21 Telephone
Grande's office. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Wes, angry and impatient, still couldn't finish what he wanted to say as soon as possible, "Aix Security actually refused to provide security records......"
The phone still rang. Zach made a helpless look and picked up the phone.
"Yes...... I know yesterday was ...... as well I'll ask...... Eun ...... hung up the phone, made a waiting gesture to Wes, turned his head to the west, in the direction of Grande's recreation room, and howled, "Kepler, your father asked when you were going home." β
Howling like Zack, the response was yes or no Kepler, it was Maya, "Don't let anyone go!!Unless we find that weak traitor among us!Don't even think about leaving here!!"
Zach got a response, again apologetically motioning for Wes to wait, dial, and be answered in seconds, "She's going to spend the night here...... Okay, I'll tell you, she's grounded...... Well, like yesterday, I'm going to separate her from the Yuri family's children...... Yes, you can ...... Good night. β
Putting down the phone and pursing his lips, just as Wes was about to speak again, "Lola and Kyle's house." β
Wes shut his mouth and stopped talking.
Explain the situation. Wes came, frustrated and tired, after the lights had faded from most of the homes in the Southside. He had been trying to explain to Zach the progress of the Republican case, but he was constantly interrupted by phone calls.
The mayor's phone, Aethera's phone, Caesar. Maitreya's phone, Yuri's phone, Jimmy. And just now Mr. Smith's phone call, for Kepler. That's all we can think of, right, it's just a replay of what Zach experienced yesterday. But it's also a little new.
John and Sbella's phone call for Alice. John was more understanding, simply provoking Zach, saying that if Grande could not provide Alice with a safe and happy environment to grow up, he would be willing to take over. There's a quote that goes something like this: "I don't know what happened today, but today Alice and the others have a weird atmosphere at school! Isn't it what you're doing again?" I swear if you put Alice in any danger......" Zach just hung up.
Sbella's call was a bit special - "Heh, I don't care if it's your assassination or not, just to inform you that Jessica, the fallen angel, has asked me to help find the missing soul in the bus incident." β
didn't even give Zack a chance to taunt 'If you don't care, don't spread it around', he hung up himself.
It's not over.
There was a call from Alan's funeral home, Hamilton, Nainard, Mr. Allen himself, and, hey, whatever it was there (Cyrus), it was there to call Grande Brill anyway.
Allen's phone call was brief, "My son is not safe. β
"Safe. "Hung up.
Hamilton's call, let's put it this way, Zach transferred it directly to Louise (discussing funeral work).
Nainard is more special, it's a plea for help, "uh...... Can you come for a moment? I, I really don't know how to get along with this Brill...... I, I don't feel like I'm compatible with Mokawi's attributes......"
"Come on. β
Brill's phone call was inexplicable, "I, hate, you." β
To understand why Brill said that, it will probably take until she comes to recover Charlie's memory. Anyway, someone is curious, at that time, he kept using the eyes of charm to repeatedly tell Cyrus that he was not a human Brill, and how did he finally show and let Cyrus realize the truth.
Still not over, everyone in the gang called Grande.
Maya.
"Should I be worried?" Yuehua called, "Maya asked her to do some witchcraft that wasn't suitable for her today, 'Tu Zhen', 'the Puppet', 'Torture'...... Something like that. This kind of witchcraft is not what her position should use, she is the attacker, like Baiying, direct, aggressive, and destructive, is the style she should adhere to. There's a reason why our Black Witch is in this two-person configuration, Maya is still growing, and I don't want her to go down any wrong path. β
Zach took a moment to explain to Yuehua.
"Oh, I can understand her reasoning, well, she's right, it's important, to the group she's in. Can't you help her?"
"I offered, and she refused. Zach replied helplessly, "She said to Alice's face that I can't be here all the time, they are black witches, don't rely on the power of vampires - I don't know the power of vampires who are still here in a few years." They're going to figure it out on their own. β
"Oh, then, good night~" hung extremely quickly. The sense of trouble is really incomparably sharp~
Next...... Until now.
Every member of the group became a reason to constantly interrupt Wes and Zack's communication, except that Zach had just said that the call from the Barton family had not yet arrived. Lola and Kyle, like children forgotten by their parents, look at the time, it's almost midnight, and a phone call to ask if they're safe hasn't come.
Zach pressed the phone, thinking about something - if the Barton family called, it should be Mrs. Barton, after all, it was Mrs. Barton who had been dealing with Grande, Lola and Kyle's parents, and Zach had not officially contacted.
The phone rang.
Zach glanced at Wes, who had given up and hugged his shoulders and closed his eyes, and picked up the phone.
"Lola and Kyle aren't there for you. "Not Mrs. Barton, it's Mrs. Quinn.
"Yes. Zach frowned.
"They're not going home tonight. There was no tone on the other side of the earpiece.
"Nope. β
"Yes, I think so. Tell these two little things that their parents are going to give them a month's grounding, me and Barton, and we two old women did our best for a week. But if they don't show up for the family brunch tomorrow morning, two weeks. β
"I'll pass it on. β
"Yes. β
Zach didn't speak with the receiver because Mrs. Quinn didn't hang up after that.
After a big yawn appeared on the other side of the earpiece, "I went to look for you yesterday, and you weren't there." β
"I heard Poch. Zach looked at Wes again. Normally, now is the time for Zach to ask someone out to provide him with privacy. But, Wes, Wes's attitude towards things, hehe, do you need it. Ignoring it, he continued to the earpiece, "I think if it's urgent, you'll come back to me." β
"Well, it's not a big deal, but it gave me a chance to see Pochi's house, hmph, and disgrace Quinn's surname. "Mrs. Quinn, who personally cut off Poch's financial resources, is so 'convincing'. After a pause, "I'm some, angry." β
Zach could feel that it had nothing to do with Poch anymore, "Because of what?"
"You. Mrs. Quinn on the other side of the earpiece was obviously doing some private business, and she knew the background sound of Suosuo, not very real, "pretending to be dead." β
Zack's mind was turning quickly at this moment, and he could already predict the direction that Mrs. Quinn might go in next, so, preemptively, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it, but I'm sure you can understand that I don't need to spread it around." β
There was silence on the other side of the earpiece, and after a long time, "It's just understanding that I get angry." Let me ask you one thing, suppose you are a dying human being, fate has made you see a 'Son apparition', so that you meet a different 'person' from you, a 'person' with eternal life, one thing after another, you temporarily come out of the shadow of death, thanks to this 'man', and the relationship with him is becoming more and more complicated, until, you get a 'deal', you can also live forever. β
It seems that there is no point in apologizing first, and Mrs. Quinn is bound to finish venting her emotions. That Zach, as it soundsβno doubt, Mrs. Quinn had been waiting all afternoon yesterday for this matter, and she had been holding it for a day, let her out.
"You are preparing for this eternal life, using your dying body to feel everything that is not yet immortal. For example, eating the republic's characteristic dim sum, forcing a second spring (Mr. Pine) despite the age gap, and having the courage to go against the god of In'an, who occupies half of my blood (Quinn is just exaggerating, he is really not an opposition to Pochi and Papa Midnight). Then one day, you are told that the 'man' who gave you eternal life. "Deliberately stopped for a long time," died. This long assumption came to an end, "How do you feel?" β
Zach pursed his lips, "I'm sorry. "I still have to argue for myself," I faked death, and it was very clear from the beginning, only those who had to know (the feast), and those who absolutely could not know (Eli). In the middle, everyone, in fact I didn't force anything. In fact, I think many people have already guessed halfway through that I will return. And, Poch knows, so naturally I think, and you know, that I don't really need to take the extra risk of informing anything. β
"Very well, you helped me with the hypothetical stuff. Mrs. Quinn on the other side of the earpiece was still silent, "I did know that for a long time. But, what am I to you. What you just said, 'All in the middle'. "I think, as the one who almost got you out of that ruined funeral home that was nothingβ" How did Grande's story begin? By the way, a dying old woman came to Grande to give a funeral for her husband, who had gone a long time ago. The story that was marked by Madison in Volume I, "I deserve a higher position." 'In between'? 'Everyone'?"
It's been a long time since we reminded everyone that there will be people who take themselves as 'characters' and mock everything!
"Am I missing something? James Lance who tried to call himself 'Kim', Louise who played with fire on the side of the road, who ate onion rolls in Detective Cowson's car, hehe, the Great Dane now. What did I miss when I came out, why did these guys who are nothing become the people involved in everything in this story, you, the people around you. So, what about me?"
It's starting to get serious.
"Maddison wrote well, it was me, my commission, that started a new process for Grande, and I was the most important character. But why, now, I'm becoming, heh, 'in-between,' like those Barton aliens that Madison doesn't even bother to tell his readers by name. β
Zach frowned and glanced at Wes, the thing was actually asleep.
Adjusting the posture of holding the handset, "All I can say right now is, I'm sorry." I'm also sorry that you didn't know the truth from me personally, and I can totally understand the unease that you only know what I'm doing from Poch. β
"Feeling uneasy. There was a sigh from the earpiece, "yes, uneasy." β
Sublimate it. Madame Quinn has just revealed one thing, right, that she is the one who freed the inhumans in the Grande...... Now look at Barton.
Keeping up, can you grasp the root of Mrs. Quinn's need to vent this emotion at this point - she is the origin, she has opened, uh, the clichΓ© 'Pandora's box', and now she can only look at the box, this lack of participation, is unease. Uncontrollable uneasiness.
Both sides of the earpiece were silent, and after all, the two understood each other, and there was no real accusation.
Mrs. Quinn broke the silence and concluded the above with "I still want to enjoy my limited life, you don't have to worry that I am asking you to change in the near future...... Whatever you want to call it. β
"Just do it as you please. β
"Yes, finally. Tut. "I was starting to get impatient, and then another sleepy yawn, "You must be wondering why I called you and not Barton." "Take back the sovereignty of a character who started it all," asked me. β
Zach was cooperative, "Why did Mrs. Quinn, and not Mrs. Patton, call?"
The earpiece should be satisfied, "Because the Patton family is reassessing you, the value of Grande to them." Oh, your brother, Derek Grande. With a slight pause with a smile, "I'm holding his information, it's a long, twists and turns in life, I've been reading it all night." β
Zach frowned, "Did Mrs. Patton give it?" β
"Not so. "Even though you've done the Patton family commission (Kyle) perfectly, let's not kid ourselves, your Grande's rule of 'don't answer the process, only give the result', left a bunch of uncontrollable factors. Specifically, Barton's heir, Kyle, has committed a crime. β
It's time to recall. At that time, the commission was completed by having Kyle write a plan to get revenge on Connor in his diary, telling the Barton family that the child had psychological problems, so Kyle was sent out of Barton. However, Connor's ending is possessed by Ryan and finally burned to death, in fact, it can't be Kyle's doing, it's a hunter, and it's an extreme murder by an illegal armed group in people's eyes, but there is this huge, inexplicably suspicious space in between. This is what Quinn calls the uncontrollable factor.
Zach was quiet, already guessing where the words were going.
"Now the Barton family has something to control this instability, Drake. Barton (Mrs.) intervened and gave it to me, citing my experience with Grande. None of us think you're in the mood to get to know Lola and Kyle's parents right now. β
Zach responded, "I don't want to. β
"Well, that's it. I'll be the messenger between the Barton family and you, hehe, as if I hadn't been doing this work all the time. β
"What are you going to do with Drake?" Zach could only ask, "he's just a normal human. β
"Now all I'm saying to Barton is to be cautious, so you don't have to worry about anything. "And, I guess, congratulations, your brother is about to become famous, in Barton." Hehe, just received a notification from Barton that he had just completed an 'impossible operation' at the hospital. β
"Uh, thanks. β
Good night? No, it's "hung up." "Nothing more polite.
Putting down the phone, Zach looked back at Wes, "Wes." "The other party didn't respond," Wes. Wes. Wei ......"
Zach shook his head, what kind of energy was wasted. Skirting his desk, he picked up Wes, who looked like a dead pig, and walked to the master bedroom.
