Mary and Steven followed the children out of the third homeless gathering place. The two baskets of food brought by the two groups of children had all been distributed to the homeless people who had helped them. All filled with happy smiles, they walked towards Fox Orphanage.

Mary walked slowly behind Steven, looking down at the conversation she had with him while waiting.

Mary asked Steven, "Can I buy you dinner?"

Steven looked at her slightly surprised, and said, "Bring me to dinner?"

"Yes, I know there is a restaurant in Chinatown that serves very good Chinese food." Mary replied with a smile, "Maybe we can try it after the event here is over?"

Steven smiled noncommittally and said, "Chinese food?"

"It's really good. Have you ever eaten Chinese food? Like those noodles? Dumplings? Or, Chinese-style pizza?" Mary asked tentatively.

"Since you highly recommend it, it seems that the dishes in that restaurant should be very good." Steven looked at the children and said absently.

Mary looked at him and sighed helplessly from the bottom of her heart, well, he once again bypassed her question trap with vague answers, did he realize her purpose?No, he just doesn't trust her. Thinking of this, Mary was silent for a while, gritted her teeth and said: "Chinatown has a lot of delicious food, of course, if you live there, I think it should be good."

Steven nodded casually and said, "It seems that you like China very much?"

"What?" Mary was taken aback, "No, no, I just... have a good impression of the... food in Chinese restaurants. I have to say that Chinese food is much better than British food."

"Oh, really?" Steven smiled gently, "The food of each country has its own characteristics, and your comparison...is not very fair."

Mary was speechless, she really wanted to ask bluntly, do you live in Chinatown now, but judging by his appearance, even if you ask him, he probably won’t answer her any more questions, forget it, don’t ask .She sighed inwardly.

Steven turned his head to look at Mary, who was far behind her, with her head lowered and wondering what she was thinking. He stopped and watched the girl walking so dejectedly, without even realizing that he was standing here , just walked towards him so straight.He held out his hands to stop Mary, who almost ran into him, and said, "Hey, hey, hey, what's up?"

Startled, Mary immediately regained her senses, slowly raised her head, and met Steven's smiling eyes, she took a step back, walked around him and walked forward.

Steven raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Mary's back, hurried to catch up with her and walked side by side, and asked, "What are you worrying about?"

Mary shook her head.

Steven glanced at her and said, "If, if there is anything you can't solve, maybe I can help?"

help?Marie snorts a self-deprecating laugh, and if she tells him she's a paparazzi and Derek gives her a mission to dig up something between him and Bucky, or if she outright asks if he's alone Living in Chinatown, this Captain America probably doesn't look amiable at the moment, does he?She shook her head and said, "You can't help me with my problem."

"Really?" Steven looked at the sadness flashing in her eyes, thought for a while, and didn't ask any more.

The Fox Orphanage was right in front of us, and the children started to trot, and Steven and Mary quickened their pace. At this moment, the other two groups of children appeared at the intersection, and they separated and ran towards the gate. With panic and fear.

Steven and Mary stopped.

Mary was surprised to see a child with tears on his face. What happened?She followed the children into the yard, and saw the tearful little boy throw himself into Maria's arms.

Maria lowered her head and stroked the little boy's head, and said something softly. The little boy raised her head and said something quickly. She had a shocked expression on her face. When she looked up, she just saw Mary running in front of her. With a slight trembling of her lips, she said, "Mary!"

"What's the matter?" asked Mary, gasping.

Maria was speechless, her gaze shifted from Mary to Steven.

Steven, who came quickly after Mary's footsteps, frowned slightly. He stood in front of Mary and asked calmly, "What happened?"

The little boy holding Maria turned his head and cried, "Tommy was taken!"

Mary and Steven looked at the little boy, and Steven frowned even tighter, and he asked, "Where's Bucky?"

The little boy was so weeping that he couldn't speak, and the children who came back with him surrounded them and started talking.

"A villain has captured Tom! That uncle is going to rescue him!"

"Luke was released...he came back with a little ball of paper...Tommy is still in the hands of those villains."

"They let Luke go, they took Tommy... what to do?"

Steven figured out the clues from the children's words, but felt his heart sink, and said, "Where is that ball of paper? Where is it?"

Hearing this, the two groups of children looked at each other speechlessly. At this moment, the leader of one of the groups stretched out his hand and handed a small ball of paper to Steven.

Steven took the small paper ball and unfolded it, his heart trembled, Hydra!

Mary leaned over to take a look, and she immediately recognized the pattern, saying, "Hydra took Tommy!"

Steven pinched the note tightly and said nothing, his face very ugly.

Maria looked at Steven worriedly and said, "Shall we call the police?"

Steven shook his head and said, "No, you don't have to!" He glanced at the note in his hand again, and he was very clear about the location of the small print on it. There is no doubt that Hydra used Tommy to lure Bucky away. this location.

Seeing that Steven didn't say anything, Mary turned around and ran out. She didn't have time to say anything to Maria, so she also ran out subconsciously.She took off her glasses, and tried her best to run behind him, but Steven's speed was astonishing. She tried her best speed, but she could barely guarantee not to lose track.

After passing through several streets, Steven finally stopped in front of the house he used to live in. Under the surprised eyes of passers-by, he looked up at the house full of memories, without hesitation up the steps.

The door of the house was slightly open, he stretched out his hand and pushed it, and strode in.

Mary, who was left far behind by Steven, ran to the front of the house, covered her stomach with her hands, panted heavily, raised her head, and was taken aback, this is Steven's "former residence"!She ran up the steps and walked towards the wide open door of the house. As soon as she entered the door, she saw that there was no furniture in the simple house, and the inside was dilapidated as if it was about to collapse at any time, and a tall man stood in it, It's Steven.

Steven slowly turned his head to look over, and after realizing that it was Mary, he slowly turned his head to look in the direction he was looking at just now.

Mary walked up to him suspiciously, wondering what he was looking at, but when she followed Steven's gaze, she suddenly covered her mouth with her hand and swallowed back the exclamation in stomach.

There is a long bloodstain on the wall of the living room facing Steven, and this bloodstain extends down to the corner, where little Tommy is like a dilapidated rag doll, lying crookedly in a pool of blood with twisted limbs, he His eyes were wide open, as if he saw something that he didn't understand.On the floor not far from Tommy, wooden chips splashed everywhere, revealing a black hole. Apart from that, there was no sign of any fight in the room.

No Hydra, no Bucky, nothing but dead little Tommy.

Mary only felt that her whole body was cold, and she turned to look at Steven.

Steven stood there like a statue, staring at the bloodstains on the wall motionless.

Mary took out her cell phone and planned to call the police.

"No!" Steven said hoarsely.

"What?" Mary looked at Steven puzzled, "Don't want what?"

Steven moved, turned his head slowly, looked at Mary and said, "Don't call the police!"

Mary frowned, looked back at Steven, and said, "But...Tommy...if you don't call the police, it will be difficult for Aunt Maria!"

Steven looked at her blankly for a long time and said, "Okay!"

Mary thought for a while, looked at Steven and said, "You've checked it all, haven't you? Did they leave any clues?"

Steven shook his head slightly, and said in a low voice, "They took Bucky away."

"How sure are you that they took Bucky?" Mary asked.

Steven didn't answer, he turned to leave, and Mary grabbed his arm, "Hey! Wait!"

A look of anxiety flashed across Steven's eyes, and he said, "I don't have time to tell you why, now I need to find Bucky!"

"I know, I don't want to know why, but, I don't think you are in a suitable state to look for. Can you give yourself a few minutes to calm down?" Mary stared into his blue eyes and said.

Steven didn't say a word, and he didn't break away from her hand. To Mary's surprise, he obeyed her and said in a low voice, "Okay!"

Mary grabbed Steven with one hand, and started calling the police with her mobile phone in the other. After the call, she tugged at his arm and said, "Go!"

Steven followed her out in silence.

Mary firmly grasped his arm and walked out of the house, turned her head and looked around, and said, "Are you calm now?"

Steven nodded slightly, looked at Mary apologetically, and said, "Yes. Please tell Maria about Tommy. I'm going to find Bucky now."

Mary looked at Steven, who was clearly in an emotional state, hesitated to speak, and nodded helplessly, "But, please don't forget to go and explain to Aunt Maria personally, whether you find him or not, about..."

Steven nodded and said, "I know, I will." After speaking, he turned and left.

Mary stood there, watching Steven leave. From a work point of view, she shouldn't be standing here at this moment, watching Steven leave. She should follow, but, from her heart, she Don't want to follow.At this moment, Bucky was taken away by Hydra, and Tommy was killed as a bait. Steven is going to find Bucky now, and at the same time, he is also going to settle accounts with Hydra. She must not add trouble to him.
