10 brothers
"James. Zach stood inside Benjamin's warehouse door, looking at the three people sitting on the back porch, a strange middle-aged man, Benjamin, and finally Old Hank, who looked at the man with strange eyes. The vampire shook his head and continued, "Jeffes, do you know how stupid your actions are?"
James didn't speak, he also stared in that direction, the man dodged Old Hank's eyes, and kept looking at Benjamin with a strange expression, and the warehouse, barely wanting to say something with a good smile, but he looked like he wanted to say something.
"If he's really alien, you've already gone to see Crowley. Zach smiled and waved his hand across the back porch, the words in his mouth were cold and gloomy.
James withdrew his gaze, the disgust on his face flickered, and he retreated into the warehouse, retorting in a gloomy and angry whisper, "What can I do?
Zach also stepped back a little, so that the people on the back porch could no longer see this side, turned to face James, looked at James, who was obviously in a terrible mood, and suddenly felt funny, "Huh." Alright, James, thank you for bringing him here, and you don't have to worry about the rest. ”
James glared at Zack with a look of disgust, "Do you think I want to take care of it!" After saying that, the detective snorted heavily and walked out of the warehouse, glanced at the back porch, pulled the corners of his mouth, sat back in the car, and drove away.
Zach raised his arm, shielded himself from the sun, smiled, trotted onto the back porch, glanced at Benjamin who shrugged his shoulders, and his eyes fell on the face of the man who was immediately nervous and expectant, "Drake, right." ”
Derek was visibly nervous, his outstretched palm rubbing against his leg, nodding, and his voice was a little high, "Yes!"
"Zachary. Zach was very thoughtful and dropped his last name. Such a meeting is awkward enough. There was no need to make the atmosphere worse, Zach stretched out his hand, as if he was already familiar with the other party who was sitting down, "Everyone calls me Zack, how about we go into the house?"
"Zach!" Drake misunderstood and shook Zack's hand. "Everybody calls me ...... Derek"
Zach was stunned, the smile on his face was much more natural, and he pulled the other party up with force, "Come in." Don't forget to glance at Benjamin, "You're together." ”
Benjamin pouted, slapped his thigh, stood up impatiently, and the three of them pulled open the back porch door. Inside.
"Hank?" Zach asked suspiciously, looking at Old Hank silently huddled next to him without saying a word.
Old Hank's wrinkled face tightened, this was his stern face, and he roared abruptly, "What's her name!"
"Hank?" Zach frowned, looking at the strange old man who didn't know what he was thinking.
"I'm asking you!'s name!" Old Hank ignored Zach and stared at Drake, "Your mother!"
Drake frowned. Also looking at the old man who had been staring at him from the beginning, "Lydia." ”
Old Hank's expression softened instantly. Every wrinkle on his face slackened, and he turned his head away.
Zach pursed his lips, he received the message. Ignoring Old Hank, he patted Drake, who looked abnormal, and stepped through the door.
Entering the office, Zach hesitated slightly. Instead of sitting behind a desk, he sat on a workbench by the bookcase with Benjamin and Derick.
It seemed that no one wanted to say the first word, and the three of them looked at each other.
Alice held the tea tray, silently placed it in front of the three of them, and ran out quickly with her head down.
There is something new. All three of them began to look at the cup in front of them, and the silence continued.
I don't know how long it has been.
"That's ......" Someone finally spoke, it was Drake, he held the teacup in both hands, his head bowed, and an awkward smile in his tone, "This is definitely not the way I want to meet, hehe." "Pick up the tea and take a sip.
Vampires follow up, not now, then it will be embarrassing forever!
"Hehe, I can imagine, hehe. Zach also held the teacup, "Detective Lance, woo......" Zach exhaled, "He can be very ...... sometimes" Zach said.
"Too nervous. Benjamin added.
James Reims is the key to the dialogue between the three 'Grandes'!
"Yes, yes. Drake's cheeks twitched and he smiled bitterly, but he finally relaxed.
Now is the time. Zach reached out and pressed his hand on Drake's arm, as if patting him comfortingly, "But I really hope you can forgive him, he doesn't have any bad intentions." ”
Half an hour ago, his face was still on James's car door, and he was forced to question by the young detective without knowing what was going on!
"I ...... Belch. Drake frowned, he wanted to ask, but he didn't know whether to ask or not.
It doesn't matter if he wants to ask or not, Zach has to explain, for himself, for James, and for the real Grande in front of him. It was precisely because of this last 'real Grande' that the vampire knew that he couldn't use the Charm Pupil!
"Well, yes. Zach used a somewhat hesitant tone, "We Grande ......" Zach glanced at Drake apologetically and changed his words, "We have a special relationship with Detective Lance. ”
Zach looked at Benjamin, his eyes signaling that the guy, who didn't like acting much, should at least cooperate.
Benjamin pursed his lips and pushed the cup in his hand, "We are his informants." ”
"Benjamin!" Zach used a reproachful expression, then looked at Drake, who was a little surprised, and tilted his head helplessly, "Yes." Zach lowered his voice and said slowly, "You're coming to Barton for the first time, you may not know, recently, there was a ......"
"Prisoners. Benjamin seemed to be disgusted with his brother's ink, "Escaped from prison, it just happened to be the ...... we helped catch it"
"Benjamin!" Zach was pleased with Benjamin's expression, but still used a reproachful tone.
"What!" Benjamin stared at his 'brother' impatiently, "I'm going to sue him anyway!"
"No, no need!" Drake looked at the two brothers a little nervously, of course, he had no idea that these two guys were just deliberately feeding him the news and deflecting the facts. He only knew these two brothers, one was cautious and rigorous, the other was rough and direct, but they seemed to be good people.
"You don't have to tell me this!" Drake stopped the two of them from continuing to tell him this kind of confidential matter, and he was just a stranger to himself, but he could feel that these two people really didn't think of themselves as outsiders. This feeling is very strange, very, very, comfortable.
"I don't blame Detective Lance!" Drake looked at the two of them, the misunderstanding had been resolved, and he wanted to quickly put an end to the topic, "He checked my papers, confirmed my words, and brought me here!"
The 'careful' brother, Zack, smiled, the atmosphere was not so awkward, and he said in a relaxed tone to his acquaintance, "That's good, hehe." So, how did you get to the east? You're too far wrong!"
Drake felt the relaxed atmosphere, but he was embarrassed again, "Maybe I'm also deceiving myself, I don't dare to come here directly, so I asked clearly, Gran...... There is also a branch of the funeral home. ”
Zach raised an eyebrow, it turned out to be a mill to the east. However, Derek's statement is a little special, self-deception, I am afraid that he already has Grande's business card, and he was timid and hesitant for a while, not knowing how to go, so he took a small detour, wanted to relieve it, wanted to know more about the current Grande, and gave himself time to prepare.
Drake frowned and clenched the teacup in his hand, "As a result, I only dared to go around outside and made up my mind to come over." He laughed self-deprecatingly, "Lost." ”
The three of them laughed, laughed, and lost their voices.
"That. Zach suddenly raised his voice, "You must be tired!" Zach stood up, "Let's get you a room and get some rest." ”
"I ......"
"No, no!" Zach smiled and began to signal to Benjamin, "You can't refuse, come on!" Zacra walked over Drake's arm, "I'll show you around!"
Unable to refuse, he had already been Zakra, "This is the office." ”
Zach took Drake and patted the chair in front of his desk, and said the next words very smoothly, "Our father made it himself. Zach smiled and pointed to the other furniture in the office, "Most of the furniture was made by our father, and this is what he left behind, oh yes, and old Hank." ”
Drake's heart was beating a little fast, and he was a little stunned the moment Zach spoke. He didn't expect that his identity would be accepted by the owner of this place so quickly. But immediately as Zach pointed to all kinds of furniture, his mind was no longer entangled in these, and he followed Zack's voice and looked at the furniture made by his father's own hands.
As for why Zach accepted Drake's identity so quickly, in fact, the vampire has no choice, James, the police detective, has already been checked, and this young police detective is 'responsible' to check all of Derek's documents, how can he refuse?
"Oh, old Hank. Zach's tone was relaxed, waving his hand, "We'll call him Daddy Hank in front of outsiders." Zach blinked, pulled Drake across the reception room, in the direction of the exhibition hall, and lowered his voice, "After all, he's the oldest one here!
Zack's hand touched the coffin on display in the exhibition hall and looked at Drake with a smile, "It's weird, but a good guy, you'll find it." ”
Drake looked at the coffins around him, and there was clearly something in his eyes.
Zach laughed, "Every day, old Hank would be here in the morning to wipe the coffin, and in the afternoon in the woodshed behind the backyard, which was boring, and I think he would like to have a companion." ”
Drake looked at Zach and nodded, "Thank you." ”
Zach smiled and beckoned, and walked back, "Keep up, there are still many places, let's go outside first...... Uh, no, let's go to the restaurant, I don't like the sun. Zach touched his face, blinked, and said seriously, "This face can't stand the summer sun." ”
Derek smiled, the other party was already introducing himself sincerely, and he was a very good person to get along with. Luckily, Derek liked the brothers and followed Zack. (To be continued......)
