The rest of the night goes as planned. No one interferes, but something doesn't feel right. They never asked for the invitation to be shown. Things had several different chances of going wrong but it didn't. I don't have that good of luck. 

I step back into my car, handing the duffle off the Natasha as she passes by. 

"Time to go everyone." i say

"That went smoothly." Tony says 

"You're not the one currently in a car driving away from a building where you just threatened a very powerful, dumbass man" I laugh

"That's fair." Tony says 

"I'm at the pickup point." Bucky says through the comms. I continue to drive, and the comms stay silent. Leaving me to my thoughts, until Sam's voice comes over the comms. 

"Licenses plates changed, Bucky's been picked up. We're headed back to the meet point." She says. Which I'm about to answer, until I see headlights behind me. 

"Becca do you copy?" Steve asks 

"That bastard." I whisper

"What? What's going on?" Bucky asks 

"Give me a second. Stay alert." I say, before turning right down a road. I travel for a bit and then take another right. I proceed until I've made a full box. "Damn it." I say "Alright, he's got people following me. They haven't intercepted yet. Are there any on your end?" I ask

"No, no one here." Steve answers

"Good, it means they most likely didn't see our handoff. They still think I have the money." I say

"Remind me how that's a good thing?" Bruce's quiet voice asks over the comms 

"Hey, everyone you did a really good job in there by the way. It was incredibly helpful to have you guys talking into my ear." I tell them 

"Least we could do Becca, do you think you can lose the ones following you?" 

"What do you think I've been doing Stark?" I ask, responding to his question 

I speed up and they speed up with me, "Alright, fine" I growl. "Time for plan B." I say

"Wait...what's plan B?" Sam asks 

"I'm working on that." i say as I shift gears, my flashy sports car revving faster. 

"We're coming to you." Steve says 

"No!" I shout "Damn it Rogers I gave you all an order when you let me run this op. You're all still alive. The timeline is still on track, and you have the money to fix the jet. There are three bullets in my chest, it's time to let me go. I'll make it back if I make it back. Don't wait any longer than you have to." I tell them

As I race though the street, I dodge around cars. The sound of bullets hitting my car, makes the coms light up with talk again "Give me a damn minute everyone." I yell, shifting again and coming to a stop. The cars racing in front of me now, I spin, and head back the other way, toward the other end of the city. Away from where the groups going, and toward the bridge.

"Where are you going Becca!?" Bucky shouts over coms

"What?" I ask confused "I told you all to go back! Not follow me!" 

"We're not, but you've got the media videoing this. Cops are behind you all!" He shouts, and when I look in my rear view mirror I curse. Cops have their sirens on behind us, but the three black SUV's behind me refuse to stop chasing. Or shooting for that matter.
