Finally you came into my life 🤍

Chapter 29 ~ Someone set me a trap

Two weeks have passed and the Avengers were still away in Nevada.
With Steve we weren't so much in touch, because he was afraid that someone might be tracking our phones.

Me on the other hand I was working like crazy along with Fury and Sharon in a new case in Washington, so I was busy enough not to think about Steve and how much I miss him.
This new case was brutal. It seems that Valentina Allegra or a.k.a. Madame Hydra as Coulson has named her, is furious about the fact the Avengers are taking down HYDRA and her Agents.
Well, that was my theory. I don't have clues.

"Y/n how can you possibly think that Valentina is behind the killing of our agents?" Sharon asked me.
"Because, she's the only high member of HYDRA that is still alive and the fact that the Avengers are about to end it, makes her furious. Who else it can be?"
"AIM maybe?" She said and I rolled my eyes.
"AIM is finished when they destroyed that submarine." I said. "HYDRA has no ally now."
"Take the bodies to your lab and tell us when you finish." Fury said and I nodded.
The bodies were murdered in a violent and sick way. And Valentina is a person who is capable of doing such a thing.

While I was in lab with some partners and we were examining the bodies, my phone rang.
"Steve?!" I asked with a smile.
"Sweetheart, I'm so glad I hear your voice." He said and I was pretty sure that he was tired.
"Are you ok?"
"Yes, yes! A little tired, but good. You?"
"Well, I'm great because I'm working on a new case. Brutal murders of some SHIELD Agents."
"For real?"
"Yes! I'm on my lab right now, but I'm pretty sure about the killer."
"I don't doubt it! You're an excellent criminologist."
"Oh you! I've missed you!"
"I've missed you too! These 2 weeks have been torture, but I promise I'll be there for Christmas."
"I just want you to be safe."
"I will. So, how is your partnership with Sharon?" He hesitantly asked.
"I swear Steve I don't understand how you were a couple with her."
"What did she do?"
"We can't communicate. I say white, she says black. I say hot, she says cold. She makes my job super hard."
"Why don't you talk to Fury?"
"I don't want to sound like a jealous and paranoid woman."
"Don't think like that. Talk with Fury and discuss it like grown ups. He'll understand."
"I hope so! She has opinion about everything. From how I'll do my job to when I'll finish my shift." I said furious, but Steve laughed. "Don't laugh, Rogers. I'm serious, one day I'll throw her out of Bruce's lab."
"If you won't let her, she can't command you or makes you mad. Be a professional and talk to Fury." Steve advised me.
"I will. I'm sorry, I wanted to hear your voice, not to talk about her."
"I love it when you get passionate about something." He said with a low voice.
"You drive me crazy, Captain! Can't wait to feel you in my arms again."
"Not only in your arms, sweetheart." He said seductively and I gasped.
"For the love of God, Steve. I'm in the lab with people. Have mercy!"
"For now. I have to go, but we'll talk soon, ok?"
"Oh, now you leave me. After what you've said to me." He chuckled and I bit my lips.
"I love you."
"I love you too, Steve. Take care, ok?" We hang up and I took a long breath to calm my self.

Suddenly, while I was examine the bodies and looking carefully at the photos of the crime scenes, Sharon burged in with two SHIELD Agents.
"Excuse me! This is a lab here and we're working." I said furious.
"You're coming with me." She said and I gave her a look.
"What?!"
"You heard me. Either you follow me or I'll take you to Fury with the help of these two." She said and I looked at the two men behind her. "And it won't be pleasant."
"What's going on? What do you want?" I asked her, now mad because I was confused.
"Follow me and don't play dumb, because apparently you're not." Sharon said as she grabbed my arm, forcing me to follow her.
"Let go of me!" I yelled. "Tell me what happened! What did I do?"
Then she nodded to the two agents and they grabbed both of my arms.
It was pointless to resist, so I let them took me.

After few minutes, we were in the interrogation room.
"Sit!" Sharon told me and I did it.
"Can you tell me what's the matter? Why I'm here?"
One of the agents handcuffed my hands with the table and I gasped.
"What the hell?" I screamed. "Where's Fury? I want to talk to him."
"Oh, he's on his way." Sharon said coldly.
