14 Dilemma
It was dark before James woke up, and judging by the sheen of his skin, he was resting very well. But in reality, this is not a good thing, and James's biological clock must be completely broken.
"It's just right, dinner is ready~" Louise, who was watching TV in the entertainment room, saw James standing at the door, "Go ahead, Alice made dinner, you'll like it~"
"Where's Zach?" James rubbed his eyes, "Dinner?"
"Living area. Louise also answered the second question, "Sixteen hours." You need something to eat~"
James went downstairs, just came out of the back porch and returned into the dining room, nodded to the two girls, then took the plate that had been prepared for him, and went out again, and went straight to the living quarters.
Before he even entered the living quarters, James could already hear the noise inside. James was going to go in directly to see what was going on, but he didn't know what kind of logic was going on in his brain, so he stood in front of the stairs on the front porch of the living quarters, stared at the empty bowl placed on the side of the stairs, and called softly, "Libbock?"
A glimmer of light flickered on the stairs, "It's Raiboken." Impatient, "Are you here to give me goat's milk?" ”
James glanced at the cup on his plate, "I'll give you this, can you tell me what's going on inside?"
"Is this a new game?" the glimmer flickered, as if intrigued.
"Uh, yes. ”
"Good!" Glimmer jumped, "what do you want to know!"
"What's going on inside. ”
"Hah! I hid the construction team's tools on the roof! Now, give me goat's milk!"
"Uh......" James looked up, making sure Zach was no longer on the roof, he could hear Zach's voice in the common area on the first floor, "Not this, I wonder why Zach is inside." ”
"It's not in the rules of the game!!!
"Yes, I just forgot to say it. James stared at the flickering glimmer of light, wary? "You tell why Zach is in the living quarters, I'll give you milk, that's the new game. ”
"Your new game, it's not fun!" Glimmer crashed into James's arms, and before James could react, he could clearly see his wallet fly out of his arms, out of gravity, upward, and then, with a click, "Now your wallet is on the roof!!"
James's face twitched for a moment, and he stepped up the front porch and into the living quarters.
Why did James do this?
The public space on the first floor was full of people and some groceries, and among the Grande employees who were moving things back and forth, Old Hank was arguing fiercely about something with Zack.
Although James had just come in and saw Zach's gaze, James chose not to come closer, and stood outside the common area eating dinner while watching what was happening.
Zach interrupted Old Hank's excitement, "Finally, I won't be responsible for the mistakes of your men. It's not my obligation. ”
Old Hank glared at Zack, "We're not talking about obligations now, are we?!I need you, I need you......" Old Hank also saw James, no matter what he was going to say, he forcibly held back, and vented his anger on the employees around him, "What are you doing since just now?!"
"We're not going to stay in the same room with Evan anymore!" someone replied.
"If you want to change rooms, you have to register! You can't just move out! Your bail officer wants to know your accommodation!"
"Then let's register!
While Old Hank looked irritated, Zach turned his head, "Your job is not mine." ”
Old Hank walked away gloomily, it was time to register for a new employee accommodation.
Zach walked over to James and smiled, "Are you awake?"
James didn't want to answer Zach's concern, it was too typical to say much. James gestured to glance at the old Hank's staff, "What's going on here?"
Zach also glanced back at Old Hank, visibly receiving a warning look. But probably because of this look, Zach smiled and walked towards the stairwell, "Keep up." "To James.
James followed.
Remember the stairwell in the living area, down to the laundry room, up to the second floor. Zach took James down first.
As James stuffed food into his mouth, he saw Evan tied to a row of washing machines. James didn't speak, and followed Zach up.
The public area on the second floor was also full of people, but it wasn't Grande's employees anymore - the leader was Austin, who immediately approached when he saw Zach coming up, "Mr. Grande, although we have a very pleasant cooperation, you are illegally detained! You can't lock us up here ......"
James listened to Austin yelling at Zach as he drank his milk...... Until Austin sees himself standing behind Zach.
Austin was stunned for a moment, then rushed to James in an instant, "You're the detective!! Lance Detective! I remember you! In the newspaper, in the news! You're here to save us!!"
James and Austin's expectant eyes met for a moment, then cooed, swallowed the food and drink in their mouths, and lowered their heads to continue dealing with dinner.
"Detective!Detective!!"
Zach was already ahead of the curve, moving on with James.
As a fully functional apartment complex, Grande's living quarters certainly have a safety exit, of course, at this time, it was blocked by an irritable Grande employee, and when he saw Zach coming, he couldn't wait to speak, "Did I hear the room being re-registered below? I don't want to be in the same room as Evan! I'm going to register!"
Zach shrugged his shoulders and made a casual motion. The employee didn't hesitate at all and rushed away.
James still hadn't said anything to settle dinner, knowing that Zach's tour wasn't over yet.
Sure enough, Zach led him into an apartment.
Bane was here, going back and forth in and out of the bedroom, seemingly cleaning up something.
James ate a little faster, for he had seen the blood stain on Bane's hand, and whatever was in that room was destined to affect his appetite.
"See for yourself. Zach didn't seem to be going in, and motioned for James to go himself.
James finished his dinner, observed Bane's face, and went inside.
"Detective Lance?" Drake's voice followed by helplessness, "We really should meet in a more normal situation......
"Who is he?" said James.
"The people of the construction team. ”
"How's he doing?"
"Oops, broken stomach, broken ribs, torn skin......" Derek said for a while, "he needs surgery." Or, you know. ”
James came out of the bedroom, looked at Zach, didn't speak, just a look, 'Why don't you do the 'you know' thing.'" ’
Zach didn't answer, and remained silent with a smile on his face.
James looked at Zach for a moment, then went back to the bedroom and spoke to Drake, "How did you get here?
Hank called. Derek's tone was sincere, "I really don't want to come, he said it was an emergency." I...... Ay. ”
James came out of the bedroom again, looked at Zach, and thinking that he didn't want to repeat the silence above, so this time he spoke, "Why didn't you prevent this from happening. ”
"I didn't know this was happening. Zach replied simply, "I'm outside, Mary's Chapel, if you're curious." ”
James was just about to go back to the bedroom when he remembered something, "What about Louise?"
"She's with me. ”
James frowned, "We'll talk about that later." "Back to the bedroom.
Derek's voice, "He needs to go to the hospital, now! I can't treat him here, I don't have any medicine, equipment, uh, I don't even have disinfectant, he's dying......"
James came out again, looking at Zach. First there was silence. It just so happened that we all understood the situation in front of us.
During the time that Zach and Louise were no longer in Grande, Evan attacked someone on the construction team. Then the elder Hank reacted, objectively speaking, quite the right reaction - restrained the assailant Evan, threw him in the laundry room, and detained the eyewitness construction team, on the second floor of the living quarters, and called the doctor Drake to evaluate the victim's injuries.
Now, we should be able to guess what Old Hank wanted to say to Zach before.
James spoke, "What does old Hank want?"
Zach shrugged, "Can't let this kind of thing ruin Grande's reputation, especially this halfway house project." He wanted me to take care of it. ”
James stared at Zach, "What kind of treatment?" ”
"Hehe, vampire way. Zach looked at James with a smile, "What do you think?
James, his face is starting to darken.
Can you understand the predicament that James discovered at this time?
First of all, we should praise James, at least all the way here, James kept his cool and followed Zach to observe.
Then, the 'reward' for staying calm is now a dilemma.
James knew that Zach could easily save a man who was dying, and then used Toredo's eyes to make the whole thing disappear. But at the same time, James, a police detective, has also witnessed and connived at the growth of a criminal organization in the embryonic form!
It's not alarmist, what did we just say about Hank Sr.'s reaction? yes, the right reaction. What old Hank wants to maintain, right, right?
And the real difficulty is not the choice between saving lives and this almost philosophical justice, but the Zach that James is seeing now.
"Why say no to old Hank!" James stared at Zach.
It's not James' turn to be involved, isn't it, and it's clear that we've been following James all the way for a while. Zach could have been dealt with before James woke up - as James had always questioned Zack's character, Zach could have chosen the vampire way to make it all go away and satisfy Old Hank's needs. But he didn't. For whatever reason, this vampire made James, who didn't need to know all this, fall into such a choice.
"Why should I say yes?" Zach asked rhetorically, taking it for granted, "This is not an incident made by an alien race. Zach shrugged his shoulders and said in a relaxed tone, "There are no 'puzzles' here that cannot be solved by society, there is no worldview that can be shattered, and there are no obstacles that cannot be understood under human common sense. It's just that a person who has made a mistake has made a mistake again. Here, I don't need to promise anything. Zach smiled, "I believe that humans have their own way of dealing with this situation. ”
James stepped in front of Zach in two steps, slapped Zach's face, and lowered his voice, "Don't tell me this! You've meddled in human affairs! And a lot! You've only deliberately created such a situation to make me uncomfortable because I'm here!!"
Zach took a step back, and James, who had just had dinner, said in a tone that was not very good, "You think too much, James, I'm not that idle." ”
James took a step forward after Zach, as if his forced gaze had some effect. Belch.
"Zach!" Derek came out of the bedroom, "he's going to die! Really! Can you two solve your problem in a moment? Now I'm telling you, one is really going to die!"
Zach was about to take another step back, but was caught by James, "Help!"
Zach frowned, "Are you sure?" "You know that once I save someone, the rest of the thing is going to be done." I'm not going to explain to a bunch of civilians how a seriously injured man heals so suddenly, I'm going to fulfill Old Hank's hopes in full. Detective Reims, is this what you want to happen?"
"No! but you're going to save people now!"
That's what James decided. Well, Zach brushed James aside from the hand he was holding, "Remember, this is what you asked for, not what I wanted." Zach walked into the bedroom.
At the same time as seeing the dying man, the sound of James going out can be heard. Leave James alone.
"You don't save strangers much, do you?" it was Darek, as Zach stabbed the dying man with his thimble finger.
Zach glanced at Darek, "You can say that. ”
Darek was momentarily nervous, "Uh, I'm not saying you're wrong or anything, uh, I mean everybody, just caring about the people they know,......"
Zach didn't respond, watching the dying man get farther and farther away from death, expressionless.
Now, let's tell you why Zach really rejected Old Hank. It's certainly not as boring as disgusting James, and it has nothing to do with justice. It's just that before being called to the living quarters by Old Hank, Zach asked Alice, "I never asked, but I just took it for granted that you would take over Grande and become the owner of Grande." I know you're angry at me for taking it for granted, and now, I'm seriously asking you, do you want to take over Grande?"
Alice replied, "This is the only place I can call home, of course I will take over Grande, but, not this Grande, I don't like Old Hank's Grande, I don't want my home to be what Old Hank envisioned." And ...... "important," Caesar thought, and I'm a little worried about what Ethra's plan was for Grande to take in the ex-criminals. ”
"Good. Zach replied, "Well, wake up James, be secret." ”
