16 Back porch

When he returned to Grande, Anthony was sitting lazily on a bench in the back porch, his shirt open, his crooked tie hanging around his neck, and a stack of things he didn't know what to do, teasing Kim.

Only the light in Old Hank's room on the second floor was still on, as if a restless, restless, and hesitant figure was walking back and forth in the dim light. It's curious what kind of conversation is going on inside.

Anthony saw two men walking in the dark, the shorter one, Caesar, who didn't seem to mean to speak. He took the vampire Zack and put his hand on his shoulder, walked to the parked car in the backyard, pulled the car door, and sat inside.

Anthony didn't mind much, still sitting on the back porch, with a chunk of food in his hand, and continued to feed the gold with a look on his face forever.

Zach smiled and sat down next to Anthony.

"When I came. "Anthony was the first to speak," he said, hearing the siren and heading south. ”

Zach lifted one shoulder, "Little guy needs to vent." He curled the corners of his mouth, "It's a little loud." ”

Anthony didn't respond, quickly changing the subject, "The wind is back, you know." ”

Zach smiled and nodded, "I'm glad they're back." ”

"Hmph. Anthony snorted, unable to say anything, "I recruited a few people, and I don't know what was discussed." Anthony raised an eyebrow, "I didn't want those people back, they came back to me again." ”

Zach knew that now Anthony was talking about the Indoman rally. Zach already knew that Anthony had already taken some of the former Sbella and kept them under his hands. When Sbella returned, she called a rally, and Steve Walker fed Grande the news, intentionally or unintentionally, so Grande knew what Sbella was going to do when Sbella didn't come back.

But looking at Sbella's actions, it seems that she has no intention of hiding it.

In the afternoon, when Zach takes Derek to know Grande. Derek said that he had met a very enthusiastic Indian woman, and when he returned from his trip, he gave him a windmill and a place to live, and recruited a bunch of people to help him inquire about Grande, and casually mentioned Steve Walker, who gave him Grande's business card.

Sbella didn't care that Grande knew about her gathering of the Inns as soon as she returned. Zach, in turn, doesn't care, and Sbella returns. Patton's alien race now has a hub for the flow of information, and Harrison's tragedy due to Grande's negligence will not happen again. In addition, staying at Barton, because there is no Alpha to ensure safety, the hunters who deliberately got a 'firefly' to be hostages, and there are also people who can bind them, this qiΔ“ is a good thing.

Oh yes. Fireflies are a wizard family, and if you want to trace their roots, Firefly's surname is Papa Midnight's sister, a branch of the first descendant of the Banshee.

The only downside may be Zac Toredo's identity, which has nothing to hide from the hunters. Zach could only hope that Sbella would be kind enough to tell everyone about Ian's existence as well. Overall, it's all good.

"You're half an Indian, too. Zach smiled and waved his hand indifferently. "Nothing to worry about. ”

"Yes. Anthony groaned and looked at Zach. "You didn't even ask me what they said at the rally. Anthony's eyes were a little puzzled, "It seems that you are really glad that Sbella is back." ”

"Of course. Zach laughed, "Before, I was worried about what to do with the fireflies that suddenly came to Barton. Now that there is Sibella in the middle, I believe that Alice will not be put in too difficult a situation. ”

If it's too foreign-oriented, there's no need to worry about the mayor. Zach gave a very family-like reason.

Anthony thought for a moment and nodded, "The hunters in the middle have left now, and the people sent by Crowley have also left. Anthony pursed the corners of his lips and snorted. "Crowley informed me, and I informed you. ”

Zach smiled, 'Notice', is this fallen angel trying to get the medal of 'Most Enthusiastic Citizen'? However, Zach remembered that he hadn't seen the fallen angel in a while, and he didn't know how her new container was running-in.

Now that I think about it, that Robert is quite pitiful, how safe he thinks he is to leave Barton? Unfortunately, he has turned himself into an enemy of everyone, and believes that the demon who has made Barton will pay attention to this guy's whereabouts in addition to assisting the hunters.

"Anthony. Zach suddenly touched his chin and asked hesitantly, "The hunter is gone, right?" ”

Anthony looked at Zach with some confusion and nodded, "Yes." ”

"The hunter is gone, Sbella is back, and Barton is supposed to be calming down. Zach summed up inexplicably.

Anthony snorted, "What do you want to say?" Calm is not counted, now all kinds of aliens in Barton are mixed hunters, aliens, demons, saints, Toredo, Gangaro, and then cross-combined. There is really no friendship between each other, and they all rely on agreements to suppress each other to achieve temporary harmony, and there is a ghost of peace.

There is also the problem of Anthony's own mayor, aside from the alien race, the human side has also begun to fight, and the city, I'm afraid, will never be calm.

Zach ignored Anthony's urging and thought for a moment, "Forget it, let's see later." "Any idea what Zach is hesitating about?

The vampire had thought that the agreement between Crowley and the Hunter had been officially completed, and that the issue of 'Colt' could be discussed. But when you think about it, the hunters haven't gone far, and it would be hilarious to turn back...... At the very least, at least wait until the hunters actually use 'Colt' and see how it works.

Anthony glared at Zach for a long time, shook his head, waved his hand, and didn't bother to ask.

Anthony bent down and put the saucer in his hand in front of Kim, adjusted his posture, pulled the corners of his mouth, and raised his fingers up, "The people above, what are you going to do." ”

The strange question could only have been about Derek Grande.

Zach squinted his eyes and looked sideways at Anthony, who was expressionless, "You're paying attention to us, I'm very touched." ”。

"Concern?" Anthony tugged at the corners of his mouth, "I don't care what kind of guest you usually have in your house." Anthony shook his head and glanced at Zack, "Huh." James knows, what else do you want. The rest, you guess. ”

Zach raised an eyebrow and shook his head helplessly, nothing surprising.

"Does James want you to look at us and stop doing anything illegal?" Zach paused, a smile on his face, and shook his head and laughed. James really 'makes the most of' his relationship with Grande - trusting and distrusting all the time to keep the vampire character in question.

James is probably worried that Grande will have evil thoughts and let Drake Grande disappear from the world, so as to preserve Grande's rightful identity as Zachary Grande and Benjamin Grande.

Anthony shrugged his shoulders expressionlessly, "I'm too lazy to ask, but now that I'm here anyway, I'll ask." ”

"Oh, my friend. Zach put on a look of grievance, "Sue me, you don't think we're going to do something stupid, do you?"

Anthony snorted, "I'm not as naΓ―ve as James, but if it were me, there wouldn't be a 'good' way to deal with it." Anthony looked at Zach and gave a look that only they could understand, which roughly meant, 'I'm sorry. ’

Why 'sorry'?

Anthony didn't seem to want to continue the topic in a gloomy direction, and corrected his question, "What are you guys prepared for, about this real Grande?"

Zach put away the meaningless performance and thought about it seriously, "This is not what we are going to prepare. Zach smiled, "Benjamin and I already have a consensus that this is not something we should think about. Zach lifted his finger and pointed upward, "Old Hank is the one who should be judged." ”

The vampire was silent for a moment, "Whatever Hank decides, we'll cooperate." ”

Anthony frowned, thought for a moment, took a deep breath, and nodded, "It's okay." ”

Anthony straightened his clothes and stood up, "That's it, let's go." ”

Zach also stood up and watched Anthony walk down the back porch, suddenly remembering something and calling out to him, "Anthony." A smile appeared on Zach's face, "Don't be too Caesar, he's a nice boy." ”

Anthony frowned, seeming a little impatient with Zach's reminder, "It's not my job. Stern and righteous people do it, and I don't need it. ”

Zach kept smiling, and for some reason, he thought of the young man sitting in front of the tombstone before, snapping his fingers at the gray tombstone in the night, 'It's like this, clean and neat. ’

The sound of the engine sounded in the backyard, and Zach watched Anthony leave, not knowing how these two people who legally bound the 'father and son' relationship after returning back would get things done.

Zach tilted his head to listen to the conversation still going on on on the second floor, as if it had reached the end of the first place.

Drake's voice trembled a little, "What is this?"

Old Hank's voice, "Obituary." It's almost four years ago. You're late, Derek, he's dead. ”

"It's late. Old Hank's voice repeated.

Just like one night, on a certain driveway in the Norr Beach villa area, the child curled up in the arms of a vampire, tugging at the vampire's collar and staring at the burning flames in the driveway with his eyes wide open.

The vampire seemed to sense something on the other's face with his lips closed, and took off the hand that ripped his collar, "It's too late." ”

"No!" Athera broke free from Alpha's arm, "It's not too late, you can dispose of the ......" (to be continued......)
