Sunday is also the second day of the full moon cycle. Neither the things that were coming nor the things that were being prepared shook Grande's own daily routine-

Louise went to the Church of the Holy Son and accompanied the priest to the prison to preach. Matthew took a leave of absence to accompany his father to worship. The 'princess' of the Barton family, who has completely severed ties with the church, Lola comes to pick up Alice to go shopping...... Austin came to Grand with design drawings.

"Right here. Austin stood next to the warehouse on the south side and gestured to the open space in front of him, "300 pings is fine, two floors, plus a basement ......."

Austin was saying, Zach was wandering. Zach wanted Old Hank to take care of this, but Old Hank disappeared early in the morning and went to the cemetery.

"A common activity area, a common relaxation area, just like the living room and recreation room of the average home, and then two communal kitchens, two separate collective bathrooms. Residential room, three sets of home layout, convenient for families, the rest is a single room......"

"Sounds great. Zach didn't listen at all, but felt that Austin said so much enthusiastically, and wanted to be meaningful, "That's it, when will the construction start." ”

"Ugh. Austin took the drawings, "This is just plan one, I still have three design ...... in my bag"

Zach pursed his lips, not wanting to hear it, "That's it." ”

But Austin was still saying, "There's a plan for merging your warehouses to the south to make room for cremation facilities in the future...... Austin really took the symbolism of 'Grande is a sign of Barton's funeral business,' but-

That's the bottom line that Zach won't continue to give up, "Grande has a mill, and he doesn't need anything to put here." ”

"Oh. Austin is still saying, "Another plan is to directly renovate your main warehouse (where Benjamin lives), and when I renovated you last time, I found that you had made pipeline arrangements in the warehouse (Benjamin's private open-air bathroom), and there was also a prototype of the living quarters, which could be ......."

"Nope. Zach looked at Austin, "The first one sounds good, when will construction start." "People who should have a little bit of an eye now know it's time to shut up.

Austin was stunned for a moment, "Anytime!" casually shook his head, "Uh, no, I didn't bring a contract, I don't know...... "It's kind of a slick guy," Mr. Grande is so decisive. ”

It was a compliment, and Zach caught it, "Hehe, thank you." Then I'll wait for you to get the contract. "That's the send-off.

"Uh...... Okay!" Austin stretched out his right hand, hoping for a happy cooperation, after all, we know that the last time he renovated the Grande, he ended up losing money due to an elevator accident.

Zach shook it and ignored it, and walked to the warehouse to the south, which can be regarded as a reminder of the 'guests' in the warehouse.

Pushing open the door to the warehouse, Georgina was in a daze.

"Do you hear that? Zach asked.

"I hear you. Georgina squinted at Zach, sarcastically, "You should agree to the plan to merge the warehouses so that you can get rid of me completely." ”

Zach smiled, "Heh, you're too self-indulgent, and the new employee living area is not to get rid of you." But I do want to remind you that the future construction is right next to you, and they should use the warehouse a lot, so be careful. Zach just wanted to remind him of that. The reminder has arrived, ready to quit.

"I don't understand. Georgina spoke again, stopping Zach from withdrawing, "What's the point of you doing this." You're getting yourself in trouble. Pulling the corners of his mouth, "Build a house for ordinary people to live in." ”

Zach raised his eyebrows, and the people in Grande didn't say anything, but this outsider commented here. But, if you think about it carefully, only this outsider would comment so bluntly. yes, why would Zach be asking for trouble.

It's time to explain a wave, it doesn't matter to whom, we know that when people explain something, they are actually explaining themselves, right, brainwashing themselves - it's right to do so, to give yourself peace of mind. It seems that vampires are not exempt from vulgarity, and since Georgina asked, then Zach answered well.

"You don't see the whole picture. Zach waved his hand, found a place to lean, and crossed his arms, "You probably don't know what the situation is with the Grande human employees right now. ”

"You said the grave keepers in the cemetery, and the security guards. "Georgina has been 'living' in Grande for a long time, she knows that.

"Yes. Security guards can rule out that they are not employees of Grande. Zach tilted his head, "I'm just talking about the grave keepers, they won't live in." First of all, when they were recruited for sympathy, it was confirmed that they had families, that they had their own place to live. "Remember, that was the only thing Zach asked Louise to recruit employees, and at least at that time, Zack's principle of 'don't let Grande live in idlers' was still strong.

"Secondly, Hank Sr. confirmed that those people would leave Grande as soon as they had better jobs. Zach shrugged, "So it's a trouble, but in the short term, it won't be there, even if a new living area is built." ”

"Short-term. In a mocking tone, Georgina shook her head, "It sounds like you're the one who didn't see the pattern." Such short-sightedness. How short can the short term be? One year or two years, that's more, half a year! New job opportunities will be everywhere. ”

Georgina spoke as if she understood Patton's situation. But that's the way it is, she really understands it, and her only activity in this warehouse is listening to the radio and reading the newspaper. She knew that Barton, a small city that was only half a century old, was about to usher in a fourth economic development point after the birth, local businesses, and Liszt business district. Foreign trade.

"Yes. Zach smiled and nodded, "You're right." My problem is that at that time, the funeral industry, which was not treated by ordinary people, is now in a state of change. How do you retain or even recruit your own employees when there are job opportunities everywhere?"

Georgina frowned, "What do you care about the funeral industry!What does Ford say about the loyalty of employees, the funeral industry belongs to us people, and no one wants to take it away!", it seems that Georgina is also a well-informed guy in Grande, who knows everything, "Don't tell me, you really like to be the owner of this funeral home." It's just your identity, I've been here for so long, and I haven't seen you do any funeral work, it's all Louise doing. ”

"You're right again, I really don't care about the funeral industry. Zach shrugged, "If it weren't for Anthony's strong recommendation of such an identity that no one paid attention to at the time, I wouldn't have taken over this funeral home." Zach laughed, "I'm a vampire, do you think I like to deal with the dead?" ”

Georgina pouted, this question, she had had, and had asked, but the person who asked—the person who answered her was the one who no longer existed with the person in this story, Robert: The low-key identity that Torredo needed, as a survivor of the Hidden Alliance, he had a big rake on him. Both the human society and the interracial side are that as long as he surfaces in any form, he will be targeted. Grande's environment is very suitable for him, in the underdeveloped southern district of the small city, it is also the funeral industry at the bottom, and it is also the home of two old men without a queen, and he is covered with three layers of cover to ensure his safety.

"The key is still Grande. Zach's gaze drifted, "When I first arrived, Grande was just a cover identity, and like the countless cover identities I've used before, I shouldn't have any special emotions. However, old Hank became the first accident, and before me, he already knew that this world has people with red eyes. ”

Thirteen years before the war ended, he came to see his brother, Anthony's ideal place, Barton's, Eun, Ian.

"So from the beginning, old Hank knew that I, Benjamin, Alice, were not ordinary humans. Zach had a smile on his face, "It's funny that this old man didn't kick us out, but accepted us, well, no." Zach shook his head, "It's not acceptable, he makes a deal with us." We gave Grande another life, and he fully cooperated. ”

Georgina didn't get it, it didn't matter, Zach had as much to say today as usual.

"Grande is here, gone. Zach curled the corners of his mouth, "Grande is in the funeral industry, but the two old men have already handed over the main business to the West District Grande at that time, and they came to the South District just to provide for the elderly, you can think that the two old guys are preparing to wait for death in the South District Grande." ”

Georgina continued, "Because there are no offspring." "Quietly.

"Yes, because there are no offspring, Grande's future must be given to the people in the West End, and then the two old men eat government subsidies in the South End, and finally hang up lonely and unaccompanied. Zach didn't care to use tragic words, because the truth was that old Grande was already hanging, "and the arrival of Benjamin and I changed that, and Grande had the possibility of inheritance." ”

Zach waved his hand, "I don't want to delve into what old Hank's psychology is, almost immediately, he simply joined us and helped me and Benjamin deceive old Grande together." "I don't want to, but I already know it. Once Grande's real descendant, that Drake came to Barton to find his father, has made Zach feel the heart of old Hank, "but judging from the results, what is presented is very good, old Grande has someone to accompany him in the last moments, and someone to send him to the end......"

Georgina interrupted, thinking of herself—she was still a missing person in the police station, and she thought of her parents. The irritability made her reluctant to listen to such false and tender stories, "So what, are you really going to think of yourself as a descendant of Grande?" was still mocking.

"No, just grateful for Old Hank's cooperation. Zach shrugged, "You probably haven't encountered this kind of money situation yet, you can try it later." You're a vampire, and it's hard enough to reveal your identity to others, hehe. Georgina hadn't 'come out' to James yet, "As you can imagine, someone knows you're a vampire and fully cooperates with your situation. Do you know that the one who persuaded Old Grande to adopt Alice and give Alice a family where she could grow up in peace was Old Hank. ”

"Tsk. If you want to do it, you can have the same effect at a glance. ”

"Then why don't you go and see James? You can make him think you're still the same Georgina. Zach smiled and actually touched his chest, "The mood is completely different." ”

Mood, yes, vampires are talking about mood. A thing that can be easily handled by the enchanting pupil, because of the voluntary cooperation of a human old man, and the mood is completely different.

Georgina had a gloomy face and didn't speak for a long time.

Zach felt that the explanation was almost complete, and it was time to conclude, "So, you know, I'm just responding to Old Hank." Trouble, you're right, half a year, it should appear, to be honest, I haven't figured out how to deal with it then, but I have been in a good mood by an old man for nearly ten years, and I have been in a good mood with him once, so that he can feel better, I think it can be done. Zach finally smiled, "When I'm gone, when I leave here, it's nice to know that Grande will be passed on." ”

"To whom?" Georgina asked, still sarcastically, "are you and Louise going to have a descendant, I don't think you have that function." "It's malicious.

"You're not listening. "Zach doesn't matter, the function is not, the action is fine. These guys who listen to horror shows at night should know best. "Hank asked old Grande to adopt Alice. Benjamin and I won't have this last name forever, but, Alice can. ”

Probably everyone missed it, old Hank is silent, he has already prepared. Immortality, immortality, and the like, have never been a selling point for some people.

Georgina opened her mouth, "Old Hank, it's the ...... who has great vision" She didn't say anything, because Zach had already walked out, and he didn't close the door well.

Georgina didn't find Zach rude in doing so, first, she was herself an awkward 'guest', and then she also heard the sound of James coming downstairs.

"You're awake. Zach looked at James who was rubbing his eyes and smiled, "Coulson came and said you can continue to mess around on your own, he wants to worship with his family, but in the afternoon, he wants you to be honest about where you ran yesterday." ”

James grimaced, "How did Cousson find this place?"

"He's been looking for you for a day, you're not at home, you're not at the police station, you're not at the Southern District Police Department, you're not at Wes's, you're not at Fitz's. "Don't look at this string a lot, but it's pathetic, isn't it, that's James's entire social circle at Barton, it's all work-related," where else could you be. ”

James took a deep breath and walked to his car.

"Where are you going?" asked Zach.

"Pai Siying, find Sibella, I'll see how they prepare. ”

"Exactly. Zach pulled James back and pushed him to the basement, "Two cans by the wall, drop by." ”

As for why James only woke up at Grande at this time.

That is true:

Yesterday Zach and Louise filled the canister of blood and was about to go out to find him, he himself returned, and after some explanation, began to ask about the interracial gathering he did not attend. Yes, with his character, he kept disturbing Zach until nightfall, and he himself managed to lose sleep, and he didn't sleep until the early hours of the morning, and then it was now.

Watching James walk down the basement with a black face, Zach added, "Don't get it wrong, it's what those wizards and hunters ...... to follow." )
