12 My friend
"I'm sorry!" Wes jumped out of the car, looked at the languishing-looking man sitting on the front porch of his house, and shouted a little embarrassedly, "I'm late!"
"No, it won't. △¢,.” The vampire shook his hands weakly, and when he didn't need to move, Zach looked like he was giving up on himself, he was adjusting to the rhythm of life that would reappear if he dieted in the future, "The sun is just right, I'm very comfortable." ”
"Wes!" the wolf cub Matthew ran out of the backyard, his face full of joy, and he turned back to Alpha and introduced, "This is Wes!"
Benjamin pursed his lips, or else?
Wes was also happy to see Matthew, who was his former playmate. He nodded, the last time he saw Matthew Matthew was a freshman in high school, puberty had passed, and Matthew had changed a lot, "Matthew! You have changed a lot!" The two smiled and hugged each other, Wes looked at Matthew, who was about the same strength as himself, and felt that this guy should enlist in the army. "Mel sues me that you work in Grande. ”
"yes. Matthew didn't realize that it was Wes reminding him to make an introduction. Wes couldn't tell who of the two Grandes was, and the people of the Southern Side used to call these two guys the sons of Grande who fell from the sky, which was not a compliment.
"Zachary, just call me Zach. That's Benjamin, and he doesn't like to be called Ben. Zach tightened his bottle, was much better, and smiled and made an introduction.
The vampire and Alpha's eyes quickly fell on the van behind Wes, "Is this the one?" Zach smiled and glanced at Benjamin, "It's a lot better than we thought, it's almost brand new." ”
Wesgan laughed twice, "It's only been open for about half a year, and then it's been idle, and it's been in the warehouse for seventeen or eighteen years." ”
Wes took the keys and he went straight to him. handed it to Zack, who vaguely remembered that Zach was his brother. Zach waved his hand, pointed at Benjamin, and had already walked to the side of the car, touched the wagon, and winked at Wes. "Very clean. ”
"Huh. Wes laughed dryly, not knowing what was going on in his mind.
Benjamin took the key, opened the door very familiarly, and beckoned to Matthew, it was time to test the car.
"I'm in the mirror. Zach was in the passenger seat, looking at Wes in the rearview mirror with red eyes, who had just shown a hint of doubt, and said with a smile, buckle up his seatbelt.
Wes shook his head, and he suddenly forgot what he wanted to say. Blinked, "Oh! Mel said you actually wanted the radio, and that's good." ”
"It's not just the radio. Zach turned his head and smiled, his eyes already turning to their normal light green, "We want a whole car." ”
Benjamin turned the key, and the engine of the Grande car sounded like a girl's gasp compared to the unrestrained one in the Grande. Benjamin tilted his head, "Not bad." "The palm of my hand has turned on the radio. Tuned to the channel he remembered, and was ready to slap.
"Arthur's Music Box welcomes you to listen to ......"
Benjamin tilted his head again. Smiling at Weiss, "Very good." ”
The wagons began to circle around Wes's house.
"Not bad. Benjamin accelerated.
"Not bad. "Benjamin drifts.
"Not bad. Benjamin pulled the steering wheel down with one hand.
......
On the dirt and gravel roads around the farmhouses in the southern district, which are not very smooth and clean, dust kicks up, and the windows and rearview mirrors are quickly covered. Wes staggered across his seat belt in the back seat and looked at Matthew with an inquiring gaze. But the honest Matthew was happy and just echoed his boss.
The car was back parked in the front yard, and Wes looked around in the back seat. He felt that he had spent an afternoon washing his car in vain.
"We loved it. Zach tilted his head sideways and smiled at Wes, "Matthew, check out." ”
Matthew panicked and took a check out of his ass pocket and handed it to Wes.
Wes was stunned, how could it be sold? He took the check. He blinked and immediately returned it to Matthew, "No, it's too much! It's just an old used car! It's still a truck!"
It's not an old-fashioned car, and it doesn't even make sense to collect!
"You should look at our old car. Zach chuckled sideways, "This is a new car in comparison." Zach's check said more than 20,000 dollars, which was enough for Wes to buy a truck that was commonly used today (with no roof in the back). But Weiss was thinking about more than 2,000 yuan, enough for him to buy a second-hand motorcycle, after all, this old truck in his mouth was neither practical nor old in his eyes.
"It's too much. Wes frowned and looked at Matthew, he thought that it was the double favor of Mel and Matthew, the two Grande brothers who had nothing to do with him, that would come up with such a price, "This car is really not worth the price." ”
Matthew took the rejected check and looked at the two bosses in the front seat for help.
"You explain it yourself. Alpha pouted and gave the order. Matthew's weakness is too obvious, this guy is too honest, it seems that Alpha is going to train him.
"Ugh. Matthew opened his mouth, uh for a long time, looked at Wes, and squeezed out a sentence, "Grande actually doesn't have a shortage of cars." ”
Wes's face wrinkled even more.
"No!" Matthew anxiously waved his hand to explain, "The car has! But there is no suitable one!" Matthew grabbed his hair, his pale gold hair was messed up, "We are a funeral home, we need a closed car like this!"
was really squeezed out of the past reasons that he still said. Of course, we know that it is not the funeral industry that needs to be strong and closed, but purely the personal preferences of vampires and werewolves.
Zach tilted his head and smiled, he didn't want Wes to be misled into thinking that Grande was using a van as a hearse.
"The need is one thing, but it's more just a habit for us. Mel must have said that we have been driving the old car, it may be nothing to others, but it is priceless to us, and the things left by old Grande are old and broken, and they are no longer useful. Zach smiled, but looked serious, "I guess you can understand that." ”
Seeing Zach say this seriously, Wes pursed his lips.
Wes couldn't understand that what he remembered was that two of Grande's brothers had come to Barton from out of town to look for their father and find Old Grande. And his situation is completely opposite, he is in Barton, it is his parents who have left Barton, and he has never thought to look for it.
When the incomprehension and sadness of his parents' departure was still there, he was too young to die on the battlefield. By the time he was admitted to the Quinn Orphanage, he was used to being a child without his parents. No one can be blamed for this, but the resilience of a strong five-year-old human.
Wes took the check, and he needed to go and show his understanding.
Zach smiled, and of course, our vampire saw Wes's exact opposite state of mind. But this is nothing more than a reality constructed of lies, the suppression of an unspeakable reality, and Zach has achieved his goal, and he does not want to treat the orphans created by the war.
Come to think of it, Zach is also an orphan, Toredo's orphan. Tragically, Toredo was still on the losing side.
"Thank you. Wes looked at the check in his hand, and decided that he would just get a second-hand motorcycle and donate the rest to the orphanage like the rest of his money. After returning to Patton, I only went to the police station once to report, and then I was packing up the house, and I didn't have time to go back to see it, so I could send it over together.
Benjamin glanced at Zach with dissatisfaction, and Zach escaped for Matthew. Zach raised an eyebrow and looked back, meaningfully, 'You didn't teach anything, what kind of workout did you let that honest guy do?'
Benjamin pursed his lips and honked his horn, bright and sharp, "Not bad." ”
The deal was over, Matthew breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and pushed open the door and got out of the car, "I'm showing Benjamin the trees we planted before!"
Wes smiled, but was still a little surprised that Matthew called his boss by his name, and this guy used to be rigid and even discussed his teacher privately with a title and surname. It seems that Matthew, who resembles his younger brother, is doing well in the Grande House.
"I saw it, a few years long and so thick. Wes responded with a smile, when he came back, he was still shocked, how did he know that a bunch of things that the little guys joked about in the past can still survive until now, his inherited old house, it seems that someone will still take care of it from time to time, but I don't know who it is.
Zach and Benjamin also got out of the car and were politely invited to the empty house. The two were giving Matthew time to catch up, and the wolf cub was thrilled to learn that Wes was back. It's one thing to have a vampire sticking to Barton, it's another to enjoy life.
It didn't take long, though, for the Wess family to seem to have guests. There was a knock on the door that echoed in the empty room, and Wes opened the door a little embarrassed.
"Chief Pelce?" Wes looked at the South District Police Chief at the door, a little confused.
"Rookie!" The director was not so polite, and his subordinates stepped into Weis's house with Wen Jiàn in his hand, he looked left and right, "You live in this place of the hell, why didn't you ...... anything?"
Director Pelce was halfway stuck, for as he had just turned the corner when he saw the three Grandes sitting at a small wooden table in the empty living room.
"Chief Pelce!" Zach stood up with a smile, walked over to the Southern District Police Chief, who had only met him a few times, stretched out his right hand, and then looked at Wes with a smile, "You're a cop?"
Pelce frowned, and shook Zach with an unnatural expression. Uh, looking around the room, "Just the three of you?"
Zach sensed something was wrong and nodded.
"Rookie!" said in a somewhat unpleasant tone, "Who else knows you're a police officer?"
Wes frowned, "Just them." And they didn't know it, before you called me 'rookie'. ”
Pelce glared, he didn't like the rookie's tone very much, "I said Patton! Who else knows?!"
Weiss looked at the middle-aged director, "Two friends. ”
"Name!"
"Urrent Mayer (old Mel's full name), James Lance. They are my friends. ”
Zach didn't even pay close attention to Pelce shouting in an unhappy tone, 'Old Mel at the grocery store?!he'll tell everybody!hell......
All Zuch heard was 'James Lance, my friend'. (To be continued......)
