Chapter 213: Gwen's father was also arrested
After a few words with Gwen, Peter hurriedly hung up.
At this time, the lawyer also came out and proved to him that the leader behind this eucalyptus was completely S.H.I.E.L.D. Similarly, only S.H.I.E.L.D. has the power to release people.
Hearing this, Peter couldn't hold back any longer, and after saying goodbye to the lawyer, he hurried to S.H.I.E.L.D. again.
When I arrived at S.H.I.E.L.D., I found out that S.H.I.E.L.D. was also in a hurry. He didn't care about these miscellaneous matters, so he went straight to Director Garrett's office, knocked on the door and entered, told him about the situation, and began to inquire about the reason.
"Alas!"
Director Garrett let out a long sigh, pulled Peter to sit down, and said helplessly:
"Originally, I thought it would be very simple, but after Rumlow checked carefully, I found out that this Thomas actually has a very wide social circle and has friendships with many people. Even, these people include some S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. ”
"What?" Peter was astonished.
"In order to prevent S.H.I.E.L.D. from infiltrating Hydra, I had to arrest everyone who had crossed paths with Thomas and investigate. As long as it turns out that they are okay in the end, I will naturally release them again. ”
"Uncle Ben and Aunt Mei ......"
"Because there is some chaos within S.H.I.E.L.D., there is a shortage of manpower, so I had to discuss with President Rogers and borrow the police system to do things. Those cops also follow the list that came out of the investigation, and they don't know your relationship with S.H.I.E.L.D. ”
Peter breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "That's great, that is, Uncle Ben and Aunt Mei are okay?" ”
"The specific investigation still has to be carried out, but as long as they are not Hydra, I am sure that the police station will let them go soon. Peter, you have to have faith in the federal policing system. Director Garrett patted Peter on the shoulder and said earnestly.
"Surely not, they must not be Hydra!" Peter patted his chest and assured Director Garrett.
"Well, I'll call the police station and tell me how you're doing, so you can come and visit. In a few days at most, the results will definitely be available. ”
"Thank you so much, Director!" Peter said gratefully.
Coming out of S.H.I.E.L.D., Peter's mentality was not as anxious as when he first came, and then looking at the situation in the bureau, he saw that people were taken away by security personnel for investigation from time to time. Throughout the game, the atmosphere was tense and people were panicked.
Peter sighed, but understood Director Garrett's approach. The bureau first conducts self-examination and self-correction, and clears out the untrustworthy members first, and then ensures the purity of the team. This will prevent you from being backstabbed in the fight with Hydra.
However, he believes that S.H.I.E.L.D. will neither wronged a good person nor let a bad person go.
After leaving S.H.I.E.L.D., he came to the police station again, and sure enough, he met Uncle Ben and Aunt Mei smoothly.
He recounted the situation, and then comforted:
"Uncle, don't worry, it's just a normal investigation. When the police confirm that you have nothing to do with Hydra, you will be released. ”
Uncle Ben nodded with satisfaction:
"It's a normal investigative process, it's understandable behavior, and it's necessary. Since even S.H.I.E.L.D. is conducting self-examinations, of course we don't want to make any specializations. Peter, you should believe in the state, in the government, in the federal legal system. ”
"I will, uncle."
After visiting Uncle Ben, Peter went to visit Aunt May again before leaving the police station.
Gwen is also very concerned about this, and after school, she hurries over to care about her boyfriend. The two had dinner together, and Peter told Gwen about his parents in detail.
Although it is surprising that such a legendary organization as Hydra appears, Gwen cares more about her boyfriend.
"Peter, no one knows better than me what a kind boy you are. The kind of people your parents are does not affect your character. Especially when they died when you were very young, and you were raised by Uncle Ben and Aunt Mei. Remember, Peter, that I will always be on your side, no matter what. ”
She comforted Peter and made it clear that her love for Peter was unshakable.
After the two of them had been warm for a while, Peter planned to send Gwen home. But the brave Gwen took the initiative to take a key step. She decided to stay with Peter for the night to soothe Peter's depressed mood because of his parents.
So, on the night that Uncle Ben and Aunt Mei were locked up, Peter and Gwen, two high school students, finally took the last step in Peter's cabin.
With Gwen by his side, Peter's heart was gone, and he was almost a little happy. He now visits Uncle Ben and Aunt Mei every day, comes back at night to cook dinner with Gwen, watches TV after the meal, and lingers at the end.
He had expected this kind of free life to last until Uncle Ben and the others returned from the police station, but unexpectedly, a few days later, Gwen called him with a crying voice, saying that Director Stacy had been arrested by S.H.I.E.L.D.
Peter hurried to Gwen's house, and Gwen threw herself into his arms in a bit of a panic and explained the situation in detail.
It turned out that George Stacy had worked with Thomas for a while, and Thomas was not the CIA at that time, but the FBI. It wasn't a long time together, so short that Director Stacy forgot about it and the man.
As S.H.I.E.L.D. conducted an in-depth investigation and discovered this connection, George Stacy was arrested.
When asked what was going on, Peter lowered his head and kissed Gwen's forehead in his arms, and soothed:
"Don't worry, Gwen. George was just working with Thomas. He will soon be released, just like Uncle Ben and Aunt Mei. Now even agents within S.H.I.E.L.D. are being investigated, and being investigated doesn't mean anything. ”
"We have to believe in the state, in the government, in the federal legal system!"
After Peter's reassurance, Gwen's panic finally calmed down.
But Mrs. Stacy was not as optimistic about the matter as the two of them, and she kept calling, looking for lawyers, police associations, media reporters, college classmates...... I searched all the friends I could find.
No matter how much Peter and the others tried to persuade her, she would not stop. The two had no choice but to let her.
But Mrs. Stacy's efforts seemed to be in vain in front of S.H.I.E.L.D., and Sheriff Stacey was not released as a result. In the end, she had no choice but to resign herself to fate, praying that S.H.I.E.L.D. was really just a routine investigation.
Peter went to inquire about it, and there were not a few people who were arrested because of the Hydra affair during this time, and even many high-ranking government officials or consortium executives were arrested, or it was an arrest warrant specially approved by President Rogers and issued by the Chief Justice.
Many of these people were quickly released, and many have been investigated and interrogated, and there has been no follow-up.
Peter is very confident in his relatives, and originally thought that as long as he waited patiently, in the end, it would not be true, and Uncle Ben would definitely be released.
However, no matter how confident you are, you will still be very worried. So Peter, as an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D., traveled back and forth between the police station and S.H.I.E.L.D. every day, visiting his relatives and inquiring about the progress of the investigation.
