Chapter 135 Ambush
Josie’s friend living in Brooklyn is naturally only Peggy Carter, who should theoretically live in the apartment where the US team once lived.
"Huh? Keep driving, don't stop!" However, as soon as the car approached the street near the apartment building, Vito on the co-pilot sensed something was wrong, and immediately told the driver.
When the driver heard it, he didn't stop, but drove at a constant speed, bypassing the apartment area.
"What's going on?" Josie asked with a slight wrinkle.
"Boss, it seems that someone is following you over there." Vito said with a slightly serious face.
Josie was taken aback when he heard that, Peggy Carter was being targeted?
But with her job, this kind of thing is normal.
"... find a place to stop, you go and see, who is it!" Josie said thoughtfully.
"Yes, Boss!" Vito nodded, and when the car was ready, he got out of the car, walked lightly, and slowly approached the apartment pretending to be a passerby.
Josie waited in the car with his eyes closed.
In just ten minutes, Vito returned with a strange expression.
"Boss, I figured it out, it's from the council!" Before Josie could ask, Vito had already spoken.
"Huh? People from the council? Don't they want Bucky? Why are you staring at Carter?" Josie was puzzled. After the meeting, he reminded Vito of this matter, although all the directors on the council I have already stated my position. In theory, no one will trouble Vito, but what if some crazy person appears under one of the directors?
Although the top management of the council is generally quite reasonable, but because of the particularity of the organization, it is hard to guarantee that there will not be one or two crazy people.
It's never a bad thing to be a little defensive.
"I have inquired. Mr. Barnes and Ms. Carter are now colleagues and partners, and they both live in this apartment, so during the time they were following Bucky, they even followed Ms. Carter." Vito Immediately explained.
"Bucky and Carter are living together?"
"Um, no, Mr. Barnes just moved out of his home after returning to New York and became Ms. Carter's neighbor!" Seeing that Josie had misunderstood, Vito couldn't help explaining.
Josie understood now that Bucky and Carter have become colleagues, partners, and neighbors.
Although there may be no accident between the two, it is hard to say if it continues.
And speaking of it, this is also his fault.
In the timeline without him, Peggy Carter should be the only person who entered the New York branch of the Strategic Science Corps at this time.
And because of the low status of women in this era, even if Peggy Carter made outstanding contributions in the war, she would still They will be squeezed out, and within the Strategic Science Corps, they can only be responsible for simple tasks such as paperwork or making coffee, and there is no possibility of going out to the field.
But in this time and space, because Josie put Bucky back, the situation is different.
Bucky, as a good friend of the American team, belongs to the second person in the Roaring Commando.
So after the war, he naturally joined the Strategic Science Corps and became a senior field agent of the New York Branch.
Its status is definitely not comparable to that of the lame Susa agent in the Agent Carter drama.
Actually, Josie should have known this a long time ago. It was just because Josie didn't pay special attention to Carter and Bucky's situation before, so she ignored it.
Just don't know if this change is good or bad.
"Boss, do you want them to withdraw?" Vito asked, looking at the pensive Josie.
"Did Carter go back to the apartment?" Josie asked.
"No, according to the news from them, Ms. Carter and Mr. Barnes are now eating in a vending restaurant two streets away, basically every day." Vito replied.
The so-called vending restaurant is actually an early convenience fast food restaurant.
The main thing is cheap and convenient.
Although she is a woman, it is no problem for you to let Peggy Carter wield knives and guns, cook? Save it.
Not to mention Bucky, his family conditions are quite good, he has a young master, that is, he has learned to deal with field rations during his two years as a soldier.
So the two usually eat fast food after get off work, saving money and trouble.
"Then did they say when they decided to do it?" Josie continued to ask.
"Yes... They waited for Mr. Barnes and Ms. Carter to have dinner together, and then they started to do it after they came back, because the location of this apartment building is relatively remote, and only Ms. Carter, Mr. Barnes and a small number of tenants live in it, so it is not easy to make a fuss Big news." Vito nodded and said, "And just after eating, there will be a burden on the human body, so it's a good time to do it."
"If that's the case, then wait, you go over and watch, and if there is an accident later, you can help... Remember to take medicine so as not to be recognized!" Josie ordered.
"Okay, I promise that nothing will happen to Ms. Carter and Mr. Barnes!" Vito nodded solemnly.
"What a mess, I asked you to help the council. It's true that Carter and I are friends, but they are just ordinary friends. It's not enough to ruin the council's affairs because of this relationship, let alone Bucky's. Live or die, don't care about us!" Josie rolled his eyes and reprimanded lightly, "Just to be honest, I really don't like the people sent by the council for a combination like Katgabaki!"
"Hey, I understand!" Hearing Josie's words, Vito scratched his head in a little embarrassment. He thought Josie was going to help Carter and Bucky.
"...Go ahead, but you still have to be a little bit measured. Bucky has a thick skin and thick flesh. It doesn't matter what the focus is. For Carter, try to knock him out as much as possible. Otherwise, he will be killed and disabled. In case Steve comes back someday , It is easy to cause trouble!" Josie waved his hand.
"Boss, you mean that Captain Steve Rogers is still alive and can come back?" Vito was very surprised when he heard Josie's words.
"Who knows, this world is far more complicated than what we have seen!" Josie said quietly.
Facing Josie's emotion, Vito was stunned, forget it, he'd better go to work honestly.
Immediately, he got out of the car, ready to find a secret place with a wide view to cat, and soon, he found a suitable place.
And Josie also asked the bodyguard in charge of driving to find a secret place to stop and wait for news.
About ten minutes later, Carter and Bucky's car drove slowly to the apartment building and landed.
"...Bucky, do you feel it?" Carter asked vigilantly as soon as the car stopped. At the same time, he reached into the open office suitcase and grabbed the pistol inside.
"Yes, there are more mice of unknown origin around!" Bucky in the driver's seat also stretched his hand to his waist—although he lost his left hand, Howard Stark also specially built a prosthetic leg for him. It is not much worse than the metal arm of the Winter Soldier in the original time and space, so there is no problem that one hand cannot drive.
However, it can be seen from the conversation between the two that they have already discovered that something is wrong around the apartment.
Therefore, it is not without reason that Josie is worried that the council's arrest of Bucky will fail!
