Day 2!

Early morning.

Washington, S.H.I.E.L.D., and Sanfei as headquarters.

Nick Fury, who had returned from Los Santos eight days ago but had been so busy that his feet did not touch the ground, finally ushered in a rare respite today, leaning on the leather seat behind him, with one eye, looking at the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling window.

into the eyes.

The snow is white, and the first thing that gives people the feeling is that Christmas Eve has arrived.

It's Christmas Eve.

Speaking of which, Nick Fury was finally able to return to his office today, and he should be thankful that today is Christmas Eve, and the federal judiciary is on holiday.

So!

Nick Fury's hearing was also suspended because of the holiday.

Note.

It's a pause, not a cancellation or an end.

When the Justice Department returns to work after the New Year, Nick Fury will still have to go for a closed-door hearing.

"Fark!"

Nick Fury thought of the scorching things he had encountered these days, and couldn't help but be irritable, and blamed all this on the person who caused him to be in the situation he is in today: "Luke Dane! ”

In his opinion, he will now be attacked by the federal justice system because of Luke Dane.

Because he received the news that Kuntik's side had 20 million U.S. knives in his account.

That is, after receiving 20 million US dollars from Kuntik's side, all of a sudden, the fire was in full swing, and there was only one simple matter of accountability, and many other messy law enforcement agencies popped up, all accusing Nick Fury of stealing the name of their law enforcement agency and giving them back the blame.

And that's not even the most fucked up part.

The thing he feels most fucked up about is that in the face of these messy law enforcement agency complaints, he doesn't even have the confidence to say: "I didn't, it's not me, I didn't do it." ”

After all, S.H.I.E.L.D. is not authorized by Congress, so when they take over some cases, they will show the appropriate identity according to local conditions.

For example, in the case of espionage, they are from the National Security Agency.

In the case of terrorist attacks, they are the Department of Homeland Security.

Navy Murders, they are NICS.

Army......

In the past, Nick Fury thought that this was actually a good thing.

Because there is no identity, it is the biggest identity, and when you go out, the identity is given by yourself.

But right now, Nick Fury thought of the picture of seven or eight law enforcement agencies waiting to confront him on the Justice Department's side, and completely felt that the trigeminal nerve was aching.

That's when it happened.

There was a knock on the door.

Nick Fury said without looking back.

"Enter."

"Nick!"

Alexander Pearce, who was wearing a woolen coat, pushed open the office door, looked at Nick, who was looking at the snow outside the window with one eye, and said, "How is it, still depressed?" ”

Nick Fury came back to his senses and looked at Alexander walking in.

After a while.

The two sat down on the couch.

"Happy Holidays."

"Happy Holidays."

Alexander raised his glass and touched Nick Fury, took a sip of the wine, looked at the latter's face, shook his head and said: "I told you not to go at that time, you have to go, now the consequences are known." ”

Nick Fury opened his mouth towards Alexander, trying to say something, but finally closed his mouth.

Because that's exactly what Alexander said.

Moreover, if you lose, you lose.

He still has this responsibility.

But......

Nick Fury drank the whiskey in his glass and said in a muffled voice, "It's okay, just wait for me to recover, I'll fight this Director Luke Dane soon." ”

Alexander smiled: "By the way, this is the Nick Fury I knew, and it was also the Nick Fury I chose to recommend back then, what is a failure, it's a big deal to do it again." ”

Nick Fury squeezed out a smile and thanked Alexander.

Alexander raised an eyebrow.

"Thank me for what?"

"Over there in the Security Council."

Nick Fury said to Alexander: "These days, I know that the Security Council has been trying to hold a hearing on me as well, and it was only thanks to you that they agreed to wait for me to finish the affairs on the federal side first." ”

The hearings in the federal judicial system alone have almost exhausted him in the past few days.

What if there was another Security Council hearing?

Nick Fury felt like he was really going to be overwhelmed.

Fortunately!

Nick Fury said to Alexander with a grateful expression, "I have a good big brother and a good teacher!" ”

If Horton Louis is Luke's promoter.

Then Alexander Pierce is the one who promoted him Nick Fury.

It was Alexander Pierce who single-handedly promoted Nick Fury, who was only a field agent at the time, to management, and then gradually pushed him to the position of the current S.H.I.E.L.D. chief.

Nick Fury's mind recalls the days when Alexander was the head of S.H.I.E.L.D., and the days he learned how Alexander helped him in the Security Council.

The scenes of the past and the scenes of the present come to mind.

Nick Fury pursed his thick lips and said with a sincere apology: "I'm sorry, Sasha! ”

Alexander shook his head.

"Thank you just now, and now I'm sorry, I'm very emotional today."

"No, I'm serious."

Nick Fury shook his head and looked at Alexander in a deep voice: "At the beginning, you advised me not to be rash, but I didn't listen, which led to the current situation, causing you trouble, and causing you to be in charge of S.H.I.E.L.D. for me these days." ”

Alexander listened to Nick Fury's sincere words, opened his mouth, and then couldn't help but look down at the wine glass in his hand.

No way.

He suddenly found that he couldn't help but have a trace of unwanted thoughts in his heart.

These days, he does seem to be helping out with S.H.I.E.L.D. affairs for Nick Fury, who is not available.

But......

He's just busy taking advantage of Nick Fury's distraction to insert some Hydra agents into S.H.I.E.L.D.

Alexander took a deep breath, looked up, looked at One-Eyed and was very grateful, and once again regarded him as a big brother, Nick Fury, smiled, moved to the side, and finally reached out and patted Nick Fury's shoulder: "The next time you encounter this kind of thing, try to discuss it with me, you have been the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. for five years, the water of the Federation is too deep, you can't grasp it." ”

Nick Fury nodded earnestly.

"I will."

"Okay, there is no need to say these words of thanks and apologies in the future."

Alexander changed the topic in time, and talked to Nick Fury about the purpose of this visit: "Don't worry about the post-holiday hearing of the Department of Justice, I made an appointment with the directors of several of these law enforcement agencies yesterday to sit down and talk, and they don't have to play you to death." ”

Nick Fury looks at Alexander.

Alexander shook his head and said: "This matter, the main reason is that the public opinion on the west coast is too fierce, and after the holiday, that group of Diao people will have a holiday, and when the heat comes down, you can just kick out the agents who were named by the judiciary." ”

Just right.

The agents named by the judiciary are all real S.H.I.E.L.D. agents that Nick Fury has cultivated over the years.

Take advantage of this opportunity to kick them out.

What a joke.

How could there be unsociable S.H.I.E.L.D. agents in the office building of the Snake and Shield Bureau.

Alexander's one-eyed contraction: "All kicked? ”

Alexander nodded: "Yes, this matter, if you don't hand over a few people out, they will definitely not give up, after handing over people, the rest of the things will be easy to do, it's nothing more than how many things to do, by the way, do you have 10 million over there?" ”

Nick Fury opened his mouth: "Almost." ”

That's what I reported according to your bank deposit.

It's better for men to be poorer.

If you are poor, he won't jump.

You've jumped a little bit in the past few years, isn't it because your wallet is bulging?

It just so happens that this time I also emptied your wallet and honestly stayed in the position of S.H.I.E.L.D. chief, isn't it good to be a puppet?

Alexander thought in his heart, and nodded with a calm face: "Okay, then you will give 10 million, and I will make up for the rest." ”

This time, there were 12 law enforcement agencies working together.

Even if each director is one million, it will take 1,250.

But......

Which of these directors can fly away with a million.

This is a special federation, not some mysterious eastern power.

As everyone knows.

Prices in the Federation are very high.

Nick Fury obviously knew this, and when he heard Alexander's words, a grateful expression once again appeared: "Sa ......"

Alexander directly raised his hand to interrupt and drank all the wine in the cup: "Okay, remember to transfer the money, I'll take care of these things, it just so happens that today is Christmas Eve, tomorrow is Christmas, take advantage of the holiday, rest and rest, I'll go first." ”

As he spoke, Alexander got up from the couch and prepared to leave.

Nick Fury also got up.

"I'll send you."

"No ......"

"Jingle bell!"

When Alexander waved his hand to see Nick Fury off, the voice of the phone ringing in his arms interrupted his words.

"Tokoku's."

After Alexander took out his personal phone, he looked at the caller's name on it, frowned, glanced at Nick Fury, took a deep breath, connected the phone, and said with a smile: "Good morning, Song Xian......"

Before his words fell, his expression gradually stiffened with the voice of the director of the Middle East country on the phone.

After a while.

The phone hangs up.

Alexander took the phone off his ear with a stiff expression, and then silently put the phone back in his arms.

Nick Fury, who was on the side, suddenly had a bad premonition.

The next second.

Alexander's gaze fell on him.

"Nick, where did you get the 50 million dollars you lost to the FBI?"
