8 Friends who have disappeared for a long time
"Shall we eat deer at night?" said Benjamin, already rolling up his sleeves. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ ใ ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ๏ฝ
"Uh-huh...... Louise wordlessly pulled Benjamin around the deer carcass, "look here." โ
"'I'm sorry'. Benjamin read the words that had been written on the ground in blood, and looked at Louise, who had an expression of 'Can't you read?'
Louise already sensed that Benjamin's mind wasn't here at all, "Uh, somebody, left this here, I think it's a message." โ
Benjamin glanced up in Grande's direction, with a thoughtful look, but don't expect it, this is Benjamin. The alpha thought for a while, "Louise, I'm really hungry." โ
Forget it, Louise gave up, looked at the deer corpse again, and began to process this 'message', which must not be allowed to rot here.
Let's follow the hungry alpha back to the Grande. There was a 'guest'.
A strange 'guest'. When Benjamin returned to Grande, he was looking around the perimeter of Grande's backyard. The technique was a bit poor, and he thought he was very hidden, after all, the private house of Pochi Quinn in the east of the Grande had already started construction vigorously, and the east side of the Grande was full of people. It's just that this guy doesn't wear Falken's overalls, which is quite conspicuous.
Evan who came out of the shift without Benjamin opening his mouth and came back from his shift and took the initiative to sign in with Old Hank to report his itinerary (the itinerary of these former criminals should be recorded and handed over to the contact) looked at the strange guy obliquely, "Man, what are you looking at!"
Benjamin was too lazy to care, and walked directly to the back porch, the smell in the restaurant was too tempting.
"Oh, I'm sorry, is this the Grande funeral home?" the guy's nervous look only appeared for a moment, and then he walked over honestly.
"This is the backyard of the Grande Funeral Home!" was still a terrible tone, but the meaning was clear, wasn't it, "Please go through the front door if you have something." Although people who come out of prison still need some effort to be educated, but fortunately, there is enough respect. After Evan finished speaking, he looked at Benjamin, who had already entered the house, "Mr. Grande?"
Feeling Benjamin's back sigh, he pulled the corners of his mouth and came out again, looking at the strange guest, "Grande has been closed for the past few days, and needs funeral affairs, please go to our branch, or Ford Funeral Home." "Why isn't there an Allen funeral home in Benjamin's recommendation? It's not that Benjamin is careful, it's that Alan is also out of business. The reason doesn't need to be explained, it's in today's newspapers.
"Oh!" said unexpectedly a polite guy, "I'm sorry, I saw the sign at the intersection, but I'm not here for funeral business." Smiling at Evan, who was looking back at the living quarters with a slanted eye of repulsion, he walked over to Benjamin, "I'm here to find someone." โ
Benjamin was probably too lazy to speak, holding his arms and tilting his head, looking at each other, waiting for the next step.
"Wellโ" seemed a little indescribable, and the stranger hesitated, "I, well, my friend, disappeared for a long, long time. Well, that, he showed up recently, works here, and I'm here to find him. โ
Benjamin didn't say anything, and looked at Evan. Evan is also an interesting guy, don't look at that aggressive gesture, but gossip, standing still in the backyard, it means to listen.
And the reason why Benjamin and Evan reacted like this, "Your friend, name." Benjamin turned sideways again, knocked on the exterior wall of the restaurant, and gestured to Old Hank through the window - because don't be surprised, except for a few old ones who appeared in front of him, such as Evan and Logan, Benjamin didn't remember the names of all the new Grande employees!
Yes, Benjamin thought the stranger was looking for someone who had just been released from prison. Fits the description of 'disappearing and reappearing', doesn't it?
"Uh......" This stranger is also inexplicable, this is a simple question, Grande has taken in these former criminals, naturally he will not comment on anything, just a name, what is there to be embarrassed about, "uh...... I, I'm not really sure, I, can I find it myself?"
Benjamin tugged at the corners of his mouth, completely impatient, and waved his hand, "Evan, take this guy to the cemetery." "Aren't the new employees working in the cemetery, except for Logan, who explicitly told Zach that he has no relatives or friends?
After all, he had a little self-realization that he was 'Mr. Grande', and when Benjamin turned around, he frowned and asked, "What's your name?"
"Oh, Russell. "It's just that.
Benjamin didn't bother to bother and went back to the house. Evan didn't make any extra moves, and pointed west, "Come with me." The tone is not for the better, but for the curious.
This Russell is really a strange fellow, and after watching Benjamin's back turn to the dining room and disappear, he walked down the back porch with a complicated expression, and looked up at the sun overhead, the dazzling sun, and the light before winter.
Russell lowered his head, squeezed his eyes and looked directly at the sun, and still hesitated to speak, "Are all the employees of Grande in the cemetery?"
Evan's chin clicked to Grande's restaurant, meaning that there was also eating. But it was obvious that the 'friend' that Russell was looking for could not be in Grande's restaurant, but the guys in the restaurant, such as Mo, looked out curiously.
Evan began to walk west, but after Evan followed a few steps, he stopped, between Benjamin's warehouse and the warehouse on the south side, "I made up some of Barton's newspaper news ......"
"Patton's. The corners of Evan's mouth curled, some signs of danger, a guy who is proud of serving a prison sentence, remember, "You're not a local. โ
Russell opened his mouth, "Yes." "I don't know where the sight is, I am sure, "The news about Grande, except for the disappearance of Grande and the owner of Allen's funeral home in the newspaper today, a few days ago, it was ......"
Evan interrupted, "Do you care about Grande?" and there was a laugh in the question, a bad laugh.
Zach had been warned, didn't he, don't let these ex-criminals reach civilians too quickly, don't let them get too much freedom, don't let them feel like you're in control. But apparently, these new employees, for Grande only, hehe, respect. Then, these unnecessary things can only be used for this kind of 'lost' guest, isn't it?
Russell didn't seem to notice it, or maybe his mind was no longer on it, "Well, right?" I haven't seen my friend in a long time. He shook his head quickly, as if he didn't want to go into a certain topic, and continued what he didn't finish, "A few days ago, it was reported that Grande joined this, well, 'community corrections', because of Grande's newly built living quarters, composite structures, where is the living quarters?" To the right, Benjamin's warehouse, to the left, to the south of Grande's warehouse and the living area next to it. Russell's hand wrapped in a circle, "These?"
Evan squinted his eyes and tapped his hand left and right, "Do these two (warehouses) look like they live in?" Hehe. It's just that Mr. Grande is single and has an apprentice (Matthew) to live here (Benjamin's warehouse), and the other Mr. Grande, the missing one, Grande's real boss, has a girlfriend. "The logic is strange, don't pay attention to it. Then, Evan pointed to the living quarters, "That's it." Evan didn't kindly tell him, but, "Who is it?hah, is it xx?", he said his name, and sneered meaninglessly, "He looks like a guy who does a lot of, and he's not a Patton, is he?"
Russell blinked, as if he didn't know how to answer.
"Isn't it?" Evan continued to throw his name, "xx?mother-in-law, waiting every day in prison for someone who still remembers him to see him, is that him?"
Russell still looked at Evan a little stunned, as if he had just realized that the guy in front of him had squatted in prison.
"Uh, xx?" Evan's expression was also a little wrong, the guy in front of him seemed to be a little distant, he didn't know the situation in front of him, his face was too kind, "xx?xxx?!, who the hell!" suddenly shouted, impatient.
Russell subconsciously took a step back and looked at Evan, "For, why do you care about this ......?"
The neckline was directly caught, and the irresistible force pulled Russell into a threatening face, "I'm bored! I'm out! But I don't have freedom! I thought Grande was a good place!" As if he fell into his emotions in an instant, his voice was low and oppressive, "But when this kind of thing happens, the police will come and ask at any time! I want someone! Someone will give me something that Grande can't get, hum, 'something'! You! Hehe, you seem to be a good candidate! Outsider, no one cares! Heh! So!!" The force of the neckline increased, "Who is it?!Your friend! I will decide if you can meet your friend or not!'Community correction', right?Ha! If you want to have a normal 'community exchange' with your friend, just listen to me! Do what I want you to do! Otherwise, I'll let your friend go back to where he should be! You can continue to think about this 'friend who has disappeared for a long time'!"
Across the main building of the Grande in Benjamin's warehouse, in the dining room, Daniel's face turned gray, "Ben, Benjamin, you should probably go and see ...... over there"
"Don't care. Benjamin simply. And, old Hank, "What are you looking at??what's going on with the employees??"
After being glared at by Benjamin, "No, it's nothing......"
Come back.
Russell stared, feeling the oppressive breath spewing on his face, strange, no resistance, no fear, just, surprise.
Just when the atmosphere froze to a certain point, his shoulders agitated, his face began to be hideous, and Evan began to have a tendency to move next, "Evan!" Logan's voice.
Evan glanced back, and with a bruise on his forehead, he pushed Russell away.
"You can come back. Logan came over and said to Evan, "I'll take this strange friend to ......" and stopped, waiting for Evan to hand over the work.
"Go to the graveyard!" Evan grimaced as he walked back to make up for his work to Logan, "He's coming for his friend, hmph, friend who has been gone for a long time!"
Logan didn't have any expression, watching Evan pass by his side, his gaze stayed for a moment before turning to Russell, "Looking for a friend?" is confirmation.
Russell straightened his wrinkled neckline and nodded.
Logan didn't ask much, and pointed in the direction, "The cemetery is not far away, it's a little troublesome to pass the security guards, and a Grande employee needs to take you in." "It's also a reassurance, so that Russell doesn't worry about being threatened by the people who accompany him again," Ignore Evan. โ
Russell didn't say anything, followed a few steps, and looked at the constricted shadow under his feet, "Are the employees all working in the cemetery, now?"
"Mostly. Logan's answer was ...... It's not friendly, after all, the voice is naturally too low, "Shifts, and some are resting." And the question, "What's your friend's name?" is the same question. Only this time, for Logan, it was Evan who did a terrible job of handover.
Russell didn't answer, "Resting employees, are you in the living quarters?" and looked back at the living quarters.
Logan looked sideways at Russell, not knowing what he was thinking, "Yes." "We can't go out outside of working hours, except in the cemetery, we can only stay in the living quarters." The meaning of the words should be very clear, but Russell seems to have been strangely out of this-
"Can I go to the living quarters, my friend should be resting. Well, at rest. "I don't know what this repetition is emphasizing.
Logan didn't move forward, turned to look at Russell, who had stopped as soon as he spoke, and his body was trending towards the living quarters, and asked a very straightforward logical question, "Why? How do you know your friend is resting?" and again asked the question he didn't get an answer to, "What's your friend's name?"
"Uh......" Russell's patience seemed to be disappearing, after all, this experience in Grande was not very pleasant, was it, and he spoke a little fast, "Can I just go in and have a look, or...... Uh, do you have a staff sheet, I'll take a look, I'll make sure my friend is in Grande, can I?"
Logan frowned and began to move closer to Russell, "You can just tell me what your friend's name is, and I can answer you now, how about it." โ
"Uh...... No!" was a direct refusal, "Can you just let me make sure for myself! I don't want to cause trouble for anyone!"
"Trouble?" Logan approached Russell again, and his movements already had a tendency to be ready to do something at any time, defensive, offensive, depending on the situation, "What's the trouble with the name?" I'm sure whoever your friend is, he doesn't like trouble as much as I do right now, so why don't you just tell us, we don't have to worry about it......"
"Ugh. As if giving up, "My friend is not a criminal like you!" he missed a 'before', "so don't talk about my friend and you together!"
Logan was stunned for a moment, as if repeating to himself, "Not a criminal?" and he also missed the "front", and then frowned, "Who is it? Sam Leon?" The frowning eyebrows were raised, and Rogan looked up at the sun overhead, "Charlie." โ
Remember, the only clue is that it has disappeared for a long time, and among the Grande employees, except for the humans who have squatted in prison, only these alien-related characters can match this clue. So......
Logan looked back at Russell, whose face turned red instantly, "Your friend, it's Charlie, it's a vampire (foreigner)." "Audacity?" "So, you think he's never going to work during the day, right?"
Something magical happened.
Russell ran, throwing off his limbs, at the limit speed that a human could reach, and ran.
Well, now there's only one question, why did Russell want to hide Charlie's name, well, think about it, think again...... Wait a minute, Charlie, not in Grandry, where are you still watching the sunrise......
