2 The beginning of Sunday
Let's make a list of what's happened in Barton lately, oh, thanks for the reminder, there's something that makes sense by putting together a list of events, and it's called a newspaper. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
There's something like this in Grande's office, okay, let's get started.
First of all, it is the date on the right side of the top of the page, the unit of time, the year, month and day, which is used by human beings, is irrelevant, the important thing is that this is a Sunday when everyone rests together with the Holy Lord of Creation, and spiritual belief is always higher than the day by day, right~
And then there's the bold font that hasn't changed for decades, the Barton Daily, the logo, the slogan, the editing, the omission, because it's hard not to draw attention to the huge front-page photograph that occupies three-quarters of the pageβ
Manors, red carpets, crowded vehicles, chaos and complex crowds, and ambulances......
Wait a minute, let's save this front page for the end.
Skipping the huge photo for the time being, down the simple and practical black dividing line, several juxtaposed small pictures guide the reader to the corresponding layout.
The first, don't be too surprised, is a photo of a nursing home in the Southern District, with the title "Mentally ill Patient About to Be Discharged Committed Suicide, Dean Green Excuses Responsibility". Does anyone want to go through the details, no? Okay, the next one.
The photo shows the port of Massa, where security personnel in different uniforms are negotiating something, with the title "Continuous theft of Massa Port, security company completes handover". Got it, got it, everyone expected it, no one cared, the next one.
It seems to be a real estate agent somewhere, "There are frequent transfers of properties in the Southeast, and the purchaser is a republican". It's none of our business. Next.
The picture is somewhere on Liszt Street, and Kozil's sign is the focal point, the title, "Kozil Women's Clothing Release...... I know, let's look at the last one.
The picture is very, very familiar to Grande, "The funeral industry has been suspended, and the Grande funeral home is not affected".
If you ignore the black-and-white photograph that deliberately accentuates the atmosphere of the funeral home, this is a good photo, and the elevation angle makes the Grande's building appear tall and wide. It may also be that the publisher deliberately cut out the part of the head-up angle that can see people.
It's about Grande, please have a snack, let's turn to the second edition of 'People's Livelihood Insights', the space on the left, let's take a look at it with a little patience.
*...... Following Allen's first report of theft in the Southern District......* Allen is pictured sitting on the steps of the home as employees close the door to the funeral home.
The author of this story is Kate, so don't expect anything.
*...... Allen and Ford's funeral homes submitted financial audits to the city government...... with a picture of Mr. Ford lying in the hospital looking through documents.
It should be able to see that someone is deliberately creating an atmosphere, after all, this report does not mention that it is clearly Grande who submitted the first financial review, and this picture is also deliberately mistimed.
*...... Grande's cremation division, the 'mill', which has a partnership with the Southern District Police Department, was the first to announce the cessation of cremation operations...... * The picture shows Madison frowning at the camera with a hat on his back.
*...... Following Allen's announcement, Ford also announced the suspension of cremation operations, suspending all funeral services and retaining only the morgue, which is still part of the public service......*
The picture, absolutely no good intentions, is a perfect funeral for Grande - this is the whole record of the funeral that has not appeared, Kate used it in this kind of place, yes, there is hers.
Thank you for taking the time to get a feel for the atmosphere that Grande is about to be in, back to our original purpose, Barton's list of events, and back to the huge photo on the front page.
"The Fall of the Laying Family, the End of Bisharp", this is the title.
It's a bit sensational, a little deliberately eye-catching, because obviously in the photo, the big man in fancy clothes is watching from afar, wrapped by the surging reporters, driven out of the road to the ambulance by the police on the red carpet, and quickly pushed by the uniformed ambulance crews, the person lying down, the last one is Mr. Bisharp - Mr. Bisharp, is clearly not covered with his head, and the man is not dead at all.
Even better, the one who was pushing the stretcher among the ambulance personnel was a woman who was too beautiful, and even in the dynamic movement, the clear face that was successfully captured by the camera was a throbbing and worried face, staring at Bisharp who was almost hidden by the infusion bottle.
What man doesn't want to have such a beautiful woman by his side in the worst moment?
Let's turn to the social version, the first thing that appears in front of us is the beautiful woman covering her mouth sadly, slumped at the end of the red carpet, looking at the ambulance in the distance. The caption in small print reads, 'Bishop's fiancΓ©e was refused to accompany him to the ambulance because she was not yet a legal relative of Bishop'......
"Is this today's paper?" Zach walked into the office, glancing at old Hank, who was sitting in his place. Yes, we're actually watching the news exactly to the liking of old Hank.
"No!" Old Hank replied with a childish lie, without looking at Zack. Don't even think about taking the newspaper away until he's finished reading it!
"Okay. Zach walked towards the phone indifferently, "I heard the phone ringing, it's late, did you answer?"
Old Hank was expressing his interest in chatting with Zach in the simplest of silences, and raised his hand to hit the answering machine.
Believe it or not, this is the manifestation of old Hank's closeness.
Zach shook his head, sat down on the side of his desk, and pressed the answering machine.
"I'm looking for Alice!!" Lola's voice informs the listener not to be sentimental.
Zach tilted his body, walked past the old Hank, who was reading the big news on the front page in the middle, and patted the summoning bell.
Before the colored dots of light that responded to the call gathered into Danny's human form, Zach spoke, "Looking for Alice, Lola's message." β
"Oh. The colored light just dispersed and floated away.
Lola, who left a message, was counting the time in a whisper she thought she wouldn't be heard, as if she was really waiting for Alice to arrive.
But after all, the girl miscalculated the time, and before Alice came up, Lola in the message had already spoken, "Alice, Teacher Cuisha left us a message, which they brought back yesterday from Charlotte, saying that she has always felt uncomfortable these days, and is going to go back to Newton to find her parents to live for a few days......"
Zach looked at the answering machine with no expression, this news was not worth exploring for Zack at all. He made it up, fake, non-existent, arranged to match Alice's lie...... You know what I mean, Trisha is still in Tam's belly, and Tam, who is helping Mo prepare breakfast in the kitchen.
"Parker Elementary needs help, but we're all grounded, you know, yesterday's ......"
Alice came up, heard this, and stood silently by the door without going any further.
"Charlotte and Tindy can still get out, but I'm really worried that there are just a few of them at Parker Elementary School, Alice, promise me, you take care of them, don't let them mess around, okay?"
Before the message was over, Lola's speech began to speed up, and she must have heard the time limit prompt, "Well, besides, tell Matthew that I don't care about any werewolves, I mean, uh, see Benjamin's, claws, paws, I'm not stupid! I can guess! So, tell him *beep-*". The message is broken.
Broken in a wonderful place.
Zach waited for a moment, waiting for the answering machine to prompt the message to end. No matter what Lola wanted to say without finishing it, it seemed that she had given up on making up for another phone call. Zach smiled at Alice, "You missed the first few words of Cuisha's news. β
Deliberately turned his gaze away before Alice began to feel nervous, and landed on the newspaper in front of old Hank, as if it was a simple newspaper that attracted his attention more, just missing Alice's anxiety. Sometimes, you have to admit how sweet Zach is, albeit with a very annoying purpose.
The words were still said to Alice, "It is said that Tsa has returned to Newton's hometown." He also added his own comment, "Isn't it too difficult to be a single mother soon, I should understand her, okay, it seems that the matter of Massa Harbor is going to be put on hold for the time being, hehe, and then you heard, Lola told you to take care of those guys at Park Elementary." β
Just then, after Alice exhaled in a relaxed breath, Zach looked at Alice again, "Do you want me to inform Newton of the Moonlight Hundred Shadows? Zach smiled lightly, "I think Maya will take the initiative to do this." β
This is a typical Zach, he will always give the other party a choice, but it must be, the other party's choice will definitely be what Zach wants.
"Maya can call. Alice made her decision right away.
Look, it's a good choice, Maya, who knows the truth about Trisha and knows Alice's lies, calls her, how good, Zach doesn't need him to do it himself.
"Okay. Zach smiled and waved his hand, "You go down and get busy, I'll have to go to Parker Elementary School in a while." β
"I, am I not grounded?" Alice suddenly turned into a puzzled look.
"Grounded?" Zach blinked, "Why?"
"Yesterday ......"
Directly interrupted with some amusement, "Yesterday's incident has nothing to do with you, on the contrary, you saved Bishop, why should I ground you." Zach raised an eyebrow, "But if you want to experience the grounding, I can agree." β
"Don't!" replied the girl, who had refused to step out of Grande, and ran away, briskly. It's really easy for a girl to get rid of.
Zach continued to harass Old Hank, "Have you finished reading?"
"No! Yes!" Old Hank flipped through the newspaper in a loud voice, and the second page was still the reward of the previous page, and it was estimated that the third and fourth pages were also the same.
Zach probably couldn't get the newspaper for a while, and flipped through the other things on the table, "What is this?" Zach held an object that looked like a postcard.
Old Hank didn't bother to answer at all, and Zach immediately understood why Old Hank ignored it. This is a postcard printed with a landmark building in a city in the middle of the country, and the person who sent it is the real son of Grande, Drake. Remember, the guy who came to look for his father when he was at a low point, only to find the old Grande cemetery.
Zach was surprised that this guy would contact Grande and turn over to see what he had written.
Quite scribbled handwriting, 'To the Grande.' I hope it won't bother you, and I think I should tell you how I'm doing after I'm gone, so that you don't worry. β
To be honest, Zach didn't care, when Drake came, Zach had already given all the options, and he himself chose to leave without disturbing Grande's status quo. But how to say it, the relationship between people, this is the ideal state, do not disturb each other, do not pay attention to each other, and occasionally come to say that it is good, it is enough.
'I've been doing well lately, I'm back at work, I have an adult agreement with my ex-wife, and the kids can come and spend time with me every other week......
It seems that the narrative that will be reduced to daily life has been skipped by Zach, and looking at the end, Zach is more concerned about whether the other party has left an address. If you leave an address, does Zach want a postcard back......
Ay.
The children seemed curious about Barton, you, my half-brother, Grande. If you don't bother, can you send a few photos of Grande's photos for the kids. Hey, I know, I tried to describe it, but they just wanted to see it. I think if this is an opportunity to teach children about death, about funeral homes, probably a good opportunity, I don't want to talk about some things in the hospital, I think it's still a bit early for children, can you understand? Excuse me, thanks, the address is xxx......'
This is no longer a courtesy reply. Zach frowned, inciting postcard thoughts.
Photos?Although Zach has the ability to take pictures now, he doesn't want to send his pictures to the middle, try to understand it! Toledo has disappeared in the middle for nearly a hundred years, and it is a picture that makes Zach, Toledo's face, return to the middle? It's kind of weird, isn't it?
Pouting, Zach had an idea. Glancing at Old Hank, who didn't mean to hand over the newspaper, he walked out of the office with a postcard. If you want to take a picture, take a picture, and Zach is the one who takes the picture, the perfect reason not to appear in the photo.
"Louise. Zach shouted as he went downstairs, "Do you want to go out for a walk? Let's go buy a ......" On Sunday morning, the funeral home was an informal day off, so Louise didn't need to stay at Grande on duty.
But Louise interrupted Zack's invitation with a single gesture, shaking the notebook in her hand, the Mother Teresa notebook, "I'm going to see Susan in the sanatorium, hoping that the affairs at the sanatorium will have no effect on her." β
"Oh. Zach turned to Benjamin, "We ......"
"Nope. "I will go to worship with Matthew and his father in a while, he has been a little nervous since yesterday, I don't want him to show anything in front of his father, the moon will be full soon." β
"Danny, do you want to go shopping?"
"Thanks, but, no. I'm going to the West End in a moment to see my friends. "What friend can Danny have, it's that wheelchair boy!
"Ink. Kozil's new outfit is on sale. Zach didn't allow himself to be more sad.
"Well-although it's tempting, but, I'm sorry, my drama will be simulcast all day on the weekend~so~"
It was already very sad, so the broken can was broken, and Zach looked at Tamm, looking, but didn't speak.
"When your is over, after I leave Grande, you give me two vials of your blood as payment!"
"A bottle. β
"Deal!" Tam is an acquaintance. (To be continued.) )
