Chapter 032: Tracking
Brooklyn Hospital.
Agent Carter was waiting anxiously outside the operating room, pacing back and forth in the hallway, her fingers tangled together, her knuckles slightly white from the exertion.
At this time, a female nurse with chestnut hair walked quickly to Carter's side and asked hesitantly, "Hello, are you Miss Peggy Carter?"
"It's me."
"There's your phone."
Carter looked surprised, but he quickly followed the nurse to the guide desk.
"Hey, hello."
"I'm Colonel Phillips, please put down your work immediately and return to the Strategic Science Reserve, something is wrong, I need your help!" Colonel Phillips spoke quickly and commanded without question.
"Colonel......" Carter hesitated, glancing quickly at the operating room.
"I'm sorry, I can't leave for something, can you ......" Before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Colonel Phillips, "You're in the hospital with Steve, right?" Hodge told me everything, it doesn't matter, you have to come back right now! ”
As soon as he said Hodge, Carter's face changed suddenly, "Hodge told you?" Did he say that he beat Steve with multiple fractures, collapsed sternum, and is now in critical condition and is being resuscitated! ”
"His life is in danger at any moment!"
"I know all of that." Colonel Phillips' voice on the phone was calm and terrifying, "I said it doesn't matter, you must return now!" ”
Carter laughed angrily, as an agent of the Strategic Science Reserve, she had been exposed to the dark side of things, and thought she could face every unexpected event calmly. Thinking of Steve's pale and emaciated face, he couldn't help but feel angry.
"Hodge is a villain, he's a murderer! Choosing him in the first place was simply the biggest mistake! Carter lowered his voice and roared.
There was a long silence on the other end of the phone, and then Colonel Phillips' low and terrifying voice rang, "The professor is dead, Mawson did it, and now the entire Strategic Science Reserve has become a mess, I need your help!" ”
It would have been taboo to discuss such confidential matters on the public phone, but in the face of an angry Carter, Phillips could only patiently explain.
"This can't be? How could Mawson possibly do such a thing? Carter exclaimed.
"I don't think it's the right thing to do, but this is what Hodge and the other two agents saw with their own eyes, so I need you to come back and find out all about it."
"So what Hodge did to Steve, that's it?" Carter asked through gritted teeth.
"I'm sorry Carter, at least now I can't punish him, the professor is dead, he's the only surviving super-soldier serum carrier in this world. The committee would never allow him to have any accidents, so ......"
"This damn politics!" Carter cursed.
"I'll send someone to take over Steve's care, and when he's through the perilous period, I'll put him in the best hospital in New York, and the military will pay for everything. I promise to get him back to health with the best of my resources! ”
"Now I need you to find out something......"
Carter hung up the phone with a heavy heart, and just then the light in the operating room went out, and a middle-aged man wearing a mask and a tired face walked out.
"Doctor, how's it going?" Carter asked anxiously.
The doctor shook his head slowly, "The situation is not optimistic, although the operation is completed, he may die at any time due to other complications." His body was too weak to withstand the impact, and I would transfer him to the intensive care unit for monitoring. ”
"Whether he survives or not depends on the next 48 hours." The doctor said hello and turned to leave.
Steve, who was pushed out of the operating room, was horribly pale and horribly pale like a dead man. Carter placed his palm over Steve's cheek and gently imprinted a lip print on his forehead.
"Hold on Steve, you can't beat it!" She gritted her teeth and turned away.
After entering the intensive care unit, Carter could not help by staying in the hospital, and the only thing she could do now was to pray, pray that God would hear her voice and spare this upright and kind young man.
Carter was changing in the garage, and she slammed the gas pedal all the way down and swooped out.
Her heart was filled with remorse, and when she thought of Steve's near-death appearance, she felt that it was a mistake to stop Mawson in the first place, and she should have let Mawson kill that villain!
Because of Steve, she knows Mawson's network very well, and knows that Mawson doesn't have many friends in Brooklyn, except for Steve, only his girlfriend Kardashian.
According to Carter's estimate, it is very likely that Mawson will contact Kardashian as soon as possible after fleeing. She drove fast all the way to Kardashian's address.
It was already completely dark, and Carter parked the car and quietly sneaked into Kardashian's home.
At this time, it was dinner time, and the Kardashian family of three was sitting at the dining table eating, looking warm and harmonious. Carter took a closer look and didn't find anything unusual on Kardashian's face, and an ordinary merchant girl like Kardashian couldn't hide it under Carter's eyes at all.
"Didn't Mawson come here?" After searching all the rooms and finding no trace of Mawson, Carter couldn't help but hesitate.
"Do you want to stay here, or do you want to go to Steven's house?" She hesitated for a moment, waited another 15 minutes, the Kardashians finished dinner, and Carter, who had made up his mind, started the car and went straight to Steve's cabin.
Night falls.
This time, Carter parked the car a little further away and went to Steve's house in hiding.
The room was small, and it didn't take long for her to turn it upside down, but she didn't find a single figure.
"Where the hell did he go?"
After searching two places in a row and not finding Mawson, Carter also found it a little tricky. She hid in a dark corner and waited quietly for half an hour, but found nothing.
Carter, who had finally run out of patience, got up and left, and she decided to go to Kardashian's house again to see where Mawson might have gone during the time she was away.
Turning the keys and starting the car, she felt her neck tighten as her toes touched the accelerator, and a large, rough hand grabbed her throat, making her unable to make a sound. Then she felt something cold and hard against her temple.
"Don't move!" Behind him came Mawson's calm voice.
"Turn off the car, take your hands off the wheel, slow down, and don't force me to shoot!" Mawson is now a soldier, even if the other party is the lover of the future Captain America, but at this time, if he stands in the way of completing the mission, he will not hesitate to kill the other party!
"Mawson, don't be impulsive!"
Feeling a strong murderous intent in Mawson's tone, Carter complied, "You don't have to be nervous, it's just me." ”
"You should be glad you came alone, otherwise you ......" Before Mawson's words were finished, Carter's next sentence made him completely stunned.
"Mawson, Steve is dying!"
