Of course, the only friend Josie mentioned living in Brooklyn was Peggy Carter, who theoretically should live in the apartment where Captain America once lived.
"Huh? Keep driving, don't stop!" However, as soon as the car approached the street near the apartment building, Vito in the passenger seat felt something was wrong and immediately ordered the driver.
When the driver heard this, he did not stop, but drove at a constant speed, bypassing the apartment area.
"What's going on?" Qiao Xi asked with a slight frown.
"Boss, someone seems to be watching over there." Vito said with a slightly serious expression.
Josie was stunned when she heard this. Peggy Carter was being targeted?
But given her job, this kind of thing is normal.
"...Find a place to stop and go see who it is!" Qiao Xi said thoughtfully.
"Yes, boss!" Vito nodded, and then it was good to wait for the bus. He got out of the car, walked lightly, pretending to be a passerby and slowly approached the apartment.
Josie closed her eyes and waited in the car.
But only ten minutes later, Vito came back with a strange look on his face.
"Boss, I figured it out, he's from the board of directors!" Before Josie could ask, Vito had already taken the initiative to speak.
"Huh? People on the board of directors? Don't they want Bucky? Why are you staring at Carter?" Josie was confused. After the meeting, he reminded Vito of this matter, although all the directors on the board of directors
We have all expressed our opinions. In theory, no one will cause trouble for Vito, but what if there is a crazy person under one of the directors?
Although the top management of the board of directors are generally quite reasonable, due to the special nature of the organization, it is difficult 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 when they were following Bucky, they were also following Ms. Carter." Vito
He explained immediately.
"Bucky and Carter are living together?" Josie couldn't help but be startled when she heard this. Good guy, are these good brothers, your wife and I will support you?
"Uh, no, Mr. Barnes just moved out of his home and became Ms. Carter's neighbor after returning to New York!" Seeing that Josie had misunderstood, Vito couldn't help but explain.
Josie understood now that Bucky and Carter had become colleagues, partners and neighbors.
Although nothing may have happened between the two of them, it's hard to say if it continues.
And speaking of which, this is also his fault.
In the timeline without him, Peggy Carter should be the only one working in 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 did not become the leader of the Strategic Science Corps and formally established S.H.I.E.L.D. without Howard Stark becoming the leader of the Strategic Science Corps.
He will be ostracized and can only be responsible for simple tasks such as paperwork or making coffee within the Strategic Science Corps, and there is no possibility of going out into the field.
But in this time and space, because Qiao Xi released Bucky, the situation was different.
As a good friend of Captain America, Bucky is properly the second-ranking figure among the Howling Commandos.
So after the war, it was natural for him to join the Strategic Science Corps and become a senior field agent in the New York Bureau.
Its status is definitely not comparable to that of the lame Sousa agent in the Agent Carter series.
Under this situation, if other agents, including the director, want to squeeze out Peggy Carter, they have to see whether Bucky is willing or not.
In fact, Josie should have known this a long time ago. It was just because Josie didn't pay special attention to the situation of Carter and Bucky before, so he ignored it.
I just don't know whether this change is good or bad.
"Boss, do you want them to withdraw?" Vito asked, looking at the thoughtful Josie.
"Have Carter and the others returned to the apartment?" Josie asked.
"No, I got the news from them that Ms. Carter and Mr. Barnes are now dining in a vending restaurant two streets away, basically every day." Vito replied.
The so-called vending restaurant is actually an early type of convenience fast food restaurant.
The main thing is cheap and convenient.
Although she is a woman, you have no problem letting Peggy Carter dance with knives and guns, but cook? Save the money.
Not to mention Bucky, who came from a fairly well-off family and was a young master. He learned how to handle field rations in his first two years.
So the two of them usually eat fast food after get off work to save money and trouble.
"Then have they said when they will decide to take action?" Josie continued to ask.
"Yes... they waited for Mr. Barnes and Ms. Carter to finish dinner together, and then started to attack after they came back, because this apartment building is relatively remote, and only Ms. Carter, Mr. Barnes and a small number of tenants live there, so it is not easy to cause trouble.
Make a big noise." Vito nodded and said, "And just after eating, it will be burdensome on the human body, so it is a good time to start."
"In that case, let's wait. You can go over and keep an eye on it. If there is an accident later, you can help out... Remember to take medicine to avoid being recognized!" Qiao Xi ordered.
"Okay, I promise not to let anything 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. We won't ruin the council's affairs just because of this relationship, let alone Bucky's
It doesn't matter whether we live or die!" Josie rolled her eyes and scolded after hearing this, "But to be honest, with a combination like Carter and Barki, I really don't think much of the people sent by the council!"
"Hey, I understand!" After hearing Josie's words, Vito scratched his head slightly embarrassed. He thought Josie was going to help Carter and Bucky.
"...Go ahead, but you still have to be careful with your attack. Bucky is thick-skinned and fleshy. It doesn't matter where you start. For Carter, just knock him out as much as possible. Otherwise, he will be killed and crippled if he attacks too hard. What if Steve comes back one day?
It's easy to get into trouble!" Qiao Xi waved his hands.
"Boss, you mean Captain Steve Rogers is still alive and can come back?" Vito was surprised when he heard Josie's words.
"Who knows, this world is far more complicated than what we see!" Qiao Xi said quietly.
Facing Josie's emotion, Vito looked confused. Forget it, he would just go to work honestly.
He immediately got out of the car and prepared to find a private place with a wide view to lie down. Soon, he found a suitable place.
Qiao Xi also asked the bodyguard responsible for driving to find a secret place to park and wait for news.
About ten minutes later, Carter and Bucky's car slowly drove to the apartment building and landed.
"...Bucky, do you feel it?" Carter asked alertly 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 some unknown rats around!" Bucky in the driver's seat also stretched his hand to his waist - although he lost his left hand, Howard Stark also built a prosthetic leg specially for him.
, not much worse than the metal arm of the Winter Soldier in the original space and time, so there is no problem of being unable to drive with one hand.
However, it can be seen from the conversation between the two that they have discovered that something is wrong with the situation around the apartment.
So it’s not without reason that Josie is worried that the Council’s operation to capture Bucky will fail!
