33 Telephone
With a touch of morning light caressing Alice's face, she was smiling, "Hehe, I believe my brothers can solve this little problem~"
The girl's blessing can melt the winter~ The snow has stopped, so let's get ready for spring.
The phone rang. Zach gestured to Alice to apologize, even though his brother wanted to talk to his sister a little longer, and now he couldn't help it. Zach picked up the phone.
"It's me. β
"Who?" Zach had actually heard the voice on the phone, but Zach didn't like the other party's tone. We're not good enough to use this kind of opening.
"Tsk, Miley Liszt, the woman who was in your house yesterday morning, remember!"
"Oh. You. Is there something wrong? β
"Why don't you guess where I am now? β
"Not interested. Zach was about to hang up, but, in the backgroundβ
"Why are you talking nonsense with him!"
Miley replied to the woman in the background, "Because he's a vampire and I know how to talk to vampires, or do you think you're more experienced?" So shut up!"
Zach had to interject helplessly, "Is that Kate's voice?
"Heh, are you interested now, Zach?" Miley in the earpiece sneered, "I'll give you another chance to guess where we are." β
How can you guess something that has no clue at all? Here's a clue.
A completely mechanical chime appears in the earpiece, 'Insufficient balance, please insert coins.' β
Zach was stunned for a moment, and the other side was obviously stunned for a moment, and then the two women could clearly be heard rummaging through the change in the other side.
Zach opened his mouth and said his guess, "Are you out of town?
A series of coin throws rang out, and Miley spoke again, "Yes! But you cheated, so there was no reward." β
Zach didn't want to argue with Miley about such a boring thing, but something more important was already beginning to appear, "Where are you? Why did you leave Barton?"
"Hehehe, why don't you guess again......"
Zach hung up. Simply a push.
Ten seconds, the phone was remembered again, Zach picked it up unhurriedly, and greeted the roar in the receiver, "You just wasted more than ten of me!"
"If you don't speak well, I'll continue to waste your change. Zach calmly informed, "Bite me, human." β
We've seen Zack's cautious eye more than once, and it was Miley who first said that he mocked Zack's race. So it must be returned.
"*!" Miley was obviously about to scold something, but after a small argument, the earpiece was replaced, "Hey, it's me." β
Well, although Zach didn't think Kate's relationship with him was good enough to start like this, it was better than Miley, so, "Good morning, Kate." β
The other party was not ready to reply to the greeting, "We are in xx city, do you know where it is." β
Zach knows, "The city where the central and eastern borders." "Anyway, the vampires are basically a federation that has been established, not to mention what they have contributed to the country, at least geographically, remember.
"Good, you know. James is here. "There's Miley's complaint in the background, 'Don't tell him so soon!' Zach decided to ignore it.
"James next to you?"
"Nope. Kate said noopingly, "James is here, your employee Dale is here, the military, the mind reader Kozill and Wes, are all here, in this city." β
Zach frowned, "Don't tell you and Miley ran out of Barton to chase Jan......"
"Yes. "Plainly sure," Miley said when she approached me, saying that James had been kidnapped, by a human, your employee Dale. As if laughing at himself, "If it was an alien, I wouldn't have listened to her say a word, James deserved it." "What?" but he was kidnapped by humans, humans. I'm not prepared to be indifferent when my boyfriend is kidnapped by humans. β
Zach didn't want to delve into some of Kate's words, but he had to say, "Are you crazy? When you hid from Newton's Black Witch, you didn't know what was going on in the rest of the Federation? β
"But I can't continue to hide in Newton, can I?!" Kate actually got angry, "I was called back by my boss to repair the relationship with you, didn't I? And what did you do!? You refused! So what can I do? Stay in the office every day and be scolded by the boss for being incompetent??"
Zach wasn't ready to accept the anger honestly, "Oh, so it's my fault? I made it impossible for you to stay in Barton and Newton, so you ran to the most dangerous place to die?"
There was silence on the other side of the earpiece for a moment, "That's it." β
Well, we've been reading this story long enough that we've realized that there are certain stereotypes that are impossible to eliminate. "Whatever you want. Zach gave up.
Kate, who was on the other side of the earpiece, adjusted her breathing, "The picture released by Barton TV yesterday is a news picture of a certain city in the central region, and after Miley came, I contacted the lower middle and learned that such a situation has happened in several cities in the central region. β
"Are you saying that the military regulates civilians, and the media and the authorities don't know what's going on, only, that people die, and that kind of thing?" Isn't that what was ridiculed on yesterday's talk show β under the military's control, civilians have no complaints.
"Yes. So either I stayed at Barton and was scolded, or I used that reason to come out and investigate. β
It's good, even though Kate verbally insists that it was Zach who ruined her life, at least she knows in her heart the real reason for her out.
Zach also had to praise Kate's abilities, "Then you've succeeded, you're in James' city." β
"Well, they're not hard to find at all. Anyone with eyes can see military cars crossing the streets. "I don't know what's going on in this country, but we obviously give the military too many privileges!
Zach was worried about the mayoral race in the newspapers again, but Kate was clearly not the one to share her worries, and Zach gathered his thoughts, "Are you going to be with Miley and Hurtsel?" β
"Nope. We tried. Kate's tone was not good, "Those soldiers should learn how to treat women properly!"
Translated, it means that these two women didn't see Kozil at all. Zach didn't need to ask any more questions, and they apparently didn't see Dale and James either.
But Zach could guess the purpose of the call, "Do you want me to provide you with a channel to meet Kozil?"
"You guessed it. Kate replied, "I need to know what's going on!"
"You already know. "Attention, Zach is not going to let Kate fool around here," James was kidnapped by Dale. Kozil and the military, in the rescue. β
"I need to know more!"
"More?" Zach laughed, "Oh, yes, too. - Kate tried to confuse something: "This kind of thing is written, and it can't be published~ Our Director Darcy of Patton, it is impossible for you to announce the fact that Patton's future mayor was kidnapped, right~ So you need to know more~ For example, the content of the military's operation, even if Patton does not let you publish a report on saving James, the authorities in the central city will want to know what the military has been doing in their own city in the past few days. β
Kate stopped talking, was debunked, what could she say. A reporter is a reporter, and throwing away such trivial things as a boyfriend who can't provide a sense of security for you, newsworthiness is the profession of a reporter, so don't report fantasies.
The phone changed again. Miley's cold voice rang out, "I just told you, the two of us haven't slept for more than 24 hours, we're tired and impatient. Let's put it this way, Zach, you either cooperate with us and let us get involved in the operation of Kozil and the military, or, the two of us figure out our own way. And trust me, you won't like the method we came up with on our own. β
"If you're going to threaten me. Zach deliberately used a sleepy tone, which can be regarded as deliberately stimulating the other party, "Please be specific." β
Then, the mood on the phone took a turn for the worse......
"Like I'm going to kill Kate right now, and then go back to Barton, wait for James to come back, crying and telling him that Kate died in the middle because Zach didn't help. β
Zach took half a minute to respond to Miley's words, "No, you can't do that. β
"Impossible? Do you know me well, do you know me well? I'm an actor and you don't know me at all. β
Zach found himself unable to refute. It was so bad that Zach could only say again, "I don't have Kozil's contact information unless they reach out to me." Zach compromised.
"Then I guess that's the problem you're going to solve, vampire. β
Zach frowned, "Give me an hour, I should be able to contact the west, find General Lance, and get to the contact party of the military in the center......"
"I don't care what you're going to do. Miley, "Done, that's what I care about." And then you have a quarter of an hour, vampires. β
It's time to be nostalgic for a time when technology didn't take control of life. Do you know that in ancient times, if two people were talking to each other and disagreeing, they could pounce on each other and then bite him to death. Let the other party's blood be sprinkled on the place where he was proud just now.
But antiquity is antiquity, a beautiful era that is gone forever. At this time, Zach could only hold the earpiece vigorously and glance at the time, "At least half an hour." β
"Ten minutes. Tick, tick, tick......"
Zach didn't continue to reminisce about the good old times in his mind, his hand was already on the hang-up, ready to cut off the phone here, and then call the west as fast as he could.
As Zach was about to cut off the phone, a shrill siren whistled and appeared in the background of the earpiece. Zach stopped there with his hung up fingers, "What's going on?"
It took a moment for the receiver to answer, "Police car, ...... heading" and then Miley became impatient, "Nine minutes, vampire." "This woman has absolutely no accurate concept of time.
But Zach's finger on the hang-up had been removed, "Gunshots, I heard them." β
"Don't interrupt, Zach. The title changed, and Miley's voice could be heard with momentary tension, "Eight minutes." "Having said that, this woman's concept of time is absolutely wrong.
"No, I'm serious, I heard gunshots, continuously. Zach didn't say anything, "Unfortunately, I'm not here, I can't tell you where I am." β
Miley seemed to be about to say something, and the background sound-
"Miley, get down!" Kate's voice said, then, "Run!!get out of this place!" In the midst of the chaos, screams and explosions, Zach still made out the voices he knew.
Zach, hey, Zach held the earpiece, "Hey, is anyone there?" Hey, hey, hey......" Zach put the earpiece down. glanced at the time, not to see how much time was left between himself and Miley, but to start recording how much time would pass from now on, and the phone would ring again.
In the middle of this process, Alice came up again, and it was a goodbye - despite the abundance of activities at night, the girl's schedule during the day was also fixed, and she had to go to the nursery. This goodbye is a benefit after a good relationship between brother and sister, Zach accepted it with a smile, and, "Be happy, pay attention to safety~"
Emilia also arrived, complained to Zach as usual, and then went to the living quarters to continue treating Evan.
Even Becky Quinn came once, saying that the first batch of wizard souls sent by the Fury Waves had arrived, and asked Zach if he wanted to check it out. Of course, Zach refused.
It feels like life goes on in Barton, except for Zach waiting for a pending phone call.
The phone rang.
Zach picked it up, and the earpiece spoke first, "We succeeded~" It was Ozzy Kozil with a smile, "James is safe~"
It's just that the smile of the other party should be with each other, and Zach also smiled, "It's great~ I hope you don't have any trouble~"
"Trouble?hehe, no, it went very well~ Do you want to talk to James?he's right here......" Zach could hear the microphone moving, but there was no sound except breathing, and the microphone returned to Oz, "He seems to be a little confused, hehe, but it's completely understandable~" Oz's mood seemed to be high, "Do you want to talk to our 'hero'?"
"'Hero'?"
"Ah, Dale's brother, we can't save James without him~"
"Well, forget it. Zach refused, "What about Dale...... Forget it, I don't care. Zach asked, "Where's Wes? I'd like to talk to Wes." "What are you looking for Wes?
"Of course, wait a minute. "Oz's voice called out to Wes came over the earpiece, and then," he ...... It's a little busy, but there's nothing you need to worry about~" Still Oz, his mood is still high, "I'd love to continue chatting with you~ Hehe, but I think, I'll have to deal with it......" didn't make it clear, "Hehe, you don't have to worry about it~"
"Of course, you do what you have to do. "Zach is caring.
"I'll start arranging for James' return, and you should be able to meet him tomorrow~ I know you must have some questions, you can ask him, in Grande~"
"I will. β
"That, hehe, goodbye~ This time it's true. "Don't explain this.
"Yes. β
Zach put down the phone and continued to wait.
Wait, wait, wait, wait. Here it comes.
"You're in luck!"
Zach himself couldn't believe that he was relieved to hear Miley's voice again, "I'm glad you're okay." β
"Hmph, don't pretend there! Let me guess, you've been notified that James has been rescued?"
"Yes. You see?"
"We saw it!" James was dragged ...... by a few soldiers, and the earpiece was snatched away and replaced with Kate, "Zack! people are dead! Civilians are dead! This is the reproduction of the news footage! The military began to cordon off the scene, control the civilian and media ......"
The earpiece was snatched back by Miley, "We still can't get close to that side!Tsk, we're going back to Barton now!This whole trip is a waste! Transportation expenses, you get out!" hung up.
Whatever.
Zach put down the phone and never got up as soon as he sat down early in the morning, he was tired from sitting down. Our vampire stretches out by the window looking at the clear sun. It's time to start your day, too. Enjoy, after all, James will be back tomorrow......
