Before leaving for the hospital, Benjamin returned. I said hello to Zach and James who were about to leave unhappily, and went back to the bathroom on the west side of the warehouse to take a shower.
"What's the result of the bidding?" Zach ignored James' urging and called Benjamin.
"We got it, but it was over Fitz's budget." This is what our Alpha is unhappy about.
Okay, let’s start from the beginning.
The original Grand cemetery in the West District was re-planned after it was returned to the city government. Wasn't it bought by Liszt? Construction was scheduled to begin after the fall, so there was a wave of tomb removal that made Grande famous for being the only traditional funeral industry. After this period passed, the place became idle and unattended. It became an "illegal youth activity center" and caused the tragic death of Master Bishop... I won't go too far.
After the old West End Grand was seized, the game consoles inside that were used to attract ignorant teenagers were sealed. Because the incidents caused by these things were too bad, no one in the West End wanted to touch them, so the things were left there.
Now that autumn has arrived, Liszt has begun to clean up his property. Are these things... burned? Waste is not good, and it is publicly sold at a low price.
Probably because they had previously bid for their Comic Exhibition bus from the reclaimed Paisin Bus Station, Fitz got a taste of it, so he also wanted to get involved here. But Fitz, who had to go to work, didn't have time, so he asked Benjamin for help.
Uh... Actually, it was 'Benjamin', the Wolf-Hearted Benjamin, that Fitz asked for help on Wednesday when 'Benjamin' went to help him recover the game props from James. But the next day, that is, early this morning, Wolfheart Benjamin disappeared, and Benjamin could only drag his body, which had been exhausted all night, to go alone.
Oh, by the way, Zach didn't accompany 'Benjamin' yesterday. Our vampire has no interest in following a beastly 'Benjamin' he hates around the Betsy District for a night. Another reason is that 'Benjamin' said this to Zach - "Are you going to follow me? Not bad, so I know that even if I do something, I don't have to worry about bringing anything to my body (identity). There will be trouble later, because you will clean up the mess for me, haha. Right?"
Zach would be crazy if he followed. Of course, Zach was not completely relieved. Before going to the southeast in the morning, he still asked Benjamin what 'Benjamin' did yesterday. Benjamin gave Zach a bunch of pink business cards.
"No, is there anyone else competing for those things? I thought the Western District, including the police, didn't want to take over those machines (game consoles)."
"From the North District." Benjamin waved his hand. "The youth activity center over in Ogier, well, they took most of the pictures anyway. I took pictures of a few that Fitz asked for, and a few people who didn't know where they came from. I divided the rest."
"Oh." Zach responded, finally responding to James' urging and starting the car. Just mention it casually. The two were riding in James' car, but Zach insisted that he come. The reason is that not driving is boring. The vampire might 'eat' some snacks to pass the time. James had no fight. "You should tell Fitz first. He should be looking forward to the result. Oh, well, we'll just cover the extra part."
Benjamin probably thought so too, but he didn't nod yet. James howled nervously in the passenger seat, "Why don't you give me a cushion! It's not like he doesn't have money! Why do you make him feel like he needs to thank you?! Is this the right time for him to express his gratitude to Benjamin!"
It's really not suitable. 'Benjamin' hopes that Fitz will have a better impression of him, but Zach and Benjamin don't.
but. James' words were just not liked.
"Then, just remember to say 'you're welcome' to Fitz." Zach raised his eyebrows, put the gear into gear, and before moving the car, he deliberately turned the rearview mirror to take a look at his face, looking at James's face just now. The open mouth turns into a constipated squelch, the head is turned away, and the seat belt is tugged hard.
Drive out of the backyard, drive through the dirt road in front of Grande, and turn onto Highway 27.
After such a little time, James seemed to be unable to bear it any longer and began to fiddle with the radio. Alternating between noise and fleeting voices—
"... Come and listen to this gentleman... Come with our best wishes... By the way, this lady just... Hahaha..." Well, is James really looking for a channel to listen to? He probably didn't listen to anything. Just changing the channel out of habit, "... A look at this time with the Republic Trade Act... Jupiter Ascending in Aries... "
"Transfer back." Zach raised his eyebrows and gave the order.
James glanced at Zach—
"... Please pay attention. Don't pay too much attention to the petty actions of some people in the workplace recently. The gains outweigh the losses. You should pay more attention to your own family... "
"Uh, last one." Zach shook his head.
James curled his lips -
"The thing is like this. Although we can be complacent about our post-war recovery in recent years, we cannot ignore that the war ten years ago caused a really huge economic loss to us..." Is it a current affairs and political commentary program? "We hope that this trade with other countries, especially the Republic, will bring us... "
Noise.
"... Then some Aries listeners will definitely ask, when should we focus on our career? Haha, don't be anxious, when Jupiter..."
Zach turned his face sideways and looked at James, "How old are you?"
"Look, the road." James replied, stopping on this channel.
Zach shook his head and looked back to the front, "You should know that Ozzie Cozier told me something. I know that the mission's visit to the Republic and the current trade agreement are all driven by the Sabbat. Barton will also be among them. You are part of this plan."
James started sideways, silently touching the volume button of the radio with one hand and turning it to maximum. I just don’t want to talk to him.
"Listen." Zach reached out and turned the volume back, "I know you don't want to talk about this..."
"Then don't!" Seriously, how old is James
"Then..." Zac's emotional intelligence was lowered by the importance of the person he was talking to, "I want it." Zac turned off the radio directly, "Don't forget that you are still a candidate for mayor. Whether it's for Anthony or myself, I have to figure out what role you will play in the Sabbat's plan."
It’s something I should have asked a long time ago, but I just never found the opportunity.
"Who wants to be mayor?" James tried to turn on the radio again. "You know I did that to attract the attention of the remnants of Fight Club! I need a platform to tell them that the person they want to take revenge on is me!" Pulling the hatred away from Jason. When you despise James, it's better to be fair and give him the credit, "The reporter just happened to be here to interview!"
Slapping James' hand away, "I didn't ask what I know. So answer my question." Zach would not take away the topic easily.
"It doesn't matter! I won't run for election. It's useless if the Sabbat has any plans for me." James said with a sullen face.
"Kozil told me that he would not expect you to make any achievements in this election." Zach continued, "Linda is very persistent in trying to hide your relationship with the Sabbat..."
"I have nothing to do with the Sabbat!"
"Then let me correct it, the relationship between Sabbat and 'Lance'." Zach glanced at James and estimated the limit of this guy's explosion, "Why."
James said nothing.
"Why do two governors who would support you try to privatize the funeral industry in Massachusetts (Barton's state). Force the funeral industry to cater to cremation." Isn't it? Privatization is equivalent to commercialization, traditional burial and Comparing the cost of cremation is just a matter of math.
As for the reason why Zach asked this, it was a bit naive. Zach learned the bad news from Anthony the night before—the government subsidy was gone. Early the next morning, Benjamin returned with a transformation carrying James (Volume i). Zach puts it all together. With this problem.
James glanced at Zach and immediately turned away.
Zach... keep going. "Is it reclaiming land?" What was Zach thinking? Who knows, the vampire's mind was probably completely distracted. Anyway, James didn't answer, so he could only play, "In addition to the cemetery in the Grand West District being taken over by Lister, the cemetery of the Ford Funeral Home in the North District was taken over by Liszt. The area was taken over by Quest. In addition to these two places being used for commercial purposes, the cemetery areas of other funeral homes were planned for civilian use. Anthony mentioned..." Zach raised his eyebrows inexplicably, "These lands must be given to Inhabited by living people. Are there many people in Barton?"
Taking advantage of Zach's daze, which was intoxicated with self-questioning, James successfully turned on the radio—
"... Some listeners will definitely question. Four years! Is it such a long time to pay attention to career development? Haha, of course, our constellation experts said that star orbits take time to move, and those planets in the sky are not in our hands. If we flick the marble, it will go to where it should be. When everything reaches the right position, it is the right time to do the right thing. Haha, if you don't believe it, you can turn the channel... "
Zach's eyes fell on the radio for some reason and he was distracted, "Is this host mocking the audience?"
James glanced at Zach with a strange expression and said nothing.
"Forget it." Zach shook his head, "Don't ask, as long as you hate the Sabbat, I can rest assured." The little finger on the steering wheel pointed at the radio, "You will never get to that 'right position', Right?" He actually turned his head and gave James a smile. This is an absolute travesty.
James' face darkened. Start turning the stage again—
"... Take a look at today's new... You are my little apple... Welcome to xx Music Box... "
"Go back!" Zach raised his eyebrows, his face was actually bright and sunny, "Turn back, yes, yes, that's it."
James had a dark face, but as long as Zach didn't continue to torture him, he was still very obedient.
"Do you remember this channel?" Zach's mood seemed to have improved completely. He looked at James with a smile, "You can talk now. I said I won't ask, so I won't ask."
"I don't remember." James looked sideways at the scenery outside the window, his face softened slightly but still impatiently replied.
"Oh." Zach's tone was deliberately sad, "This is the music channel we listened to in the car when we first met. Do you really not remember it?"
The face that had just softened turned dark again. Because Zach continued, "You were in the back seat wearing a tattered 'cozier', and Benjamin was driving, and you asked me if Benjamin and I were human, and you really don't remember?"
James opened his mouth probably to yell something, but Zach beat him to it and smiled, "It doesn't matter if you don't remember, that's not the point you need to remember. Haha, this channel has given me a lot about Eli Toredo information."
James shut up and stared at Zach's profile.
The voice on the radio continues. Do you still remember the original host of this show? It doesn't matter if you don't remember his name. At least you can remember that he was a very emotional man.
Now, the host is a woman.
Do you know why Zach is in a good mood
"The thing you should remember is... Let me think about it, cleaning up Lip's suicide scene, coming back from Mr. Green's house, Eli Toredo's new song was playing. And weren't we all unhappy with how the host described something? Way." Zach glanced at James and gave an 'I'm explaining to you' expression, "I remember I said at the time that I was going to write a letter of condemnation and ask the radio station to fire that extremely inappropriate wording. Appropriate host and apologizes to listeners who were hurt.”
James remembered. (xxiv, 10, Eli's band canceled the scheduled tour route and returned to the west, the city where the first concert was held. The host said that the casualties caused by the collapse in the last concert gave this concert fans vacated their seats.)
James really didn't know what expression to look at Zach, "You really wrote it."
"Of course." Zach tilted his head, "It seems that my choice of words was just right. He was fired and the name of the show was changed. I'm very satisfied." Zach raised his eyebrows, "Maybe I should Write a letter praising the radio station for doing the right thing."
James pursed his lips, probably just attacking for the sake of attacking, "What are you so happy about? How do you know if you have ruined someone's life by doing this?" Among the things he just remembered, James also thought of Yi The background score of Le Torrido's new song is the screams of people during the first concert. James, like Zach, is disgusted by the band and despises everyone who champions them.
"Heh." Zach glanced at James, "You must have made something wrong. The band that worships Sabbat Toledo has ruined his life." Zach raised his eyebrows slightly, "I hope he loses his job. This guy went to a concert by a band he admired so much." Then, out of sheer malice, Zach looked straight at the road ahead and said, "Maybe he will be lucky enough to be one of the material for the band's new song."
Zach's 'sincere' 'blessing' came true. (Extra: Hotel California)
James looked at Zach's side face and tugged at the corner of his mouth. Although the music program that had changed the host had a cheerful song coming out, the atmosphere in the car was really not right. James changed the channel again—
"... The police have identified the two people who were unconscious on the shore. Thomas, who lives in the South District... "
Zach and James raised their eyebrows at the same time.
Oh, seems tuned to Barton local news. Oh, the previous case of Wes not coming back for dinner even made the news.
oh! Saints Sissi and Thomas Gangello, are back. (.)
