16 game nights

Zack's route to Game Night is tellingβ€”he first goes to Wes's house to make sure Wes isn't there, then goes to the South Side Police Station to make sure that the rookie cop who has been groomed by his boss is not working, and then goes to the North Side in a happy mood.

Guess it, James, who returns to Barton, apparently invites his friend Wes to his only amusement at Barton - playing fantasy games with a group of otaku.

Then you might wonder why Zach had Jason there as well. Actually, this is a very offensive idea. For example, if we see two puppies of the same breed, we will subconsciously put the two together as a pair, regardless of whether they like each other or not.

Jason and Wes are not puppies of the same breed, but they have the same attributes. When we think that the vampire's four centuries of life experience can elevate his mind, he seems to have made a mistake that we all despise.

But, don't jump to conclusions. Zach wasn't entirely wrong. Recall how Weiss managed to infiltrate Fight Club? The two have crossed paths.

Regardless of the facts at the time, being able to get Jason to invite Wes to join a violent illegal group that only had complete internal trust shows that Wes is someone Jason feels he can trust, and vice versa, Jason also confirms that Wes will join. This trust exists with each other in a 'bad' way.

Zach is now willing to try to develop this relationship, why, say it, everyone will, well, sad.

No matter what you think of the relationship between Zach and James, the truth is that the relationship between the two is in a very bad position. The so-called cooperation is also in jeopardy because the two breed suspicion of each other.

Need a reminder? Zach began to wonder the true purpose of James, the son of a general from the West, who came to Patton. And James also began to realize the fact that every time Zach happened, he added an interracial accomplice to Grande, and these accomplices became more and more 'dangerous'. The status quo is not rosy.

These mean: Zach might need a new cop to replace, oh no, that's too categorical, for another one. Zach needed someone who worked similarly to James's to fill the void caused by his occasional feud with James.

Chapman. This policeman, who has been bound to the fallen angel Crowley, is completely out of Zack's consideration, so who else?

So, there is a laughable problem, James hates that Wes and Zach have any kind of contact! If this is a joke that James admits Zach's all-round charm, Zach can accept it comfortably and disdain to correct James's childish mistakes. However, if this has caused trouble to Zack's communicative behavior, Zach is reluctant to passively accept it.

The answer is out. So, Zach made this arrangement. If a Jason, who once crossed paths with Wes, had weird mutual trust, and were both single, could shut James up, then why not deserve to be together.

As for what can be matched by a game night, it depends on fate. After all, Dungeons & Dragons. It's a teamwork game. Zach's calculations are good.

Arriving at Liszt's back alley, Jason stood uneasily at the door of the coffee shop, watching Zach walk directly to a short staircase behind the coffee shop and beckon to him.

Jason inkblot walked over, "Zack, Zack." What are we doing here......" He looked very strange.

"Didn't I tell you, game night? Tonight we just need to relax and have fun. Zach laughed and went up the stairs first, into the dark alley. At the end, the lift platform in the lift passage stops on the top floor, James's house.

Look at Jason not moving. Zacra walked past the young man, "Doesn't your job include satisfying your customers?" Zach tilted his head and looked at Jason, "Or do you like to go to Becky's kind of place?"

Jason frowned, still not moving, "What kind of place is this, and who lives here?"

Zach curled the corners of his mouth, "Ah, who did you see going up?"

"Wes. Jason replied uncomfortably, "I saw Wesdy bring two bottles of beer up." "Remember, Jason couldn't beat Wes at all, and he was beaten up in a nightclub.

"Oh!" Zach said, looking up, "It's a reminder that I should order pizza." After saying that, he went straight out of the alley and really went to buy pizza across the street, leaving Jason, who was completely at a loss, in a daze at the entrance of the alley.

When Zach came back with a stack of pizzas, he shoved it directly into Jason's hand, "Let's go." ”

"I, I don't want to go up!" shouted Jason, who had his head baring out of the pizza box.

"That's not going to work. Zach ignored and continued, "The food is all in your hands, and if you leave with the food, I'll report you to your boss, Bob." ”

Reason with the vampire, hehe, poor Jason.

Standing in front of the iron gate of James's house, Zach rang the doorbell.

With a bang, the door opened, "Zack, come in, I'm waiting for you!" It was Fitz who opened the door, obviously, knowing that Zack would come, James wouldn't come to open the door for Zack!

"I brought a friend. Zach pushed Jason forward, "He brought food." ”

"Perfect timing!" Fitz didn't even look at who was coming, "now we have two support characters!"

"Two?" Zach asked knowingly.

"yes! James has a friend, too!" Fitz looked excited, and his voice was lowered, "It's a cop too!" "I have to admit that it's cool to be friends with a cop!"

Zach had already seen Wes, with a pointed hat and robe, holding a can of beer, and raising his hand at Zach with a kind smile.

Zach took the pizza box that Jason deliberately raised and forcibly took it away despite Jason's resistance, "Fitz, take him to prepare, his name is Jason." "I went to the bar.

The atmosphere froze for a moment.

First of all, James, while seeing Jason's face, Ben couldn't suppress the emotions he was trying to suppress, and stared viciously at Zack, who seemed to be in his own home, and began to look for the plate and put the pizza!

Of course James recognized this guy who was in room 105 at the time!

Then there was Wes, whose shoulders were visibly twitching, and the canned beer bottle in his hand was slowly deforming. Remember Wes's behavior in a nightclub, he was the worst kind of person of his kind? The self-hidden, aggressive kind.

Jason wanted to run. Unfortunately, Fitz, who didn't know anything, had already closed the iron door, and pulled Jason into the living room, his mouth was excitedly introduced, "Have you played it before? What class do you like? Warrior? Magic? Archer? How about you two in a team......"

This game night must be very interesting, hehe, let's pass it - the dungeon exploration has been fought for several hours, with disagreements, betrayals, and cannibalism, and finally ended with the destruction of all the players.

Zack's 'abacus' shattered. The otaku also left in the night with sad regrets.

But Zachary was at the end, sitting on a couch as hard as a brick in James. With a smile, he looked at Wes, who was chewing cold pizza, and then at Jason, who was bowing his head and overflowing with anger, "You two should sum up your experience, as teammates, how can you ...... each other" Zach was talking about things in the game, trying to save the 'abacus' that was already fragmented.

James interrupts Zach as he picks up the trash left after the game. "You're not leaving!"

"Oh?" Zach immediately turned his attention away from the two men and looked at James. Didn't mean to help James clean up, "You want me to go, I thought you'd want me to talk." ”

"I don't have anything to say to you!" This morning, having just been forced to obey Zach's arrangement of events at Sharp Manor, James's resentment has not subsided.

"yes, I thought you'd wonder how I got here with Jason. "Zach is throwing an olive branch. See if James can pick it up.

There was disgust in James's eyes, "Not curious!"

Zach was a little disappointed, waved his hand, and said, "I got a new commission." Herman's brother, have you heard of it? ”

Jason looked at Zach suspiciously. Zach ignored it.

"I've heard of the middle class who are not famous. Zach said the commission, and James had to force himself to pay attention, but he still looked at Zack gloomily, "What does this have to do with this former Fight Club dangerous element (Jason)!"

Jason frowned, the fight club case was 'successfully' solved because of Zack's participation, and they were club members who took the initiative to cooperate with the police, although they were not punished severely, but they still left some small crimes, such as public fights, destruction of public facilities and other small things. Dangerous?

"James, you're so rude. Zach chuckled, "He's what allowed Wes to infiltrate, and he's also the witness who later cooperated with you in your investigation of the Cleanup Club, so show some respect." ”

This time James didn't give Zach any malicious expression, but looked at Wes with a frown when Zack mentioned Wes. Remember, as Wes, the helper secretly sent by the Southern Police Department to cooperate with the Northern District operation, his action report does not exist in the official record.

So there was no written report on the content of Wes's action. James guessed, but he also knew Esves's character and would never take the initiative to say it. Zach suddenly mentions that James cares more about his friends than he hates Zach......

Wes just flicked his ass, expressionless. Jason, on the other hand, bowed his head and did not move.

Zach observed the reactions of these people, oh yes, don't wonder if Zach knew the details of the situation, of course he knew! Wes at that time was the shapeshifter Kim and Kim, Kim, at that time it was still a great Dane loyal to Grande. However, Zach was completely unaware of the situation on James's side at that time, which led to a series of events for Herman later.

"Don't talk about that. "Zach waved his hand, the 'abacus' had been shattered to remind James, but it wouldn't be too much of a failure to remind James of Wes's relationship with Jason," continued Herman's younger brother, Boone Herman. ”

Zach patted Jason, preparing for what he was going to say next, "Today, he came to commission something related to your insurance company. ”

Jason looked up, surprised.

"I'm sorry. Zach tilted his head, "Grande doesn't need insurance, I'm just looking for a reason to contact your company." ”

"You ......" Jason didn't know what expression to use.

Boone said his workshop was suddenly hit by a fire. Ignoring Jason's entanglement, Zach continued, "Your insurance company believes that he deliberately set fire to the insurance fraud. But Boone insisted that he didn't ......"

James interrupted Zach again, although he had only listened to the beginning, but it seemed that he had already made a judgment that it had nothing to do with the alien race, that is, it was not James's concern for him, "You Grande things, don't talk about it in my house!"

"James, you should be patient. "Zach ignored James," Boone said, referring to the fact that he called the police twice and ignored them by the police. The current situation is that there is no justice of the police on-site investigation, which has become his one-sided statement, against the decision of the insurance company. ”

Zach raised an eyebrow, "He said it more seriously, saying that it has something to do with the reputation of 'Herman'. Zach chuckled, "Now the real Herman is ...... Hehe, you all know that. So that's probably true. So, James, are you going to defend your police department, the reason why the North Police Department didn't even bother with Herman's call?"

James's face turned ugly and he opened his mouth, and finally held back a sentence, "How do I know! I'm dealing with your Sharp Manor!"

"You're not dealing with Bishop Manor, it's me, you're involved in an incident you shouldn't have entered, and I'm saving you once again. Hmph, moreover, that's not a reason at all. Zach responded directly, "The fact is that now, Boone Herman has no justice for the police to investigate the cause of the accident, and has to come to the owner of my funeral home to solve the problem." ”

Do you hear what Zach meant, he, Grande's vampire, not only has to clean up the aftermath of James, but also clean up the mess that James has neglected at the police station!

In the rhythm that Zach was about to drive James to death, Jason came to the rescue, "Wait a minute. You mean Boone Herrmann, the trophy company fire?"

"Yes. Zach turned his attention away from James, who was on the brink of the explosion, and looked at Jason, "You know about this case?"

"Uh......" Jason frowned, looking at Zach's eyes a little flickering, "I work there, of course I know." Did you take his commission? What does he want?"

Zach shrugged, "I said, he insisted that it was an accident, there was no insurance fraud, and he wanted to overturn your insurance company's ruling." ”

"Uh......" Jason's face was ugly, "I thought, Zack, Zach, you should turn down the commission." It's impossible......" He suddenly shut up, glanced at Zack's eyes with some fear, and immediately bounced away, "unless you use some of your abilities to ......"

Zach smiled, "That's how it was planned. ”

James's cheeks twitched, and before he could speak, Zach raised his hand and continued to ignore James, "But I didn't expect you to show up, after all, acquaintance, I appreciate your honesty and cooperation in the later stages of the club incident, so, changed my mind." Zach curled the corners of his mouth, "Try to keep it to an artificial range." ”

Jason smiled reluctantly, still not daring to look into Zack's eyes, "You still, it's better to push it off." Well, the fire in his workshop, too, too ridiculous, no, impossible ......"

"You say ridiculous fires. Wes threw away his pizza, rubbing his hands against the scraps of food on his fingers, and suddenly joined the conversation with a blank face, "Is it the absurdity of a stranger who suddenly spontaneously combusted and then burned down a building around him?" ”

Jason looked at Wes with a complicated expression, "How do you know?"

"I'm a police officer. One of Wes's muscles twitched at the moment, as if he was going to pick up and punch someone in the next moment. His tone was vicious, as the person speaking was Jason, "Of course I do. ”

Zach raised an eyebrow, Wes is a police officer on the South Side, so there is such a ridiculous accident in the South Side? Oh, this is not the time to think about this, but to watch, watch James.

James's face was very ugly, as if at this time, he was the only person here who did not know that Barton had a ridiculous fire. But he's a police detective in the North District!(To be continued......
