As soon as Steven walked into the kitchen, he saw Mary was rummaging through the boxes inside. He frowned slightly and said, "Hey, what are you going to do?"

Mary opened a drawer, looked up, her eyes flicked across his face, she quickly lowered her eyes, reached out from the drawer and took out a knife that was about the length of her arm, she held it in her hand and waved it. A few times, frowning, not taking advantage of it!Immediately threw it into the drawer, picked up a fruit knife that was only half the length of the one just now, and waved it again. This time it did come in handy, but it was too small. If it was used to face an 'enemy' of Bucky's level , then the lethality is equal to zero.She threw the fruit knife back into the drawer dissatisfied.

When Steven saw Mary take out the fruit knife and kept weighing it, he understood what she was doing, walked over to hold her hand that was picking up the knife in the drawer, and watched She said, "You don't believe me, do you?"

Mary looked up at him with a "you're not talking nonsense" expression, flipped her wrist to break free from his hand, and said, "This has nothing to do with trust, it's just in case."

"Mary, as I said, I will protect you." Steven said in a low voice, looking at her with a slight frown, "However, you don't believe it."

"Of course I don't trust you! Even if you are Captain America, you have saved countless lives, but in half an hour or less, anyway, what did you tell me at the hospital gate? You said your motorcycle It’s safer and faster, but what about the result?” Mary sneered, “Of course, this has nothing to do with life or death, so I’ll just ask you one thing, can you guarantee that you won’t get confused after Bucky appears? ?”

Steven stared at Mary who raised her eyebrows slightly and asked a question, showing a heavy expression.

"Look, you can't even speak right away! It's a very good character to value friendship, so I'm not accusing you now. I just want you to understand that I don't want anything to happen to Mark and Ashley, so that they become The victim in your plan, so," Mary looked into his eyes, "I will try my best to protect my family, I just hope you can quickly lure Bucky away from here after he appears."

Steven looked at Mary speechlessly, her stubborn and resolute face was reflected in his eyes, his gaze slowly moved from her face to the drawer by her hand, and he stretched out his hand to hold down Mary's face again. With hands busy looking for a weapon, he said, "Listen, no one is going to be a victim! Also, you need the right weapon!"

Mary raised her eyes in a little surprise, and saw him turn around and stride out of the kitchen, walking towards the door of the wooden house.

Not long after, Steven came back, carrying his big satchel in his hand.

Mary watched him put the satchel on the counter and said with a puzzled expression, "Didn't you say you don't have a weapon?"

When Steven heard this, he smiled awkwardly, opened the bag and rummaged inside.

Mary walked up to him curiously, and glanced into his big bag. In addition to a few clothes, there was also an ultra-thin tablet, and several metal boxes of different colors, and then she saw him fumble through the clothes. Out came a black hand, a gun.

Steven held the gun, hesitated for a moment, then reached out and handed it to Mary.

Mary looked at the gun in his hand and didn't speak or take it.

Steven put the gun in front of her and said, "Sorry, I lied to you just now."

Mary silently stared at the gun in front of her, sighed and said, "You are so kind."

"What?" Steven looked at her puzzled, "Why do you say that?"

Mary stretched out her hand to gently caress the cold body of the gun, and said, "Perhaps this is also one of your charms?" She smiled, "You know that if I want to use it to guard against someone, you still take it. Come out, not only that, you even apologized for lying to me just now."

"No, you're wrong, I think you're glorifying me too much." Steven shook his head, "I gave it to you just because you want a weapon to protect yourself and your family, don't you?"

"Even if it's possible for me to use this thing to hurt Bucky?" Mary raised her eyes, staring at his face, "Have you decided? You still have a chance to take it back now!"

Steven smiled and said, "It's a little bit safer than a pocket knife."

Mary raised an eyebrow, huh?Does he seem to have something to say?Sure enough, as soon as she thought about it, she heard Steven say in a positive tone: "Actually, I'm not worried about Bucky, because I believe you can't hit him at all!"

What?Mary glared at him. What he said was not only showing off Bucky's skills, his subtext... If she understood correctly, he clearly revealed that not only did he feel that Mary might hurt herself with a knife, but also, for Mary's marksmanship is very bad!Thinking of this, Mary almost smashed the gun in front of him in the face, damn it!Look down on people, don't you?

Steven looked at the indignation on her face, smiled suddenly, and said, "Aren't I telling the truth?"

Mary didn't answer, and abruptly swallowed the sentence she was about to blurt, "My marksmanship can at least kill a running werewolf!" To be honest, she didn't think Steven would believe it at all. Or, arguing with him about marksmanship seems too childish.Without saying a word, she grabbed the gun and thought to herself, if I really hurt Bucky, the expression on his face would be very exciting.

The phone rang music again.

Mary took out her mobile phone, stuffed the gun into her coat pocket, and opened the screen to answer the call. This time, the caller was Andrew in New York. As soon as he heard that Mary's call was connected, he asked loudly: " Hi Mary, have you been to Seattle yet?"

Mary glanced at Steven, walked out of the kitchen slowly, and said speechlessly, "Do you know what time it is? Don't you think this question is redundant?"

"Well, I agree with you, it's really redundant, haha." Andrew laughed dryly, "By the way, how is your father?"

"He's fine!" Mary replied softly standing in the corridor, turning her head to look at the kitchen as she spoke, and Steven was half leaning on the cooking table, looking at her silently.She turned her back to him and asked in a low voice, "You called, did you hear from that underground bank?"

"There is indeed news." Andrew said hesitantly, "But it's not good news."

"Really?" Mary lowered her eyes, her expression became a little disappointed, "Tell me, what's going on."

"Are you sure you want to know now? Or, I'll tell you tomorrow?" Andrew suggested cautiously.

Mary unconsciously took a deep breath and said, "Say it?"

Andrew sighed, and said: "I found the underground bank, but the address was wrong, no, you can't say that, the address is correct, but the bank has moved away a year ago, maybe it's just If we change the place of operation, we may stop doing it.”

Mary gripped the phone tightly, clenching her teeth tighter and tighter.

"I'll check again, don't worry." Andrew said softly.

However, Mary couldn't hear anything. Her hand holding the mobile phone suddenly dropped to her side, her teeth were chattering, and she kept repeating in her mind that the bank was gone, and the clue to find Julie was cut off again.

"Mary? Mary? Why don't you speak? Mary..." Andrew cried in vain on the other end of the phone.

"Mary?" Steven, who had been looking at Mary, noticed her sudden appearance, walked over quickly, and saw her looking at the air with red eyes, and her face was terribly pale.He saw that the screen of the mobile phone in her hand was still on, and he reached out to take it from her hand. A man's worried cry came from the mobile phone. When he raised the mobile phone to his ear, he heard Andrew shouting: " God, Mary, Mary, Mary, what's the matter with you? Don't you scare me, answer me, Mary!"

Steven glanced at Mary who was in a trance, cleared his throat, and said, "Mary is fine now, but it's not convenient to listen to your call. I suggest you call later."

"Who are you?" Andrew suddenly heard a man's voice, and asked vigilantly, "Who are you? Why are you with Mary?"

Steven replied, "I'm her friend."

"Oh, really? Let Mary answer the phone!" Andrew said.

"I'm afraid she can't do it right now, answer the phone." Steven raised his eyes to look at Mary who was clearly in a trance, "Sorry."

Andrew was silent for a few seconds, sighed, and said, "My name is Andrew Evans."

"Steven." Steven whispered, "What did you say to her? She doesn't look very well."

Hearing what he said, Andrew sighed and said, "Oh, hello, Steven." He paused, "Can you please take care of her?"

"What happened?" Steven asked.

"Do you know Julie?" Andrew said, "This is about Julie, of course, it doesn't matter if you don't know, I think she will feel bad..."

"I know her. She's Mary's sister. What happened to her? I mean Julie." Steven asked in a deep voice.

"Julie has been missing for a long time. We got a clue yesterday, but this clue..." Andrew said helplessly, "It's broken, it's broken now, do you understand?"

"I understand." Steven nodded, "I understand, thank you."

"Hey, if you can, can you tell Mary that I will continue to investigate and let her not worry?" Andrew said in a bad mood. It won't be too good."

"Okay, I see." Steven frowned slightly, Mary's face was cloudy, she seemed to be thinking about something, or maybe she didn't think about anything, in short, she didn't pay attention to Steven who was talking to Andrew, Even if he is right in front of her eyes.

Suddenly, Mary walked towards Julie's room.

"That's it!" Steven frowned, and hurriedly said to Andrew, "By the way, thank you for telling me what happened!" After speaking, he looked at the screen and swiped his finger on the screen After a few moves, he hung up the phone clumsily.
