Chapter IX Requirements

Probably to create a happy atmosphere for Blake, Zach also sat at the table, slowly cutting the food in front of him, everyone maintaining an inexplicable caring expression. Only old Hank, disgusted with the trouble and unwilling to shirk, silently dealt with the food on the plate.

"Alice, this is wonderful!" exclaimed Lola, "this is a hundred times better than what's in the cafeteria!"

Alice smiled, it was a pleasure to be able to see her friends at a time that wasn't a weekend.

Blake is polite and easy to like. Matthew sat next to him, always looking at the man who was only two years older than him with a wistful gaze, trying to find something to talk about, but not knowing if it would seem silly to say it. For example, what does a university look like.

Lola saw the struggle, and the girl stuffed food into her mouth while gesturing Blake with her eyes for something. After all, Blake's visit relied on Lola, so this referrer's request must be met by him as a friend. Before he can talk to Hank Sr., Blake needs to complete the task of helping Lola investigate one of the two people.

"James. Zach picked up the plate, "Let's not bother the young people, let's come to the office." ”

James frowned, he was unhappy with Zack's words, James thought he and Blake were the same age.

Great Dane Kim follows Zach into the office, which makes James a little wary, he is worried about whether Zack will know about a certain witcher and wants Kim to change his identity again.

James's worries were unfounded, and King's only purpose in entering the office was not to waste food. Zach put the plate on the workbench and watched as the Great Dane jumped onto the table, sat down in his office, and brought out the real lunch, with a look of resistance on James's face. to a glass of wine.

"Don't guess, just look at your face and know that you have something to tell me. Zach shook his glass and winked at James, "We're past the stage where we're going to test each other, so." The vampire looked at James's mouth pursed out in impatience, "I know about Seth." ”

James sighed. He arrived late, and rushed into the office to find Zack, only to find everyone gathered in the restaurant, and a strange young man - Blake Stone. It was said that it was strange, but the two had not officially met, and James was very familiar with this face.

Among the contemporary descendants of Barton's top class, this Blake Stone is the highest. Of course, the evaluation is also the best, don't forget, among the people of the same period. And then there's Poch Quinn who is all negative.

James's desire to speak in a brief moment of surprise, coupled with the news that Crowley deliberately released, Zach naturally thought that James wanted to discuss Seth's matter. It's just that the vampire misunderstood how James knew this.

Zach had already told James Seth of his identity, so he was locked up, and naturally, James would definitely pay special attention. A demon hunting demon is locked up in a detention center, what a thing to note.

"Don't worry too much, he won't do anything out of the ordinary. Zach smiled comfortingly. "He is more 'human' than we are. ”

Another benefit of facing on an equal footing -- this kind of thing is no different from self-blackening -- you can also say it at will.

James frowned and put the fork down. He had no appetite to continue eating. Forgive him, the ability to accept it is limited after all.

"How do you know?" said James, looking at Zach, who needed to know where Zach came from, selfishly to protect his partner, Detective Cowson, from facing these aliens. It's complicated, I know.

"Crowley. Zach shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "We don't want to care." He looked at James with a chuckle. "You know, Crowley doesn't think much of this guy. As for us. Zack's eyes drifted, and he remembered Constantine's relaxation when he heard Seth's news, "It has nothing to do with the Grande House, why should you be upset with us." ”

James stared into Zach's eyes. Although he knew that it was ridiculous to try to decipher the vampire's feelings, he was willing to believe the sincerity of the vampire's expression at this time. Because if it weren't for the relationship between Detective Cousson and the 'General', James certainly wanted the social gangsters who broke the law and be punished as they deserved!

James was sure that Zach didn't know the whole story, and for obvious reasons, Crowley didn't know Wells, the former civil servant who had completely ruined his life because of Papa Midnight and Grande plus himself.

The young detective bowed his head slightly, his lower lip was buckled into his teeth, and his eyes kept flashing under his furrowed brows.

The reality is so helpless, finally accepting that the complete world has sunshine (people) and shadows (aliens), and now James wants to show the real dark side of sunlight in front of the shadows.

"What's wrong?" Zach's brow furrowed, he felt James's tangle, "Is there anything else I need to know?" The vampire's sensitivity to human nature had to be convincing.

James's gaze shifted to one side, as if he didn't want to say, "I, I need you to get him out." "When you open your mouth, the rest will be easier.

James frowned at Zach, "That's not all. In Zack's somewhat surprised raised eyebrows, the detective continued, "I need you to erase the whole incident and disappear." ”

Zack's fingers tapped on the wall of the glass, and with a crisp sound, the red liquid rippled and spread inside.

Want to see what vampires really think?

Zach didn't think it was going to have anything to do with the Grande House, because it was the General's man. So in Zach's mind, this matter will be spread out at their professional party at the latest on Sunday night, at the regular meeting of [Bobo Bar].

Everyone needs the 'General', so everyone in this circle will do their best to help the 'General' solve this trouble. Although Crowley did not elaborate, the worst-case scenario of going to prison already shows that this is beyond the normal process.

As a 'newcomer', Zach naturally won't get out of the way. That's what Zach meant when he replied to Crowley, 'Let's talk about it then.'"

But Zach would never have imagined that such a request would come out of James's mouth. It's still so completely 'erased'.

The blood-red plane, still dangling in the ripples, slanted between the vampire's lips.

"Good. As soon as the red mark left the wall of his mouth, Zach nodded in agreement, his gaze wandering over the food in his glass. Returning to James's face, "Now, allow me to ask, why. ”

James's cheeks rose and fell as his pursed lips twitched, and the detective nodded, the expression on his face hard to describe. The gaze also took off Zach. Moved to the side, didn't even focus, just stopped somewhere.

"Do you remember Wells?"

Although James's state is obviously problematic, fortunately, his thinking is clear enough to know where to start, and he can minimize the guilt in his heart, yes, guilt. Think about this qiē from James's point of view.

"Yes. The civil servant with an average attitude. Zach nodded, his face calm. This civil servant almost ended the vampire's immortality.

"Former civil servant, now a homeless man who is nothing. James corrected Zach's words, "The civilian you used as bait, but was actually Papa's midnight bait." ”

"Are you blaming yourself?" Zach frowned, because the Grande House was facing Papa's midnight calculations, he didn't pay too much attention to James's thoughts, but tried his best to get rid of James's entanglement. In a more extreme way, the responsibility for the shattering of Wells' life was piled on James.

The Grand House is for helping James solve his suicide problem. was caught up in Papa's midnight calculations, and Zach almost died because of it.

James shook his head, not in the negative, but not wanting to continue the topic. He continued, "Seth, the General's men. It was Wells who they wounded. ”

The cause and effect of the incident became clear in Zack's mind, and the vampire tilted his lower lip and shook his head.

James's narration next only made Zach feel helpless. The relationship between Detective Cousson and the 'General' inevitably came up in the incident, but Zach was not surprised. The 'General' was able to enter Nobel Repett's circle with the business of providing only low-level labor. It can make Crowley feel special, and it can already explain something very well.

What really made Zach look at it differently was the 'enlightenment' of Wells, an inconspicuous guy. Well, how reliable can a person who has been seduced by a 'cult' be? This guy who has nothing is probably just treating the present as another lottery ticket! If he wins, it will be a matter of fame and fortune.

He will be the first to stand up to the 'evil forces' in the southeast of the North District, and the benefits are the huge compensation he has paid in the lawsuit.

If he doesn't win, hehe, what is the point of a person like him whose heart is flying in the sky, living like this?

Zach chuckled, "James, forget about this man. I'll take care of him. ”

James looked back at Zach, the furrow between his brows not unraveling, "What are you going to do?" ”

"James. Zach shook his head with some amusement, "I've told you many times, don't think of me as inferior." Zach casually pushed the glass aside, blinking his pale red eyes obediently, "He'll live well, I'm sure you'll come to me, just because of the eyes of charm." ”

James did not deny that the Eyes of Charm were so convenient that they were capable of convenience.

"For me, it's also an opportunity to sweep away the tail that was left behind. Zach thought for a moment with a smile and asked, "You know I don't like hospitals." When is he going to appeal. ”

This is what makes Corson upset, because the 'General's men' have all pleaded guilty, and once the trial begins, there is no trial, only a verdict. It was a foregone conclusion, and Wells created an undying rival for himself while gaining fame and fortune.

"He's not in a state of fitness that allows him to go out and do things right now. James's brow furrowed even tighter, "So there won't be any progress for the time being." But our police have already arranged for someone to protect him in the hospital, and even if he is discharged from the hospital in the future, he will go directly to the witness protection process, and the guards will be tighter. ”

The helpless reality, no one thinks, but it is necessary. Wells is a burgher, 'general' is, uh 'general'. The Barton Police Department is a 'shoulder' that citizens can rely on.

Zach tapped his finger on the table and said with a smile, "For the sake of my game-night companions, I think this obstacle must be overcome." ”

Well, it's just a 'companion', but Zach believes that a 'friend' is not far off. (To be continued......)
