Chapter XVIII Farmers on the Border

'Welcome to Barton. ’

James gasped, holding the sign standing on the side of the road with one hand and pressing his knee with the other. He hated this road, and it was here that he was beaten half to death by King more than three months ago, and then thrown into the woods to die. Now he's been left here by a shadow man again.

James didn't dare to waste time, and after catching his breath, he looked in the direction and continued to run. The people of the southern district, especially the closer to the border, seem to rest early, and it is only ten o'clock, and there is no light!

James was making out the direction of the house in the night, he needed a phone, he needed to find Zach and them, he needed to tell them that Wandall had left Barton.

 ≧No ≧ mistake≧ Xiao ≧ said, ←+om;After running wildly on the road for more than ten minutes, our detective finally stood in front of a farmer's household, his mouth was wide open, and now his nose could not work well, he tried to control his breathing, and knocked heavily on the door of others.

"Who! what time is it!" came the irritated male voice.

"Patton Police Department!" cried James against his heaving chest, "Lance Detective! I need to use your phone! Open the door!

The door opened, and a frowning man glared at James, but immediately his face changed strangely, "What's the matter with your nose, are you okay?"

"Nothing!" James took out his badge and stuffed it directly into the other party's hand, shouting urgently, "Where's the phone?!

The man was only wearing a pair of shorts, and his hair was messy, and he was a little stunned when he looked at the police badge in his hand, and pointed in a direction, "There." ”

James rushed straight in, not bothering to observe his surroundings at all. Picked up the handset and started dialing.

Click......

After a moment, the man seemed a little embarrassed and handed the badge back to James, who was staring at the turning of the phone dial, "Old phone." ”

James's fingers quickly inserted a number, and spun down. Then keep waiting, click-click......

"Who's coming. A flat female voice rang out from inside the room.

The man frowned and responded, "A policeman, he's on the phone, he's hurt." Brill (Volume VII, The Sister of the Man Who Died in Prison. The man is his fiancé, and he took someone to the mill to ask for a burial of Cyrus), can you bring the medicine kit. ”

When James finally finished dialing Grande's phone. Brill also walked out with a plastic box, sat on the side, looked at James with a blank face, opened the box, and took out a cotton cloth and disinfectant.

"No need, thank you......" James's euphemistic refusal was not finished, and his tone became urgent, "Zack!

In the earpiece was Danny's voice. In fact, it doesn't matter who it is, they all received an explanation. If James calls, the reply will be uniformly - "You're missing, they're looking for you, you call your own home to see." ”

James wasted no time and snapped the hang up, inserting his fingers into the dial again. Quickly turn down, click, click......

A cotton cloth filled with the smell of disinfectant was pressed against James's nose. In the midst of the severe pain, James instinctively wanted to hide, but was held down by the strong man, and Cyrus frowned. "She doesn't like rejection and you need to clean up your wounds. ”

James glanced at the expressionless woman, her movements were not gentle at all, rubbing around the bridge of James's nose. James endured the pain and let her go.

The call was quickly picked up, "Zach! is that you?!"

"Benjamin. "The voice of alpha came from the earpiece.

James looked at the woman standing in front of him to disinfect himself, raised his hand, and covered the phone, "Can you give me a little space?"

Brill put down the box and walked away, and Cyrus put her around her and sent her into the bedroom, "You rest first." ”

James let go of the hand that was covering the microphone, "Benjamin, you have to come here quickly, the southern border of the South, Vandall has left Barton!" James said hurriedly.

"Yes. Benjamin gave a brief sigh of encouragement, "I sue Sù Zack." ”

"Where's Zach?!"

"Outside, looking for you. Benjamin maintained the principle of saying less and making fewer mistakes, "Wait where you are, and he will come to you." ”

"Okay! hurry! I'll wait!" James nodded, still anxious.

"There's something. Benjamin's voice had a hint of an incomprehensible smile, "Your girlfriend came looking for you, alone, crying, you're not there, and gone." ”

Georgina! James opened his mouth, "When?!uh! It's none of your business!"

"I'm just telling you. Benjamin in the earpiece smiled, "I didn't ask anything. ”

"Sue Zach hurry up!" James hung up.

"What are you going to do?" Cyrus blocked the doorway, pushing James back who wanted to rush out, he frowned and glanced at James's miserable nose, "You have to wait for someone anyway, at least wrap your nose!"

James's voice was loud and urgent, and it was strange that it was not heard in this small old house. Cyrus didn't give James a chance to refuse, picked up the cotton, and continued what Brill had put down earlier.

"You should go to the hospital, or your nose will be crooked. I can only help you stay safe from infection. Cyrus frowned, but his movements were much softer than Brill's.

James looked at the man in front of him, this was probably the only thing he felt warm all day, but the other party was a strong man wearing only an old pair of shorts, which made him feel a little strange.

"Thank you, I will. James turned his gaze, trying not to look at the other man, or to notice the sharp pain from the forced breaking of the bridge of his nose.

"Did you say Zach and Benjamin, the two brothers of Grande?" Cyrus seemed to hesitate for a long time before he asked, already bent over and folding the gauze.

James frowned and asked in surprise, "Do you know them?"

"Sort of. Cyrus pursed his lips, looking at his expression, not a happy expression, "How do they have anything to do with you, a police detective in the North District?"

Because James was anxious, the badge he stuffed directly into him seemed to be very carefully checked.

"Uh......" James became irritable in an instant, and he found himself relaxed for a moment, and accidentally said, "It's nothing, they're just helping." James frowned, "Please don't say it. ”

"There's not much to say. Cyrus pursed his lips, impatience flashing across his face, "Everyone knows that Grande has something to do with the Southern Police Department, otherwise there wouldn't be that mill." He glanced at James, "It's just that you're in the North District, but I didn't expect Grande to have a relationship with the North District Police Department." "It's already ironic.

James looked at the man in front of him, the other party obviously had some bad thoughts, and his impression of the Grande House was not good, and his tone was full of rejection.

"They're helping me investigate a case. James stared at Cyrus, who pressed the powdered gauze to his face, and said seriously, "They are helping as civilians, I hope you can understand this, this cannot be made public, only privately, help." This will be to protect Grande and help the police, and the City of Barton will be grateful. ”

Think of Grande's image in the hearts of the people of the Southside. After a few years of neglect, he survived on the little business of prisons and hospitals, plus grants from the municipal government. Then, magically compared to the seriously operated [Allen Funeral Home], got the cooperation with the Southern District Police Department, and made a lot of money in the compensation for the removal of graves by the city government, and was crowned with the title of the only traditional funeral industry in Barton City.

Maybe it was just an after-dinner conversation, but James didn't know that Cyrus and Grande had a personal relationship. Therefore, when Cyrus spoke of Grande, the tone of subjective bias made James only think: such a Grande, in the eyes of some people, does not represent a good meaning.

So, James did something he hadn't thought of himself, and he was explaining it for Grande!

Grande is not some kind of scumbag of dependencies, but someone who is helping the city of Barton.

Cyrus pressed the strip of tape against James's cheek, frowned, and after a while, said, "I see, you don't need to explain it to me. Turning around and closing the medicine box, "Alright, you can go." ”

James fidgeted and touched what had been taped to his face, shook his head, forget it, he really didn't need to explain. One last glance at Cyrus, "Thanks again." "Walked out of the door that had been opened.

Zach stood on the roof of Cyrus's house, watching the back of James with his head down, quickly returning the same way he came, towards the southern border of the Southern District. There was satisfaction and some disappointment on the vampire's face.

Satisfied, of course, is that James is speaking for Grande, and the vampire's teachings to the detective are finally bearing fruit. And disappointedly, he only now realized that the tone in which Cyrus said those words turned out to be like this in the minds of these humans.

The vampire shook his head, sighed softly, and smiled again. Well, there is nothing wrong with Cyrus about Grande, and Grande's existence is due to Mayor Anthony, which is the thickest and most solid relationship in Barton.

Zach moved silently on the roof, helping Cyrus smooth out several weak tiles on the roof. Then he inspected the surroundings, jumped off the house, easily pressed the upturned fence back, the straw in the cowshed was evenly sprinkled, and the leaky pipes were plugged......

There was no particular intention, and Zach just needed to kill some extra time when he was 'rushing' to James.

As for Vandall, don't worry that they've fled too far. Walter had already agreed with Zach that after entering Newton City, he would not go far, but directly explained to the filmmaker who made this qiē, and waited for Zach to arrive to make a transaction.

So, as James anxiously paced back and forth on Route 27 waiting for Zach to come. The surroundings of Cyrus's house are being repaired little by little by the vampires. And Wandel, who was already in Newton City, was staring at Walter who was resting against the backrest in surprise, "Are you serious......? They, they're willing to help me!"

Please understand Wandel's excitement, like a fox who discovers that two lions are willing to help him escape from the tiger, it is like a fairy tale come true. (To be continued......)
