Finally, when it comes to demons
After Sissi left, Grande was not much quieter, and continued the morning call, but it was no longer a West Sider who felt that his interests and reputation were threatened, and was a little anxious.
Zach and Louise deal with a variety of characters who come intermittently to inquire about news, including certain acquaintances in the gray professional circles, including Blake, a publicist in the mayor's office who has an odd tone and is nervous and confined to business.
After playing so many times, a routine has been formed, and it is easy to spread all the news that should be disseminated, and Zach still has the mind to find the phone number of the renovation company from the phone book. Remember, Grande is going to have to be overhauled.
Something worth mentioning is that Zach asked for something on the phone that had not been considered for four centuries.
"Mirrors. Zach asked the receiver with a happy face, "Yes, the Grande Funeral Home in the South Side, hehehe." Yes, Barton's only funeral home where burials are still conducted. Our reception room was a bit small, but I didn't want to touch the architectural foundations left behind by my father. "Because of the need to separate Louise from a real office," yes, yes. I've heard that mirrors can make the space look bigger, do you have any plans?......
Zach even called the 'General's' rival [Skull Skull] out of a certain childish psychology to find Old Hank, who was enjoying the care of his juniors.
Because Zach wanted to completely turn the master bedroom on the second floor into a real entertainment room. In addition to the double bed that took up a seat but no one slept at all, the television and VCR, for example, which had been 'tainted' for a short time by Papa's midnight witchcraft, could also be replaced.
This is the 'core' item of the previous generation of Grande, and Zach needs the consent of old Hank.
"Let's get it done! We'd better get the house in order!" said old Hank.
Near lunch, Zach receives an unexpected but not surprising phone call.
Fitz's voice was abnormal and he shouted at the earpiece, "Zach, you're alright, Benjamin is okay?"
This little otaku was reminding James of the daily comic book countdown when he learned about Grande's ransacking, so he called to care.
Honest Patton citizens. The speed of knowing this news that stirred up the entire Patton force is too slow, but it is understandable, the social section of today's newspaper, both pages are occupied by the tragedy of the Bishop family in the West End, who cares about Grande, who is just a small funeral home on the surface?
"It's okay, it's all right. Zach adjusted his breathing. made the head of the looted house look tired, and the tone came out, "It's just, I'm really sorry Fitz, you gave us the comic ......"
Remember, in order to familiarize Zach and Benjamin with their Comic-Con characters, these precious 'treasures' were lent to the two Grande brothers so that they could go back and read them.
But. Do you remember the looting planned by Zach and Skoll of the Skull, except for the food in the kitchen, which is related to life, and the furniture left behind by Grande's parents, everything else is casual. Fitz's baby is in the category 'Other'.
"Ahh......h I, I'm going to come and see you at night? was ransacked, and you had to cooperate with the police. You're tired, you guys have a good rest......."
Zach was quite moved, and Fitz didn't mention the Comic Con until he hung up the phone, so Zach didn't have to lie more to this kind guy. Even with social disabilities, Fitz knew it would be too much to ask the Grande brothers to accompany them to Comic Con at times like these.
Although this is not the case at all.
The truth is that Crowley hasn't come back yet. The negotiation between the Devil of Barton and the Demon of Newton is not over yet, and it is not yet certain whether it is safe to go to the Comic-Con, whether it is for Fitz and the innocent citizens of the United States, or Grande.
Crowley has been gone for a long time. Did the conversation with Newton Devil run into any trouble, and what the future would look like. In Zach at Grande, there was not a clue.
Zach pursed his lips, thinking about Crowley, and put down Fitz's phone with some regret.
"Did you miss me?"
This is the phrase that is often said to be 'speaking of demons.'
Crowley looked left and right at the messy office, consciously sat down in the chair in front of the desk, and moved her body comfortably, "No one doubts?" The Fallen Angel smiled with a smile on his face, "The valuable things here are all in good condition, but the messy things are ......" Crowley laughed.
She was talking about furniture, handmade and exquisite furniture left by her father Grande, which had survived the looting intact, and only used cluttered pages and small bits and pieces to create a sense of dilapidation. Zach and Benjamin's poor handmade furniture was destroyed.
If the police were careful enough, they should have seen it. But it didn't matter, Zach had made sure that the Southern District Chief, Perles' focus was elsewhere, and it didn't matter if he knew it was a 'joke'.
Zach ignored Crowley's opening and used a 'welcome back' expression, "When did you come back, is Grande your first stop after you come back?" ”
"Don't be honored. Crowley's face was full of joy, "The honor should be me, I can come back to Barton, or because of you, because of you Grande." Crowley squinted at Zach, "I'm serious, it's supposed to be me to be a part of Barton City, and it's a great honor to be able to work with Grande...... Pleasure. ”
Zach raised an eyebrow, vanity made the vampire decide to accept the flattery first, and then say, "Well, thank you then." But, Zach blinked, "What did we work with again?"
The cooperation with Stall can be regarded as with Crowley, but Zach really can't think of how a big event that is not even clear to people in Barton (referring to Herman shutting down the factory) can affect Crowley in Newton and make her happy.
"Oh!" Crowley's hand slid over the short hair on her forehead, the Fallen Angel's habit of playing with her hair was not limited by the short hair, "My fault is that I haven't confirmed whether it's a cooperation yet, but I'm very hopeful that it can." Crowley leaned forward and looked at Grande with a smile, "Go to the republic's position, can you give me one?"
It's to aggravate, but Crowley lowered her voice, "Please make sure I can go to the Republic, definitely." If I can't bring Newton's demons something they're interested in, I'll really have to trade the last of Toredo for peace in the two cities. ”
The vampire's eyes looked into the eyes of the fallen angel, and a little smile gradually spread.
Got Crowley's words?
Zach's fears when he hung up the phone came true, and the conversation between Crowley and Newton's demon had been dragged on for so long, and it had come to the point where he was about to betray Barton's internal alien race - and finally Torredo came to negotiate with him.
The turning point also appeared at this moment when it was about to become a stalemate, that is, Grande inexplicably provoked a child disappearance incident that went too far in the past two days, and the result was - 'go to the republic', go to the republic where the upper echelons of the Holy Lord's faith are now!
'Newton's demons are interested in', oh! this is probably what all demons are interested in, what are the people holding them down! It depends on how long they can have fun in this world!
I'm afraid that among all the demons in the Federation, the one who is most interested is the fallen angel herself!
However, it doesn't matter who is more interested in Zack. This apparently passive threat leaves our vampires with little choice.
Zach's smiling eyes rolled away, "Well, you've earned yourself a place to go to the Republic." ”
Zach raised an eyebrow and kindly added, "Remind you, Saint Sissi will also go, leave Patton, your peace agreement will no longer be in force, good luck." ”
Drop-off. (To be continued......)
