4 Louise
James thought a lot, for example, how the director of Cologne was disgusted that he actually came with Grande, 'Isn't he just an informant, you need to be protected like this?' and how Zach taunted him, "I cured you, sorry, my memory is a little blurry, can you restore how I treated you?"
But when I stepped into Grande's backyard, none of the above happened.
Director Cologne was sitting on a bench in the back porch, disturbed by Alice, "First, sir, are you sure you want to wait? yes, do you want to have lunch with us, I don't know when my brother will be back." β
Zach wasn't there, and James quickly dodged the director's gaze, "Love, Alice, where's Benjamin?"
"James, you're here, oh, and Benjamin isn't here. Alice winked her eyes, and the devil knew what she was saying.
Director Cologne's face began to show mockery - James knew this family well, because-
"Oh, James, have you had lunch? Alice seemed a little disappointed that James didn't react to her look, and said casually, continuing to Cologne, "Well, sir, if you leave a message, I will pass it on to my brother for you." β
"Alice. James pursed his lips, "He's our police chief, Cologne." β
"Oh!" Alice blinked, stunned. Our banshee sister has her mind stuffed with too many things at once - Barton's highest enforcer has come to Grande, and Alice has broken it.
"Bureau, Director!" James adjusted his mood and took out two surveys, he had to explain the reason why he came, and it was not something he could control whether the other party believed it or not, "I'm the one who was the friend." Friends dragged and came to deliver things. β
The director of Cologne did not want to pay attention to him at all.
"Alice, where's Louise?" James did his best, pulling Alice, who was still stunned.
"Oh, Louise, it's still down there!" blurted out.
When Director Cologne gave him a strange look, James's face darkened, "Basement." She meant the basement. Beware of any doubts about being caught by the director, James dragged Alice into the back door and lowered his voice, "Can I go down?!"
Alice nodded, her eyes widened, and she spoke in an angry voice, "James, what are you doing here?"
James was not ready to answer, but asked rhetorically with a grimace. "Is there anything you can't find out about the director? "It's just a regular taunt, we know, James can't say Zach, it's okay to bully Alice.
I didn't expect that.
"Well, Zach went to the Southeast, helped the 'General', and some of the gang members who died in the Southeast were taken under the sea by Mermaid Morman. "Of course, the air sound. Zach said that you police haven't found the bodies of those people anyway, and they can't be considered people who have really disappeared. It's a pity that the police are just missing people, and the police won't really look for them, whether it's for their families or for their lives. There's nothing wrong with turning it out and giving it to the 'general'. Well, so I went. β
James, open your mouth. After looking at Alice for a while, she went down to the basement without looking back. Since Benjamin is not here, then James can only see Louise, who can be counted as the master at this time.
If anyone wondered why James didn't care more about the director on the back porch, because there was nothing to care about, the director of Cologne made it clear when he was at Wes's house that he wasn't going to tell James why he was here. The only thing James knew was the vague 'medical experience'.
Pushing open the basement door, James was also worried about what he saw, but fortunately, Louise was normal, lying flat on the stone platform in a daze.
"Louise. James frowned tentatively and exclaimed, "You, are you alright?" β
"It's good. Louise glanced sideways at James, "Give it to me." β
James pursed his lips and handed over the survey in his hand. At this time, Louise is no different in appearance from the woman James first saw in Grande's office sitting across from Zack's desk and recounting her experience. But Inside, James looked sideways at the mirror in the corner, and the gray shadow was scattered. James knew, something different. It's a bit of a different kind of emotion, and I can't express it.
"It's ...... Jason asked you to send it?" Louise glanced at it and came to the right conclusion.
"Yes. James answered, watching Louise rise from the stone platform and look around as he muttered to himself, "I remember where there was a pen here." β
James also began to look around, and found it first, "...... here" James walked towards the old container, but a plaster shadow was drawn in front of him, and this plaster shadow was drawn back again, and it became Louise sitting sideways in front of the stone platform, and the investigation was laid on the stone platform, and the pen was already in his hand, and while filling it out, he seemed to still be muttering to himself, "No...... No...... Well, it's still not ......."
James really didn't know what his emotions were, and watched as Louise quickly filled in the survey, "Uh...... Jason said......"
"It's not advisable for us to change the insurance agreement, right? Louise actually smiled and looked at James, "He's right." Hehe, he guessed that there was no overlap between Grande's insurance and the cemetery's security company, and Grande didn't need to change anything. β
"You, do you know it's because of the Saidil Security Company?" James frowned, he hadn't said anything yet.
"Didn't Alice just say that Zach went to help the General. Louise still smiled and shrugged her shoulders, "Zach isn't happy about the expansion of the Aix Security Company, but it's not entirely for the 'General'. Well, it's just that the new employees, you know, the former Hermann employees, are particularly sensitive to the safety aspect. Louise looked up and looked helpless, "We don't want Ax to go to Grande to make some trouble, the graves of those West End people." Louise shook her head, helpless.
Recall that it was Louise's idea to recruit new employees, and it was also Louise's idea to work with a security company, but now it seems to have become a problem.
"Zach, will ......" James wanted to ask Zach if he would do anything to Aix that he wasn't a detective out of the way to know, but, immediately, he realized that it was pointless to ask. He shook his head and swallowed back.
"What do you want to say?" Louise filled in quickly, already filling in the second page, casually looking up and glancing at James's constipated face.
"Nothing. James took a deep breath and adjusted his mood. "That, the Cologne director above. He paused, tentatively, "Did he say anything when he came?"
"Nope. Louise has been acting normally, "I just said that I was looking for Zack, and I heard that I was not there, so I sat there and waited, and then you came." By the way, do you know what he's here for?"
"I don't know......," James frowned, "I don't know." But he went to Wes's first and asked me something inexplicable. β
"For exampleβ" Louise noticed that the last signature was needed for the autograph of Grande's master, Zack, and the tip of the pen swiped a few times in the air, practicing Zach's handwriting, and by the way, lengthening the end note, motioning for James to continue.
"He asked me if Zach had any medical experience. James watched as Louise put pen to paper, very smoothly to Zachary Grande. This detective doesn't shy away from it. Ay.
"Medical experience?" Louise looked up again, handing back the completed survey. "What medical experience?"
James could only explain more specifically, "He found out that my injuries were healed and asked me if I was cured by Zack. This explanation is tinged with resentment.
"Oh!" Louise winked at James and suddenly smiled, "And how did you answer?"
Please understand one thing, Zach will not spend time with Louise sitting in a daze. Whatever Zach knows, Louise knows. So Louise's smile is absolutely cute for James, a guy who doesn't know anything.
"What else can you do!" said James, displeased, tugging at the corners of his mouth, "what are you laughing at?" Is this something to laugh at! He's probably seen my medical records! My wounds can't be healed! To be repaired! It's ribs! Here it is!" James pointed to his chest.
"Okay, okay, I don't laugh. Louise smiled, it was a question that wasn't meant to be laughed at, "yes." Louise frowned and began to think, "In terms of medical experience, Zach has it, didn't he pretend to be a military doctor on the battlefield before." Then he looked at James, "You shouldn't have said it was from Zak. β
First of all, Zack's identity as a military doctor is fake, an illusion maintained by the Eyes of Charm, only to provide a layer of protection for Zach to mingle with a group of people who will die and disappear at any time, which does not exist in Zachary Grande's life.
Then, James's injury, in this world, even the medical treatment that can heal the flesh and flesh damage is more to prevent infection, provide wound protection, and speed up the healing process. The process will be slower.
James's face was gloomy and irritated, "I know, but you don't know what happened, I can only answer like this!"
Louise shook her head, "Forget it, it's nothing. "Wait a minute, is it nothing?" asked the director to come and see me. β
"What are you going to do?!" James was instantly alerted.
"Correct your mistakes. Louise replied as a matter of course, and then glanced at the mirror in the corner with some helplessness, and the gray shadow flickered, "I don't dare to go out and see if I can survive in the sun, and the results here look like, uh, that's it." Tilting his head, "I want to try my other ability." β
A seductive pupil that manipulates memories.
James stared at Louise with wide eyes, slowly backing away, slowly ......
Louise smiled, "Teasing you, haha." Louise smiled and bent over, "You should have seen your face!" ha......
James pursed his lips, and although his backward steps stopped, his expression did not change. Truth be told, did James really know Louise, no. James' affection for Louise is based on the fact that they met and met humans at Grande, and then Louise saved his life (Rivench attacked James as a shapeshifter in his first appearance).
So James really didn't know which of Louise's words was a joke.
"Oh!" Louise noticed James's eyes, her face quickly lowered, and she frowned, "You don't believe me. β
"What am I going to believe?" said James and Louise kept their distances, equally composed.
"I was just kidding you, I can't just use the Pupil of Charm, I don't want to be like Ian (who made Brian), you should be able to think of it. Louise explained.
"I just can think of it. James's face became even more gloomy, "So he hasn't run away yet." I wonder if you're like Zach and you're sure you're going to use the Pupil of Charm completely. We all know Zach's attitude towards Ian, he didn't teach Ian anything at all, you're different! You're his Louise!What will you do when you get out of this basement?"
Eventually, James was emotionally out after hearing that Louise had become a vampire for the first time. See, above, this is a long way.
Louise's lower lip was subconsciously tapped against the back of her teeth, "James, what do you mean?"
"You heard it clearly, you're not the Louise I first knew, you, you're ......" James looked Louise up and down, very rude, don't learn, "Vampire ......"
"Get out. Louise looked at James without any expression and said these two words.
James regretted it, his mouth moved, and he turned around without saying anything.
As he left the basement, Louise's voice was behind him.
"James Lance, I'm Louise, now a vampire, once human, it's all me, Louise. "It's not over," I saved you when I was human, and I helped you say nice things in front of Zack. "Remember, Louise told Zach to relax with James more than once.
"I'm a good Louise. Now, I'm a vampire, but I'm still the same good Louise. β
James opened the basement door and walked out, Louise's voice continuing, "If you have anything else in mind. James Lance, you're the bad guy. Think for yourself. β
It wasn't James' turn to bring the door behind him, and the gray voice flashed back and forth, and the door behind James was slammed shut.
James pursed his lips, glanced back at the closed door, and looked up to get up to it, his gaze meeting Zack's gaze as he stood above the stairs and tilted his head to look down.
James skipped a beat, because the director of Cologne was standing next to Zack, and he was about to go upstairs to the office.
Zach withdrew his gaze from James, put on a smile that he had just retracted, 'It's reluctant,' and continued to make a please, "Sorry to make the chief smile, as you can see, Detective Lance isn't a welcome guest in the Grande." β
"I'm sorry for you. But the police department has always been grateful for the clues you have provided. Cologne glanced at James expressionlessly, then withdrew his gaze and followed Zach's instructions to go upstairs, "If Mr. Grande doesn't mind, I can change the operator for Mr. in the right of the director." I can assure you that it is secretive, safe, and there will be no adverse reactions. β
"Oh?
"Of course, I'm the chief, that's my police station. β
James's human hearing could not be heard, and went up. (To be continued.) )
