2 Chapman's funeral
The funeral of a police officer who died in a law enforcement operation is bound to attract media attention. The update is the fastest, so it is said that Zach should be out of the way at this time. But, this cop is Chapman, so Zach at the funeral.
Everyone rest assured, depending on the situation, Zach does not have to worry about being filmed by the media, and the Cologne chief of the Southern District Police Department spontaneously arranged for the police in the Southern District to set up a barrier outside the Church of the Holy Son, and anyone with filming equipment may enter the funeral. The police, guarding the last ** of their police brothers.
Danny, the former phantom and now a pseudo-Father Cherubstone, is praying. He watched with his eyes open as the demon Chapman floated around the church, saying, "A righteous life will be accepted by the Holy Lord and settled in heaven." "No sarcasm, Chapman is only one, there are a bunch of people under the altar who need comfort, and the priest's job is reasonable.
Chapman is floating because he is catching Wandel.
Ay.
The skull gave Chapman a holiday to attend his funeral. Originally, this should have been an important ceremony for Chapman to say goodbye to his human life. It's a pity that the funeral is already halfway through, but Chapman didn't say goodbye to anything, and the whole process was used to arrest a certain 'lewd-obscene-' filmmaker he used to be......
Father Stone finished the prayer and handed over the process to Grande's men.
After explaining the farewell process to all the participants as the owner of the funeral home, Zach handed over the work to Louise and went to the rear himself," said Father Stone. With a smile, "I must admit that the first time I heard you preside over a funeral, you wished a much better prayer than Father Eric~" Do you remember, Eric once lost his speech at the funeral.
"For me, it's just a recitation. "Danse is direct, take a sip of water, take a break," recently ...... "a little sentimental, "Is Grande okay?"
"It's okay. Zach replied very casually, and there was nothing to talk about, Zach just talked casually, "What about you, the ** of faith is not causing you any trouble." "For example, to behead people (republicans) and so on.
Dance was a little embarrassed, he might never be able to shake off this stain, "No trouble, heaven has been filled with Newton Crawley's angels, and has a normal will." "This topic has the meaning of anthropomorphic beliefs, and the expression 'Heaven has a normal will,' don't care," I have been given real authority, and I won't do that kind of thing. β
"Authority?"
"Guarding the door. Danse pointed upwards, "not the cherubim of the real church, guarding the passage into heaven." I am guarding the passage out of heaven. β
Zach only made a face that needed to be explained.
Dans was self-conscious, "The angels who now fill the heavens are not rigorously sifted through the teachings of the faith. "To tell the truth," despite being educated by the angel Crowley, it still does not represent the goodness and righteousness that the Holy Lord's faith has formulated for this world. Dance pursed his lips, "Crowley doesn't want those guys to run into this world casually. β
Zach had a smile on his face, "Afraid that the guy who is full of numbers will disgrace the name of the angel?"
Dans nodded, then couldn't bear it anymore and laughed with Zack~
Relaxed topic~ Zach continued to ask some gossip, such as whether there was a guy who really didn't want to be an angel and ran out. Dans also replied easily, yes, there are really living and understanding guys in this world, who have no intention of heaven, only hell.
A pleasant chat was interrupted.
As the top leader of the North District Police Department, Darcy naturally came forward in the order of the farewell ceremony, and he had already completed the ceremony and came to the rear. The inheritor had the patience to listen to Zach and the priest chatting, but when he saw that James and Wes had also finished the ritual and came to the rear, he took the lead.
"Toredo, can we talk. β
Toredo here is not simply Zack's clan surname, but Darcy deliberately used Zack's magic feast title to make James repel.
Sure enough, James, who was originally walking towards Zack, had a sinking face and sat down in the rest area irritably.
Zach didn't refuse, and continued to walk with Darcy to the back of the church, "Is there something wrong?"
Darcy's face hesitated, and his face was also strange, and he spoke...... Feel for yourself, "I went for a medical check-up yesterday. β
Zach looked at the man, health, right, but a man of this age should have a lot of small problems. It's not a disease, it's just a natural cycle of biological life, you should understand enough, we are born, we develop, our body tends to stabilize, and then, everything starts to go downhill, until we have to admit that we are already an old man, and finally, die.
Zach didn't answer, waiting for Darcy to say it himself.
It's Zack's bad taste, Zack wants to hear how this kind of thing is spoken. Oh, Zach already knows what Darcy is trying to say, and if anyone doesn't have Zack's ability to see people's hearts, listen to it
"I won't be able to eat eggs anymore. Darcy gave a quick glance at Zach's demeanor. There is no need to whitewash this police chief, he is just twisting.
"Oh, what a pity. Zach remained calm and never moved forward.
Darcy frowned, "The doctor also said I was stressed out and recommended me for counselling. β
Obviously, Darcy was hoping Zach asked.
Zach, with a slight look on his face, "yes." β
The corners of Darcy's mouth twitched, and he could only push forward, "But there is no psychotherapist here who can relieve my stress." Because the doctor thought I was due to the accumulated stress of the police department's work, but you should know that it is not. β
Zach just didn't ask, "Naturally, we don't know much either~"
Darcy stopped talking and looked at Zach. Zach looked at Darcy as well. The awkward staring lasted half a minute.
Darcy couldn't hold his breath, "If I don't become a vampire again, it'll be too late!"
Zach replied, "Hehehe, how can you think so, how old are you? Not even fifty~How can you say it's late~"
"I'm past the average lifespan of an inheritor!" Anyway, Darcy didn't hold back, "I'm very old!"
Zach continued, "Hehehe, you don't seem to be able to compare your life with the inheritor now~"
"Indeed!" Darcy was firm, "I'm going to fix the life cycle of this form (human) into an eternal inheritor!" Scared Zack, he grabbed Zack with both hands, "It's time! I should be a vampire!"
Darcy's palms were sweaty and sweaty from excitement, and they were all wiped on Zack's hands. Zach twitched his hand once, but didn't pull it out, and put away a smile that was deliberately circling, with a helpless face, "It's useless for you to tell me, it's not me who promised to give you a fixed life cycle reward." β
"But you can tell Rutler Senbra that I've done my job!" Not only did he not let go of Zach's hand, but he was still shaking vigorously, "James Lance's reputation at Barton is unstoppable! His future is clear! I can claim my reward!"
"You don't have to be in such a hurry. Zach tried again to withdraw his hand. Being forced to contaminate an old man's bodily fluids is not a feeling that Zach likes.
"Why am I not in a hurry??" Darcy seemed to be more agitated, "all the indicators of my body are declining!" "Uh, the physical examination, "I can't easily maintain my shape! I can't control the wrinkles on my face! I can't even ...... myself" glanced down at himself inexplicably.
Tsk, I guess if you're going to get ready to start eternal life, something really needs to be taken into account, doesn't it? Hehe, otherwise, some group in the west that abuses the organ sharing system......
"You're the inheritor, and you should understand that when you become a vampire, it doesn't matter what bothers any non-immortal creatures. Zach was telling the truth, vampires had enough species advantages to make these things that only ordinary creatures bother them to disappear. Some humans may not be able to figure it out for a moment, but Zach doesn't think that the same is true for the inheritors who are immortalized in another way...... Immature.
Darcy embraced his childishness, "Not all creatures have your skin, and not all vampires can be fixed to immortality at the highest point of human life like you!
Well, Zach was taught. Nodding, "Okay, the next time Rutler Sembra contacts me, I'll mention it to him, okay." "Zach just wants to get his hand back.
"I'll be very grateful!" Darcy replied, "I'll be in the North Police Department for at least ten years, and I can guarantee that whatever you need, I'll be able to ......."
Even if it is not said whether Zach can stay at Barton for ten years, Darcy's unreserved promise cannot be finished.
"Stealing my job, what are you promising to a civilian. Director Cologne came over, glanced at Darcy without the slightest kindness, and then looked at Zach, "We need to talk." β
Scold. Without giving Zach time to wipe his wet hands, Cologne had gone deeper behind him again.
Naturally, Zach didn't want to continue to be bothered by Darcy and kept up.
Director Cologne's mouth was much more normal, "Thank you, Chapman is a good cop, he deserves a decent funeral." "It's thanks to Grande.
Zach was humble, "That's what we're supposed to do." "I can feel a turn in the topic.
"Sometimes I, I think, if only you were really just a funeral owner. Cologne glanced at Zach.
Zach gave a shy smile and didn't answer.
"I want to apologize to you. β
What the?
Zach gave confusion.
"Your brother. Cologne waved his hand, "Benjamin is building an 'outdoor rental' storefront. "Look at Zach," it seems, Benjamin is doing legitimate business. There was mockery in Cologne's eyes.
It was he who mocked himself. After all, hehe, remind Zach that no matter what Benjamin is doing, it's Cologne himself who needs a legitimate faΓ§ade, isn't it.
In any case, Zach doesn't have a bad feeling about Cologne, this is a good director who has made self-sacrifices for his friend Anthony, although the truth about many things about Barton is cloudy. So, Zach wasn't ready to let Cologne's self-deprecation land, "Apologies should be on my side, our Grande brothers, to make the director worried." β
Cologne snorted and shook his head, his mood should have changed, and his voice was much more sincere, "If I were you, I'd be staring at James a little bit during this time." No matter how dignified the funeral was, it didn't change the fact that James believed he had killed Chapman. "Based on the assumption that Zach was arranged by the Lance family to come to Barton to assist James. Director Cologne was right.
Zach also used a sincere attitude, "Thanks for the reminder." "Take the reminder? As long as Zach told James that Chapman was floating in the church, James couldn't feel guilty. To be more specific, guilt will be replaced by other emotions, and the emotions that will be replaced will definitely not get better if they are stared at by Zack.
Cologne looked at Zach and nodded, as if there was nothing more to say, before leaving, "There's a girl with a western accent out there making trouble, and our people are in control." As if he just said casually, "Do you know?" β
Zach knew who it was, it was Hannah. Zach had long heard the guy break the news to the media outside the church, and Hannah burst into tears and complained to the media who couldn't make it to the funeral site, accusing Grande of postponing her father's funeral at will.
Zach didn't pay attention to it, not because he was afraid of a conflict with the media, but because Grande willfully postponed Hannah's funeral, isn't it the reason why none of the media can get in now~ This is a small matter, just leave it to the police.
"If it's the girl whose father's funeral is postponed until tomorrow. Zach gave Cologne a helpless look. loaded.
Cologne is also really sharp-minded, "Oh, rumors, close for a day to educate, it's almost over." He nodded his chin and left.
Poor Hannah. Maybe it's not pitiful, at least for a day, she doesn't have to worry about accommodation.
Zach prepares to go back to church to see how the farewell ceremony progresses.
Since Chapman's identity is a police officer, and in a sense it is a cohesive profession, so everyone can understand the fact that in addition to Chapman's family, police officers from all three districts of Patton came to attend the funeral. The farewell ceremony will take longer than a regular funeral.
Zach was planning to let the elder Hank take the staff of the living district back to Grande first if it would drag on for a long time
A staff made up of ex-criminals, in an occasion where almost the entire city police were gathered. Oh, if you want to say that those employees are calm and natural, you are dreaming.
Isn't Old Hank always attacking Zach and not thinking about Grande, Zach is thinking about Grande now, here is up to him and Louise, and when needed, Old Hank will bring someone again.
That's what Zach intended. Halfway through, he was stopped by James. The anthropomorphic sighed and followed James back to the back of the church.
As I said earlier, the fact that Chapman has become a demon will make James's guilt turn into other emotions that are not suitable for Zach to participate in. So, now James took the initiative to find Zach, obviously not related to Chapman.
Wes, who was accompanying James, realized that he nodded to Zach and disappeared on his own.
James said, "Kate proposed to me. β
What the?!
Did the hole that Zach opened in Kate's heart be too big?
Zach didn't have time to say anything.
"I refused. James didn't look at Zach, he looked at the tips of his shoes, "How can a woman do this kind of thing." I'm going to propose to her this weekend, and you'd better be there tomorrow at Fenway Park. β
Just informed. With that, James turned and walked away.
As a small reminder, tomorrow at Fenway Park, the first day of Barton's High School Football Spring League. Oh no, this year is a bit special, and it's not right, and it's not worth it for us who already know that the Barton family's takeover of Newton has begun. This year's Fenway Park was a Barton-Newton high school match.
