Chapter 20: The Cafe

Away from Mary's Chapel, Zach didn't have much place to go because of the sunlight outside. But Mike seems to be an easily satisfied fellow, and Benjamin's ravaged, dilapidated radio fills him with curiosity.

"Are there any goblins singing in there?" Mike asked in surprise.

Zach was behind the wheel, not knowing what to care about, whether it was because the other party hadn't seen the radio or what kind of fantasy age he lived in, even the old name of goblin was said.

"Don't you have a memory of the radio?"

Mike shook his head a little embarrassed, "I'm not good at possession, but it's actually my first time." Before he could do anything, his soul died. He lowered his head, as if he was really sorry, "I haven't been able to understand what kind of person 'Mike' is." He made a gesture of prayer, "Rest in peace." ”

Zach shook his head, not wanting to care if the other party was really sincere, "There are no goblins, just an instrument that can accept electromagnetism and convert it into sound." ”

"Is it like a windmill?" Mike thought, "taking the wind and transforming it into the power to turn the millstone?"

"That's it. Zach smiled at the understanding.

"It's amazing. Mike marveled, curiously fiddling with the knob on the radio, and muttered to himself when the direct electrical frequency noise on the channel appeared, "Is this electromagnetic?"

Zach's destination was obvious, after all, there wasn't much for vampires to visit in Barton. In addition, Zach needed to report the previous progress to someone, so naturally, Zach parked the car in Liszt's back street, got out of the car, and walked with Mike looking around to the café under James's attic, [Time Elf].

As the two sat at the small table by the window, Mike sighed, "Is this a café? In my day, everyone used to grind their own coffee." Moreover, only the wealthy have this drink. ”

"Then you're going to be disappointed. Zach looked at the menu with a smile, "You'll see that coffee nowadays is all about water and espresso." ”

Mike looked at a pile of names he didn't recognize, "What do I want?"

Zach waved his hand indifferently, his attention not on the drinks, but on the waitress who had been watching from the moment he entered.

Finally, the waitress found that her peek had been discovered, and she leaned over a little embarrassed, "What do you need?" ”

Zach didn't rush to order anything, and looked at the girl who obviously had some special relationship with James with a smile, "Don't you remember me? I'm a friend of James." Of course the other party remembers, because when Zach was talking about friends, the girl rolled her eyes thinking that she would not be noticed, and Zach continued, "Actually, I'm here to find James, will he be back at noon?"

The other party's face was a little red, and the question of whether a single man would go home or not, it seemed very inappropriate to ask the girl. She brushed the hair from her forehead and said nervously, "I don't know." But immediately, she was shy, and her face was a little weird, "If you are friends, you can call him and ask him." ”

The girl remembered James' upset look when he saw Zach. Apparently the first impression of Zach was ruined.

"Can I borrow your phone, then?" Zach laughed, it took effort to reverse this first impression, and as for why it was reversed, we could think that it was a boring little trick done by Zack in order to deliberately bring James closer to himself.

The girl looked a little uncomfortable, as if she was annoyed by her own mouth, "In the back." ”

"Thank you. Zach smiled and nodded, "There's one more thing to trouble you, my friend." "He's from far away and he's not familiar with things here, can you explain to him what's on the menu?"

The girl glanced at Mike, who was meticulously organized, although he had faded from the clergyman's attire, he still had a reassuring look, which had nothing to do with what his soul was, it was the temperament imprinted by his long-term life.

It's not a busy time, it's the Monday when work starts, and there aren't many people on Liszt Street, not even the shops on the back streets. The girl looked around and saw that she didn't need her help anywhere else, so she nodded, picked up the menu, and began to explain.

Zach got up and walked to the back, James's phone number he had memorized for a long time, and only hoped that he was not outside and was in the police station right now.

Zach was lucky, and the person who picked up the phone seemed to be in a much better mood after a few hours," said Detective Lance. ”

"It's me, Zach. The vampire smiled and said, "You're in a good mood." ”

Zach could hear the sound of movement coming from the earpiece, apparently James changed his position, and when the sound came out again, the volume was much lower, and even the background sound was lowered a lot, presumably the detective covered the microphone.

"What's the matter, how did you get to the police station. James's speech was fast, inexplicably giving people a sense of concealment.

Zach raised an eyebrow, "Then you prefer me to go directly to the police station to find you." If I remember correctly, the last time I did this, you weren't happy. ”

The other party's breathing was a little unsteady, and Zach was satisfied.

"What's the matter? What are you going to do?"

"Just continuing with the things you visited early in the morning, with the results, I think you'll want to know. Zach laughed and said, "You won't believe what we found ......"

"We?!" the voice in the earpiece was noticeably quicker, "you still went to find the ...... of Crane" The voice was lowered again, "Crawlie, right?!Wait a minute! Don't say it here!, where are you?"

The smile on Zach's face was even greater, "Oh, I'm downstairs from your house, [Time Elf]. Zach felt the deliberately suppressed, still trembling breathing sound in the earpiece, "I think entering your house without consent will also make you unhappy, so I decided to wait for you here." Who can say no to a café with a cosy environment. ”

The phone was hung up.

Zach listened to the beep in his ear, pouted, and walked to his desk with a smile still on his face.

The girl was still by Mike's side, and she had already written a long list of things on the order in her hand, and she didn't dare to answer Mike's question by pointing to a name, because after the explanation, the other party would definitely order a copy.

Seeing Zach come back, she handed the order to Zach with some embarrassment, "Yes." Do you want all of these?

Zach glanced at it and shrugged, "It's okay, James will be coming over too, I'd like to change to a more secret table, okay?" ”

The girl pouted, "This way." ”

Zach and Mike stood up again and walked to the table behind them.
