Chapter 12: True
Back at the Grand House, the van goes straight to the backyard. The vampire looked at the scene in the backyard and raised an eyebrow, and went back to the office first.
The afternoon trip was interrupted because I didn't think of a teenager moving, and it didn't take long at Madison's, so it was still some distance away from the evening party. Zach returned to his office, grabbed a wine bottle, and headed to the backyard.
The vampire was very considerate and gave up the office. If Daniel the Phantom needs to call someone, no one will bother.
"What's the situation?" Zach moved his chair to face the backyard, looking at Lola, who was loudly directing Matthew to run back and forth, but it was Benjamin who asked.
Benjamin put one leg on the outside of the hammock, pushed back and forth, and explained with a smile, "Lola is teaching Matthew rugby." ”
"Run!" Lola yelled at Matthew, "Don't be like a girl!"
Matthew's vest was already soaked with sweat, and he was holding a ball tied up with a ball of hay in front of him, and ran in the direction of Lola's finger. Even the ground was marked with dots that didn't know if it was lime or something to help Matthew remember the location.
"Is it here?!" Matthew smashed the hayball on a white dot and raised his hands with his chest heaving, "Did I touch the ground and score?!"
"Wrong!" Lola waved her hand, looking angry, "It's here!"
Matthew quickly picked up the ball that had rolled off one side and sprinted to another point.
The two are good at playing.
"Score!" Matthew smashed the ball into the white spot again.
Lola lowered her head and looked dejected, "Matthew, you remind me of my brother's position. ”
Matthew put down his hands, gasping heavily, and casually pulled up his vest to wipe the sweat off his face, "That's a good thing, right? You said your brother is very good, right?
Lola rolled her eyes, Matthew, the one who came later, didn't know what was going on, "Right wing outfield." ”
"Where?" the sunlight refracted in beads of sweat on Matthew's shoulders, and the young man, who had not graduated from high school, searched in confusion among the white spots in the backyard.
Lola waved helplessly to circle an area.
Matthew honestly ran over, "Then I'm the right wing outfielder." He arched himself and assumed a ready-to-move pose, looked at Lola expectantly, and asked, "What am I going to do?
Lola's face didn't know whether it was a smile or a distress, piled up. Finally the girl gave up, "Don't teach, Alice, let's not bask in the sun! Let's go in!"
Leaving a bewildered Matthew, he was having fun! Although it was a little cruel, Matthew's family did not allow him to have any extracurricular activities when he was a student, including sports. His robust body comes from work, not 'games'.
Matthew looked at Benjamin in confusion, and he could feel that it was the topic of 'brother' that affected Lola's mood. Benjamin smiled and waved his hand, "Go take a shower and I'll tell you." ”
The wolf cub obediently walked to the west side of the warehouse.
Zach watched the activity in the courtyard dissipate, and turned his chair to face Benjamin. The bottle had been raised to level, Benjamin chuckled and shook his head, "Don't pour it now, I have the spices that Sibella gave, forgot about it." ”
Usually, for the two days of the diet, the vampire will start stocking up on some 'food' in advance, filling himself up before the alpha's senses are strong enough to surpass the vampire.
Zach shook his head and put down the bottle, "You'd better not use that thing." ”
In the notes left by Sibella, they had found spices that matched the description, the ratio of materials and the method of making zuò were already known, and as for the effect, Sibella only vaguely wrote a few words, 'stimulate the soul'.
No matter how you look at it, the word 'stimulus' is used, which doesn't seem like a good thing. Thinking back to the scene of Sibella's own use, she was overdrawing herself to perform witchcraft. So, instinctively, Zach didn't want Benjamin to rely on this thing.
Benjamin didn't care about pouting, but as he had thought, there was no need for Sbella to hurt him.
Zach frowned, Benjamin didn't think it mattered, then it was a little ridiculous that he was abusing himself by breaking the eating rules. Zach pursed his lips, put the bottle aside, and began to talk about the afternoon.
Benjamin listened to the James case and had the same attitude as Zach. The perpetrator was so targeted, Grande really didn't need to be involved. It's not the same as it used to be, and it's not just Anthony and Grande who need to maintain the city of Barton, but also Crowley and James. It is ideal for everyone to be able to divide the work unrelated to each other.
It's just that the identity of the other party is really a little curious. 'Hellfire' (Judgment Fire) has shown that the other party is from the same belief system as Crowley and Zach. Judging from the words on the news revealed by James, it should be from an alien race in the opposite direction from Crowley, but it is not possible to determine which category it belongs to.
Then two things, Benjamin just shrugged his shoulders and said he didn't have an opinion. One involves Daniel privacy, if the phantom has privacy at all. There's also a real job involving the Grande House, and Benjamin is just a guy who digs tombstones with his paws, and he doesn't want to worry about all that troublesome stuff.
Matthew rinsed, changed into a clean vest, and sat down in front of Benjamin. Zach sat and listened, passing the time, and he noticed that Benjamin had made an interesting point.
"Even if Kyle's actions would send him to hell and endless punishment. But this punishment is not real for everyone. Because his punishment no longer exists in this world, whether it is atonement or repentance, it has nothing to do with this world, and the mark he retains in this world will only be a real and corrupting 'evil'. So what we do is give him a chance to be punished for real. ”
The young wolf doesn't need to understand Alpha's words, he just writes it down.
The Barton family car came to pick up Lola, and it was just in time for Alice to 'date' Cook. At the last party, Zach was obviously the one who arrived late, and this time Zach was accordingly early, following Barton's car and driving to the North End.
Route 27 ends at Becky Street, where it joins the Truck Yard and then heads northwest on Belty Street to Massa Port. This traffic skeleton was laid down by the founders of the city of Barton and is still preserved today.
But perhaps it is this close transportation connection that has made Becky's development more and more distant from a positive image of the city.
I think you know what I mean.
Although it is not as exaggerated as the red light district, the mixed flow of people has given rise to countless bars and nightclubs...... Those shops that will put up a sign that says '6 p.m. to 9 a.m.', which is the exact opposite of people's routines.
Of course, the city government will not ignore this development, and the street east of Becky, near [Reipt High School], has been renovated and remodeled since the beginning of the year. In the Betch Zone, which originally presented the image of an upside-down comb, several teeth at the head of the comb are divided by upturned dirt and engineering trucks, separating the worlds of teenagers and adults.
As for the effect, I can't see it in the short term.
Zach turned at the intersection at the end of Route 27 and headed for Bobo Bar.
The old urban planning has made it impossible to have a parking lot like Liszt Street, and all kinds of vehicles are parked on the side of the road. Zach parked his car on a random street corner, and then found a small cart selling hot dogs for a lot of change, and then walked to the bar.
Like a warm-up, the people in the 'gentleman' bar are still very reserved at this time, just like in a normal bar, chatting with friends, sipping beer, chewing bread, peeling nut shells. When the sky outside the bar is completely replaced by neon colors, the dancers they are waiting for, who can give the one-dollar bills that have been prepared for a long time, will appear.
Zach smiled directly at the people guarding the stairs and went upstairs.
The scale of [Bobo Bar] is not large, and the space on the second floor is only the size of a private room. There is no partition wall of a general box, and the open upstairs is it. Stand up from the couch and see the view downstairs after the Gentlemen's Night has really begun.
Zach thought that maybe it was because of the small size that they chose to choose here, the only open box meant complete independence and security. You know, it's too embarrassing for a group of them to discuss something that would be awkward if they encountered a wall with ears. It's clear what's around here, unless someone is tied under their feet.
No, they had arrived, and a group of people were eating and chatting. Like most bars, Bobo Bar offers simple food, bread and fries. Zach sat down with a smile, greeted a few people, and casually picked up the peanuts in the basket.
"It's early today!" Nou smiled and looked at Zack.
Zach nodded, looked at the eyes of the people around him, seemed to realize something, and said with a smile, "I didn't bother anything." ”
"Of course not!" Noe laughed and bumped Zack with his elbow, he was holding fries with an unknown sauce in his hand, so he didn't touch Zack directly. Then Nuo looked at the other people, "It's all you, you look sneaky, it's suspicious!"
Several people smiled awkwardly.
Nuo explained nonchalantly, "It's nothing, it's just that it's hard for us to get together in normal times, so it's only this time." Some sensitive information is not suitable for saying when there are many people, so take advantage of the now. ”
No's eyes gestured outward.
Zach understood, it was the service staff. Now the official event has not begun, and no waiter has come up to wait for orders. Zach thought about it and realized that this was a very strict group of people. Now that I think back to the last party, it was true that most of the things were told like gossip in front of the dancers, and no one revealed the really important information.
