[Comprehensive British and American] Super Mario

A week later, focus on the newspaper.

Mary stood silently before Derek.

Derek leaned back in the chair, stared at her, and said, "Thanksgiving is too enjoyable, so you neglect the work you should do?"

Mary shook her head.

"Although I can understand the tragedy that happened in the Fox Orphanage, what I can't understand is that you actually told me that this incident has something to do with Captain America?" Derek stared at Mary firmly, "Say something, Mary* Winston, what do you think now? Do you want to complete the Captain America project, or are you going to resign now?"

Mary sighed and said, "I'm sorry, I will finish the Captain America topic." She silently thought that if she had known about Steven's disappearance in advance, she would not have watched him leave on Thanksgiving like that , no, no, no, even if she knew that she would never find him again after they separated in front of his "former residence" that day, she should still choose to watch him leave.

"Don't tell me that you will complete the topic selection. I have heard enough. Such empty words are far worse than you giving me a manuscript...such as the heir to the Odyssey, which can convince me that you are indeed very important. Serious work." Derek looked at her a little impatiently.

"Yes, I know!" Mary said softly, "Can you give me a little more time? I really just lost track of Captain America in the last few days, I have some content, but, that's not enough, at last At least it’s not enough for what you said, um, the big stuff.”

Derek was silent, just looked at Mary critically, she looked at him sincerely, her eyes were full of pleading, he believed she was telling the truth, but... he picked up his ipad I rummaged through it, threw it in front of her, and said, "Look for yourself!"

Mary glanced at him inquiringly, then lowered her head to pick up his ipad, a blurry photo was displayed on the screen, it was the lost Captain America, and there was a short report corresponding to this photo, the content After being listed as a wanted man for Captain America, a suspected change of heart attacks a New York official who once publicly supported the arrest of Bucky Barnes.

"You can't even get such material now, can you?" Derek stared at Mary, whose face changed slightly, "This makes me wonder if you are really as good as you are when it comes to being Captain America." You said it yourself, working hard."

Mary felt her eyelids twitch, she silently put down her iPad, and said, "I..."

"Well, there is no need to say any more, I said, I have heard enough, I have been very tolerant of you, Mary, listen, starting today, I will give you a week, only a week , this is the deadline I gave you, you have to bring me a manuscript of Captain America, if you can't come up with it..." Derek looked at Mary without mercy, "Then, I'm sorry!"

Mary looked at Derek for a long time, nodded with difficulty, and said, "I see!"

"Get out!" Derek said.

Mary turned with a heavy heart and walked out of Derek's office.She returned to her seat and sat down, contemplating.

Thanksgiving Day, Mary got a three-day vacation. After the vacation, she returned to work and began to search for Steven, but found that Steven did not return to the Fox Orphanage and Mary during this week. Aunt Leah explained the situation. It should be said that he completely disappeared in Brooklyn.In order to find Steven, Mary went to the commercial and residential building in Chinatown twice, but did not meet him.

That night, Peter met and followed Steven, but Mary didn't see Steven with her own eyes, so she couldn't help wondering if the person Peter saw that day was really Steven.

Mary frowned, turned on her cell phone, and was just about to call Peter, but she remembered the report that Derek had shown her just now, although she hadn't relaxed to check the real-time news these days, however, this report attacked the officials and she But it was the first time I saw it.She recalled that Steven in the accompanying picture looked different from the one she had seen before, he seemed taller and more murderous, did he not find Bucky?

The phone screen suddenly lit up, and amidst the music on the phone, the name of the caller was displayed on the screen: Andrew.She swiped open the screen to connect to the phone, and asked, "Hi, what's the matter?"

"Mary, there is a case." Andrew said seriously, "It's in my hands, so, when do you get off work? I'll pick you up."

Mary pressed her forehead with a headache and asked in a low voice, "About what?"

"I suspect it's a werewolf." He said, "The 7-year-old girl Zegna disappeared for a week. The police gave up the search after filing a case for investigation. They found evidence that the little girl ran away from home. Her mother didn't believe her child would leave. She ran away from home, so she found me through a friend's introduction, and I made an appointment to meet her mother at night."

Missing, running away from home, little girl, the words one by one stimulated Mary, and she felt her head hurt even more.

"Mary?" Andrew asked suspiciously, "What's the matter? Is it difficult? If you don't have time, I can go to see her mother alone."

Mary turned her head and glanced at Derek's office, then at several colleagues in the office lobby who were writing manuscripts, and said, "I'm coming out now."

"Oh, okay, then you go to the old place and wait for me?" Andrew said.

"Okay!" After hanging up the phone, Mary hugged her head. The faint headache felt like someone was hitting the back of her head with a big hammer one after another. She lay on the desk and hugged her. For a long time, chaotic thoughts jumped wildly with the "beating" in my mind...

Half an hour later, the headache finally subsided slowly. Mary let out a long breath of relief, slowly let go of her head, straightened up from the desk, took off her glasses, rubbed her eyes, and said to herself: " It’s okay, Mary, it’s okay, come one by one, Steven will find it, you will find the missing girl, and Julie, of course you will find it, don’t worry, don’t worry!” So Repeatedly repeating it several times in her heart, speaking to herself as if she was missing a spell, Mary suddenly laughed, stood up, took her bag and left the newspaper office.

Queens, Sandwich Shop.

Andrew’s so-called old place is actually the sandwich shop that Mary often visits. In fact, before Andrew met Peter, the old place they met was not this sandwich shop. During Thanksgiving, Andrew and Peter made appointments several times. This is where all the meeting places are, so the sandwich shop has become the default "old place" for Andrew and Mary and Peter.

Mary was sitting by the window, with her chin in her hands, staring blankly at the passers-by outside the window. The weather was getting colder, so that the pace of passers-by seemed to speed up a lot, and many people shrank their necks and walked in a hurry in the cold wind. , It seems that speeding up the pace can avoid the cold of winter.

"Hi! Mary!" Peter came in with his schoolbag on his back. He went straight to her, pulled a wooden chair and sat down, and said, "Andrew hasn't come yet?"

Mary showed a surprised expression, looked at Peter and said, "Andrew even notified you?"

Peter nodded innocently, and said to her: "You look very strange, didn't Andrew tell you?"

"Tell me what?" asked Mary. "Is there anything you two haven't told me?"

Peter tilted his head and said with a smile: "Oh, yes, but I thought he had told you to come? It seems that Andrew is going to pick a time to tell you? Well, that's not bad, you know there is At least, I think the three of us should have a memorable day, oh, did he choose today..." His words were interrupted by Mary's gestures, following Her gaze, Peter looked over.

At the door of the store, Andrew was pushing the door and entering.

Mary frowned slightly and said, "Here he is!"
