5 Telephone
The conversation between Moreman and James on the phone lasted a bit long because Zach didn't explain what James was to Grande and what James knew.
The only thing he told Morman was, "Detective Reims, you saw him last time, and now he and his partner are investigating the fires in the North and South Districts, helping the Grande people and making him realize the danger of the matter." β
Be irresponsible. I can't blame Zack, James, a human being, and Grande's fate, it's too troublesome to explain......
So Morman, who was holding the phone, always looked entangled, and every time he mentioned something related to the alien race, he looked at Zack with inquiring eyes, and Zach had to nod his head to say that he could say it.
Of course, when James first picked up the phone, Zach offered to ask James to come over, and it was not appropriate to talk about interracial things on the phone. But James refused, citing 'I'd rather just listen here!'. Zach understands it very well - James's 'this' is a police station that is all human, and Grande is an alien race. The atmosphere is inclusive. How else could it be?
But Zach was right, thankfully the phone was given to Moreman, the guy who had given James some help to understand Patton's situation at the time when James had just returned to Patton.
James only 'en' once when he heard the In'ans come up with an enchantment that changed the laws of the world, twice when he heard about the Kraken, and three times when he heard about Papa's Midnight creation, plus a deep breath......
In short, I listened to Morman's story peacefully.
"Oh, oh!" Moreman glanced at Zach a little nervously, he wasn't sure what he was saying to keep the detective on the other side of the receiver from realizing the danger, "Papa midnight." It is the ancestor of Indian witchcraft......"
"I know. James on the other side of the earpiece tried to calm his tone and lowered his voice, "The Walking Corpse and the Dead Apostle that Barton appeared before were done by him, and they were very dangerous. β
"Oh......" Moreman blinked, glancing at Zack. The message is 'this detective knows so much ......'.
Moreman's story was over, and Zach took the phone, and it was time to wrap up, "James, you heard it all. Listen to the news these days. "It's boring to sit in front of the Windwind, and Zach has nothing to do but listen to the radio," Corson seems to relate to the fire to the past. "The remnants of Saint Sissi's club.
"That's smart. Zach commented, "My client (Boone Herman) was also happy that the police counted his workshop in the attack (with police justice.)" The insurance side is over), everyone gets what they want. Let's get rid of it. I don't need to explain to you the dangers of what happened to Papa Midnight, except for the Dead Apostles, and don't forget the original reason for Old Mel's Teddy and Republicans. β
Unexpectedly, James didn't immediately say anything to refute it, and in the sound of slow breathing, he could hear Cowson's curious rambling on the side - "This phone call is really long......
"James. Zach frowned, "Did you hear that?" β
"Molman who just spoke to me. Merfolk, is it a foreign race that was originally in Barton?" James in the earpiece asked. The volume is low.
Zach tugged at the corners of his mouth, not quite understanding what James meant, and looked at Moreman, who didn't know what to do, and responded, "It's the lifeguard on Knoll Beach." It was to correct James's way of accepting things.
"Alien!" James's voice was gloomy, of course. The volume was also lowered.
"Lifeguards. Zach pouted.
"Alien!" James was insisting, "don't affect my opinion! Yes, yes! I don't need you to add any other identity to him! I want to ask if he lived in Barton in the first place!"
Zach raised an eyebrow, does that matter?" Is there anything wrong with this, I need to remind you that this is the second time he's helped you......" Zach looked at Molman, who was nervous, and the guy had a face full of 'What's wrong with me?
Zach pursed his lips and shook his head. Naturally, Zach was accustomed to thinking that James was just showing his usual prejudice against aliens. Zach didn't want to dwell on this kind of thing. Changed the subject, "Didn't Corson worship with his family today?"
"It's none of your business!" James replied in his usual way.
"I have some other important information that I need to tell Curson. "Zach paused deliberately, did he know what Zach was going to say?"
Zach's priorities are quite 'scientific', and he talks about the things that are for James' safety first, and he is talking about things that James will 'explode'. It's called, salute first, shit later.
"It's about the Southeast. "Listening to James on the other side of the earpiece, he swallowed back what he wanted to say, and it was all nonsense, 'You vampire, don't mess with my partner!'.
Zach continued, "Or tell you the same, you're partners anyway. β
"Say!" James's best efforts to maintain his peace were utterly lost.
"The 'General' is still alive and hiding in a safe place for the time being. Zach raised an eyebrow in his office, aiding his tone, "You can just say that to Corson." β
There was silence on the other side of the earpiece for a moment, "You don't need to tell us. James's tone was actually calmer, "We have investigated ourselves, and the body of the 'General' has not been found, and his gang's subordinates have almost found it." The volume also returned to normal, apparently sending a message to his partner.
Sure enough, in the background of the earpiece, Coulson's voice appeared, "What are you talking about? Grande has news of 'General'?! Yes, they are all in the same circle (gray professional circle)! Why did I never think to ask!"
"James. Zach crooked his lower lip, "You'd better get Corson out of the way first, you didn't listen to me carefully." That's what you can tell Cowson, and I have something to say about you that you know that Cousson doesn't need to know. β
There was a loud gasp on the other side of the earpiece, and I didn't know what James's expression was at this time, but I heard Cowson shouting, "What are you doing! Let me hear it!" and James's pitching and irritating voice to the limit, "Don't get so close to me!!"
Zach raised an eyebrow. Good opportunity, "The 'General' has become my descendant." In Grande's basement, I've been practicing moving in the sun lately, and it's almost there. β
The person on the other side of the earpiece didn't have the energy to respond to Zack, only-
"What did he say?" said Corson's voice.
James's pushing.
"X!" "It's Lao Tzu's informant! Lao Tzu came to talk to him!!"
"The General's bar was the first to find the attack at the beginning of the chaos in the Southeast. Zach continued with the eerie sound of plastic squeezing and tugging in the earpiece, presumably the microphone being snatched. Let's expect the quality of the police station's phone to be excellent.
But Zach believes that young James will not lose to Cowson. As it turned out, James's heavy breathing was still the clearest in Zack's ears, "But the 'General' was lucky, and Noe happened to ask him for something at the time, and the two avoided the attack." But the two are not safe, and they have been hiding from the pursuit until they are cornered. Noh reached out to me. β
"Coleson! Get out !!"
Zach frowned, the earpiece in his ear moved away slightly, and James broke out over there, and after this somewhat startling roar, Zack noticed that the noisy police station in the background was quiet.
Then the silence awkwardly lasted for a moment, and the noise continued, and James's familiar forcible calm breathing reappeared in the earpiece, "You go on." "No more Cosen's harassment.
This kind of time. It wasn't supposed to be the time for Zach to show his bad taste again, but when did our vampires take care of that? he laughed. "James, he's your partner, it's not good for you to do this. β
"Following. Continue. β
"Okay. Zach tilted his head, "But at the time, I was still late, and my best efforts only kept the result at not the worst." The result is what I just told you. It's a pity that the 'General' is not very talented, and even today, he can only stand in the sun for a while, and the distance can assist the police and return to Coleson's identity as an informant. It will take a few more days. I have to admit that Zach's statement about the focus of the matter is ...... Forget it, you get the idea.
"As for what happened at the time, I don't think you would want to hear my version, you can ask him yourself. β
There was a long silence on the other side of the receiver, and in the eyes of the people at the police station, including Corson, it would only be Detective Lance frowning and listening to the phone intently, and that concentration was obviously a very important thing.
"Wes asked me yesterday. An unusually calm voice, "If Barton has another 'person' like you." The brief pause represented what James was really trying to say, the vampire, "It's not you, it's someone else, wouldn't I be a little better." β
Zach was relieved that Wes did what Zach had asked him to do, "Oh, what a coincidence. Zach squinted his eyes and said with a smile in his tone, "And how did you answer?" Zach really wanted to know the answer.
"I won't care about the fire case. Seriously, if he had used this method to get along with Zach a long time ago, he wouldn't have been so aggrieved.
Zach was stunned, and he could only swallow it, "Well, I'm glad you listened." β
"But the fire at the Smith warehouse, I'm not going to put it down. "It's still calm.
Zack's brows immediately furrowed, and the corners of his eyes twitched unconsciously, "Why." Zach's tone was not good. Because as everyone knows, when James "kindly" informed Zach Coleson that he was connected to the Smith warehouse fire, Zach stimulated James because of his own emotional relationship, which is equivalent to facilitating the connection of two unrelated fires. At least James, who knew that the fire had nothing to do with it, did not interfere with his partner's actions.
"Because the media is focused on this. β
What the hell is this answering?
Zach's brow tightened, "James, you know what's going on in Smith's warehouse, don't do things that don't make sense." Dylan ......" Zach shook his head, "it was an accident. β
"That's all, nothing else. Nothing else hangs up. "Objectively, don't blame James for not telling Zach at this time that Smith has two young ladies who are not human, he is in the police station, and there is only a limit to what he can say. Subjectively, everyone is free.
Zach held the earpiece that had already been hung up, pursed his lips, and hung up.
"What is Detective Reims ...... about me?" Moreman asked, still sitting across from his desk, as Zach finally finished the call. But what he cares about is really not important, so no one cares if he is interrupted.
Benjamin stood beside Morman with his plate, looking at the seat occupied by Morman, and the meaning was obvious enough.
"Then, then I'll go back!" Morman glanced up at Alpha, immediately bounced, said goodbye, and went out. Leave him alone.
Benjamin, who sat down, glanced around the office, chewing food in his mouth, and gave his assessment of Grande's new office, "It's just flipped in the direction, nothing has changed." "Nonsense.
Zach immediately threw away any previous emotions and nodded with a smile, "The original is good." I thought you would avoid me for a while, for the sake of appetite. β
Benjamin shook his head, "No, there's a new smell everywhere, I'd rather find a familiar one to sit in." "Ignoring Benjamin's bluntness, there is no doubt that when he speaks of this new stench, he means 'General'......
Zach smiled helplessly, "I'm going to have a good chat with you about the 'general'......"
Benjamin waved his hand, looking like he knew everything, "No." The corners of his mouth twitched, and he made a dissatisfied expression, "Since he is here, you better not say it." β
Our vampire handed out a look of relief, you know my eyes.
"I have other things to say. Benjamin fiddled with the contents of the plate, and I would mention this detail, because it was a bit unusualβhe pushed aside the meat," said Sbella, who was too lazy to repeat. And a little bit, it's an accident. β
Zach had a curious look on his face, "Is it the reason you took so long to come back?"
Benjamin nodded, "I don't think you want outsiders to hear about it, so I didn't mention it." "Naturally, it refers to Morman, who just left.
Benjamin continued to fiddle with the food a few times, handed the last piece of non-meat to his mouth, and put down the plate, "At the border of Barton, while fighting the other werewolves, I was hit by ......"
The phone rang.
Benjamin tugged at the corners of his mouth and said, "Illusion, Remer's illusion." β
Zach's eyebrows had just moved, and Benjamin had already stood up and picked up the plate he no longer ate, "You answer the phone, I'll go and ask Alice to do something else." "Let's go......
"Uh......" Zach watched as Benjamin walked to the east side, in the direction of the reference that used to be Grande's office, correct, but now, in the wrong direction, "Benjamin, that's the showroom." β
Benjamin spun around, raised an eyebrow, and said, "I know." β
Zack smiled and shook his head, it's not a shame, Zach made this mistake too, remember.
"Grande ......" picked up the phone.
"It's me!Cousen!" the voice in the earpiece was urgent, "Lance told me, 'General'......"
Zach could understand the eagerness, but, "He's not fit to show up right now, Detective Corson don't inquire, for his safety." β
"I know, I know!" still eagerly, "just...... Uh, do you know where he is? Is it safe? I need to see him! I have so much to ...... Can Mr. Grande arrange it?!Can you confirm that he is still alive, and you must be able to contact him!Can you contact me for me?!Let us meet first!I promise!Make sure that his safety comes first!"
Zach pursed his lips, and he wondered if Curson could force his attention to James and the 'General' if he could have forced his attention away from the 'Smith warehouse' in the media spotlight.
Under the incessant, eager urging and pleas from Corson's side, the thinking came to fruition.
"Okay. I'll see what I can do. Zach replied. (To be continued.) )
