There is no need to create a warm atmosphere just yet - one person has just 'confessed' to another person, saying 'we are in this together' across race and creed. Yes, no, because Bumi didn't allow it, he forcibly stretched his body from the back seat and inserted himself between the two people who were 'together', "Why?! I don't understand! Why do you do this for James?" !”
Zach's originally expressionless face wrinkled, but Zach is a good driver and would not take his eyes off the road ahead, "Bumi, do you care about this kind of thing? If I don't feel wrong, you Neither Dora nor James have a good impression of James."
"I… "
Zach interrupted directly and said, "No need to say anything, I don't expect you to understand." He actually looked sideways at Sam, was he explaining to the wizard? He judged for himself, "Barton at the beginning of the year was not so complicated at all. Grande was just a funeral home where Alphas and vampires lived. At that time, foreign races entered. In addition to the mayor, we need someone..."
Surprisingly, these words were picked up, "I know." Seth responded to Zach, and even pushed back Bumi who was getting in the way, "I did my homework, and before I came to Grande, I asked Sibella , Everything about Grande, otherwise I wouldn’t dare to stop you in Repute.”
Zach opened his mouth but said nothing.
Sam frowned, "You may not like my metaphor, but you made your own 'wolf pack' in Barton, and James is one of them."
Sam was right about, well, the first half, Zach didn't like the trope. 'James is a man who succumbs to the power of a vampire' sounds much more agreeable.
"When he is misled and is about to make a mistake, it is necessary for 'Alpha' to take action to put him on the right path." Sam is ready to stick to this metaphor, "Then naturally, I will be by your side."
"Uh, then I want to..." Bumi, forget it, ignore it.
Zach pouted, not in the mood to explain. I nodded too early, so it would be better for these two guys to disappear.
On Route 27, Zach took the wheel and used the radio to continue covering up the argument between the two in the car. Keeping your eyes straight on the road. Probably due to this state of spatial movement, things that Zack didn't want to think about now appeared in his mind. He was evaluating, evaluating what he just said - how bad the situation must be, he would deceive James, and Georgina would be killed by him.
There is no doubt that it would be one of the worst-case scenarios for James to abandon everything in Barton and go to the central part of the country to assist in the investigation. Also, James must dare to put pressure on Darcy and take over the case...
Zach hit the brakes because a certain car that had recently driven away from Grande was crossing the road. Kate looked gloomy and gave a thumbs up on the side of the road. Don't get me wrong, it was an action to stop the car.
Zach twisted his lips, but still jumped out of the car, looking at Kate whose face was almost black, "Do you need help, Ms. Reporter?"
"No!" Kate said simply, continuing to block the car on the roadside.
Zach glanced at the two people in his car, but they were no longer there. Reason - Sam himself said that he was born among wolves and grew up among wolves. He does not have the legal status of human civilization. Forget it in front of others. It is better not to appear in front of this reporter who has a personal hatred for Grande. good. As for Bumi, he just habitually doesn't want to appear in front of irrelevant people, which is Novel's habit.
Zach walked directly to Kate's car, looked at the car hood with a trace of white mist coming out, "Open it."
"I said you don't have to worry about it!"
Zach walked directly to the driver's seat. Haha, as expected, the key was still inserted under the steering wheel. Don't imitate this.
"I said you don't need to..." The reporter posing on the roadside rushed over.
Zach couldn't be bothered and took the key and opened the hood of the car. "Save it, this is the South District and it's Sunday. No one will be bored on Route 27." Zach looked at it. There were houses on both sides of the road around, but judging from how dark Kate's face was before she showed up, it was obvious that she had already tried.
Kate stopped talking and stared at Zach.
Zach checked the state of Kate's car and frowned, "Whose car is this?" Do you think Grande's van is outdated enough? No, here's a more outdated one.
"My grandma's." It's not a curse.
Zach twisted his lips, closed the hood of the car, and threw the keys back to Kate, "Pack your things in the car and wait for the bus." Vampires are not omnipotent, and vampire blood can heal all injuries, but That's life. A car is not a life, it's an object.
Zach was getting ready to go back to his car.
"I don't have any money!" Kate said gloomily.
Zach curled his lips and asked no more questions about how someone could go out without money. There really are, such as the reporter who just paid a bunch of equipment money and paid bail. Can Zach ask? He could only touch a few coins and hand them to Kate, "Do you need me to tell you where the platform is?"
The answer was inappropriate, "Don't think I'm thanking you!!"
What else could Zach say, get in the car and put his seat belt back on. It's best not to. If this person is so easy to reverse, Zach will feel embarrassed. Really, everyone will encounter such a bad thing as breaking down on the roadside, and anyone will be willing to help if you just give them a few coins. Not Toredo at all, not Zach at all, not distorting facts and subverting perceptions at all. Well, everyone understands.
The key in hand has been turned and the engine has started to work -
"You know I didn't even finish the questions I asked before!" Kate stared at Zach outside the car door.
Zach let go of the car keys and looked sideways at Kate, "You want to continue asking? Now?"
"Do you know what happened to Ford?!" Of course, Kate would not answer any of Zach's questions properly. She was persistent and believed that she was the one asking the questions regardless of the occasion. She was really very journalistic.
Out of a certain childish mentality, Zach wanted the two people in his car to continue to be so quiet. Yes, he was talking about the twisted wizard Sam who was huddled under the seat, and although he couldn't see it, he could feel it. Nofilebumi's breath curved along the car window.
"What happened to Ford?" Zach looked at Kate and asked.
"Hmph! You don't know again! I think your name is 'Don't Know Grande', which is more appropriate!" Kate looked at Zach mockingly, feeling a little proud, "But this is okay, I know, I can tell you. "
"Then, tell me." Zach didn't mind Kate's explanation. Quiet is rare.
"Ford is in the hospital!" Kate didn't look concerned, she just mocked, "I passed out at Ford Funeral Home in the middle of the night because of overwork last night, and I was sent to the hospital by my own employees!"
Zach raised his eyebrows, his conscience testifying that there was no false surprise on his face, and then concern, "Why did he..."
"Hmph! Today I have seen a lot in Grande! One of my colleagues was so busy that he fainted and was sent to the hospital due to overwork. You Grande, humph..." Needless to say, this point of meaning is relatively easy to understand.
"That's not fair. Today is Sunday." Zach frowned. This excuse was necessary. The owner of the Ford Funeral Home was overworked and was in the hospital. It was news. If this reporter wanted to write a report, no need to think about it. He would definitely do it. Give Grande a knife, "In the traditional funeral industry, today is a day off. If you want to compare Grande and Ford based on their working status, please go to the mill..."
"But Grande is the only traditional funeral business in Barton..." Of course, Kate will interrupt and point out the topic, "Isn't it." The owner of the cremation and funeral industry is overworked and hospitalized, and the owners of the traditional funeral industry are enjoying their holidays, adding After some rough editing, it can be used as the title of the report. good, very good.
Zach curled his lips, "Which hospital?" If Kate wants to write it, just write it, Zach is too lazy to worry about it.
"Ha! It sounds like you really care!" Kate continued to taunt,
"I do care." Zach looked at Kate, watching, with his light green eyes, "You know Grande's first funeral in Private, Mr. Quinn's funeral, the angel statue on the cemetery , Grande, which was almost abandoned at that time, had no reserves. Was it a gift from Ford?" This was a reenactment of the matchup in the office, forcibly switching the roles of the questioner and the person being asked, "You know, what you were asking about in Grande today? Did Ford suggest that I build a new building for the future development of Grande? Did you know that the traditional ceremony and cremation combination that Grande recently started, for the first time, was a business transferred to Grande by Ford? ?”
The sarcasm on Kate's face began to fade, and she began to realize that she had chosen the wrong comparison object. The Grand master in front of her had a personal relationship with Ford.
"Miss Reporter. Now I want to give you some pertinent advice." Zach's face was very serious. "Do more homework, and then you really 'hate me'. Now, you are just taking a bunch of small things and treating them as the absolutes of life." of teenagers.”
"Provoking me doesn't do you any good..."
"Provocative?" Zach shook his head and looked away, "I'm too embarrassed to hide it, you're not worthy. Let me ask one more thing, have you ever interviewed the Allen Funeral Home? Do you know the owner of Allen , applied for a restraining order against me, and I cannot come within 100 meters of him." What is the significance of Zach's self-destruction -
The meaning is that Kate's eyebrows are raised as if she has discovered a treasure.
But she also received a disdainful shake of the head from Zach, "I knew it. He 'hated' me just yesterday, so what do you know?" Zach looked at Kate again, smiling, "I'll tell you. Let's get some facts, Ms. Reporter, you are not the first person to question the Grande people. Surprise? You have a comrade, hum, no, if you don't come to me in such a hurry, just take a walk around the South District and at least investigate. If you look at the environment where Grande is located, you will know that any ordinary person in the South District has questioned Grande, starting from the time when the mill appeared."
Kate's eyebrows began to drop, she was already feeling Zach's sarcasm.
"How smart do you think you are, trying to accuse Grande of having a secret deal with the city government in every question? Sorry, Miss Reporter, you are too impatient. How about starting simple, like a normal South Side People should first question the Southern District Police Department. Yes, I am giving you information in turn. People in the Southern District thought that Grande had something to do with the police department, so they signed an agreement with Allen and the Southern District Police Department. The cooperative agreement led to the mill.”
The corners of Kate's eyes were twitching. On the one hand, she wanted to write this down quickly. On the other hand, it was Zach himself who told him this in a mocking tone.
"Oh, by the way, when you finally think of interviewing Grande's competitor, Allen, don't ask them about the progress of the city government's review of 'unfair competition in the funeral industry.'" Zach continued, While Kate's face became more and more distorted, she said, "Ah, yes, you are too late. The city government is reviewing the funeral industry. All the questions you asked me have already been asked, not by you, but by Allen, Allen's lawyer. And they are doing better. At least, they dare to ask the city government, what about you?" Zach glanced at the roadside outside the car window, "Here."
There was a moment of complete silence.
"Me!" Kate raised a finger and pointed it hard in front of her body, "I want! Bury! Bury!" She said word by word, "You! You!!"
Zach pressed the car key again, "Looking forward to it, now your car is here." The bus came, and since the reporter who made such bold statements was still some distance away from the station, our vampire kindly reminded, "You should start running." The good man persisted and pointed in the direction.
Zach's car started to move, ignoring the kicking sound from behind the car's butt, and continued the interrupted journey.
The crouched body under the passenger seat was finally able to get up. Sam twisted his body and sat up to stretch. Bumi in the back was a little better and just put his shadow back where it should be.
Surprisingly, the two of them stopped arguing.
After all, there was someone who couldn't help but speak. It was Sam. It was understandable. He had expressed that he didn't understand Zach's intentions. However, Bumi, who didn't care as long as Zach felt it was right, would not speak. He continued to use his somewhat uncomfortable response later. Just look at Zach for the appreciative look on his face.
"Why would that reporter have so much hostility toward Grande, no, you personally? I don't see the point of that."
Zach glanced at Sam, "You don't understand?" He shook his head. This guy may not be as smart as Zach expected. "She is a reporter after all. Either I tell her this, or she discovers this by herself. She has started to ask That’s the right question, it’s already a fact that he wants to target Grande, the only difference is whether her target should be on Grande as a whole, or on me.”
Sam frowned, "Wouldn't it be better to target you personally? Well, you are the master of Grande."
"I'm Toledo too." Zach tilted his head, "It would be better for her to target other people in Grande."
Let’s get some facts. Grande's composition, physical composition, is without any whitewash - Old Hank is a professional cleaner who buried many people when he was young; Danny, the fantasy man, assumes the identity of Barton (John); Mo is a stowaway Come on, the identity is still being made; the Great Dane is a guy who occasionally appears in the form of James; Alice is still a high school student with a bit of a girly look; Louise's previous occupation; Matthew is too honest; Benjamin, uh, put in quotation marks, 'Benjamin', you know.
If you want Grande to be destroyed, just find one of them and dig it out. Do you need to go to the city government
Zach said it, and Kate was impatient, but fine—just let Kate pursue what Zach told her, yes, and miss out on the countless treasures contained within the Grande, which would be the best. Then, let Kate target the most difficult guy in Grande—Zach.
Doesn’t it make sense? Zach took care of all aspects. Sam, like Bumi, just appreciate it. (.)
