"Good afternoon. Louise stood in the doorway with her lunch and looked at James as he sat up from his bed.
"What time is it?" James's face was swollen and he hadn't slept well.
"Twelve. Louise replied, putting lunch on the bedside table, "Don't worry, you're off today." ”
"Who gave me leave?" asked James, but he threw away his half-worn clothes, took the lunch next to him, leaned against the bedside, and poured a large mouthful of hot milk first.
"Director Darcy. Louise patted James, who was nearly choking. It's not because James heard this answer, it's just that James's jar is too big, and he just reacted that the milk tastes a little, well, it's very ......
"What the hell!" said James, glaring at the only half cup of hot milk left.
"Goat's milk. Louise smiled, "Why, haven't you drunk it?"
"Sheep have milk??" looked at James's expression, it was a heartfelt question.
Louise opened her mouth, the corners of her mouth curled. simply don't hide it, "No, the sheep don't have it, only the cow has milk~"
James reacted for a moment before realizing that he was being ridiculed, and glanced at Louise, "Laugh." Then he poured the rest of the goat's milk from the cup in one gulp, "I like this, refill the cup." ”
"It's gone~" Louise shrugged, "Old Hank is already impatient for me to take away the necessary supplies from their living quarters, and I don't want to go again." ”
James held the empty cup and looked at Louise for a moment. Since Louise was not ready to take the initiative to explain, she could only twitch the corner of her eye, "Must-haves?"
Louise sat down next to James with an interested expression, "Raibken~" and blinked, "The Raibken you and Zach met on the way to the west is here~"
James was obviously not used to Louise's sudden closeness and stared at Louise slightly warily, "What are you doing!"
"Relax~~" Louise rolled her eyes, "I'm just curious~ Zach didn't talk much about your trip to the west, I can only get some bits and pieces from the blood exchange~ You tell me about it~"
James's face twitched, and he certainly knew what the blood exchange really meant. He really didn't want to continue the conversation with Louise, "What about Zach, ask him to go." ”
"He went out. Louise also realized that James didn't want to talk about it, so she didn't force it, "I'm going to find someone who can do things in the middle for you~Nophil, fallen angels, wizards~ and the like." ”
"Tsk. "Didn't he help me?" ”
Oh yes, this is four o'clock in the morning, Zach's answer to James's request — "Your girlfriend, your question." ”
"Don't be so naïve. Louise waved her hand and glanced at James, who was already dealing with lunch, "James. The tone was suddenly serious, "Sometimes, you really need to tell who your true friends are. ”
James frowned, not knowing what suddenly came to mind, his eyes fell on the empty goat's milk cup, and his face began to be strange, "This is ......" There are milky white milk stains on the rim of the cup, "The milk of your food?"
"Yes, definitely. Louise thought James was deliberately diverting the subject, well, typical. Louise didn't know what she was expecting, and it was James's disappointment that kept proving out. So, Louise's tone wasn't very friendly, "What, are you feeling sick and eating the same ingredients as me and Zack?"
James frowned and glanced at Louise, "No, it's just curiosity." Continuing to put lunch in his mouth, he actually pushed the topic of 'friends', "In addition to Darcy, there are also my 'friends', hmph, looking for me." ”
Louise squinted and thought for a moment, "No, Wes also called and said he would come to you in the afternoon." ”
This had a special meaning - Wes was very relieved that James was resting in Grande.
James didn't take it, heh, guess what.
Miss Miley Liszt also called. Louise looked sarcastic, "Say your bathroom is blocked, ask when you will go back to fix it." ”
The corners of James' eyes twitched, too, "Tell her to call a plumber." ”
Louise raised an eyebrow and looked at James without speaking.
"Look at what I'm doing!" said James.
"Nothing~" Louise looked away. The relationship between men and women, it's good to understand it, and it's not interesting to say it clearly~ But it's time to remind James of something, to say, "Be careful with this Miss Liszt." Louise was not prepared to disturb James, got up, and left the room.
James didn't seem to be very happy to be reminded of this, and looked at Louise's back as she went out, "What is this, friend's warning?"
"Yes. Louise looked back and closed the door.
James sat on the bed for a moment, then tugged at the corners of his mouth and continued to deal with lunch.
After a full meal, sleepiness reappeared—not to blame James, who had not rested yesterday. After Grande and Zack talk a lot about Dale, he comes home to Miley, who is crying like a frozen pear tree. While making up for what happened to Barton during his absence, he listened to this 'roommate' who didn't pay the rent cry about how pitiful, lonely, lonely, and cold he had lived during this time......
James didn't care. By the time Kate came out of Miley's mouth, James didn't really care about everything Miley said about herself.
That's why James was swaying outside in the middle of the night in his coat — he really didn't want to go home and listen to Miley cry about something he didn't care about.
But of course, after meeting Zack, James used to spill his anger that Miley would only cry in front of him, but more importantly, Kate.
If James had a choice, he wouldn't want to come to Zach for help. You don't have to show your failed relationship again in front of Zach, do you?
But Kate is in the middle. In the middle, where both James and Dale have nightmares, James really doesn't have a choice, unless he wants his Kate to follow Georgina's path. Die. Can you imagine what the concept of a man who keeps killing his girlfriend feels like to James?
James nestled back under the covers, but his eyes were still open. Look at the room you're in.
This is Charlie's original room. How do you know? There was a notch on the bedside table that James was staring at - 'Charlie, here'.
James can only imagine that Charlie made this trace when he had no choice but to adapt to the sunrise and night rest after living here, and he was bored and wasting time in bed.
James reached out, touched the nick, and retracted his hand. The reason is that the nicks are too deep. James couldn't help but think that it was Charlie picking it out with his sharp fingers.
James rolled over and lay down in a different direction. I didn't lie down for long, and I reluctantly flipped back. This should be understandable to everyone, everyone has their own sleeping position, some people are used to lying on their stomachs, some people are used to lying on their right side, some people are used to the left side, and some people are used to it...... James was used to lying in front of the nicks that he had picked out with his fingers.
Drowsiness has a magical effect, because people can't control the direction of the dream mind at this stage. James's eyelids drew closer and closer, and when he finally closed them, his mind entered a wonderful state—
James was in a luxurious restaurant, resplendent with gold, so to speak. But what is special is that there is only a dining table and seats in four directions, and he is seated by Kate, Charlie, and Louise.
On the table was a sheep, alive.
The first to get started was Dell. Kate scraped wool with a dinner knife and said, "I'm a vegetarian. "Then Charlie threw away the knife, slashed his finger on the sheep's bald skin, 'Charlie, eaten,' and licked the blood gushing out of the cracked skin. The last to do it was Louise, who patted herself (James) helplessly, "Are you a child? Then take the cup and begin to milk the goat.
Whew! James bounced out of bed. While his head was covered in cold sweat, James knew that it was not a dream, this thing was clear, anyway, he was sure that it was not a dream, it was a preparation before the dream happened, and his mind was randomly combined to produce a strange thing after losing control.
James's drowsiness was gone. He quickly dressed himself and rushed out of the room.
"Hi~" Louise sat on the back porch, holding her thermos. Glancing sideways at James who rushed out, "You're not sleeping?" Louise shifted her body to make way for James, "It's just right, the sun is good today, sun?"
James's face twitched, and he sat down, looking in the direction Louise was looking, "What's going on over there?" living quarters.
"Fix the sewers. Louise took a sip of the thermos, "Didn't you see it yesterday?" ”
James frowned as he looked at the noise in the living quarters, "That's ...... Austin?"
"Do you know him?" Louise was surprised, and then remembered, "Oh, I remember~ When you arrested Zach once, Austin was working in Grande~"
James looked at Louise with a gloomy face, and the reason, in fact, can be guessed, "Are you serious?" Completely malicious, "and now you're still trying to hide it from me?"
Louise kept a smile on her face, "What are you expecting?" James. Louise shook her head slightly, "I said, I'm sorry, I erased the memory of Georgina's death that Austin testified." "Glance at James, and when you get back, take a sip of the thermos.
Did you think of it? The path of Austen's relationship with James was not Austen's presence when James arrested Zack. Rather, Austin was present when Georgina died.
Louise didn't hide it, didn't want to mention it—did it make sense to mention it?
Hum. Louise was thinking about James.
James's face twitched continuously, and he took a deep breath, "Just tell me, at least you felt it at the time...... It's not good to do that (erase Austen's memory and cover up the fact of Georgina's death). ”
"Good. Louise didn't say anything, "I did feel bad at the time. Are you comfortable? ”
James didn't speak, quietly looking at the living quarters.
Louise spoke suddenly, "James, I think Zach and I are about to leave here. ”
James frowned, but did not respond. He didn't know how to respond. I don't know if you remember, on the way to the west, to be specific, in the middle of the road trip, the car broke down in the snow, and when Zach went to the front to find help, it happened that there were only Dale, James, and Wes in the car.
At that time, James was named by Wes, and one day Zach would disappear and no one would do anything for James anymore, and James fell into silence like this.
Louise glanced at James and smiled, "You don't have to worry, I don't know when, it's just a feeling." Louise tilted her head and thought for a moment, "I can feel that Zach's psychology is changing, his attitude towards all kinds of things is changing. ”
"A good change or a bad change. James asked.
Louise did roll her eyes, "When are you going to grow up, not everything is good or bad." ”
James pouted and wouldn't refute.
Louise shook her head, "James." Suddenly a new topic arose, "Do you know what your father is doing?"
"Father?" there was a moment of disgust on James' face, "I don't know. ”
Louise raised an eyebrow, "You have no idea why your father suddenly had a heart transplant?"
"How do I know, it's probably just a heart attack, and the old guy is scared. James was snapping his fingers.
Louise looked at James, "Are you kidding, don't you know about the organ donation farce that happened in front of Barton Hospital when you and Zach didn't go west?"
"I know, so what's wrong?" James was a little impatient, "a donation is a donation, isn't it, they signed a contract, and that's the result, it's their business that the family doesn't accept it." ”
Louise frowned, "Didn't you see a comparison photo of the donors, and what about the news from that time?"
"What?" James frowned and looked at Louise, "Why did you mention this all of a sudden?"
"Oh. Louise looked at James, "I know, Miley lived with you during that time, and besides, it's said that things in your house often broke down, so you didn't notice, and I can understand that." ”
"Tsk, what are you talking about? James was impatient, "I don't need you to understand anything! What the hell do you want to say?"
Louise was silent for a moment, "James, don't you really know what I'm doing? I don't want to think you're so naïve and stupid......" Louise didn't flinch in front of James' getting worse face, "and all the derogatory terms I can think of." ”
"Tsk. Just say!" James could only ask for that.
"Your father is the man behind the scenes. James, your father is stealing human organs, James. ”
