All This Time

Chapter 10

I stayed sat for a good while. There were so many drunks you could smell the alcohol the moment you walked in the room.

Which I did.

The bartender would look at me every now and then but I never paid any mind to it. I just asked for drinks and when I tried to pay for it he said he's put it on Sam's tab..or rather the Smiling Tigers tab.

"What bring you here sweetie?" I hear from next to me.

I could smell the whisky off this man's breath as soon as he sat next to me.

Speaking of drunks..

I was ready to ignore him until he slid his hand on my ass and that's when I grabbed his arm quickly. I threw my other one to the side with my fist balled and hit him across the face. He backed up groaning in pain and I kicked him sending him across the floor.

I hear guns cock and I look to see some aiming at me and that's when I notice the bartender wave his hand to tell them to put their firearms down.
I sit down slowly as they all turn away and mind their business.

The bartender just chuckles before speaking up.

"You are one strong chick. Did your boy teach you that?" He asks with a smile now.

I chuckled before taking a sip of my drink keeping eye contact with him.

The best way not to make this worse is to flirt.

"No," I say placing my glass down. "I teach myself," I say with a wink.

He runs his eyes over my body and before I could say anything I'm being pulled away. I look and to my surprise it's Bucky.

"What's wrong?" I ask as we're rushing out of there quickly.

"Change of plans. Selby's dead," Sam says next to me, looking down at the last part.

"What?- what happened?"

"We'll explain later but we need to go somewhere. Away from the city because now everyone here is going to be looking for us," Zemo says.

We start speed walking and I can't seem to keep up so I start to remove my heels and at that moment I hear shooting as I'm ducked down trying to take them off.

I look up to see a guy shooting towards us.

I feel Bucky yank my arm with him and I just drop my heels and leave them.

We start to run and I can feel the pain in my feet from running on these poorly made and bumpy roads.

"I can't run in these heels!" Sam shouts as we continue running.

I was starting to lose stamina as we got cornered and Bucky has me close to him and just when I think it's over we hear shots being made but not to us.

One by one the guys shooting at us go down and we look around trying to find our savior.

"You seem to have a guardian Angel," Zemo says as he reappears from disappearing moments ago as we were on a run.

"Well this is too perfect," We hear a female voice say from our right, down the road.

I watch as a blonde girl in a hoodie approaches us with her gun pointed toward us.

"Drop it Zemo."

"Sharon?" Bucky goes stepping closer as Zemo lowers his weapon to the ground.

He knows her?

"Who is she?" I whisper towards Bucky.

"This is Sharon Carter," Sam responds.

"Carter? As in P-Peggy Carter?" I ask again in a low whisper.
