Silver Blade and Rose

"Don't be so serious, I didn't do anything bad to you." Grant was somewhat aggrieved, and said helplessly, "And there is no resurrection at all, I just didn't die from the beginning, didn't I?"

"Edwin found your body," Zales said.

Grant raised his eyebrows: "He really told you everything."

Zals frowned, and he immediately surrendered again, explaining: "That is indeed my body, I was forced to abandon it and find a way to change my body, so you can shake my hand now."

"...I don't really want to shake your hand." Zales said.

It was just that he was afraid that he would run away, so he held on to him.Zales wanted to notify Edwin, but there was no way to do so under Grant's nose, so he quietly put his hand in his pocket, unlocked the phone and pressed the emergency call button.

Since the last time he went to Hope County, in order to be able to contact Edwin in time, he set the emergency contact to the other party, and it has not been changed until now.To be honest, Zals had no confidence in whether Edwin could receive the call in time, but Grant's appearance was not an ordinary emergency, and he had to notify the other party.

After all, as far as he knows, Edwin is still accepting some people's notarization because of the incident caused by Grant, and those people are difficult to deal with, and there will be no way to solve it for a while-if Grant is still alive, these things will Edwin should not bear it at all.

In Zals' view, Grant's behavior is equivalent to throwing all the troubles he caused to Edwin, while he ran around freely, and still wanted to make friends with Lilian as a fitness trainer , It is very irresponsible.

He didn't intend to let Grant run away again, but this was in his house, and he couldn't let Lillian or Bill get hurt by his decision.

As if he knew his doubts, Grant offered to propose: "Let's go outside and talk, after all, it's not convenient here."

Zales told Lilian to stay at home instead of running around, then went out with Grant, found a nearby cafe and sat down.

"Ice Americano, thank you." Zales said to the waiter.

Grant ordered a cappuccino and sat across from him smilingly watching him.

"You have a good relationship with your family."

It was originally just a harmless compliment, but it sounded like some kind of threat to Zars.He frowned and looked at Grant, warning each other: "You are not allowed to get close to Lilian and Bill, or don't blame me for being rude."

"You've been very rude to me." Grant said helplessly, "It's the first time we've met, and we've lived in the same room. Shouldn't we be closer?"

"Don't be too close, I'm not interested in talking to you about this." Zales interrupted him, "Tell me what's going on with you."

As he expected, Grant didn't intend to tell him anything at all, and made the most childish excuse: "You treat me like this, I don't want to tell you."

He made it clear that he didn't want to say anything, and Zars couldn't help it either.Just as the coffee was delivered, he took a sip and then turned to ask the waiter who was about to turn around and leave: "Do you have any sandwiches or bread?"

He hadn't eaten for a long time, and he was hungry. Since Grant seemed to waste time with him, he didn't mind having afternoon tea here.Coffee is actually not his favorite drink, but since he entered the cafe, it would be nice to have a cup of coffee and something to eat.

Maybe, if he sat here for a while longer, he could still wait for Edwin.Zals thought silently.

He ordered a smoked chicken and veggie sandwich, looked up at Grant, who was still smiling at him, and asked, "Do you really want to know that much?"

"Whether I want to know or not has nothing to do with whether you tell me or not."

Zals is not interested in continuing to play word games with him. If he doesn't want to talk, then it's not a problem for them to spend two hours talking to each other in silence.If you keep playing with Grant, he will always have a sense of being fooled and powerless, which is really boring.

Although not obnoxious, he instinctively disliked Grant.The other party was very different from what he had imagined. He had thought that Grant would be a conscientious person for his work, and there must be some difficulties in the accident, so he died with regret as a last resort.However, in fact, the other party was still alive and well, and even leisurely came to his house to observe whether the successor was really suitable, and looked at him with a joking attitude.

He didn't like it very much.

In all fairness, Zals admits that he is indeed not a competent new assistant. Edwin has helped him a lot at work, and he is definitely not as relaxed and comfortable as when Grant was there.But in his opinion, Edwin, Sanchez, even Munn and Hannah, each of them can say that he is not doing well enough, and Grant is the only one who is not qualified to judge this.

He came from a police academy. Although he didn't become a policeman or a soldier, he still treated others with basic standards. He didn't like deserters, and he didn't like people who came back as if nothing had happened after they escaped.Before Grant confessed his motives, Zales didn't really want to communicate with him. He just wanted to protect his family and prevent them from contacting Grant. If Grant couldn't say anything, he didn't intend to continue. Waste time on each other.

The sandwiches and coffee that were taken as afternoon tea were quickly digested. Looking at the wall clock on the wall, it was already 05:30 in the afternoon.Zals took out his cell phone from his pocket and pressed it on. Just as he was about to leave first, the cell phone in his hand began to buzz and vibrate. Even Grant, who was sitting across from him, raised his head and looked at him with interest. .

The call just now was disconnected at some point, and the caller ID flashing on the screen was Edwin's name. Zals pressed the call button and brought the phone to his ear: "Edwin."

"Where are you?" the other asked him.

Zales didn't mention Grant's name, but said, "It's in a cafe near me, and I'm planning to go back."

"it is good."

Edwin didn't say much, and immediately hung up the phone.Grant sat on the chair and asked half jokingly and half teasingly: "So inseparable, I urged you to go back in one afternoon?"

I don't know what Edwin's call meant, but Zals felt that he might come, so he leaned back in his chair, drank the last sip of coffee that had become room temperature, and waved to the waiter: "Excuse me ,Continued Cup."

"Aren't you ready to go?" Grant asked.

"It suddenly occurred to me that you didn't say anything, so you don't want to leave." Zars looked at him, deliberately putting on a posture that he wanted to spend time with him until the cafe closed, "What if you run away again? I can't find you, what should I do?"

Grant laughed, as if he thought it was amused: "If I want to run, can you still stop me?"

Before Zals had time to say anything, he heard the door of the cafe being pushed open, and the wind chimes on the door jingled for a while, and someone answered for him in the sound of the wind chimes: "He can't stop you, but I can."

Edwin declined the waiter's hospitality, walked towards their table from the door alone, looked at Grant who was stiff all over, and smiled.

He was wearing a simple black shirt and trousers, but standing in the store was like a natural light source, even the waiter sister who offered to guide him just now was still watching him secretly with other girls.Zars didn't speak, and quietly raised his eyes to look at him, and the next second he felt his slightly cool palm on his shoulder, and patted him gently soothingly.

"Long time no see, partner." Edwin kept his hand on his shoulders, leaned over to Grant, and deliberately lowered his voice, "Your 'death' really caused me a lot of trouble, no Are you going to explain it?"

His tone was soft, but both Grant and Zals could hear the displeasure in it.Grant subconsciously wanted to say something to defend himself, but those words that worked well when facing Zars didn't work for Edwin at all. He knew how difficult the other party was to deal with, and ordinary excuses didn't work at all, and Even with his hands, he is not Edwin's opponent at all.

It's useless to talk or do it, he can only choose to leave a little leeway for himself, and discussed: "Shall we... go back and talk?"

The so-called "going back" of course refers to going back to 179 Rockhill Street.It used to be the place where they lived together as partners, and it was also an absolutely safe place. Grant thought that the most dangerous and safest place in the entire city of York was probably No. 179 where the person in front of him was.

He has absolute confidence in Edwin's ability, and at the same time, he also knows that the other party is a huge time bomb, so he didn't tell Edwin that he faked his death and left.But now seeing how the other party protected Zales, a newcomer, Grant suddenly felt that Edwin might not be incomprehensible to what he did.

Escaping is impossible anyway, so it is better to find a helper for yourself.

An hour later, Zales drove the two back to Gate 179.

He answered at least three calls from Lilian on the road, and was repeatedly asked if he had fought with Grant, and if he mentioned the injury, remember to go home and let her bandage it. Dispute lost job and so on.Because of her anxiety, her voice was a little loud, and Zales' cell phone was a little old, so that Edwin and Grant in the back row could more or less hear what she said.

"...I'm fine, and I didn't fight with him, I just talked about some things." Zales parked the car on the side of the road, and took the trouble to reassure her, "I really didn't lie to you, I have something to do today, I'll go back and see you next time, okay?"

Lilian still didn't believe it, so he had to hand Grant the phone, motioning for him to appease the lady, and he still had to drive.

Grant hesitated for a moment, but took the phone and said a few words to appease Lilian on the other end of the phone, saying that he was really fine, and he didn't do anything with Zales. And now it has been perfectly resolved——

"I never knew before that you have such a good eloquence."

After he hung up the phone, Edwin said lightly.

Grant's back was stiff, and he said bravely: "It's just facing the lovely lady, subconsciously trying to appease her emotions..."

Zals gave him a warning look in the rearview mirror, and Grant was afraid to speak.

He was like a lamb on a pirate ship, he didn't dare to move because of Edwin's presence, until the car stopped at the gate of the yard, Grant seemed to suddenly find the topic: "Ah, is Cerberus still there? It's been a long time Never seen it."

Zars unlocked the car door, and before the two people in the back seat got out of the car, Cerberus had already run over from the dog house, lying on the car window and wagging his tail at him.

"Wang Wang! Wang!"

Zales touched its head and motioned it to turn to look at Grant: "Look who is that?"

Grant got out of the car in cooperation, opened his arms towards the big black dog, and waited for it to give a long-lost hug, but Ke Er was not as friendly as he imagined, and guarded Edwin who got out of the car in the attitude of a protector. Behind him, he showed his fangs and barked at him twice.

Zars was also taken aback. Didn't he say that Cerberus and Grant have a good relationship? Why does it seem that they are very hostile when they meet for the first time?

"You used a shameful method to change your body. It thinks you are an evil spirit." Edwin said lightly, and reached out to touch Cerberus' head. The big dog seemed to have been certified by its owner, and it was no longer fierce. barking at Grant, but still watching him warily, without any of the familiarity he had shown him before.

Grant said helplessly, "I have no choice but to do this..."

"Come inside if you have anything to say." Hannah slammed the door open, and stood inside the door looking at them expressionlessly. "If you stand here for another 5 minutes, the neighbors may call the police."
