"How's Coulson doing?" Director Cologne said as soon as he sat down. This is a serious proposal to make a substitution.
"No." Zach stopped his expression, "That was a 'warning' for him to mess with my girlfriend."
Colon looked at Zach, who was pouring wine behind his desk, and frowned slightly, "So the relationship between Lance and your Grande has reached this deep level? His sister and girlfriend are so familiar, and he is no longer an outsider. .Police detectives and informants, just 'by the way'."
"Well, you can say that." It was too difficult to define the relationship between James and Grande, and Zach had no obligation to explain it to the director in front of him. Perhaps he could say something like, "When we met James, we were still I didn’t know he was a police detective. So our relationship didn’t start with police and citizens.”
"Then can I ask how it started?" I don't know if Cologne is really curious about this question or if he has other demands.
"The director knows that I have just come back and haven't had lunch yet, so I'm here to hear the reason why you are here." Will Zach answer honestly? Colon was too naive, "Well, since I have been a responsible host, how about the director also being a considerate guest." Zach raised his glass and said, "Tell me why you are here."
Grande's master is more difficult to deal with than Cologne expected. He thought he was perfectly concealing the slight twitching of his eyes, "Okay." He took out the file, spread it out on the desk, opened it, and pushed it towards Zach, "This is your file."
"Time~" Zach actually reached out and touched the black and white photo of himself, "Look at how young I was back then. Look, you can barely see my pores."
A vein protruded from Cologne's forehead, "I want to ask you a few questions, and you must answer them honestly..."
"Am I being interrogated?" Zach tilted his head. ask.
"Uh, no."
Zach gave Cologne a smile, "Then ask."
The bulging veins on Colon's forehead bifurcated. "During the war, it said that you were doing business in the west with your mother."
"The war-torn times, the turbulent years. Alas." Zach sipped his wine and shook his head, "It's hard to miss."
"Just doing business?"
Zach seemed dissatisfied with the other party's questioning. Naturally, he had already made it clear that he did not want to recall this guest's inconsiderate pressing. Zach shook his head, "I don't understand what the director wants to ask?"
Zach certainly understood that he had listened to half of the conversation between Louise and James in the basement. It was enough for him to grasp the meaningless 'medical experience'. The response has already been thought out, well, not completely, so Zach cannot be the first to attack and needs to act later. As for how to do it, we have already started, just keep reading.
"My question is simple. You came to Patton after the war, but before that. Besides doing business, what else did you do?" Director Cologne's eyes were a bit threatening.
"Bury my mother with your own hands." Zach put down the wine glass and looked back at Director Cologne, "If this is what you want to ask."
When the other party's expression was frozen, Zach withdrew his gaze and looked at the file in front of him. It seems like a narrative of a person's life on such a formal document. Somewhat coldly, "Hey. It seems to have been written very clearly here. After my mother died of illness, I contacted my younger brother Benjamin who retired from the army after the war. I returned to Barton to look for my father."
Zach didn't seem to want to continue reading and closed the file, "Excuse me, Director Cologne, is there any reason for asking these questions? Did Grande do anything, um, inappropriate? Haha, after all, a director brought my The file came to ask about my life experience, which made me a little... confused."
Colon watched Zach's fingers tapping the cover of the closed document and frowned, "What disease does your mother have?"
"I don't want to talk about this." Since the other party was not prepared to explain Zach's 'doubts', and at the same time, this was not an interrogation, Zach could say this without any burden.
"Did your mother receive any special treatment..."
"I don't want to talk about this." Zach looked directly at the other person with a sad and firm expression.
"Benjamin joins the army. It's just you and your mother in the west..."
Zach shook his head, fully demonstrating that he no longer wanted to continue the topic, "I have already said, don't force me to recall the bumpy experience during that period."
"Is there a secret to this experience?" Director Cologne spoke quickly and in short sentences in order not to be interrupted.
Zach turned his head and took a deep breath. It seemed that after he didn't have time to interrupt, he didn't want to say more at all.
"Have you learned any, any, medical treatment or medical care?!" Colon's eyes followed Zach closely, and he thought he had caught something, "For your mother's illness?!"
Zach turned back and looked directly at Cologne again, his eyes cold, "Director, do you mean anything by these words?"
Does it make sense? Zach's 'mother' died of illness, and Zach and Benjamin came to Barton. Oh, does it make sense
Colon stared into Zach's eyes, reading what he thought he was saying, "Where did you learn that?!" Zach didn't deny it, right
Zach shook his head again and looked away, as if he really didn't want to continue this conversation.
"Benjamin, your brother, you have such a relationship." Colon stared at Zach for a long time, then spoke again, confirming, "Those military doctors on the battlefield, are I right?"
"I don't have anything to say." Zach raised the glass, emptied it, and then filled it again.
"I need an answer. Yes, or wrong!" He pressed so hard.
"This makes no sense." Zach repeated his attitude, his eyes falling on a random corner of the office.
"Hmph!" Director Cologne snorted with no meaning, "You have illegally practiced medicine on the battlefield! You use the lives of soldiers to learn..."
"Let's stop here." Zach suddenly stood up and looked at Cologne with cold eyes. "It seems that the director is not a welcome guest of Grande." He made a farewell gesture and pointed to the door on the east side of the office.
At this point, after Zach deliberately mentioned "the unforgettable experience and the death of his mother due to illness", he didn't refute a word and allowed Cologne to do what he wanted. The backhand response was over.
"This is not an interrogation." There was nothing surprising. After Cologne got what he wanted... to be precise, what he thought he wanted, he withdrew his previous gaze and softened his mood. "I'm just confirming a few things."
Zach still pointed in the direction of the door and didn't respond.
"I want to start over." The guy who has offended others is asking for a new start, haha.
The other party didn't move, but Zach moved. He retracted his hand, held his own wine glass, and turned towards the door on the west side, apparently about to leave the office. Leave this 'unwelcome guest' alone.
Please understand Zach's current situation. He can't say more. If he says more, he will make more mistakes. This is a simple truth.
It was already very reluctant to close the loophole in the 'medical experience' that James poked, but he still didn't know why Director Cologne was here. That's the point. Zach needs to force the other party to spit out this reason as soon as possible before he can continue to deal with it.
"Wait a minute! Please wait a minute!" Colon didn't seem to expect Zach's attitude to be so tough, and began to regret his previous pressing. He stood up, his eyes following Zach's back, "Do you remember Ike J?"
Zach didn't stop. He has already opened the door, stepped out, and is about to close it with his backhand.
"He's going to die!" The director, worthy of saying that the police station was his, walked behind Zach in two steps and held the door, "You saved his regiment on the battlefield! He insists that you can save him again!"
Zach's movement was hindered, he turned his head and glanced at Director Cologne who was stuck in the door, and pulled the door handle with force again. Trying to close the door—
First, Zach doesn't remember this Ike Jay. second. Zach has saved many regiments on the battlefield, but can he admit it? Cologne himself reasoned that 'illegal medical practice' was no small crime.
Zach's strength couldn't 'match' the police chief, so Zach gave up and left the door alone. move on.
"Hey! Mr. Grand!" Director Cologne chased Zach, who had already walked up the stairs. "Can you hear me out?" His attempt to hold Zach spilled the wine glass in Zach's hand.
Zach looked gloomily, glanced at his red-stained sleeves and trousers, and threw away the empty glass, making the sound of the glass hitting the wooden floor. He walked forward and continued downstairs, while taking a look at James who was frowning and looking up at the bottom of the stairs.
This scene is really ugly.
There are even uglier ones.
"Detective (James)! Stop him!"
James stopped in front of Zach with a strange expression.
Zach looked at James in front of him, then looked back at Colon, who had a ferocious look on his face, and finally, at Mo who stuck his head out from the restaurant and looked at this side.
Okay, almost failed. We should still remember that Mo’s dining relies on acting. She, a female ghost from the Republic, didn't have Jin's enthusiasm for eating. At this time, she used her wide eyes and raised eyebrows to express her curiosity about what was going on with Zach.
Zach almost laughed.
Just barely. Zach turned around and faced the police chief on the steps, "Chief Cologne, what does this mean? Do I need to ask for a lawyer?"
Cologne's expression was absolutely ferocious now, and Zach was staring closely, "I just want to have a good talk with you!" He gritted his teeth. Every ugly scene has an embarrassing protagonist, and that protagonist is either Zach, James, or Cologne himself, "Privately! In your office!"
"Here." In order to show his determination, Zach moved sideways on the one-foot-long step, stood straight in the center of the step, looked up, but looked at the 'protagonist' expressionlessly, "Now."
Colon's face began to turn red, his eyes moving first to Zach and then to James behind Zach, and finally sideways as the Grand members at lunch joined Mo.
Everyone looked at Cologne, and a strange feeling appeared. Even though James was ordered to stop Zach, at this time, it seemed that all the eyes behind Zach were from Grande... Support . Can you understand
The weird atmosphere lasted for a few seconds. Cologne suddenly lowered his head, took out his notebook and pen with trembling emotions, and quickly wrote something, "Ren Ci Hospital, go here!" He quickly tore off the paper, Pass it to Zach.
Zach's eyes fell on the torn edge of the paper, which was covered with wrinkles. It was the floor and room number, and it was noted that it was the custodial room. I did not answer.
The teeth were closed, and only the lips moved, "Please!"
Zach reached out and took it.
"Please hurry up! He doesn't have long left!" Cologne added the last sentence, turned around and headed up.
The third second after the director's figure disappeared into the office, there was news that the door on the east side had been opened and slammed in various ways. You can leave it alone.
Zach held the address between his fingers, tugged at the corners of his mouth, and shook his head. When he turned around, James snatched the paper from his hand. James doesn't need to grab it, and Zach won't stop him.
"What is this?!" Cologne is gone, but James will not leave so easily.
Zach smiled at this time, easily sidestepped around James who was blocking the stairs, and waved to the watching Grand members, "There is nothing to see~"
"I asked you what is this?!" James grabbed Zach's sleeve and pulled it to the sleeve that had been spilled with wine before, and he was inexplicably excited.
"Probably the ward of a man named Ike Jie." Zach looked at James shaking his bright red palms with some teasing, "Are you clear now? The reason why your director asked me about my 'medical experience', Probably just for this guy.”
"who?"
"Ike J." Zach repeated kindly. Now he was good-hearted, but soon he was going to be bad-hearted, making Louise unhappy. Zach still remembered that he would not let James go so easily. Well, that's not the real reason. You can't be so petty when dealing with James, he'll be pissed to death. What Zach needs more is to think carefully about what Colon said just now.
This Ike Jay had obviously been on the battlefield before, and Zach had saved him, and now this man hoped that Zach could save him again. The problem arises here. People who have been saved by Zach should not remember Zach's existence.
"Colonel Ike?"
Zach raised his eyebrows and looked at James, "Do you know this person?"
"He is my father's political enemy. He impeached my father several times in the west. He made me feel sorry for me several times when I was in the army. I don't like this guy..." After answering almost instinctively, James suddenly shut up. . Look at Zach.
what's the situation
This is the situation that James should re-evaluate when he looks at all the people he once knew after knowing that his father, the famous General Lance, was a puppet of the Sabbat, and that his life was surrounded by aliens under the Sabbat.
Zach raised his eyebrows again, "What else do you know? About this, Colonel, Ike."
"He is going to die." James looked at Zach, his whole face stiffened indescribably. "He is already 'dead'. A secret operation failed and he was seriously injured. The confidentiality agreement made him lose any rights, and he himself can no longer Those who had no mobility were kept in the hospital by the military, waiting to die."
Zach pursed his lips slightly, "Then, do you think I should go here?" Zach pointed at James' unconsciously clenched fist, which contained the address written by Cologne.
"Go!"
Zach nodded.
The reason for James's decisive answer is probably different. Zach wants to find out why his charming pupil failed on the battlefield. (.)
