"Polly, beautiful Polly, will you be ruthless to me. Let me sit next to you, I can tell you. I want to be with you and never be separated. Oh Polly, beautiful Polly, you will ...... to me"
James pushed open the basement door, not knowing how to interrupt what he was seeing. Zach put his arm around Louise and sang in front of a mirror.
"You've broken my heart, O Polly, let's get together and see all the beauty ...... the world"
"Alright. Turning her back to James Louise lifted Zach's hand around him, "You go up, I'll be fine." ”
Zach, who couldn't sing the last note, didn't respond, looked at James's reflection in the mirror, and then still hugged Louise before standing up, no matter what the expression was before, now it turned into a smile, "Don't let me sing anymore, I may sing completely different." Don't ask me what song it is, I don't remember. ”
Louise raised her hand and shook it, probably smiling, as the two red rays in the mirror were squeezed and slightly bent.
Zach walked up to James, grabbed James just as he was about to speak, turned 180 degrees, took him out of the basement, and closed the door with his backhand and carried him up the stairs. The smile was gone, and Zach wasn't in a good mood, "Are you here?" ”
James tugged at the corners of his mouth, and as he went upstairs, he pushed his arm to get rid of Zach's grasp, and his tone was sarcastic, "Interesting? I don't know how you did it, and I don't want to know! Come back before me, and then play such a play, and now pretend not to know." ”
"What are you talking about. Zach glanced at James and was already on the stairwell. Looking at the suitcase that James had placed by the door, he frowned, "You brought the luggage." "Statement. "I hope this is a gift for me. "Statement. Naturally, this was a joke, and Zach knew that James's house was impossible to live in right now, and the meaning of what he saw was clear.
"Tsk, I'm not in the mood to keep playing with you!" James's brow furrowed, "Now, to answer my question, let's start with Wales......"
James shut up. As Zach began to look at himself seriously, the vampire's gaze made James uncomfortable, "What are you looking at......"
"You're healed. Zach frowned. He actually stretched out his hand directly and pressed it on James's chest, "even a few cracks in your ribs......"
"Don't touch me!" James slapped Zack's hand away, "I said I'm not in the mood to play with you!"
"What to play. Zach looked at James. He hugged his arms. The face is expressionless.
James opened his mouth for a moment, then said, "Tsk, funny, funny, now, I'll give up! Whatever kind of bad taste you have for this kind of thing, I'm satisfied!!Stop playing, I need to know what Wales did yesterday." And also. James's head turned sideways, in the direction of the basement. "What's going on with Louise, it didn't look very good just now. ”
Zach didn't speak. Just staring at James, expressionless.
"Don't speak. The corners of James's mouth twitched as he looked at Zach, "Still silent." Okay, good, I didn't expect you to be so obsessed with bad taste, it seems that I have never mistaken you, you are a ......"
Zack's gaze turned sideways, and with his body, he walked out the door with a look of ignoring James, and stood on the back porch, waiting.
The reason Louise asked Zach to leave the office wasn't because James was coming, it was because of other visitors who were about to come from the west side. It's not very accurate, in fact, I arrived a long time ago, but after arriving at Grande, I was directed to the cemetery on the west side, and met Mr. and Mrs. Lang who were choosing a cemetery, and then came back together.
"Hey, I'm talking to you, right in front of you......"
"Be quiet, James. Zach directly raised his hand to stop James's words, "I don't know what you're talking about at all. Zach waved his hand as if impatiently, "I know only ......" Zach glanced at James indifferently, "You're healed, I'll see you for the last time, you're tied to an ambulance, and the paramedics are bandaging you." ”
James blinked, probably stupid.
"Now you stand before me in good condition and ask me for information. Zach retracted his gaze, "I felt offended. Looks like you have other 'friends' besides me to help you. I don't know if it's intentional, Zach accentuated the word 'friend', "Why don't you bother with this, 'friend', let me be quiet for a while." ”
There was a brief silence, and then a struggle after being silly, "I said it! It's not fun!
Zach shrugged, "Still, I don't know what you're talking about, I'm not playing anything." ”
Out of thin air, James shuddered and spoke suddenly, "You weren't at my house before? Didn't you sneak a glass of your blood on the bar? Didn't you hide and continue to play the game of watching me and Corson like yesterday? I shouted so many words into the room and you didn't listen......"
Zach glanced at James again, already thinking about who he had just called a 'friend'. Hmph, who could it be, there are only a few vampires James could know," James. Of course, the truth needs to make James mind jump off the cliff again, and this time, Zach wasn't prepared to be the one pushing James.
This is James's own problem, don't expect help from others.
"You see, do you think I'm going to play any game with you when Louise is in this state? So, all of the above, no. Since yesterday, I haven't been to your house, nor have I given you blood, nor have I secretly hid and listened to your shouts. Yesterday I didn't bother to bother with you after I learned that the case of the club's remnants had been completely cleared and that you would no longer be in any danger. I have my own business to deal with, and you're thinking too much of it. ”
"I, I'm ......" James's eyes widened for a long time, his face began to turn pork liver red, and his hands unconsciously covered his stomach, "I...... What did you drink......"
yes, James should have thought this for the first time, what he drank when he was at home!
The answer is simple, and nothing to debate, is vampire blood. Miraculous healing effect. It's not a cabbage from a bad street. The question is, whose is it?
"Hmph. Zach shook his head slightly, and responded briefly. Indicates disdain. Zach, who already knows the truth, naturally won't have any big reaction, and still ignores it, "What's the matter." He looked James up and down again, "It's good." Then, he raised his eyebrows and raised his tone slightly, as if he had found something that really interested him. "Is this Morelline's cut?"
Zach pursed his lips, already with a look of complete appreciation of James's costume, "He did mention that my preferred cut is too traditional (when I was dressing Matthew)." You look okay, I think I can try a ......."
"Zach!" James's face was already flushed and he was overly excited, "what's wrong with you! Now is the time to care about tailoring!" James slapped himself in confusion. "Do you realize what that means?!Someone left a cup of vampire blood in my house!" There's still room to advance. "He' is there! my home!" began to sweat on James's forehead, "I thought it was you, and when I thought I was safe, 'he' was in the same space as me......" I could push further, James' magazine was empty......
"And then he or she or it ......," Zach was very comprehensive, "and generously gave you a cup of blood." The corners of Zack's mouth curled slightly, and James said what he thought was Zach, and then thought he was safe. That says something, doesn't it. But that's not what Zach was trying to say. "I thought our relationship was the only one, it seems, it wasn't. Well, James, it seems that in the interpersonal relationships that you don't know, this combination of ours is not the only one, hmph, whether it is a friend like you and me, it's hard to say. ”
Zach deliberately messed up James's thinking.
"You...... What do you mean......"
Zach didn't need to answer.
After Linda and Ozzy Cozier, James's mind began to be confused by the relationships he had once had in the West. Do you understand? The aliens in Barton, James knows, no one is good enough to James except Zack, to send blood. That could only come from James' hometown, the West. Linda, Oz, has lived by James's side for so long hiding his interracial identity, and all James can think of now is what acquaintances he had in his original life, interracial, more 'good', vampires, and even better, vampires.
As for why Zach did this, it can be said that he played with James's former interpersonal relationships. The reason is quite simple, first, Zach is not ready to tell James Georgina the truth directly. Second, James will become Anthony's opponent at some point, because no matter how James resists now, it can't change the fact that he is a pawn sent by the Western Feast.
It works great. A little bit of a play on James's deep rejection of aliens is the current picture. James's throat twitched and he began to vomit. But vampire blood isn't normal food, right, you can't spit it out.
Zach ignored it indifferently, and gave James some time to play with this little contrived performance, "You'd better be mental, the next guest is coming, you want to make a good impression." Zach's eyes were already looking to the west side, and he walked into the courtyard, ready to greet him.
"Who's coming......" James shut up, because the car had already driven into Grande's backyard, and the elongated body took up space between the two cars in the backyard, and the door was pushed open, and the first to rush down was a little fat man, Cody.
Then there are the Langs and his wife, and finally the middle-aged version of Cody, the owner of the top circle of the West End and the port of Massa, Mr. Fisher.
After the gesture, Fisher's gaze looked at James, and he didn't smile, don't think about it, just because the situation is not appropriate," Detective Lance. "Knowing, naturally, putting aside the aura of the general's son, today's news is also difficult to keep James's face low-key.
With a simple gesture, Mr. Fisher turned his gaze away, but perhaps with a little doubt, after all, James in the news was injured, but standing on the back porch of Grande, James was simply glorious, not to mention injured, and Morellinn's dress was 'meritorious'.
Zach didn't smile either, instead gesturing to the suitcase that James was leaning against the door, "The detective needs a place to live for the time being. ”
Fisher nodded, he didn't expect an explanation, but since Zach took the initiative to say it, he could only say something, "I've heard rumors that Mr. Grande and Detective Lance have a good relationship, and it seems to be true." ”
That's it, James and Grande, once they are put in the same sentence on the bright side, hehe, it's hard to separate.
"Please, Zach. Zach nodded slightly, no longer caring about James's unnatural movements and taking the suitcase upstairs, it should have been to grab the room. Zack's eyes looked at the four people who got out of the car, and Cody, the little guy from Lola's Five, had turned around and ran towards Benjamin's warehouse, and these little guys from the West End were very familiar with Grande.
Before Mr. Fisher could stop him, Zach continued, "It's okay, he and Lola are both comfortable when they come to Grande, let him go." ......," Zach looked at Mr. and Mrs. Long, "I think Mr. Fisher has already chosen a cemetery for you." "Get the conversation to the point.
Mr. and Mrs. Lang nodded, and Mr. Fisher took over, "Yes, I have asked Lang's permission to help refer to the funeral arrangements, and I hope that Gran will ...... Oh, Zach, don't mind, how about you spend time with me again. ”
"Of course not. Zach nodded, leaning sideways in a gesture of please.
Mr. Fisher did not rush to follow, but first shook the hands of Mr. and Mrs. Lang, "You have done enough today, leave it to me next." A very sincere and comforting tone, and then signaled to the driver, "Send you back to rest first, and then I will hand over the detailed arrangements to you, don't worry." ”
"Thank you, Mr. Fisher. ”
"No, I don't. Mr. Fisher had a sad look on his face, "Lang (the son of the Lang couple) is basically Cody's big brother, and you have served the Fisher family for most of your life, which is what I should do." ”
Of course, Zach didn't rush, and waited for this to be over, and accompanied Fisher to see the car carrying the Langs leave, and then went to the office together.
Mr. Fisher seemed worried. Is there anything bothering you?" Zach smiled as he went upstairs, loosening his deliberately solemn face a little. Because the person who wants to talk about the funeral is no longer the parent concerned, the heaviness will naturally be less. As for the reason for this, it was that Fisher always looked back in the direction of the warehouse, and seemed to be concerned about the state of his son Cody.
"Ahh Mr. Fisher smiled as well, and digressed first, "I think I should follow the rules that the rest of the West End has for you, just call me Fisher, and Mr. and honorifics will not be needed, Zack." ”
The conversation officially returns to the pattern of Grande and the Westsiders. (To be continued.) )
