Chapter 21: James and Georgina
After sitting back down, Zach naturally took out his square bottle, the cap just unscrewed.
"We don't allow alcoholic beverages here. The girl frowned.
Zach was stunned for a moment, and looked at the waiter's badge for the first time, "Georgina, I'm an alcohol addict, I need alcohol." ”
Zach said it with a smile, as if he was saying something serious.
"Hey, Georgina, what's the matter with you?"
Georgina had spent too much time with Mike and Zach and had already caught the attention of the other clerks. The waiter behind the counter crossed the counter and walked this way, asking loudly.
Georgina pursed her lips, Zack's smile made her unable to say anything to respond for a while, her fingers holding the order tightened, and finally turned her head and waved the order in her hand, "It's nothing, it's just a little too much." ”
"Oh. The waitress nodded, his eyes surveyed the two seated guests, and he didn't see anything out of the ordinary. It was just that the metal bottle, which was clearly a wine bottle, showed that the smiling gentleman was clearly not interested in the drinks in the store.
"Don't forget to recommend our special brownie today. The waiter gave one last reminder and returned to the counter.
Georgina's smooth forehead furrowed as Mike was already asking what Brownie was.
"If there's wine in it, I'd be happy to order one. Zach said with a smile.
Georgina was obviously not very good, did not answer Mike's question, added the special of the day after ordering, and quickly left the table.
Time Wizard is a café, so you don't have to worry about ordering too many things, because there aren't many of them, after all, these foods are just snacks to accompany drinks. But when the table is full of Fluttershy, Zach is still a little helpless.
Georgina fiddled around for a long time to find an empty seat and leave the bill. Obviously not wanting to communicate with the guests, she finished her work, and without even asking the basic 'do you need anything?', she quickly left and hid back at the counter. But occasionally, Zach could still see the head that was poking this way. The vampire was only pretending, elegantly cutting off a brownie with a small fork and stuffing it into his mouth. After all, it's just a café, and it's a red wine.
James didn't keep them waiting long, and the young detective pushed open the door of the café, and instead of searching for Zack, he looked at Georgina at first.
"Hi. James actually gave people a shy, suave feeling, "Are you busy today?"
"It's fine. Georgina was the same, her eyes staring at each other, and the corners of her mouth were already unconsciously curved, revealing her beautiful teeth.
After half a minute of anxious looking at each other, the girl remembered something else. Her face was a little weird, "Your, well, friend." Over there. ”
James seemed to have a good time pulling his gaze in the direction Georgina was pointing, and then his face took a very unnatural turn to displeasure.
"They're not your friends, are they?" Georgina, of course, noticed the change in James' expression and lowered her voice.
James shook his head helplessly, if he didn't know how powerful a vampire's hearing was, maybe he would honestly admit that it wasn't. But now, he could only say against his will, "Well, sort of, it has something to do with work." ”
Georgina opened her eyes and nodded stunned. Informant, undercover, witness?...... The myriad of fantasies that run through the girl's mind are not something we can know. But it seems to explain why James was not happy to see each other twice.
Georgina began to reflect on herself, whether her attitude was a little bad.
James frowned and walked to the table where Zach was, first glanced at the strange Mike suspiciously, and then looked at the full house of food and drinks, "What are you doing?"
"Sit down, James. Zach tilted his head and looked at James with a smirk, "If you can't finish this, you'll have to bring it back to Kim." I think you, like me, don't want to indulge in his gluttony. ”
James's face was completely broken, and the shadow of King's gluttony was still there, especially Mrs. Curson, who would prepare a pile of food whenever she saw him.
"Who is this?" James looked at the stranger sitting at the table, hesitating to know which way to sit down.
"Mike. Demon Priest Mike politely stood up and held out his hand, "It's a pleasure to meet you." ”
"Detective Lance. James frowned, who knew if this Mike was a surname or a first name, so he gave an official title and shook the other person's hand. I don't have any special feelings like low temperatures.
"You know each other now. Zach smiled, "Very well, Mike is Crowley's subordinate and a priest, and I am his guide to the world beyond the church......"
James didn't listen to Zach's later words, because in the 'Crowley's men', there was an inexplicable feeling of nausea on the palm of the hand that had just been shaken with the other party. Start with the right palm and work your way up to the forearm, upper arm, shoulder, and brain.
Zach closed his mouth and squinted at James' demeanor. He seems to underestimate James's dislike of Crowley, though, as for it?
Vampires can't understand the feeling of being raped by their souls, and there is no analogy in the life course of a vampire.
"Why is he here. James's voice was cold and deep.
Zach wondered if he should let James's dislike of Crowley go or help him overcome the psychological barrier that the vampire didn't fully understand.
Mike could feel the hostility emanating from James's body, and he asked a little nervously, "Detective Lance, what's wrong? Did I do anything offensive to you?If so, I'm sorry I'm not used to it......
"Shut up!"
James's sudden burst of voice attracted the attention of everyone in the café, and of course, the one who cared most about it was Georgina, who was already paying attention to this side. She looked worriedly, and while it was certain that it was the man with a lot of questions who made James angry, the way she swept Zack's eyes wasn't very friendly.
Zach frowned, it wasn't his intention to attract attention. He glanced at the waitress and Georgina who were walking this way, and Zach got up from his seat and patted James on the shoulder. The detective had realized that he had attracted unnecessary attention, and his thick eyebrows were squeezed tightly into the middle.
"James, let's go to your house, just the two of us. Can you let Georgina take care of Mike for a while?" Zach's thinking had not yet borne fruit, but whatever the outcome, it was not wise to let Mike remain in James's field of vision for now.
James glared at Zack.
The corners of Zack's mouth twitched, as if he was dissatisfied with James's mistreatment of him, "Namebrand, James, anyone can see her name, what a boring guy you think I am." ”
James's face softened a little, but only a little. Leaving a demon in the café was clearly not the outcome James wanted.
Zach didn't give James any time to think, and looked at the waitress and Georgina with a smile, "Can you please take care of our friends from out of town? Lance and I need to get away for a while." ”
As he said this, Zach placed a few Doles on a table piled high with food and drinks, "And trouble Georgina to be able to continue to introduce food to my friends." ”
James tried to speak, but Zack's hand pressed against his waist stopped, and his face became gloomy again. Zach looked at Georgina with a smile, "My friend hasn't been outside for a long time, and he doesn't understand many things, I hope you won't mind." ”
Zach seems to be deliberately trying to deepen some kind of misunderstanding. James Lance, as a 'friend' of the detectives, would be in a bad mood when he met him on his days off, and would come from the police station to meet him on weekdays, plus he 'hadn't been outside for a long time'.
Let your imagination fly.
Georgina observed James's expression, reluctant and unsure of what to do. The girl smiled suddenly, and two dimples appeared under her bulging cheeks like a normal, cheerful café waitress. She patted the back of the male colleague who came with her, "I'll take care of it." ”
The waitress shrugged and turned around, "Red wine brownie, please." After calming the frightened guests, he joined the ranks of other colleagues who were giving away snacks.
It wasn't a loss, and Zach left enough tips for Georgina to split up and make it up.
Georgina had already walked over to Mike, who was still standing and at a loss, took the initiative to pick up the menu, smiled and nodded at James, and then explained to Mike in detail the ingredients and preparation methods represented by the various names on the menu.
Zack's hand pressed against James' waist a little harder, and James had to finally nod at Georgina and walk out.
As soon as he left the café, Zach subconsciously let go of his hand to block out the strong sunlight. James couldn't help but not explode immediately, but silently walked through the floor-to-ceiling window of the café and turned into the alley of the attic.
I don't know if it's because it's the best use of things, or if James's identity makes him disdain the stairs. It was only two floors, and James walked to the innermost elevator for his own purpose, silently pulled up the fence, stepped in, pushed the wrench, and the elevator began to move slowly up after a jolt.
Zach put away the bottle in his hand and looked at the silent James with a smirk, "Why aren't you angry that I want to blackmail you again?"
James's coat, in the back of the waist, had a small hole that had been pierced by a vampire's fingernails.
The dim light in the elevator cast the cage-like metal fence wall of the elevator on the two of them, and James lowered his head slightly and glanced at Zack, "It's a fart." ”
Zach frowned, it was the rudeest 'thank you' he'd ever heard. James's wings hardened.
