Vol 10 Chapter 26: Two secretaries

Louise didn't return overnight, which worried Zac. But calling Walter over, Maggie didn't know the reason, only that they hadn't returned. Zac can't do anything. Fortunately, worry is not a security issue, because unless Walter does not want to live a good life in the real world, he will not let any bad things happen to Louise ~ this is just a simple logical judgment.
Before James went to work, he routinely talked to Zach, "Before noon today, your TV should be able to receive Republican TV channels." Oh, this time, Republican TV channels subscribe, "If you don't receive it, call the TV!" Go to work.
Alice also routinely surveyed Zac and then went to Parker Elementary School. Cyrus, who came to work, went to the display counter. Zac continued to have nothing to do, watching TV in the entertainment room.
The phone in the office rang and Zac answered it. "This is the Grand Funeral Home ..."
It is already a model. It is difficult to finish the opening of Zac's funeral home. It will always be interrupted directly, and then the person over the receiver will directly enter the topic. But not this time.
"What can I do for you?" Rarely after saying this, Zack amused himself, and suppressed his voice in the office smirking. Don't vomit the strange uncle who is alone and lonely.
"Zacary Toledo. Or I should call you Mr. Grande." Female voice.
"Mr. Grande will do." Zack smirked. "Are you?"
"Lily, I'm Secretary of Mayor Lesenbla."
"Oh." Zachillo was surprised, not expecting to receive a call from this character, "Is there something wrong?"
"My daughter was taken away by social workers early this morning, and I want to know why."
Zac raised his eyebrows. Vega City ’s movements were really fast. Yesterday, he only told James the advice, and he started to act there this morning ... Oh, right, social protection for children who ca n’t get a healthy growth environment is basic. Operate and move fast should be James. It seems that last night, during the time of Zac and Ian's "reminiscence", James did not occupy Zac's office in vain.
"You should ask the social worker for this question, not me." The reason why Zac said this is that he doesn't want to grab the credit ~ ... Nearly a hundred interracial families in Vega City will lose their children's credit for the next few days. James's ~
"I asked, and the answer I got was that the kindergarten teacher reported me, saying that I had taught my daughter what she shouldn't know about death, the death of mankind. Social services determined that I was not suitable to continue to be my daughter's guardian."
It seemed that Zac cared about the details. Holding the earpiece and waving his hand, "Oh, then I really feel sorry for you. Do you have anything else?"
There was a silence on the receiver for a while, "It's not just me, my friends, who have experienced the same thing."
"Okay. I really feel sorry for you, you guys." Zack's defense did not leak.

I ’m the mayor ’s secretary. Although I do n’t have much power, I have at least the opportunity to inquire about something. Mr. Grande, you do n’t have to hide it. I know this, it ’s not that Vega ’s social service suddenly wanted Give those children a 'normal family' environment. It is the Vega police who are abusing their power and coercing social institutions to commit suicide actions due to their own inability. "
"Wow." This is a compliment, but immediately, "I am not the Vega police, I am the owner of the Grand Funeral Home, have you made a mistake?"
"Do you want me to treat you like a dead end. Okay." The voice over the receiver listened calmly. "As I said earlier, although I have no power, the mayor's secretary is still relative to civilians. Some advantages. So, the information I got from the Vega police is that this operation came from the city of Button. "
"I am not a city of Barton, I am one of countless citizens in Barton."
The receiver was quiet for a while, and then, "as the mayor ’s secretary, one of my daily tasks is to deal with the chores that the mayor is too lazy to do personally." To a ridiculous cheque taught to an alien who is seriously deprived of sleep. "
Wait a minute! This secretary Lily is talking about the reward for cursing the phone at 4 a.m. every day, was she sent it?
Zac raised an eyebrow and waited for the follow-up.
"If you answer my question, I will be happy to forget this little thing from now on." Little pause, "Can we reach an agreement on this, Mr. Zachary Grande?"
After an extremely fierce psychological struggle, Zac agreed.
"Okay." It's not a waste of time at all. "Why should I take my daughter."
"Do you want your daughter to lose her mother again?" Zack asked rhetorically.
The response was quick, "I have experienced an attack, I survived, and now I know what I might face, I will continue to live."
"The other victims are not as lucky as you, they did not survive."
"I'm not going to discuss with you what" Dao Li "is. I don't care about other people's life and death. I'm just a mother asking for answers. You let me lose my child. This is a personal grudge."
"It's really interesting for you to mention private grievances. I only concluded private grievances with your boss yesterday ~" Zach almost skewed.
"Don't care. I didn't ask much. You made me understand why I should suffer the loss of my daughter. I will follow the deal." Oh, of course, this secretary Lily, it is not clear about Zack and Ruth's personal grievance What is it.
"Yes, it's not difficult." Zac adjusted the sitting posture while holding the earpiece. "You just said, this is the action taken by the Vega police due to their lack of ability, which means that you understand that this is to solve the case. ,Right."
"I understand that it does not mean that I agree, I also said, this is a personal grudge, I don't care about the truth, I don't care about solving the case, I only care about myself now."
"You admit it, call me to ask for an answer, just an emotional behavior, right?" Zach's logic is correct.
"Yes. I was a mother who had just watched her daughter taken away, and I was allowed to be emotional." The words in the earpiece were awkward and super calm.
"Then no matter what I say, it's impossible to satisfy you." Don't worry, Zac didn't finish. "Unless, I promise, when the matter is over, the case is broken, your daughter can come back to you."
The receiver is quiet. After a long time, "You are right, no matter what you say, it is impossible for me to be satisfied. Except for this commitment." The voice in the receiver is calmer, "but you and I know that you are not capable of making such a commitment at all. You are just a funeral owner in Barton. "
"Then remind me, this guy who is just the funeral owner of Patton City, how could you lose your daughter in Vega City?"
The daily mode of calling Zac is quiet. Not long, five or six seconds, "Mayor is right, Torrido is a dangerous creature."
"Thank you. Is our agreement still in place?"
"Established, as long as you can fulfill your promise."
"Okay." Zack nodded. "I believe you as the mayor's secretary are not idle. This call should have delayed your time. There is no need to continue wasting your precious time."
The receiver over there naturally understood that this was Zac's farewell. However, "I'm on vacation, the mayor is seeing his father, I will only hinder." May just say it casually.
"Oh." Zac raised an eyebrow. "Then enjoy your holiday, Lily."
"I will, and I will wait for you to fulfill your promise."
"Well." Zac put down the phone. After a moment of thinking, he picked up the handset again and called Vega's Charlie.
Although Zac had boasted confidently on the phone just now that he had the ability to influence a city thousands of miles away, in fact, Zac had no clue at the time to fulfill his promise. If you think about it now, it depends on the Grande subordinates in Vega.
The phone was not picked up, and Zac was not surprised. Last night's words to Ian, about the fact that Toledo will always be burdened and bullied, with the appearance of Rut Lembranbra's father, Charlie should be the first to feel that he is Toledo painfully.
So Zac left a message, "It's me. I want to ask how Logan's exploration of Vega's alien race is going on? Recently, Vega should have many interracial families that have lost human children. Let him inquire. , May be able to have a guiding role in his future life as an alien. In addition, let him collect the reactions of those alien families to the loss of children. Well, no need to call back. You are safe in Vega City. "
Putting down the receiver, Zac thought again and started calling Nick Giovanni's phone ... No, it was Zac's own phone in Vega. What has to be said has nothing to do with the promise, Zac just wants to ask about the news of the ancestor of Lesenbra.
After waiting a full minute, Zac put down the receiver and left no message. Shaking his head to leave the office.
The phone rang, and Zac answered quickly, "Grand Funeral Home." The opening was again fully spoken, "Can I help you?"
"Zha, Zac?" Female voice.
A slightly familiar female voice, but Zac couldn't remember where he had heard it.
"It's me, are you?"
"Me, this is Gina."
It's really ...
"Well, you, you may have seen me? I, I don't know if you have seen me ... me, I am Mayor Anthony's secretary."
"I know who you are." Zac's voice was calm.
"Oh, great! You know me!"
Zac doesn't know what good this is, but now he can only keep his emotions stable and listen to what the person in the receiver wants to say.
"Me, I don't know who else I can find! I ... I ..." I spent a long time, as if it was a sentence that came out after endless difficulties, "Me, can I ask you something first? You, Are you human? "
Zac did not answer this question, but, "If you have more accurate doubts about my identity, say that more accurate content, I will answer you again, yes or no."-Only then can I confirm that Gina knows what!
"Okay, okay! Are you a vampire? Or a very powerful kind? What, what ... Trust, what the second generation of trust? Theoretically the strongest Federation vampire generation ?!"
To be sure, Gina knows a lot, oh, the theoretical federation is the strongest, and how good it is.
Zac's answer-"Yes."
"Ah! Most importantly, are you Anthony's friend ?!" As if to cry, "Please say yes ..."
"I'm Anthony's friend." Zac frowned, as there was a breath of complete relaxation immediately over the receiver.
Things are confusing.
"Listen!" After relaxing, the woman over the receiver was nervous again. "I don't have much time! You need to help Anthony! He can't continue to be the mayor of Button! He is in danger! You must help him!"
"Slow down." Zach is trying to be patient. First, "Where are you now? Are you safe?" Confirm the conversation environment first-for vampires, another flaw in the phone, at least for now, Zack is in the background Hear nothing useful.
"No ... I, I don't know ... too many people want to catch me ... I ..."
"Who wants to catch you?"
"Everyone! Including Anthony!" The earpiece seemed to be crying again, "He doesn't know that I'm helping him! Zac! Listen! You can't tell Anthony that he can't be the mayor of Button! That will make him more involved. In the big danger, you know, no, there is an organization called the Demon Feast that is forcing him to be the mayor of Barton! They are next to Anthony! They occupy our city! You ca n’t let them discover that you want to help Anthony! That ’s even You! The strongest vampire can't compete! Zac, do you understand what I'm talking about ?! "
Uh ... Does Zack understand what Gina is saying? Do not! Complete, don't understand!
"I'm trying to digest." Zac stared at the phone, trying. "Then tell me why Anthony can't be Mayor of Barton. In order to help me better help Anthony to lift the danger." Everyone can think of this situation Next, is there a better way to ask?
"Because of the magic feast! They are preparing to make Button the one they ..." Suddenly stopped, and then extremely anxious, "Listen to Zac! You must help Anthony! You cannot make Anthony the tool of the magic feast! Please! Help him Now that the voting is over, find a way to destroy the voting results! Please! Anthony ’s future is in your hands !!! And, pay attention to safety! The magic feast is everywhere !!! I ’m leaving! "
The phone was hung up.
Zac blinked his eyes while listening to the beeping hang-up sound. This is really ... confusing.
Zac presses to hang up, then immediately dials again. After connecting, "Is it, Louise and Walter are back."
"Zac! I'm just about to call you ~" Maggie's voice, "They're back, Louise just went out and went back to Grand ~"
"Thank you." Zac was ready to hang up.
"Don't forget ~ Tomorrow's engagement party ~" Maggie added.
"I won't forget it." Zac put down the receiver and forcibly waited patiently--
Necessary, at least until Zac himself figured out the logic of the incident, Zac would not ask for trouble to tell Anthony the inexplicable phone call he just received. Zac, unable to explain Gina's words. Hopefully, Louise, who has not returned for the night, can come back with an explanation.
