13 Friends
"These two people are 'family'. Wes glanced at his director, not wanting to explain, "I trust them." He received an order not to reveal his profession when he reported it, and he did so, and Old Mel didn't want to worry about this only elder character, and James didn't need to hide it.
"So do we. Zach smiled, "Director Pelce, we won't bother." β
Pelce glanced at the three Grandes irritably, and waved his hand.
Leaving Wes's house, Zach was in a good mood, sitting in the passenger seat of the new car and inking it, telling Benjamin to slow down, he wanted to hear more.
Benjamin shook his head, "If I didn't know you well enough, I'd think you're obsessed with James." β
"I am. Zach admitted without shame, raising an eyebrow as he listened to the conversation in Wes's house, "Special mission? Sounds good." β
Benjamin started the truck, ignoring Zach and smashing the rearview mirror in the car, cobweb-like cracks all over the rectangular mirrors with a crisp crack. This is already a Grande van, and they can dispose of it at will.
"Do you want to go to church with your father?" asked Matthew, tilting his head.
"Good. Matthew agreed.
The van headed straight north and dropped off Matthew at the gospel hall so that he could accompany his father to the service. With the Demon Priest here, you don't have to worry about Matthew's safety. Vampires and Alpha have other things to do.
There are vampires on Barton's borders, and Anthony must be notified of this kind of thing. Although the Indian bloodline is not very solid in Danny's mind, it can be turned into a hole card. With the power of the mayor, he made a death certificate and invalidated the federal legal identity of the vampire. But. To find out the identity of the other party, this is up to Grande.
So after returning to Grande last night, Zach called Anthony. Surprisingly, Anthony made an appointment to meet at Mary's Chapel today. The mayor has something to look for Crowley.
Entering the North District, the car was already parked in front of Mary's Church, and people were still entering the church for worship.
"The Lord thought that he was a righteous man, and asked the angel to tell him to leave here at night with his wife and children. for the fire will devour these sinful men......"
The process of preaching always begins with a story and then leads to a truth. Zach wasn't interested in any of this, he stood at the back of the church, looking. Look for Anthony.
Then he found Anthony, surrounded by several bodyguards in the corner, although sitting upright, but with his head bowed and his eyes closed, the mayor sleeping.
Zach approached with a smile, and several bodyguards stared directly at the comer, waking up their mayor very inconspicuously. Someone gave up a seat, and it looked like Anthony had already said hello.
Anthony's reddish eyes glanced at Zach. "What about Benjamin?"
"Outside. Zach laughed and whispered, "Are you just sitting here and sleeping?" I thought you were here for Crowley. β
"I am. Anthony shifted his position and rubbed his somewhat numb legs. Pouting impatiently, "I'm already here, do you want me to look for it everywhere." She'd better give me the initiative!"
Zach smiled and shook his head helplessly. So before Crowley shows up, let's talk about something else to pass the time. Benjamin wasn't out there in a daze.
"You know. Zach had a look of helplessness on his face, "James said I was a 'bug.'" β
The drowsiness on Anthony's face disappeared completely, and he seemed happy, "He said that?" "If it weren't for the deliberate silence of his voice, the mayor would have blossomed. His face was full of joy. He shook his head in disappointment, "He's too polite." 'Parasite' is more vivid. β
"I knew it. Zach tugged at the corners of his mouth helplessly, "He'll say that this must be influenced by you." You seem to have a good relationship. β
"I don't need to remind you of this, I'm just explaining the nature of vampires. Anthony shook his head with a smile and thought for a while, "Don't expect me to help you, it doesn't matter to me if you don't get along, I just need him to show me the middle and lower class people in Barton City." β
Remember why James was invited to join Grande's circle in the first place? Mayor Anthony can ensure that the upper echelons of Patton are not invaded by aliens, and James will use the resources of the police station all over the city to keep an eye on the middle and lower classes. As a support for both sides, Grande can take over the removal of invasions brought by the alien race at any time. Anthony contributed to the creation of such a structure.
Now there's nothing wrong with Anthony's words. In the past, he would have hoped that James and Grande would get along and cooperate, but now, it doesn't matter whether they cooperate or not.
Come to think of it, it was Zach who missed something, he thought that James had no one to share with him, but James had a person he couldn't share with publicly, the mayor. James fed the news back to Anthony, and Anthony went to Grande again, and it had the same effect.
The only thing that didn't happen to James was that he first met Grande's vampire and Alpha.
Zach sighed and looked at Anthony with some grievances, "Is there anything wrong with helping a friend?"
Anthony snorted and rolled his eyes, "You're a very nasty and bad friend. I warned you a long time ago that James was not from a different background than me, and he would not be grateful for your tempering--tempering-behavior!"
It seems that the mayor already knew the course of the Chapman affair. As for how James figured out Zack's arrangement so quickly, it is conceivable that Anthony did not use his own knowledge of Zach as a hint.
Zach was even more aggrieved, "I knew it was you." He shook his head, "What was it that exposed me?" β
Anthony smiled and raised an eyebrow, "Cosen." You erased some of Curson's memories. β
Zach raised an eyebrow, thinking back to what had happened, the torn license plate number, "Why?" Zach frowned, he didn't understand.
The corners of Anthony's mouth curled, "You, you underestimate people too much." Sue me, why did you become friends with Benjamin. β
Zach glanced at Anthony, "Because we all realize the point of going on without fighting." β
"So it's the guilt of killing each other in the past, which makes you get to know each other. With a hint of curiosity, with a hint of inexplicable expectation, has your friendship been achieved? Anthony didn't use the question, he smiled and said something.
Zach raised an eyebrow and smiled, "You're right. Just as he sometimes gets inexplicably excited to sit safely next to an alpha, Benjamin should feel the same way. It's a strange, unexpectedly pleasant feeling, feel it.
"This is your alien friendship. Anthony shook his head, apparently he was not less guilty of this, "What about us? Have you ever wondered why we became friends?" β
Zach tilted his head slightly and smiled, "You come to sue me." β
"At first, inevitably, all I could think about was, why is there such a powerful thing!" Anthony rolled his eyes, "and then, I began to be curious, attracted to those magical things, like ......" Anthony paused, "Ian, fascinated by eternal life, by the eyes that change will, by speed, by power, by qualities that people can't possibly have. β
Zach's smile was calm, "And then you got through this phase. "The other meaning is that Ian doesn't.
"Yes. Anthony's face was momentarily distracted, but he immediately returned to impatience, "I don't think you're anything special at first, our utensils can kill you, where can you be special!" A silver spoon can make eternal life end, hehe.
"Then I started to really get to know you. Anthony said unceremoniously, "You are just a pompous and naΓ―ve fellow, occasionally pretending to have seen a qiΔ, seeing through life, and expressing a rotten opinion." Occasionally use the tongue that has been honed for hundreds of years, so that the heart of others is not firm. Occasionally use inhuman traits to express a boring sense of racial honor, if you have such a strong sense of honor, why would you be a vampire and not a human......?
Seeing that Anthony had a tendency to stop, Zach helplessly patted his friend's shoulder, "I understand, you don't need to continue, I'll be sad." β
Anthony glanced at the helpless Zach, "Hmph, it proves that I'm right." Childish!"
"You still haven't told me why. Zach reminded Anthony not to digress.
"Because James and Cousson are partners, the trust they have to make them friends. Anthony clasped his arms and looked at Fang's head, "They know each other, their personalities, their habits, their thoughts, their behaviors." You don't take the friendship of others seriously, and you ignore the understanding of two people. β
Zach raised an eyebrow, and it occurred to him that James was sure that Curson would definitely write down the license plate number. Zach shook his head helplessly and chuckled, it was such a trivial matter.
"Hmph. Anthony didn't look at Zach, "It's still underestimated, and as long as you're like that, you should never expect James to make any difference in your opinion." β
Zach frowned, "Why do you say that?"
"Because you underestimate people. Anthony shook his head, "We don't want to know you out of guilt like Benjamin, even if we kill more vampires, we won't feel guilty, you live on our blood! We're not that forgiving! We're willing to get to know a guy who threatens us, and to be friends with him, we have to be curious enough! Just like I'm on a battlefield where I'm going to die at any moment, I can't help but be curious about your self-healing, your speed, your strength." β
Zach listened intently.
"What do you think James needs to know about you as a vampire and befriend you?" Anthony pouted, "Guilty? Curious?
Anthony continued, "You made a straightforward and honest appearance, ruining the beginning of an interracial friendship. And then? Do you want to follow the man-to-man line of James and Cowson, based on trust?"
Anthony snorted and made a closing remark, "You just ruined his trust in you. Although you always say that you want to be friends with him, you can't even give the most basic trust, and no one wants to be your friend. (To be continued)
