After parking the car and entering the hospital, Zach and James found Director Colon sitting at the door.
But Colon seemed to be just here to confirm that Zach was coming. When James wanted to go up and explain why he was here, Colon looked directly at Zach, nodded, and left regardless of James.
"Sometimes I think you're so funny." Zach nodded back and looked at James who followed back with a sullen expression, "How are you going to explain to your director why you're here?"
'I really want to see the colonel who went against his father in the West. 'Is that so? Still, 'I will follow my informant's work, even if it is requested by you, the director! 'Or, 'He took my car. '
"Shut up." James walked around vigilantly like a bodyguard, looking past the mirrors at every corner and brushing aside every passerby on Zach's path.
"What are you doing?" Zach was slightly curious.
"Don't you hate hospitals?" James actually still remembered this.
"Indeed." Zach raised his eyebrows, "It used to be inconvenient to move, but now it doesn't matter." His eyes swept over the convex mirror on the corner ceiling (the hospital has a corner mirror set up at the corner to prevent patients from colliding with each other), "But I really hate it. It’s useless for you to do this.”
"What's the meaning."
Zach pointed to the left. There was a doctor pushing an ambulance and shouting "200 joules." "That person's blood is already poison." Pointing to the right, there were probably a hundred infusion tubes inserted into the lying patient. , okay, that's an exaggeration - "That person's blood is like strawberry juice with durian added." Pointing to the front...
"Stop talking!" James growled, "They are human beings! They are not your food!"
"I know." Zach waved his hand, "But still, I still feel, well, sad when I see and feel that the things flowing in their blood vessels have deteriorated and have inexplicable additives added to them. To be honest, James , wouldn’t you be sad when you know that the fruits in the orchard will be injected with pesticides? Even if you won’t buy this batch of fruits.”
The way a vampire thinks. It's really hard to keep up.
"They are sick and injured! The hospital is a place to treat them!" James glanced at Zach gloomily, "I'm sorry to make you sad! Besides, people are not fruits!" There was no apology at all in these gritted teeth.
"Sorry." Zach didn't mean to apologize. "It's just an analogy. You know what I mean. Oh, when it comes to injuries, James, you shouldn't expect me to feel the same way."
Zach tilted his head. "Maybe I have, but to be honest, I've forgotten about it."
James didn't want to talk.
Fortunately, the two people with clear goals did not need to stay in such an atmosphere for long. Standing in front of the guarded door, we arrived.
Zach looked at the police officer standing guard and said, "Cologne asked me to come." He handed over Cologne's note.
The other party didn't look, but smiled at James and said, "Detective." He opened the door.
Zach walked in, but James behind him was stopped. "Detective Lance, do you want to go in too?"
Zach turned around and took a look. Seeing James giving him a look, he entered the room regardless and turned his attention to the guy on the hospital bed.
The door behind Zach was temporarily closed, and James didn't come in first. He wanted to take care of the colleague guarding the door first. You can understand it if you think about it this way - the other party asked James if he also wanted to enter, and those who entered on behalf of him would be reported to Director Cologne. Just like Zach said earlier that James was funny, James couldn't explain why he wanted to go in. As for how James would prepare it, it would probably be coffee.
"Ike Jie." The person on the hospital bed seemed to be sleeping soundly, unaware that someone had come in. Zach stood beside the bed surrounded by a pile of medical equipment. Pulling the corner of his mouth, he pulled off the other person's oxygen mask.
woke up.
Zach put the oxygen mask back on, looked at the other person's eyes under the wrinkled eyelids, and frowned, "Look for me." The reason for the frown was that in front of him was a bowl of eggplant, tomato, egg, and strawberry juice with durian added.
The hand with the infusion tube slowly moved to his chest.
Zach predicted the opponent's movement trajectory, and thoughtfully opened the opponent's oxygen mask again, waiting for an answer.
"Hehe, hehe... cough cough cough..."
The sound was seamless and made Zach purse his lips and put the oxygen mask back again, "You can blink once for yes and twice for no."
His dry wrinkled eyelids blinked once with a smile.
Zach nodded and looked around, looking for a chair in the prison room where visitors should not be allowed to enter. It was too embarrassing for Zach. never mind. Zach was not ready to sit down, "We have seen each other on the battlefield."
once.
"I saved you."
It seemed like he thought about it for a while, twice.
"I didn't save you." Zach curled his lips and said in a different way, "I didn't save you."
once.
Considering the limitations of Blink, Zack wasn't going to dwell on the issue.
"you remember me."
once.
Zach crossed his arms and looked at the guy in front of him, "Your body, everything is decaying, internal organs, muscles, bones, you are dying."
The head resting on the white soft pillow actually tilted once.
"You want me to save you."
once.
Zach tilted his head. In fact, our vampire did not expect this guy to be in such bad condition. Let's be honest, Zach has no plans to save the guy who inexplicably allowed Chief Barton to show up in Grande. After all, our vampire is not happy about his identity being taken to his home by the police chief to question him.
But just like that, Zach, who is not prepared to save, is not prepared to let the other party get worse. What it means is that Zach doesn't want the other person to talk. Putting more strain on already fragile lungs. There are many ways to get answers, such as waiting for the other party to hang up and then asking Mike.
Zach's silence seemed to make Ike a little uncomfortable.
The hand that had traveled halfway forward continued upward on the chest and touched the oxygen mask on the chin.
This time Zach didn't help. He watched the other person move the thing on his mouth little by little, "You... you tell me, cherish your own life..." The oxygen mask was moved back. This was in response to Zach asking that he wanted Zach to save him.
The door opened again. James turned around and closed the door. It seemed that he had already taken care of the police officers outside the door, and rushed straight to Zach's side, looking at the person on the bed, "Enter, Colonel." His face was dark.
The inside of the oxygen mask that had just been moved back to his mouth was filled with white mist. There seemed to be an incomprehensible expression on Ike's face. Can't understand Lance's sons - James and Zach standing together.
Zach raised his eyebrows, glanced at James, who had a dark face, and looked back and forth between the instrument and Ike, and then looked at Ike.
"I said this to many soldiers." Zach turned away, "When they feel they need to protect me." Zach shrugged, "Because I can save people. They will think my life is more important. , I would rather sacrifice myself to save my life. This is stupid."
"What are you talking about!" James' eyes fell on Zach's face, as if he couldn't accept Zach's evaluation of soldiers, nor could he accept that the life of a vampire was more important...
"Leave him alone." Zach waved his hand. Looking back at Ike, "You want me to save you. Then, do you know what I am...?"
once.
Zach shook his head. Before he could fully express an expression between sadness and 'sure enough', James got there first.
"What does winking mean?! Is it positive?"
Zach curled his lips, took a step back, raised his arms, and made a gesture of giving up - "You do it." '
James actually consciously stood in Zach's position. He looked at Ike who seemed to be more confused.
Probably hesitated for a moment, once.
"Twice is a negative?" James asked.
once.
James took a deep breath. "You know something about my father! He was..." James glanced at Zach, his shoulders tense, "A puppet controlled by a vampire!"
Ike's eyes fell on Zach who retreated back. He looked at him for a long time, blinked once, and when he opened his eyes, his eyes had returned to James.
"Sabab!"
once.
This is a logical thing. It actually made James take a deep breath again. James is indeed very naive, and he still has to seek approval from others for things he knows well. "When I was in the army, you made things difficult for me because you thought I was too..." The tone was actually a little weak.
Ike's eyes stayed on James' face for maybe five seconds, once.
James pursed his lips. Taking another deep breath, "Is it my father who made you look like this now?"
Interference's eyelids trembled, but he did not blink. His cloudy pupils looked at James, as if considering whether he could respond to this question.
Five seconds later, Ike's eyes returned to Zach, who was still holding his arms and standing behind James.
It is very impolite to look at others when communicating with them. It will make the other person angry and blame innocent people -
James waved his fist inexplicably and turned to Zach, "Tell him! I am not a puppet of the Sabbat! I am not my father, I, I..."
Zach waved his hand, stood in front of the bed again, and said calmly, "James is with me. I don't know why you came to me. Do you believe me?" Zach himself shook his head, "Then Just believe in James."
The oxygen mask was slowly removed, "Cure me, I can say..."
The door opened again.
The doctor wearing glasses rushed in hurriedly, while still scolding the speechless police officer, "Why didn't you notify me when someone came! Everyone who comes in must get my consent! Can you understand..."
Zach and James looked at this man at the same time. Director Cologne's brother-in-law turned out to be this guy. If there is any overlap, do you still remember that the Bishop Manor needed two slightly delayed death certificates of the old Bishop couple? It was Zach who asked Mayor Anthony to use human society (Anthony asked Cologne and Cologne asked his brother-in-law) to get this It was prescribed by a competent doctor.
"Uh, Detective Lance." The guy greeted the person he knew and closed the door. "Does uncle (Colon) know you are coming?"
"Bureau..."
Zach pushed James away, "Are you the attending doctor?"
"I am, you are..."
"The colonel was transferred from the west to Barton. Why didn't a more senior doctor take over?"
"Uh... yes, it was transferred through military connections, but... wait, who are you, you..."
"Why is there no military person to look after him outside, only one policeman? Is it because of Chief Cologne? Chief Cologne insisted that his own people guard his colonel friend? And then he left it to you? Haha, do you think this is nepotism?"
"How do you know that Director Cologne and I..." This guy was confused. He forgot that he just said 'uncle', and his expression was shocked. "What nonsense are you talking about! The colonel came to Barton for end-of-life care on his own volition!" There is some danger, so after the rescue, we will monitor it in the intensive care unit, and we will have to go back after recovery... "
Zach looked back at Ike on the hospital bed, "So when you left the West and came to Barton, you were really waiting to die. You were a little clever and relied on your connections with the Cologne Police Department to get yourself here. To avoid the military's sight temporarily, in order to find me." Zach paused, "If you really die in the custodial room, for everyone, you are really dead."
A quick wink.
Zach curled his lips, the other party had already made a very thorough plan!
His eyes turned red instantly, "Doctor, the patient is dead, please announce the time."
"What are you doing?!" James rushed out and actually blocked Zach's view.
Zach curled his lips and looked at James who lowered his head and pointed his short, rough hair towards him, "What are you doing? Don't you understand? There is only this chance for the colonel to leave this hospital. Outside Cologne’s sphere of influence, there is no hope but death.”
James forgot the reason why he lowered his head, raised his head sharply, and met Zach's eyes.
Don't worry, it's light green. Zach curled his lips and said, "You asked me to come. Are you going to waste this opportunity?"
James gritted his teeth and didn't move.
"Are you sure?" Zach looked into James' eyes, "You don't really think I can save a person in this state without Cologne's knowledge. This is no longer the fault of your two ribs. The problem is, even if I can explain it to Cologne, how do you ask Cologne to explain it to the military. Have you thought clearly?"
What's the meaning
Ike has planned everything carefully! Zach just said that Ike appeared here to take advantage of the influence of Chief Barton Police. While temporarily avoiding the military's sight, he also asked Cologne to find Zach for him!
But when Ike died in the prison cell, he was 'really' dead. Zach's arrival 'makes no sense', and there will be no fact that Cologne and the military will definitely know in the future - Zach or someone from Patton can bring a dying man back to life!
Countless things seemed to flash in James's eyes, and he stepped aside.
"Be good." Light green was replaced by red again in an instant, "Doctor, the patient is dead, please announce it."
When the doctor numbly began to pull out various medical instruments, Zach cut his wrist, "James, give you a chance, xxx." Zach reported the serial number, "Tell Wales that he can make a demon The contractor has received his reward in advance.”
"What… "
"Hurry up." Zach put his wrist on Ike's mouth. "After the news gets out, the military will definitely come to pick up the body. No matter how great the impact of Cologne is this time, it can't be stopped." ( )
