Scattered street lamps are embedded in the dark and rainy night, and a little continuously, Highway 27 draws the spine of the South Side on the black ground, so that people can roughly distinguish the direction.

The dim lights, torn apart by the dense rain lines, occasionally buried by sudden lightning, and the scattered outlines of the houses flickered in the dazzling blue and white light, proving that this was not a desert without people.

The rain repeated and alternated between fierce and sluggish, and then it seemed to be fierce again, and lightning lit up the heavens and the earth. Somewhere between the Grande and Paisin West.

The two figures met, one old and the other corrupt, and disappeared immediately after a brief appearance, not buried in the dark rain line. When vision is obstructed by darkness, the intense sound of rain buries all sound at the same time.

It seemed to be the last struggle of the rain before it disappeared, and after the intensity, it calmed down and the night sky began to clear. When the view is free from the rain and darkness, and you can see the surrounding scenery, there is nothing left.

However, no one knows exactly when the rain will stop, and by the time the moon's silhouette begins to appear in the night, it is already hanging in the sky. Whether it is the work and rest of the 'countrymen' in the southern district, or the special nature of the current period, the citizens of the southern district may have rested long ago.

I hope you don't know when the rain stops, and what is buried in the fierceness of the rain's last struggle does not seem to be a good thing, and I hope that no innocent citizens will be disturbed.

The night sky, which had been obscured for two nights, did not become too nostalgic for the world, and according to the law of day after day, it pushed the stars in it, which were seen and invisible, to move westward until the sun in the east, which had also been blocked for two days, was revealed.

A new day begins.

As the sunlight covered the ground and began to evaporate a trail of water as hard as it could, Zack the vampire clasped his hands and leaned against his chin. Sitting behind his desk, staring at the desk clock across from him. The pendulum below sways from side to side, and the hands above do not move.

Click. The minute hand was moved to the 12 position, and the hour hand was finally aligned with the 9.

Zach snorted, Gangaro was really not trustworthy, and he was actually late.

Zach stood up and lifted the curtains behind him. The steaming water distorted the view slightly, and Zach looked up at the clear sky. It seems that the next time it rains, the table of the seasons will be more clear.

"Five minutes. Zach muttered to himself that this was the deadline he had given Thomas Gangaro. He sat back at his desk and stared at the clock.

The phone rang.

Zach guessed who it was, as always, and picked it up, "Grande." ”

"Zach, is Alice there?" said Lola's voice.

It's the weekend. Grande was used to being disturbed by a young girl on weekends. But it's rare for her to call honestly.

Zach smiled, "Wait a minute. ”

It didn't take long for Alice to pick up the phone, "Lola." ”

In the Grande House, there is no privacy when it comes to making sounds, and of course Alice doesn't care. So Zach sat there and listened to Lola complain about the final exams.

"I can't come today, I'm going to tutor in math. I have to get a C or I'm going to repeat a grade! I don't want to go to two first grades!"

Alice smiled. "Then you have to come on. Alice was a little worried, and glanced at Zack, "Are you going to tutor? ”

Lola in the earpiece smiled bitterly, "Father got a tutor to come home, I don't have to go out, I'm safe." Be careful, too. ”

Alice was a little relieved. However, if you can see Lola, it would be better to use the banshee's 'eyesight' to make sure. Alice pursed her lips, mumbled, and hung up the phone after saying goodbye to her friend.

Zach smiled and patted Alice on the shoulder. Signaling to her not to worry, if the security guards of the Barton family can't even defend against a few fugitives, then its surname will really be called in vain.

After Alice left, Zach continued to stare at the clock, and the time was up. Zach was still sitting alone in the office, with no guests present. The vampire frowned, "Five more points......"

The sound of the engine began to reach the vampire's ears, and Zach opened the curtains again and looked out.

Zach raised an eyebrow and simply renamed Grande's weekend 'Disturbance Day for the Third Generation of the West End,' and Blake was here.

Seeing that Blake seemed to be about to park the car at the front entrance, Zakla opened the window, and the sunlight made the vampire squint and wave at Blake in the driver's seat, telling him to turn to the backyard.

In summer, it is common sense to park the car in the shade as much as possible, everyone is so familiar, there is no need to see it so outside.

Blake seemed a little surprised that Zach had noticed his arrival in advance, nodded behind the wheel, turned the car around, and went around to the backyard. Zach had appeared on the porch, gesturing to the open door of Benjamin's warehouse.

Benjamin's warehouse was originally a converted barn on the farm, and was used as a warehouse during the old Grande period, and has since become what it is today.

The second floor is used as a bedroom, and the open floor is generally a workshop and a place to pile hay, and there is no problem with cramming five or six cars. Now Grande's van and Zack's vintage sedan are parked inside.

Blake walked out of the warehouse door with a briefcase, smiling at Zach as thanking and greeting.

Zach looked at Blake, who was dressed in formal attire, raised an eyebrow, and asked him as he walked by, "You don't look like you're here to talk to Old Hank?"

Blake smiled wryly, "No, I'm here to work." ”

Zach looked at the briefcase in his hand, understood, beckoned the guest to the office, and joked with a smile, "Are you already in the mayor's office?"

"Publicist idleness. Blake smiled and followed Zach into the office, "It's just a title." ”

Zach invited Blake to sit down, smiled and shook his head, "I still work on the weekend, I don't think it's an idle job." ”

Blake had a smile on his face, but there was clearly something else. Now it's just PR, and when winter begins, it will definitely be the campaign manager. Now it can be seen as a run-in period for Stone and Anthony to cultivate a relationship, and prepare for the future cooperation group.

"Are you alone?" Zach was a little puzzled, after all, Barton was not very safe now, and it was still a bit dangerous to let this rich and powerful young man go out and hang around alone.

"Yes. Blake smiled, "It's okay. I have black segments. ”

Zach raised an eyebrow. Remember what Amanda said about Stone's family on Amanda's birthday party? It's a good tradition, and politicians need to be able to protect themselves.

There was silence in the office for a while, Blake looked like he wanted to say something, and Zach looked a little anxious.

"You ......" In order to maintain the friendly atmosphere between the two, Zach decided to speak first. "I'm here to investigate the relationship between Grande and the prison. ”

Blake pursed his lips, if the other party was not Grande, he would be much easier to speak, a necessary skill for politicians, a few words can go around to his own purpose, but the other party is Grande. Blake already knew pretty much what Grande had in mind with his elders on the West End, and the obvious conflict of interest made him not know how to speak.

Blake nodded, he didn't need to wonder that Zach was well-informed. Anyway, they are already familiar with it, this is not an ordinary funeral home.

Blake was apologetic. "It could be that the mayor saw at the dinner that we knew each other as friends, so let me come, yes, ask. ”

Of course not!Zach tugged at the corners of his mouth, Anthony was sending a clear message to Grande to stop meddling and get Blake, a guy who clearly knew that he had something to do with Grande, to investigate, which was actually similar to what James had done before. Binding the hands and feet of the aliens.

However, Anthony is much smarter, and it is still possible to get mad in front of the police. Going crazy in front of the West End, Zach will never do it.

Zach nodded, with a serious expression, "Blake, we're friends, right." ”

Blake frowned. Not quite sure what Zach meant by that, but facts are facts, and he nodded, "Yes." ”

"Then we don't have to go through the boring temptation. Zach narrowed his eyes and lowered his voice. Looking at Blake, "Sue me, mayor's office, are you going to give up Prison Captain Vincent?"

Blake opened his mouth, and Zach was asking directly!

How can a small, remote funeral home speculate about the intentions of the City Rights Center?! But Grande is not just a funeral home! Blake knows this very well!

Blake looked into Zack's eyes and nodded, "I ......" he withdrew his gaze and picked up his briefcase, "Actually, when I came, I had already discussed it with the people at home. ”

Zach had already gotten his answer, and his expression was normal. Thinking about it, it is clear that the police department is obviously investigating the prison, and it is uncertain who is behind it (Zach guesses that it is Ethera), and the final purpose must be to point to Anthony.

Then Anthony's only way to deal with it is to cut off the relationship with the prison as much as possible when a qiē backlash is on him. It's best to hold a knife yourself, cut off this trouble, and stop everyone's mouth!

Blake took out some text and handed it to Zack, "We don't know how deep your cooperation with the prison is. He looked at Zach apologetically, "Our Stone family's decision, you will know after the dinner, we will support the current mayor." But I didn't expect that the first job assigned by the mayor had a relationship with Grande. ”

Zach took the article, a little surprised, worthy of the Stone family, these articles have been listed in the past ten years, every time Grande and the prison have cooperated!

time, the official cause of death of the prisoner, the method of disposal, the official cost of consumption......

"We Stone mean that we don't want to undermine Grande's interests......"

Zach interrupted Blake's words with a smile and a wave, "Interests?" Zach handed Blake the text to Blake, and smiled sincerely, "I'm grateful that you guys will think about Grande." Zach pointed to the amount of the official funeral fee for each Grande funeral in the prison, "You might think the prison will pay us more as a reward for our silence?"

Blake nodded helplessly.

Zach shrugged his shoulders and smiled happily, "If that's the case, Benjamin and I wouldn't need to start a new business again." ”

Zach didn't hesitate to sell Barton City's 'best warden'. (To be continued......)
