess it's pretty accurate." Detective Coulson didn't pay attention. "I drove this car because I didn't want to be followed. People in the southeast all know my old car. If I drive it out like this, they shouldn't dare to follow me." . If it’s James’ car, someone might be targeting it.” Coulson frowned, “The ‘General’ should be safe.”
Zach raised his eyebrows, this logic was right. The cooperative relationship between the 'General' and Coulson is not a secret. The people in the southeast failed to destroy the 'General', so they would naturally think that he is still alive, which is a typical trouble. Most of the time, he was paying attention to Coulson's actions. If Coulson really does something secretly. Maybe he was really targeted by these people and touched this place.
"Where is he?" Coulson finished explaining and immediately got to the point.
Zach raised his hand and pointed to the second floor, "Office, he is waiting for you."
Coulson didn't say much. Stepping onto the back porch and entering the stairwell. James followed quickly, but Zach grabbed him back with one hand and tilted his head, "What are you doing up there?"
James struggled for a moment and then gave up, "Didn't you say that I could ask him personally what happened?!" Ask this southeastern gang boss personally how he became Barton's second vampire.
"Are you going to ask in front of Coulson?" Zach looked at James with a bit of fun and asked.
James clicked his tongue, "Put me up."
"Don't worry. Coulson will not be in danger." Zach shook his head. Of course he could guess the reason why James came with him - his 'ignorant' partner Coulson was about to fight a vampire. How could James feel relieved about the secret meeting? !
"Benjamin is back." Zach raised his chin in the direction of Benjamin's warehouse, "Why don't you go say hello. After all, we have been 'playing' together in Newton for a week." Zach winked and smiled evilly.
James twitched his lips, turned around and walked towards the warehouse.
Zach sat on the bench on the back porch and listened to the conversation in the second-floor office.
"Damn it! I thought you were dead! Just buried somewhere! x!"
"x! There's no difference! I just feel like I'm dead! I'm still buried underground! I can't see the sun every day!"
Zach raised his eyebrows and tilted his head. Listen to the conversation in the direction of the warehouse again. James's footsteps were fast and he had already started.
"You're back. I thought you were going to die in Newton! There's a bunch of other people. There's only two of you!"
"That's because you are too stupid. If I thought there was danger, would I still allow you and Fitz and the others to go to the Comic Exhibition in Newton every day? Except for a tentative fight when we first arrived in Newton, what happened next? It didn’t happen, it was safe, didn’t Fitz and the others live a happy life?”
Think back! During the comic convention trip, James’ first message to Grande. They mentioned a little incident when they checked into the hotel. Then, Coulson informed Zach that Benjamin caused some trouble in Newton and he took care of it. Now it sounds like it was after two Alphas met. An exploratory move involving physical combat.
Test what? Test whether there is anyone else around Benjamin besides that yellow-haired Matthew! You can't even imagine this.
"It's just a test? Is there no danger? What happens next?! Don't think I don't know! Do you know what the police station discovered today..."
Zach raised his eyebrows and turned his head to listen to the conversation on the 'General's' side.
"Stop talking nonsense, tell me what's going on, what's going on in the southeast?!" This was Coulson's irritable question.
'General' began to answer, "Aix, have you heard of this man? He..."
Zach stood up. He didn't need to listen to the next words. During the time when the General was in Grande, Zach's ears had grown calluses from listening to these contents. Now, Zach was more interested in the conversation on James' side.
Just eavesdropping, which is not very glorious, naturally cannot satisfy our vampire interests. It has darkened. In the Grand backyard, Zach turned into a gray line and penetrated the warehouse. When his body stabilized again, James tapped his shoulders that were hunched with excitement from behind, "What happened?"
"xxx!" The expletive was so smooth that James jumped up from where he was and fell crookedly on Benjamin's bed, "Zach!! xxx!"
Zach smiled while arranging the slightly wrinkled clothes, and looked at James with a smile as he was pushed to the ground by Benjamin on the bed, "Do you need to be so surprised, James?" Zach raised his eyebrows, "Let me think about it. , we rarely seem to show our true power in front of you."
James got up from the floor in a somewhat embarrassed state and glared at Zach sullenly. That's right, James really didn't see Zach and Benjamin do anything super human in Grande, but it was their first encounter... Forget it.
"It's none of your business!" Again, James pulled up a chair irritably and turned his gaze to Benjamin, with a look of 'I'll tell you alone'.
Zach ignored this childish behavior, "When I called you this morning, I heard something. It was said that the police found a large number of broken corpses of Indians on the southwest side of the Paising border." Zach looked at Benjamin first, and Alpha looked disgusted. Zach looked at James again, and the guy's expression became even more gloomy. "Then. These bodies disappeared." Zach also pulled up a chair casually. , tapped James' shoulder again, "Is this what you want to say?"
James took a deep breath, inhaled, exhaled, deliberately ignored Zach, and looked at Benjamin, "The mutilated body was discovered last night, and only preliminary evidence collection was conducted. I took some photos, and I looked..." James Taking another deep breath, "I still remember these people, the werewolves in Newton."
Benjamin’s queasy expression became even worse.
But James is not considerate at all, okay, it’s just that he doesn’t know why our Alpha has appetite problems today, don’t blame him, “So don’t tell me there’s no danger! You still fought, right?! Is it me and Fitz just separated from you. The battle started! The corpses all appeared in Barton, that is, the battle continued until they entered the range of Barton! So. Don't tell me about Newton again... "
"You were in Newton..." Zach interrupted, "Did Benjamin say anything to you?"
James stopped his words abruptly, glanced at Zach gloomily, and said the same gloomily, "Benjamin said that the opponent can't beat him, so he's not afraid."
Zach smiled and raised his eyebrows. This is a fact, isn't it? The other party is now a corpse and digested food, and Benjamin is still here.
"There is only primary evidence collection. The police still don't know when those bodies appeared or why they appeared." James continued to stare at Benjamin. "That is to say, I don't know how long your battle lasted." James was also quite smart and thought quite comprehensively. "But two days ago, Zach..." James glanced at Zach in disgust. , if possible, he really doesn’t want to mention Zach, because it gives the other party a chance...
When it comes to the skill of forcibly interjecting, no one can compare with Zach. "I tell you the real cause of the fire. It is the newly established world law of the Indians that punishes Papa's midnight creation. I also informed you that Sibella is back." Zach curled his lips, "I hope you will be a little conscious and put down this case."
Zach's tone became helpless. Of course, if James had let go, Zach would not have brought Mollman here to persuade James this morning.
Zach waved his hand and couldn't go off topic, "You also know the actions of the Indians in the South and North Districts, the boundaries of the North and South Districts, and the full moon cycle. When you think of these few things together, you can guess that Benjamin is in a hard fight. , and dragged the battle to the border of Barton’s northern district.”
James lowered his head and looked at Zach gloomily, 'How annoying is this guy that he can finish all other people's words by himself? 'James hated this gesture from Zach.
Zach would not stop here and went further. He actually reached out and patted James on the shoulder, "So, you are actually angry now. You are angry that Benjamin put you and Fitz's group of ordinary people together when he was still in Newton." People are put in such a dangerous situation."
Ha, so please adjust the emotion when you saw James talking to our Alpha before. It was not concern and relief that Benjamin was back. It was what Zach just said, anger.
As we all know, once an emotion reaches its extreme, basically all we can do is give up. Just like James is doing now.
James pushed Zach's hand away, stood up from the chair, and stared down at Zach, "If I'm not angry, should I still be happy? The other party is so powerful that people like Fitz and I can't compete with it. ! If Benjamin had even a little bit of humanity..." He wanted to show some humanity, "he should have ended his trip to the comic convention early instead of continuing as if nothing happened..."
"This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard." Zach smiled, "What happened during the Comic-Con trip?" Zach tilted his head towards Benjamin, "Did Fitz and the others have fun? "
Benjamin moved on the bed, "Very."
"Of course I'm happy." Zach looked at James again, and now he just let him look up to him, "Fitz and the others went to Newton just for the Comic Con, and then spent the entire vacation happily. Danger? James, why don’t you ask Fitz if he feels any danger during his year-long trip to Comic-Con."
"You're just quibbling!" James said forcefully, "He can't feel it, it's because he doesn't know..."
"Is it a mistake not to know?" Zach narrowed his eyes and looked at, oh, looked up at James, "Do you have a sense of superiority now? You think you know because you know things that ordinary people don't know. More, can you meddle in other people's affairs at will? For example..." Zach curled his lips and turned away, "Because you know, Benjamin knows that there are dangerous werewolves in Newton, so you have to look forward to the Comic Con for a year. Fitz turned around and went home."
The vampire's perspective is always so tricky.
"James, your standards for people really confuse me." Zach shook his head, "You always question my character because I meddle in other people's affairs, even if I am helping people who are really in danger. Now. , and because Benjamin didn’t intervene, and in fact, there was no danger at all, and I’m here to blame him.” Zach deliberately clicked his tongue twice, “James, you are a mystery.”
For a moment, James' eyes darkened, and then the guy sat back in his chair. His breathing was steady, don't worry, he didn't die out of breath.
After a long silence, James spoke again without looking at anyone, "Do you know where those corpses went?"
"I know." Benjamin replied, "You police officers had better not..." Benjamin curled his lips and cooperated with what Zach just said. After all, he was assigned the role of 'not interfering in ordinary people's affairs', "I don't know. ,do not ask me."
James took a deep breath, raised his head, and looked at Benjamin with no expression, "The search team has begun searching in the woods." He added, "The degree of fragmentation of those bodies must not be discovered by civilians. So even though the police force is tight now, the chief still quickly recruited some people from the Western District Police Station to form a search team to assist."
Benjamin frowned and looked at Zach.
Zach, however, raised his eyebrows, with a worthless face, and was a little distracted. It's not Zach's fault. Zach doesn't know what the condition of those corpses is, let alone where they are. The situation is impossible to judge.
Benjamin clicked his tongue, "Did your search team find anything?"
"not yet."
"Go to Sibella and tell her the situation." Benjamin curled his lips. This was the best answer our Alpha could think of. Look -
"Did Sibella take away those corpses?" James asked immediately.
Benjamin turned over and said, "I didn't say that." (.)
