When James walked into Grande's office, Zach was putting down the phone.

The vampire smiled in surprise, "I was about to leave you a message and visit in the evening." ”

James didn't want to pay attention to the vampire's pretense, he couldn't believe that this guy didn't hear him driving into Grande's backyard, so why pretend to be annoying. But right away, he discovers why Zach has to pretend to be a weak human. The main entrance to the office, which connected to the reception room and Louise's office area, was pushed open, and a scantily clad woman with heavy makeup stared at James in surprise.

"Louise! this is James Lance!Are you friends?!" the woman had rushed to James, and the faint smell of perfume hit James's nose, "He's so sexy!"

Zach's forehead twitched, and the friend of Louise, named Susan, said of herself, 'Oh my God, you're so white, what do you usually use?!'

In the summer, Zack's skin became more and more conspicuous among a crowd of people who were used to basking in the sun. In the summer, it is the helplessness of vampires.

Susan realized her abruptness and smiled and tidied up her appearance. In fact, there is nothing to tidy up, all of which should be exposed, and those that should not be exposed are collapsed very tightly, such as a leather vest tightly fastened on the chest, more like a bandeau with a back.

Reaching out, "Susan, I'm a friend of Louise's. I'm a fan of General Reims!"

The woman's manners were so good that James couldn't refuse, laughed dryly, and shook it.

"What a powerful handshake. "The tone turns in strange places.

James's face changed. He felt the small movement of his palm, matched with the other party's slightly squinted eyes and the tightness in front of him. It's sight, hearing, smell plus touch. Our detective quickly withdrew his hand. James has missed the opportunity to spend time with his girlfriend's family, so let's stop burdening him. Pay attention to some instinctive reactions.

Louise was already holding her friend's shoulder from behind, "Susan!"

"Okay! Okay!" Susan rolled her eyes helplessly, her expression took off her professional charm, and became much more normal, "It's nice to meet you, I didn't talk nonsense about the general's fans!"

She seemed to want to say something, but Louise forcibly dragged her through the side door.

Zach breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced at James with an inexplicable smile and motioned for him to sit down. "She'll know you. It was a pleasant surprise. Zach poured himself dinner, "It seems that what she said about the 'high-end' business is true." ”

Louise's friend, high-end business?James had already understood what Zach meant, but looked at what the other party was wearing. And so proactive, James didn't think he could go anywhere.

"You're wrong. Zach shook his finger in front of James, "Not only high-end, but also very special, strong and proactive are her work qualities." ”

For some reason, the image of Susan wearing only the tight leather tank top appeared in James's mind, and he understood, and awkwardly adjusted his sitting position. He wondered why such a woman would know him.

Zach smiled and deliberately shook his glass in front of James, pulling James's mind away from his mind and back to reality. "Why are you here?

At the end of the visit, the two detectives had nothing to gain, and when they left, Cowson took the bus back by himself. Because anyway, it's in the South District. Let James exchange information with his informant, and maybe Grande has made some progress.

James explained simply, and he couldn't always go into too much detail on the phone. Now James has nothing to hide, even their analysis of Chapman's motives.

The vampire shook his head, and it made sense. He felt that he should tell Madison about it, and Morris would be very pleased with the story.

"Is there any news from you?" said James for a long time. I poured myself water, to the point where I felt a sense of freedom when Zach was at his house. By the time James frowned, he realized that he was too relaxed. Zach smiled and held up his dinner and sat down to make a toast.

Dinner is going on in the dining room of the Grand House, and Alice is very kind to bring two dinners, followed by the Great Dane Gold. One was handed to James, one to King, and then he sat down at the workbench with a frown, accompanied by the Great Dane.

Susan was much more terrible than Louise, and was too interested in Alice after learning about her job of grooming corpses. This made Alice a little uncomfortable, and now she silently held a bowl of salad and didn't dare to go out.

Zach certainly wouldn't mind, and James's eyes swept back and forth, giving up on expressing his opinion. He had spoken out to Louise, and as a result, he was taught by Louise and then by the vampires. He won't make such a mistake again.

"You won't like to hear what I'm going to say next. Zach watched James begin to eat dinner, and the bad taste decision added to the description of Chapman's current state.

The vampire begins to make up for James.

Just as Zach expected, James was only halfway through his dinner, and he glanced apologetically at Alice. Then take a deep breath, "Sue me, you have a way to find Chapman." ”

"Of course. Zach moved his body, "You can go with us, just chase his scent and find him." Zach raised an eyebrow, "But there's no guarantee that he'll be alive when we find him." There is a limit to how long a filmmaker can sustain life. I don't know this filmmaker named Wandel, and I can't judge whether he is powerful or not. ”

James took a deep breath and focused himself. He didn't want to think about what would happen after he found Chapman, and now that he was in an alien home, he forced himself to think only about alien issues.

"You don't know him, so he only came to Barton a few months ago?"

"It's not. Zach shook his head, with a hint of nostalgia, "He's not in my range, the soul is alien, and he used to be in the range of the Tempests." You should understand that demons may still have something to do with me, but if a soul alien like Danny doesn't show up, I won't be able to spot them, which is much more convenient for witchcraft. And once he's out of his body, there's nothing I can do to catch them. ”

Alice's spoon touched the porcelain bowl, and the soft sound drew their eyes to her, "I, I can write a spell, maybe it can help." ”

Before Zach could speak, James refused directly, because he knew that Alice would not leave Grande, so he was the one who used the spell. Having had Ryan's experience once, he didn't want a second time.

Zach smiled and looked at Alice, "Don't worry, maybe this Vendle's escape will make things a lot easier." ”

Still, Zach took the conversation in a direction that James didn't want to think about.

Think about it, if Chapman were still alive. Then James's character will never allow the other party to die in front of him, then the blood of the vampire will completely heal Chapman's injuries, Chapman will remain human, and live a normal life under the influence of the Enchanting Pupil, everything he does will be in vain. No one can guarantee that he won't do such a crazy thing again!

If Chapman dies, or if Zach doesn't have time to heal him with blood before the filmmaker leaves, his plan succeeds, and his family will receive the money they paid for their lives. Everything will go on as usual.

"Find him first!" said James, grimacing why he kept encountering such things.

Zach looked at James's face, "Be happy, James." The vampire shook the glass in his hand, "Don't you think it's a right? someone's life has gone astray, and you, with the right to transcend common sense, you can give him a chance to regret it." ”

James lowered his head and thought for a while, "This is not a right, this is a power to interfere in the lives of others. ”

Zach raised an eyebrow, there was nothing James could do if he thought so, it would be rare for him not to be angry because the filmmaker was involved.

"Still, if you can give him a new choice, that's not a bad thing. Zach took a sip of his cup of dinner.

James stopped talking about it, took a deep breath, and pushed away the half-eaten dinner in front of him, "When are we leaving?"

"Right now. Zach stood up and walked to the side door, he had one more thing to attend to before leaving.

Dinner in the dining room continued, old Hank with a wrinkled face, Matthew staring at his food without squinting, the phantoms and necromancers not showing up, and only the whispered laughter of Susan and Louise at the table.

"Susan!" Zach patted Louise on the shoulder, looking apologetic.

Louise understood, pursed her lips, and didn't speak.

Susan, who was suddenly called, smiled and looked at Zach, her eyes quickly occupied by red. James stood behind Zach and knew what was going on when he saw Susan's suddenly confused expression.

"You didn't see James Lance here. The vampire said very gently.

James's visit was an accident, and Zach was indeed planning to go to his house in the evening. It was not a good thing for such a high-end, special service woman to know that the Grand House was connected to James Reims. Such a woman is like a homeless person in the upper class, the cheapest informant for some people, well, not cheap, but the meaning is understood by everyone. God knows who she'll sell this news to.

The expression on Susan's face changed from confused to confused, and finally to clear, and nodded.

The red in Zack's eyes faded and he looked at Benjamin, "Let's go." ”

Alpha stood up and pulled Matthew up, "You too." "Such a good exercise of the sense of smell, how can you let go of the young wolf.

Matthew gave an honest oh and gave Louise an apologetic look, who had stayed to discuss the funeral of his new client. Alpha is greater than Grande.

Louise shook her head indifferently, quickly turned her friend's head away, and did not let her see James behind her again, the expression on her face continued with the previous joke, and continued to whisper and gossip with Susan. (To be continued)
