James did come back, and that Zach said east, and James who had to go west, sat in Grande's office.

"Go on. "—This is Zach's 'instruction'.

No, partially.

James's eyes surveyed the office, "It's so quiet here. ”

Is James deaf and can't hear the noise in the living quarters, "Where have everyone else gone?" James' gaze fell to Zack.

Oh, this one. Zach shrugged his shoulders, "Matthew resigned, and Lola helped him find an apprenticeship job on the West End. Charlie was sent by me to the Feast to fill the void of the Feast Toredo. Ink and King are going to the Republic, don't ask, you can go back and slowly make up for what happened to Barton when we left. Alice and Maya, just a daily outing, Parker Elementary's nursery project. ”

That's pretty much it.

James listened, "You're alone. "As if summing up.

"I still have Louise. Zach didn't know what James was trying to say, but he didn't care much either. As long as James is James, flies will always fall on bad eggs.

"Why is Emilia here?" James asked again.

"Because Evan is sick, it's Grande's job to keep the physical and mental health of ex-offenders who have re-entered society. "Is this answer very official, what you want is this effect. Zach didn't want to elaborate on this.

But it was such an official answer that turned Zach into the bad egg - "None of your employees are physically and mentally healthy." James looked away, looking at the 'Zachary Grande' name tag on his desk.

There's nothing wrong with that, anyway, the conversation is back to Dell. Zach thought for a moment, "I did my best. As you know, I've done my best to answer all of Dale Walker's human-alien questions. Even if it was the first time I entered the west, I felt the magic feast. Zach's voice was calm because it was true, "Entering a new environment, learning the information around you, this state, I'm on the same starting line as Dale." So. Zach tilted his head, "I wouldn't say how perfect I was, but I did my best." If that's not enough, then, I'm sorry. Zach looked at James, "For Dale, for everything that's going on for you." ”

James's eyes were briefly out of focus because, "yes...... he ...... An indescribable sad expression on his face, "You did your best." "Yes, James knew that Zach was right, and he was involved in Zack's efforts all the way to the west, in Roy Tsmich's office.

But for James's reaction, including the look on his face, Zach was stunned for a moment, and then frowned, "Please don't cry." - James really looked like he was about to cry, the feeling of tears suddenly falling out of his eyes.

The inexplicable sadness on James's face disappeared, and he glanced at Zack, gloomy, "I didn't have to cry!" Very good, James is still James.

Zach frowned and let go, "Now are you willing to continue what Dale has finished talking about?" ”

James took a deep breath, "He said he wanted to go back here, not lying. ”

"I have no doubts. Zach raised his hand, "He's going to disappear completely, there's no reason to lie." ”

James glanced at Zack, looked away and continued, "We're almost to the east. Did Oz tell you? They blocked us in the city on the central border, and we ...... "James's gaze was out of focus again," we were all so close. ”

If, just if, Dale Walker can get a funeral, these regrets and feelings can be presented as the most beautiful speech at the funeral. But, there can be no funeral for him. The military, will make sure that, well, along with those 'collateral damages'.

Zach was the rational one who gave James cold facts, "No, you're still far away. How long did it take you and Wes to get back? day and night, continuous travel, train. Hehe. "Deliberately mocking," Dale can't take the train, he's basically a wanted fugitive, so~" Zach shook his head, "When you and Dale can really get back here." Zach pointed to himself, after all, this is what Dale said to be 'back,' isn't it, "At least a week." What will happen, will happen. ”

The corners of James's eyes twitched, and he regained his focus to stare at Zack, "Who made Dale a 'wanted man'?!" James's eyes and tone, is he blaming Zack?

Zach didn't take the accusation that would only insult James himself, "himself, the moment he kidnapped you." And don't forget, Dale wasn't a legal citizen in the first place. Zach used the calm of the facts, "I'm sure you've understood that Dale Walker's identity is fake, including his real profession - contract killer." Zach ended up with a salutation to remind James of his position, "James Lance, detective." ”

James knew where he standed, just—"I don't need you to remind me who I am!But in the face of aliens, Dale and I are human! We! are on the side! This time, I won't let you manipulate my brain! I will stand by my true position!!"

Uh, too typical. We should have predicted this scene, the dialogue between James and Zach always turned out like this, one side calmly explained the reason, and the other side exploded in annoyance. There is no salvation - because it must be admitted that both sides are right.

"Perfect. Zach clapped his hands, and given that James was standing up in excitement, Zach was going to stand up even if it was just to show respect. Stand up, "You hold your ground, 'Dale is a victim of an alien race', is that?" Zach opened his arms and embraced the world, "Now!" "Raise your voice, it must be like this, prepare for the following words, "Give you rights with the justice of this world, James Lance, come on, punish the murderer who makes the victim suffer." ”

There was silence in the office.

Zach waited a little impatiently, "Come on, handcuff me, punish me, sanction me." ”

After the sound of heavy compressed air, James sat back in his chair and looked away from Zach, "Sit down." ”

"Oh, don't sanction me?" It's not that Zach doesn't know what it means to take it when you see it, but, "Or am I accidentally manipulating your brain again?" I'm sorry, it must have been my inhuman evil nature that was careless...... Zach began to rock at James, "Wait, wait...... Wait for me to finish ......the work" and the words in my mouth, "manipulate and retract, manipulate and retract ......"

Curious why Zach loves acting so much-

"Can you stop!!" James glared at Zach, who was swaying his body.

Zach paused, looked at James blankly for a moment, finished sorting out his wrinkled clothes in the swing, and sat down, "Are you ready to talk?" ”

James replied with a twisted face. That's enough.

Zach gave James time to take a deep breath to adjust his mood, and by the way, he listened to Wes and Emilia on the other side of the living quarters, and the conversation continued. Anyway, some people are curious about what these two people are talking about, and it is highly recommended to skip it, but if you are really curious-

The reason for this is that when Wes stormed into Emilia's treatment scene, Evan was describing in detail how he was being forced by Bishop*. Don't ask me why, if Emilia, the doctor, says it's a good thing that it makes patients really know where their 'illness' is, we can only nod our heads.

Anyway, in the process, Wes broke in, and in an instant was offended by some of Evan's words, saying something that shouldn't have been said. As a result, Amilia's two days of treatment were in vain, and Evan looked at Wes with begging eyes, begging for *, for fulfillment, for fate, for being taken away, for going to hell......

Is there a feeling of eating flies, no, fly. The magic of curiosity.

Zach just knew that Wes and Emilia probably couldn't come over, just in time for James's deep breath adjustment.

"When you're in the West, Dale doesn't need hostages. James's voice was calm, and he did his best, "I'll be enough, and the phantom you sent kept his distance." Everything is fine. (Since I won't be telling the story of the phantom man later, explain why the phantom man kept his distance.) Accepting the commission is the only way for the Western Soul Alien to keep itself useful to the society in the West and not to be killed by vampires, which was mentioned in the Interracial Commissioned Price List. That's it. ）

Zach wanted to correct James, and the fact that he was kidnapped was not good enough, but think about it. It doesn't do James any good to have a continuous explosion.

"Once in the middle, the phantom man began to try,*!" foul mouthed, "save me." Dale noticed it. Then the hostage became necessary for me to stay with him honestly. ”

Zach really doesn't want to understand the whole process of Dale's kidnapping of James, the ending is already like this, isn't it, it makes no sense, "I know this, Oz told me, you and Dale have a distorted 'cooperation mode', you don't need to say it yourself......" Zach is still a mouthful, not to mention Stockholm......

But he was interrupted, "You need to know!" Well, no one could convince anyone, and it was a 'tacit understanding' between Zach and James, "Those hostages!

When he was still Dell, he did talk about how chaotic the Midtown was, and that in the process of running away, he paid a lot of attention to the local news and the police action...... Zach raised an eyebrow, he understood. Zach looked at James, "Those hostages that Dale is taking in the middle are human beings who have been under the influence of an alien race, and may become victims of the local news, or they may not be 'innocent' themselves. It's a good thing to be hijacked by Dell? You mean that?"

James didn't answer, but his face gave an affirmative, "Including his brother!" and stared at Zach as if it were something that pierced someone's heart.

And the truth is.

Dale's younger brother, except for living in the Moriati Manor, with the persistence left behind for generations, really, has nothing to do with the alien race. Until, a 'warm-hearted man' sent him a bunch of books about the truth about the manor, about vampires.

Zach tilted his head sideways, "I'm not going to apologize for this." "Why?" if Dale Walker doesn't go to his brother's, those, just books, old legends. And as the former residence of Toredo, the aliens in the central part of the country know that there are no vampires there for a long time, and that place is safer than the rest of the central region. It was Dale Walker who brought the real danger to his brother. ”

The corners of James's mouth twitched twice and continued, "I understand Dale Walker. I may not agree with him in my heart......" After all, James is still a police detective, "all his ways!

Zach shook his head, "You know what's stupider than you being kidnapped, it's that you still treat Dale as a victim." Be rational James, think about it, no one did anything to Dale, he created an abyss himself, jumped into it himself, and dragged you along. Now that he's gone, and you want to go down with him?" Zach's helplessness toward James had been evident countless times, "You really can't see it, is this a lesson? You have to verify it yourself?"

James also looked at Zack, "You understand Dale's last words, he's a fish?"

Zach was about to give up, after all, having said all this, it had been proven that James was very mentally healthy, wasn't he, what he was, and still is. At least for Wes, "I don't understand, and I don't want to." If you understand, then, all I can say is that I'm sorry. "Well, sorry, yes, that's a good word.

"I do understand, and I don't think it's a pity!" James stared at Zack, "The full metaphor is the fish and the fisherman!" James's gaze followed Zack's speechless away gaze, forcing Zach to listen to what he disdained to hear, "When the fisherman drags the fish out of the water and forces the fish to breathe the land air, the fish realizes that its despair is not that it accidentally swims into a fishing net buried in the water!!"

Zach frowned and looked at James, "Meaning?" This is the kind of thing that once you hear it, you feel that you need a conclusion, after all, this kind of metaphor appears, you don't have a value, you are just stating the facts, isn't it?

But, James seems to have put the value somewhere in this passage. So, he didn't answer Zach's question, "Do you know how Oz forced Dale to start executing hostages?" ”

Never mind. Here's what Zach wants to know, details about Operation Save James, "Don't know, please tell me." I still have a report to submit (to Darcy, to the Feast). ”

"He arranged for a fish that was already dying in the air on land to be held hostage!" James stared at Zach with a twisted look, "Mind Reader!

Zach frowned, "Oz, masterminded Dale's psyche?"

"Dale, cornered!" James was bound to finish all at once, "a man who had been driven to death by an alien race—a fisherman—a fish, died at Dale's hands! like a switch, suddenly, made Dale realize that we were all fish, and he began to care about everything, killing! We were all waiting for the net that rose from the bottom of the water—the fish of despair!Everything was meaningless! Because we were already living in despair! Finally, a moment of hope appeared, in that moment!" James raised his hand and snapped his fingers. Dale's brother, a human who has become obsessed with vampires, a man who has adapted to the world!

"Clever. "Zach, gave the evaluation.
