It came suddenly and left suddenly. The words had been spoken, and Kyle's goal was achieved. He picked up Laura, who was still dazed, and looked at the driver, and got into the car without saying goodbye. The two siblings are going home.
But the sound of the engine of the young lady from the West District's car was completely suppressed - the roaring noise and the sound of heavy objects pressing on the gravel road were getting closer and closer. After a siren signal, a container truck turned into the intersection in the backyard, forcing the car of the West Ender who had just turned around to face the exit of Grande's backyard to pull over to avoid it.
Zach took a look at the logo on the truck. It was a city government delivery truck, and he knew it was the game console he had taken a picture of for Fitz.
There was no movement in Benjamin's warehouse. It seemed that Alpha was too lazy to come down to take delivery. Zach could only temporarily apologize to the priest and Laura, and stood on the back porch to guide the truck to stop.
The car door at half a person's height opened, and a middle-aged man jumped up, holding the cargo list, and directly saw Zach, who looked most like the owner. Without any nonsense, he confirmed that the cargo box was also opened, and the workers started to move things out. Zach raised his chin and said, "Sign it, Benjamin Grande, right?"
Of course, Zach didn't bother to explain. He glanced at a few young workers carrying cabinet-sized game consoles into the yard, curled his lips, and directly took the pen, 'Benjamin Grande,' and glanced at the direction of the warehouse to indicate, " Put it in the warehouse, be careful, thank you."
Fitz asked Benjamin to take pictures of four of them. It was said that they were very rare models in some game series. Zach couldn't understand it at all. Anyway, they were just helping to store them. Zach didn't even bother to check them. A reminder was enough. .
"Vinson?"
The exit to the backyard was cleared. The West Ender's car just moved forward and then stopped again. The window was lowered and Kyle stretched out his head. Staring at a worker wearing work clothes carrying a game console.
"Kyle?"
Zach handed back the signed receipt and looked over there with some curiosity. A young man of the same age as Kyle was working with his companions to carry a game console painted with colorful patterns. He looked sideways at Kyle and asked, "Are you back?"
"Vinson?" Laura also poked her head out,
"Laura?" The young man named Vincent actually knew each other, "Why are you here?" His tone suddenly became unnatural.
Zach wasn't the only one who noticed over there. There was also a middle-aged man who had confirmed the delivery signature and was about to return to the car. He knocked impatiently on the car door, and the clanging sound reminded the workers not to stop.
"Uh... I'm sorry, they are my classmates, Leipte's classmates." Vincent explained nervously to the urging middle-aged man.
"Classmate?" The middle-aged man looked at the car of the young master and the young lady of the West District, and said in a cold tone, "You are no longer a student. Work." After saying that, he got on the car as if he didn't want to pay attention to it, and looked at the workers' actions with cold eyes. . Putting one hand on the car window and tapping on the car door with his fingers, he continued to 'remind'.
The workers, including Vincent, could only continue to carry the game console to the warehouse designated by Zack. However, Kyle actually got out of the car and ran two steps to catch up with Vincent. Regardless of the eyes of the workers next to him, he squeezed in next to Vincent and offered a hand to join the movers—
"Vinson? What are you doing?!" Kyle was sandwiched among the workers. I don’t know if he really tried his best to help, but that’s obviously not the point. The point is that Kyle stared at the other person with disbelief.
Vincent looked at Kyle who was staring at him with a strange look on his face, "What do you think I'm doing? I'm working."
Zach tilted his head. He was not "satisfied" with his pride as the owner of Grande. In the conversation that took place in his backyard, no one introduced him to the identity of the interlocutor. So my vampire walked silently towards Laura, who was still sticking her head in the car to look at her brother and the workers, and wiggled her finger to attract the girl's attention. Asked softly, "Who is Vincent?"
"I can see you're working!" Kyle's voice was louder and easier to attract attention. "Why are you working?!"
Vincent looked at Kyle again, with a hint of irritation in his strange eyes. What did the young master of the Barton family in the West District ask? Why are you working? ? Vincent looked away without answering and focused on looking at the road.
This bit of silence gave us the opportunity to look at Zach and Laura.
"Uh..." Laura came back to her senses and glanced at Zach, "Kyle's classmate has graduated now."
"I know that." Zach curled his lips, "Can you be more specific?"
"Uh... you don't know..." Laura seemed a little upset, and quickly responded to Zach's question, but then paused, "She's on the football team with Kyle."
Zach raised his eyebrows, squinted his eyes, looked at Vincent carefully, and made sure, "I remembered, was it the one you kept complaining about next to Alice in that game we met - pushing Kyle away?" To the guy in right field?”
"Yes, but..." Laura obviously thought of something unhappy, "It wasn't Vincent who squeezed him, it was Connor, and Connor (Herman's son, the guy possessed by Ryan) is the captain, He changed it." (ii, 1. Connor deliberately made things difficult for Kyle and moved Kyle to the right outfield, which was the least valued, on the grounds that Vincent's family needed a scholarship more.)
As if in response to Alice's words, Ryan floated over. Zach was ready to ignore him as he was non-existent, but Ryan spoke, it was quite important, just listen - "I remember him, Vincent, Seth." Later, he was spotted by a certain university and received a scholarship.”
Kyle’s loud reminder to focus on the past.
"Why didn't you go to college?!" Kyle, who didn't get an answer from Vincent, began to ask, naturally ignoring the looks of the workers around him, "You got a scholarship! Why are you here?!" Does 'here' refer to Barton? Yes, Patton only has one community college. Does 'here' also refer to the porter's job? yes.
After putting down the game consoles in the warehouse, the workers turned back and moved the remaining two. Vincent frowned and kept moving forward, seemingly ignoring Kyle who was pulling and shaking him beside him.
"Hey! Hey!!" Kyle seemed angry and forcefully pushed Vincent's body. His eyes were glaring, his shoulders were linked to his arms, and his muscles were flexing. "I'm asking you a question!" Kyle was emotional. As for management issues, there is no need to repeat this point. Recall how Connor died.
As for Vincent, he didn't seem to be doing well either. He pushed Kyle away with his hands, and his muscles under his work clothes were equally tight. It's really not surprising, these two guys are on the football team, and confrontation is the basic rule.
"Don't touch me!" Vincent stared back. He tugged on his work clothes, twitched the corners of his eyes, and continued to follow the footsteps of his fellow workers.
"You'd better explain it to me!" Kyle continued to hold Vincent by force.
"None of your business!" Vincent continued to get rid of Kyle.
"It's my business!" Kyle didn't have to pull anymore and rushed in front of Vincent, getting stuck between the worker and the cargo box. The worker who was ready to deliver the game console in the cargo box frowned and could only pause his thoughts. Work, "You know damn well, that's my scholarship! You're playing for my position!..."
etc.
so. This wasn't an out-of-bounds concern for the situation of his classmates, it was... anger.
Kyle continued, "What are you doing now?! What are you doing here after taking my things?! What the hell kind of job?! Hard work!? What a fucking waste..."
Too suddenly, Kyle was punched in the nose, followed by a second punch, then a third punch, and a fourth... Well, the workers waited until the fifth punch came out before pretending to pull Vincent away.
Zach held down Laura who was about to open the car door and rush out. But he touched his chin and tilted his head with a look on his face. Seeing Ben tapping his fingers in the car, the middle-aged man opened the door again, jumped out of the car, and walked this way.
"What's going on!" The middle-aged man slapped the cargo box, "Can you work hard!" He glanced at Kyle who was covering his nose and being held away, curled his lips, and looked back at the workers pushing and pushing people to let him go. Vincent. "What are you doing! Isn't he your classmate? Are you doing something? Don't you want a job?!"
After saying this, I don’t know whether it was a taunt or a word of comfort. The middle-aged man did not say anything to show off, but pointed at the workers, "Hurry up and finish the move! Vincent went to the car in front and stayed in the car. Don't count on today's salary." He actually didn't care about Kyle being beaten at all. He took Vincent and returned the same way.
Zach watched a few workers move out the remaining two game consoles and passed Kyle with the same cold expression. He didn't know what to think and opened the door. When Laura finally rushed out of the car as she wished, he smiled softly. He said, "Look at your brother. You don't want your grandmother's last trust to be handed over to me again. Let your brother calm down and pay attention to his emotions." Then stand far away.
Laura glared at Zach, rushed to Kyle, whose face was covered with nosebleeds and made it impossible to pay attention to his expression, and pulled her back into the car, "xx (driver), go home!"
Zach watched Laura's car leave, shaking his head with a chuckle, and glanced at the blood trail left in the Grand backyard when Kyle was pulled into the car. Kyle was still somewhat sane and didn't dare to stay in a vampire's home while he was bleeding. Don't forget, he was 'tasted' by Zach once.
Zach walked back to the back corridor and looked at Vincent and the middle-aged man in the truck from a distance. Until they left, he didn't consciously apologize for hurting Grande's guest. As mentioned above, there was no scene or even polite words. No greeting. Zach wrote down the license plate number while the priest pursed his lips and shook his head helplessly. What was he going to do... I'll mention it again if it happens -
"If the person involved doesn't care..." Father Constantine was obviously trying to persuade Zach to do more than do less.
Zack interrupted with a wave of his hand and glanced at Taylor, "Ms. Taylor should be very aware of Kyle's psychological problems." How to describe it, after all, Kyle is the person who committed the crime of manslaughter and tried to cover it up, and he was also discovering that' Connor' was someone who couldn't let go after coming back to life and pushed himself to a dead end. "He has a criminal record. It's always good for me to be prepared, not for Kyle, but for the other party."
"Hmph." Taylor actually didn't pay much attention to what happened from now on. He was still processing Kyle's warning to them. "If I were you, I would care more about the Saints' problems! These..." Taylor pointed to the string of blood stains Kyle left on the ground, "It's just an interlude. People from the two worlds will never meet in the future! You have to think about Saint Sissi in Repte, they are in contact at any time! Saint What kind of character is the apprentice, what kind of character is Kyle, you have to prepare for this!"
"No." Zach smiled and shook his head, then realized that he shouldn't laugh and gave Constantine an apologetic look, "This is what you have to prepare. Kyle knows the saint's family, Yehir and the church. As he just warned you, this will be a conflict between the Barton family and the church. Sorry, Father, I have no position to participate in it. Even if I am like a gang, I can't help."
Constantine nodded understandingly, with a look of helplessness on his face, as if he just sighed, "It would be great if the original rumor didn't come out. Now our relationship with the Barton family wouldn't be so embarrassing." Regarding the Barton family's use of the church Rumors that gilded their West End third-generation charity acting.
"It's no use thinking about this now!" Taylor said with a sullen face. She was the biggest victim of this rumor. Constantine told Zach that Taylor was running back and forth in the West End to cut ties with the Patton family and the church. As a result, everyone saw that when Kyle first came to Grande, she didn't want to show up.
Taylor twitched her lips irritably, "I'm going to the saints and have a good talk with the angels. No one can control the saints. I can only see if Camille can talk some sense..." As she said this, she stood up. , motioning to Constantine, who seemed to be leaving.
"Wait a minute." Zach looked speechless as Taylor walked towards Constantine's small car, "Are you leaving now? Why are you here? You haven't met Ike yet."
Taylor paused on the spot and looked back at Zach who reminded him irritably. He frowned and thought for a while, "It's gone. It's useless to see him."
Zach just raised his eyebrows to express his helplessness, but Taylor continued and continued, "Send me a message." He opened the car door and got into the driver's seat first.
Grande’s guests today, no matter how they left, they all left in such a hasty way that the host was helpless...
Returning to the only priest who remembered the host-guest etiquette, Zach listened to what Taylor was about to preach—
"They are not going to waste time in transporting back the colonel's body. He should know this very well. No one in the military in the west is looking forward to his return. They will deal with it on the spot in Patton."
'Get rid of it', this is disrespectful to the colonel himself.
"But the whole thing is related to the dignity of the military in the eyes of outsiders. They will hold them accountable." After the priest got into the car, Taylor started the car directly, and the sound was accompanied by the roar of the old engine. "It means that it initially hindered the military. The police department in Patton who supervised the incident, the chief who used his personal power, the hospital and the attending doctor who ultimately led to the death."
After driving through the back corridor, "I just came to inform you about the aftermath of his 'death'. Goodbye."
Zach watched the car drive away and pursed his lips. (.)
