Fitz and Amelia actually knew each other, probably because of their relationship with the shelter, but the two just nodded and said hello in a symbolic way, and there was no communication. It was obvious that they just knew each other.
Fitz was originally here to deliver manuals. Seeing the busyness in Grande's backyard and the guest Amelia, he was not going to disturb him. "Actually, it's nothing special. It's just that the telephone lines have buses and branches, and then there are more." Insurance. If Grande wants to pretend, you can call me directly."
It was said to be a manual, but it was actually like a brochure, a thin folded long advertisement, "Insurance?" Zach deliberately left Fitz with him. He wanted to find an opportunity to remind Fitz to be careful about 'Benjamin' in the future.
"Well, wasn't there a problem with the entire Barton phone line at the beginning of the year..." Fitz's face began to look sad. The truth had never been revealed to him. His friend, the former dungeon master, was still in the police file. Maintaining its missing status, "the company has secured a loss compensation package for corporate and government users."
"What about ordinary citizens' home lines? Is there any compensation for losses?" Zach asked casually.
"No." Fitz was stunned for a moment, then shook his head. He probably hadn't thought about this problem.
Zach stopped asking, "We're all here, how about playing for a while? Then we'll stay for lunch."
Fitz thought for a moment and shook his head. It was still a long time before lunch, so he didn't want to disturb him too much. "I'm going to go to Noel (his friend's home is in Nole District) to have a look. I haven't been there for a long time. I'm going to clean up." For a moment." He looked a little sad.
"Oh." Zach raised his eyebrows and couldn't say more, because everyone still remembers that Zach went to that place some time ago, and the 'General' was 'born' there. This is not accurate. 'General' was born on Noel Beach. In order to prevent 'General' from being scorched by the sun right after he was born, Zach had no choice but to break into the nearby house where he knew no one would be there. I hope Fitz doesn't care that his friend's bed was slept on by No, and that the basement floor was scratched by 'The General'...
Still failing to remind Fitz to pay attention to 'Benjamin', Zach watched Fitz leave, twitching the corner of his mouth a little helplessly.
"What do you want to do to that telecommunications guy?" Emilia, who frowned, originally remained silent on the back porch. Fitz's car drove away before he made any sound.
"It's nothing, you won't care." Zach dropped his expression and smiled, "I remember you always emphasized that you will not participate in alien affairs, right?" He turned around and opened the stairwell door like a gentleman. , made a gesture of invitation and asked Amelia to go to the office upstairs.
Amelia curled her lips and walked in front. "I went to see Ryan." On the stairs, she had already begun to get to the point, obviously not going to waste time, "I guess that your so-called 'repair' failed."
It's not a failure, it's just not doing it at all.
"How did you make this assumption?" Zach asked with a smile from behind.
"It's just a basic psychological evaluation." Amelia was probably a little unhappy with Zach's smile, "When he mentioned you, he still had the same repulsive mood. So, I don't understand why you insist on keeping him here. What does Grande mean?”
"There is a difference between Mill and Grande." Zach naturally would not respond directly, but still kept smiling. "As for maintaining a feeling of rejection towards me, didn't you see Madison when you were at the mill? Haha." Zach's smile became more obvious, "That's the style of the mill. They all hate me as the big boss."
In front of the door of Grande's office, Amelia really didn't want to see Zach's face, but the annoying Zach insisted on taking a step forward. He opened the door for the lady like a gentleman, then bent slightly to invite her in, and thrust his cunning smile in front of Amelia's eyes.
Amelia's eyes twitched and she stepped into the office, "You are hopeless."
"If this is a compliment to my tolerance. Thank you." Zach then closed the door and sat behind his desk.
What could Amelia respond to? Say 'you're hopeless' again? I'm afraid I'll just get a 'Thank you again'.
"How did you know that Ryan was at the mill?" Zach began to pour the wine calmly.
"Lance." Amelia had to look away and frowned slightly, "He told me when he found me yesterday afternoon."
yesterday afternoon? Then James should have listened to Zach and asked Becky about the attack. Zach tilted his head, "Shouldn't he be talking to you about the attack on the shelter delivery truck? Why did he mention Ryan?"
Amelia twitched her lips impatiently. This process was a bit complicated. Think about it—
Ozzie Cozier saved Amelia, at least that's what Amelia told Louise on the phone. Zach asked James to ask Amelia, and an inevitable question would naturally arise during the detective's investigation: Why did Kozier save you? So it was inevitable that Emilia would explain how Ozzie Cozier had developed a strange and disturbing interest in her, and then continued to 'harass' her.
The idea is clear, Amelia finished talking about the holiday time on that Saturday when she and James traded, she was found at home by Kozier, harassed, and then naturally asked the question that she had to listen to. While piling up historical stories that he didn't want to know, what did James do with that morning's holiday.
At that time, James heard the same story, and then there were some other things, such as Linda's visit, Mr. Green's commission... and finally ended with him personally sending Ryan to the mill to report.
Of course, this is just for everyone to see. Amelia was not prepared or patient to talk about this process. She glanced at Zach and said, "Humph, don't worry, I will talk about yesterday's attack. Now I Talk about Ryan, my patient. Don't change the subject." For smart people, mastering the rhythm of a conversation seems to be an essential skill.
"What do you want to talk about?" Zach didn't feel any discomfort after being exposed and still smiled, "During the wedding, you supported Ryan to live independently. Now you see that Ryan has his own job and can support himself to live independently like a normal person. Are you unhappy?"
"You lied to me." Amelia twitched the corner of her mouth, a little angry, "James told me that Ryan woke up that day, and you lied to me at the wedding!"
"Well..." Zach trailed off, "Think about it carefully. I didn't lie to you." Yes, Zach didn't. He was just going around in circles around Amelia's words. Amelia thought she was listening. When it came to the answer, if she had to say she was lying, it was because she had lied to herself.
Amelia glared at Zach. After continuing for a while, he turned away his eyes and said, "You are hopeless."
This time, Zach didn't say thank you anymore, and our vampire was still a little self-conscious. Zach waved his hand and said, "You don't have to worry about anything about Ryan. I won't do anything to him. He is only left in the mill for the sake of other things that you don't care about." That's what aliens mean.
Sure enough, Amelia shook her head irritably. "Forget it, tell me what you want to hear. Oz Cozier, he has a letter and asked me to give it to you."
"Letter?" Zach raised his eyebrows again, looked at the handbag Amelia was looking through, took out a piece of folded paper, and took it. There is no envelope. I don’t know if it’s due to insufficient preparation or something. Eve's letter to Benjamin even had Rimmer's seal on it.
"Don't look at it now." Amelia saw that Zach had raised his eyebrows and unfolded the letter with a curious expression. He stopped and said, "I'm not finished yet."
Zach had already reached the beginning. Oz Cozier, it seems, is not only a man with extraordinary taste in clothes, but also a very 'caring' guy, because he knows to focus on the first sentence: Toledo from the Sabbat is here, a man and a woman, I don't know. Their target is you Grande, I don't know why...
Zach closed the letter again and looked at Amelia. No matter what he was thinking at this time, there was a smile on his face. "Then please continue."
Amelia could not and did not want to appreciate Zach's smile. She turned her head away and said, "James has already told me that you already know what Cozier is."
"Mind reader." Zach nodded. If the other party doesn't appreciate it, it doesn't mean he won't continue. A gentleman is an attitude towards life, not something so superficial in front of others. "Partner of the Sabbat. Are you willing to accept gifts at the wedding? The thing he is worried about that he cannot control - the alien race, is because of this and because Liszt and Quinn are now in a cooperative relationship with Kozier."
Zach said it in detail, with no special meaning. He was just deliberately expressing a point of view to Amelia. There are some things that you can't touch unless you don't want to touch them. But Amelia is a decisive person, and Zach can only remind her a little bit.
Amelia clicked her tongue, the reminder was received, but she was not ready to continue this topic that she still stubbornly wanted to avoid, "He was next to me when it happened." Annoyed, "I was giving directions to the driver. Because this is the first batch of medical supplies received by the shelter, the shelter has been renovated before, the driver is not familiar with the roads at all, and several new security guards at the shelter are undergoing vocational training at a security company, so for this small matter, I Went, and Kozier followed him from nowhere.”
This is describing the case. I wonder if the police have received this precious confession. Oh, of course not -
"Then Kozier..." Amelia shook her head and changed her title, "Oz, suddenly said in my ear that someone is about to blow up the transport truck, right here and now."
Smiling no longer fits the conversation. Zach frowned, "Oz, did you say who it is?"
Amelia glanced at Zach and did not answer, "I don't believe him." She shook her head irritably, "Of course I won't believe him. We are on Becky Street, at the intersection in front of Pixar Department Store, and there are people everywhere. , why should I believe him." When saying this, Amelia changed her posture unconsciously.
"Then he picked me up and walked towards Pixar Department Store." Emilia took a deep breath, "Then everything exploded in front of me."
Amelia took another deep breath and took out another object from her handbag, a metal wine bottle. Judging by the weight with which Amelia put down the wine bottle on her desk, she could already see that the contents were empty.
Zach frowned and looked at the woman opposite who didn't appear to be hurt in any way at least on the surface, "Amelia, are you okay?"
Amelia slowed down her breathing slightly and glanced at Zach. She really couldn't describe his expression, "Look."
Zach stopped asking, because as you can imagine, the news had clearly pointed out that the target of the attack was the transport truck, because it was the center of the explosion. According to Amelia's description, she was giving directions to the driver at the time. Please tell me, was she going to stand on the other side of the road and shout out the route to the driver from a distance? Of course not, Amelia is right next to the car door! The center of the explosion!
So, how fast can Cozier, a mind reader, run
Zach picked up the empty bottle and took it back, "I'll refill this."
Amelia didn't refuse, she just nodded very slightly. Perhaps at this time, we should feel the importance of gentlemanly spirit.
"We couldn't stay at the scene for too long. A large number of fleeing people quickly flooded into Pixar Department Store. Oz had to knock out a few people who were out of control before he made room for me... to recover..." Emilia He turned his head away, as if he didn't want to recall the situation at that time, "But some people still witnessed my recovery process."
You can imagine that scene.
Zack frowned and continued listening.
"Kozil told me afterwards that there was not much he could do at the time, except to amplify the panic and logic of people when the explosion occurred, and block the shock in the hearts of those who witnessed my recovery process. He said that this can It worked for a short time, but not long-term. I had to leave as soon as possible, so after he escorted me away, he temporarily returned to the scene."
"The police are here." Zack interjected.
Amelia nodded, "He couldn't let those who were questioned by the police tell me about my recovery process, so he stayed at the scene and continued to control people's psychology." Amelia paused, "Then he was asked by James Mushi saw it."
"Then James called me." Zach nodded, "Fortunately, you caught up and answered the call we called you."
Amelia let out a long breath, her eyes fell on Zach's face, and it seemed a little difficult, "Thank you."
The impatience that Emilia had shown since arriving at Grande finally turned into this somewhat difficult thank you.
Zach is a nasty guy, a nasty guy!
He put on a smile again, "Haha, which one are you expressing gratitude to? It was my gift that saved you." He shook the empty bottle that would be refilled later, "This is still the case, and far away in the south Grande, are we still concerned about your safety? Emilia, can you make your thanks clearer?"
The corners of Amelia's eyes twitched and she turned away, "You are hopeless." (.)
