There were only two sentences on the phone with Mayor Anthony, but it did repeat three back and forth, and it was like this-

Zach: "We need to talk about Ian. ”

The mayor munched on a crunchy and nutritious lunch, hoping that everyone would remember the mayor's special lunch of broccoli to satisfy the vase secretary of the vase, Gina. While replying, "What to talk about." ”

"We need to talk about Ian. ”

......

Three times.

Then the phone hung up.

About twenty minutes later, Zach received a call with a polite smile, "Hello, is this Mr. Grande?"

Zach raised his eyebrows, he could hear it, it was Gina, the mayor's secretary, and the button wanted to be unbuttoned by Gina, "Yes." ”

"Sorry to interrupt, the mayor is meeting with valuable guests right now, and your appointment needs to be postponed, can you see two o'clock in the afternoon?"

Zach tugged at the corners of his mouth and shook his head. Zach didn't think Anthony was hosting any guests with a crunchy lunch, and he hadn't made any reservations himself.

But Zach also used a polite smile, "It's okay. ”

Zach shook his glass, watching the red plane faintly reflect the faint reflection. Zach is practicing a new skill, and as Torredo, who has the most balanced power among vampires, Zach doesn't want to lag behind Gangero, "By the way, can you remind me where my appointment is?" ”

"Oh, it's okay, I'll show you. "Uh, well, it's the 'old place,' uh." Is this it?"

The flickering reflection in the glass twisted and vanished, and Zach frowned and asked in a confirmation manner, "Is the mayor's agenda a 'old place'?"

"Yes...... Be. The voice in the earpiece became a little anxious, "Ugh. I, En...... Why don't I ask the mayor for you, what does the 'old place' mean......" The secretary, who had been treated as a vase, suddenly shut up, well, she was still a little conscious, and she began to try her best to hide it, "Well, the mayor and county magistrate are receiving guests, so you can't disturb them...... I, let me help you see the appointments you made. It should mean the same place. ”

Then, Zach heard a rapid page turning sound in the earpiece, and the very low murmur of this Gina, "Grande, Grande, Grande's appointment, no, no! I've never had a Grand appointment!"

Actually, there is, but Zach visited the city government directly. was deliberately instructed by Mayor Anthony that the vase was greater than the talent of the secretary, not to be on the agenda.

That's why Zach needs to be confirmed, 'Grande' is now recorded on Anthony's agenda, and the secret friendship that has always been on the table is put on the table. Zach didn't know what Anthony was thinking.

There is no need to embarrass this secretary. Zach smiled politely, "Thanks, no need, I know what the place is." When the mayor has finished meeting with the guests, please let me know. I'll be on time. ”

"Oh, oh! ”

Hanging up the phone, Zach looked at the time, it was not yet one o'clock, and listened to the lunch process in the backyard again, it was already the end, only the old Hank was still urging Alice to continue to replenish the food, and the people of the Comic Con team had already made the final preparations.

Saying goodbye was still needed, and Zach stepped out of Grande and stood on the back porch. Since Fitz had prepared too many props, half of the bus was crammed and there was no room for luggage, and Benjamin was tying his luggage and that of Matthew and James to the roof of the car.

"What a cool car. Zach was talking about the bus, his eyes scanning the stuffed props inside, "Looks like you're going to have a great week ahead." Zach said to the crowd with a smile.

In fact, it's not just a week, today and Friday, the next two days off plus a new five-day working day, plus two days off, and next Monday, they will come back.

"Of course!" Fitz was pleased to see Zach take time out of his 'busy' work to even attend lunch, and then his face turned sad, "Zach, it's a shame you can't go, I promise, I'll bring you souvenirs!"

"Then please. Zach smiled, "Have fun." Zach's gaze swept over Benjamin and James, a little helpless.

"Ahh

Good idea, so that you can contrast with the many, many photos of Comic-Con in the future, where Zach is absent. Remind Zach all the time that he was missing something for his work and for Grande's renovation.

Such a good idea, how could Zach refuse. deliberately went back to the office and brought a glass of wine, "Since it's a group photo, you all have your own roles, and I should have one too." Well, I'll just be myself, I think, even at noon, the wine glass that doesn't leave my hand can best define my role. ”

Is there anyone against it?

A group of strangely dressed adults, set against the backdrop of a brightly colored bus, and a well-dressed Zach with a wine glass and a red smile on his lips.

"One, two......" Alice looked at the camera, the vampire's image was completely clear, click! flash lit up in her hand, "Alright." ”

With a soft sound, a square photo is pushed out from the bottom of the camera.

Before anyone had time to look at it, the photo was snatched by Benjamin, who pressed one hand into Zack's arms, impatiently urging a group of curious people, "Okay, on the road, get in the car, go!"

Alpha, who had the S logo on his chest, spoke, and everyone rushed into the car excitedly, and after a while, he left Zack, who was holding a photo in the backyard, and left.

Zach tugged at the corners of his mouth and looked at the photo in his hand, as if the surface covered by fog was gradually becoming clearer, the picture was clear, but the content was not clear.

Zach felt the light around him getting dimmer, and it was the human head blocking the light. Zach looked helplessly at the members of the Grande who were coming around, and even the necromantic Dylan.

Zach spread out the photo as he wished, pointing to the corners, and he could only distinguish himself from the serious outfit, "If I knew I was going to fit into such a small space, I would have taken it easy and made a silhouette." ”

Louise smiled, tilted her head, and looked at Zach in the corner.

There are more than a dozen people in the palm-sized photo, which is really small, and Alice has no level of focus at all - Sister Grande only cares about whether Zach shows it or not, where does it care about the focus! No one in the photo has a clear face!

"Very good. Louise's slender fingers swiped over Zack's position in the photo, looking at Zach with a special look, "At least you can see yourself." ”

Remember, Zach explains to Louise the 'can and can't' of being a vampire, and one of the lines is, 'You can look like you are forever, but you can never see what you look like.' ’

Now, this sentence is no longer valid.

Grande's crowd failed to continue looking at the picture, and Zach was summoned back to the office by the phone ringing.

Pick up the earpiece, it's Wes.

"Teddy suddenly appeared at my door, seemingly asleep. ”

Zach's eyebrows immediately lowered, and his eyes were red, because Wes's next sentence was-

"Teddy had a note in his hand, in the words of Ian, 'Nice picture!' When will you pass on your newfound surname to Ian, don't be biased!'" (To be continued......)
