Peter and May were stunned when Joanna went to Parker's house with a big pile of dog food and little ones.The little puppy looked extremely helpless next to Xiao Shangao's dog food.Mei didn't expect that Joanna would come to the door with so much dog food. She asked a little embarrassedly: "You dog...is it a dog on earth? Can you eat so much?"

Joanna touched the little guy's head: "Be always prepared. I'm afraid it will be hungry."

Mei: Are you not afraid of it holding on?

But Joanna soon realized that Parker’s house didn’t have any extra space to store so much dog food, and she decisively said to her aunt and nephew: “My apartment hasn’t been sold yet, and I haven’t found a tenant. Put all this mess there, and I'll leave a key for Peter. It's more convenient."

Mei's face was a little ugly: "What is this for?"

Joanna smiled at Mei and explained: "It's true that it's not rented out. My unit is in a hurry, otherwise I wouldn't leave in such a hurry. I'd better leave a key for you. In case the kitchen leaks again, Peter can handle it in time too, can't he?"

Mei looked at Joanna quietly for a while, and finally said nothing, but called Peter to follow Joanna to carry the mountain of dog food upstairs.

"Miss Rickman." Peter suddenly said in the narrow stairwell holding the dog food, "Are you really moving because of work?"

"Why do you ask?"

"No...it's nothing. It just feels like you...are not very happy." After saying this, Peter felt that he had crossed the line a bit, so he closed his mouth tightly.

Joanna didn't answer.

Peter was right, she was really upset.Can she be happy?I can still laugh after going through so many bad things, I'm afraid I'm sick, right?

The new position S.H.I.E.L.D. offered her in Washington was indeed much better than the current one.Joanna could not in good conscience say that she did not like the new position.But the thought of leaving New York, the thought of... Steve, made Joanna unhappy.

The meaning of Coulson's expression is obvious. Once she goes to Washington, she can't provoke Steve anymore.Joanna couldn't help but wonder how Steve would feel when all this happened.

My netizens suddenly disappeared, and I have no more contact... For a veteran who has been out of touch with the times for many years, what an unacceptable result it would be.

Joanna didn't dare to continue thinking about this question.In a low mood, she pointed out the facilities and items at home to Peter one by one, and then gave the [-]% new desktop computer that she couldn't take away, as well as electronic products such as projectors and Bluetooth headsets that she planned to replace. Peter.After pushing for a long time, Peter could only accept it.

Joanna and Peter said goodbye downstairs.Simple and heavy.Peter tried to persuade Joanna several times, but in the end he couldn't make a sound.He hugged the puppy that hadn't been named yet, and watched Joanna get into the taxi.

Joanna left New York the day after the little one was housed and flew to Washington.

S.H.I.E.L.D. bought her a business-class ticket.She was in the baggy seat, looking out the window at the airport.

Joanna thought for a while, took out her phone and sent Steve a message.

Joanna: Off to Washington, be careful in New York.

After sending this message, Joanna turned off her phone.She let out a long breath and asked the stewardess for a glass of whiskey.

After Joanna drank two glasses of whiskey on the plane, the plane began to prepare to land in Washington.

The person who came to pick me up was a woman with short hair.Joanna could tell at a glance that the other party was not from the administration department.

It's not that Joanna's observation skills are so amazing. After all, she is not Henry's observation freak, but the other party's expression is too indifferent.A person like this, in a place where gossip prevails in the administrative department and is keen on stabbing in the back, can't live for half a year at all.

Therefore, as soon as Joanna saw her, she knew that the other party must know why she came to Washington.

The short-haired woman called herself "Hill". Joanna thought the name sounded familiar, but she didn't remember who it was for a while.In order not to cause unnecessary trouble, Joanna didn't say a word other than simple greetings and self-introduction.

Hill led Joanna to the parking lot.As soon as the two got into the car, before Joanna fastened her seat belt, Hill stared at Joanna's face and said, "You should turn on your phone and log in to Facebook now."

Joanna paused and looked up at Hill.

"You texted Captain America before you flew out of New York, right? No one texts and then ignores him. To avoid unnecessary trouble, you should turn on your phone and text him back."

Joanna didn't answer, and slowly put on her seat belt.

"I think Coulson has explained it very clearly to you. You are transferred to Washington for your own good and for the mission to continue to progress. So you should cooperate."

Joanna was not sure about Hill's temper, and now that the two were in a secluded parking lot, Joanna could only obey Hill's words, took out her mobile phone and logged into Facebook for work.

Considering the amount of Steve's previous news, the news in such a short period of time can be called an information explosion.

Steve:? ? ? ?to Washington?

Steve: Joanna?Why the sudden trip to Washington?

Steve: Where are you now?Can we meet?

Steve: Joanna, is S.H.I.E.L.D. in charge?Or do you want to go to Washington yourself.Listen, Joanna, in either case, we'd better talk first.

Steve:? ? ? ?Where are you?I'm going to find you now!

Steve: Reply as soon as you see my message.I am worried about you.

Joanna looked at the last sentence "I'm worried about you", and was so sad that she was about to shed tears.

Hill glanced at Joanna's cell phone: "I heard that you are dating Captain America. In a sense, you have completed your mission quite well. His tone almost catches up with the dog blood in the early morning It's a romance."

Joanna moved uncomfortably and turned her face out of the car window.

"No reply?"

Joanna was silent.

"Coulson said that you have the ability to stay in the PR department, why? Even Captain America can't handle it by himself at this moment?" Hill glanced at Joanna with a little contempt in his eyes, "I can tell you what I said earlier. S.H.I.E.L.D. Just because it's been doing the right thing, that doesn't mean S.H.I.E.L.D. isn't in trouble. It's never been easy in PR."

Joanna turned her head to look at Hill when she heard that, "Is this an entry test?"

Hill shrugged noncommittally.

Joanna turned on her phone, glanced at Hill again, and ducked down to text Steve.

Joanna: Just got off the plane, sorry to worry you.The bureau offered me to work in the public relations department in Washington.It happened suddenly, and I didn't have time to discuss it with you.Don't worry, it's all formal procedures.

Steve: At this point where you're telling me who you are?

Joanna: I submitted the application myself half a year ago.Honestly, I can't deny the connection between the two things.But I thought about it for a long time, Steve, and I thought it might be a good thing for me.You said that S.H.I.E.L.D. has no malice towards you, and if I obey the arrangement, in a sense, I'm safe too.If I had stayed in New York, they would have suspected my continued contact with you.Among other things, monitoring is absolutely indispensable.

Steve looked at the phone and suddenly felt powerless.A kind of powerlessness for a person to fight against a huge organization.The terrible thing is that this organization has not done anything harmful to the world so far.However, Joanna's life has been affected, this is an indisputable fact.

Steve: Joanna, I'm so sorry.

Joanna: No need for that, Steve.That might be a good ending for me.

Steve: I think this should be the farewell.

Joanna looked at the line of words, but did not respond for a long time.Hill on the side also saw the line of writing, she didn't speak, but looked up at Joanna's side face.

Steve on the other end of the network failed to receive a reply for a long time. He put the phone aside and looked at the scenery outside the gym in silence.He felt that maybe tonight he would need to play beanbags for three hours before going home.

About half an hour later, Steve's cell phone rang.

Steve, who was venting with a beanbag, stopped punching.He hugged the shaking sandbag and looked sideways at the mobile phone on the floor.After a while, he walked over and bent over to pick up the phone.

Joanna: No, Steve.It just means that we won't be able to run away for a while.After all, the cost of meeting is too high. (* ̄︶ ̄)

Steve held the phone, frowned for a long time, and finally smiled unconsciously.

Hill parked the car downstairs at the S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters: "So, are you going to do this?"

"Coulson just said that it is not common sense for me to stay in New York, and I agree with his judgment. But that does not mean that Steve and I cannot continue to communicate. Honestly, if it is not life-threatening, do it with Steve. Friends are actually a pretty good thing."

Hill looked at Joanna with great interest: "But according to SHIELD's routine practice, since you have exposed your identity, SHIELD will not let you contact Steve again, do you understand?"

"Understood. But from Steve's point of view, my contact with him was not due to work, but a pure coincidence. And I, an administrative staff, will not have too many secrets. There is no need for S.H.I.E.L.D. to completely block me and Shi Steve contacted you, because you know Steve will dislike you because of this." Joanna smiled at Hill, "Let's put it this way, consider it from the perspective of SHIELD. An insignificant civilian in my bureau The personnel unintentionally got acquainted with an important task target, and of course they should use it when they can. And when she is exposed, the first thing S.H.I.E.L.D. has to do is to geographically separate her from the task target to prevent accidents. Second, it is natural to ensure the safety and treatment of this small employee. After all, it is directly related to whether the task object can be persuaded. Third, the normal friendship between the two, especially on the Internet, is only good for S.H.I.E.L.D. No harm."

Hill raised an eyebrow.

"Firstly, monitoring the network is much more convenient and less costly than monitoring the living people. Second, isn't the chat history of the two people a good analysis material?" Joanna smiled at Hill, "So, Steve It is also clear that it is necessary to transfer me out of New York. It is safe for me to remain in touch with him online."

Hill pursed his lips with a smile: "It's not bad. The mess in the PR department is not that simple. Let's go, I'll take you to meet your new colleagues gradually."
