Charlotte Stark: Repetition (Book 2)

«Chap. 4»

•°•°•°•°•
Steve was wondering why Charlie decided to go to one of the biggest factories, who manufactured different things for the Army, and the Navy.

"Shouldn't we do this the legal way? Like call that guy you were working with?" Steve asked as he pulled his shield off of the strap on his back.

"Jarvis is doing a background check on him. He's not who he says he is, there's something not right about him." Charlie says as she pulls her gun out of its holster.

They walked up to the factories doors which were chained shut, and caution tape surrounded the premise. Charlie simply went under the tape and Steve stood back; hesitant to go under it.

"Come on, what could possibly go wrong, Stevie?" she asked, batting her eye lashes at him.

He shook his head, "Let's see, we could be possible felons, and we could spend time in the slammer."

Charlie smiled at him, "Well, we wouldn't want to ruin your golden boy rep, now would we? I'll take the blame no worry." she said as she walked over to Steve.

"What are you-"

Before he could finish his sentence, Charlie grabbed his shield and broke the lock. She smiled at him, and he kissed her forehead as he took his shield back.

They walked into the dark factory not wanting to turn on any lights because it might draw attention to crime scene.

It was eerily quiet, all you could hear were the echoes their shoes were making on the cement floors.

They both walked up to the elevator, and Charlie pressed the button.
"They cut the power off completely. Looks like we're taking the stairwell." she said as she passed Steve a flashlight.

The stairwell was pitch black, and Charlie led the way up the stairs. Usually, a female would be the one to cling onto the male's arm, while he led the way.

Charlie shined her flashlight on the board and it said 'Fourth Floor'.
"Here's our stop." she said, but when she turned the handle, it was locked.

"Stand back, Cap." she said and Steve moved to the side, "Wait, doll, I can-"
She kicked the door in, and Steve whistled.

"I love you to death, Stevie, but I can manage." she said, and placed a kiss on his cheek.

She led the way down a couple of hallways until they came to the right one. She slowly walked down the hallway, and began to look around.

There was tape placed on the floor where all of the bodies used to be, and it still looked like a massacre.

"Okay, Steve, we need to find an office of some sort so I can hack into the system and check every workers file." She said, and Steve began to check all of the rooms until he found one with a computer.

Steve whistled at Charlie, and they both walked into the dark office.
"Dang it! The powers off, remember?" Charlie sighed, "Looks like we're going to be doing the old fashion way."

Steve smiled, "Just the way I like it." he said as he made his way to the file cabinet.

Both Steve and Charlie searched through every single of the workers files, and none of them seem to have a criminal record, or have been written up by the boss.

"The man who runs this factory hasn't been in, in over a month. We need to find him soon, I'll have Jarvis find any facial recognitions in all of New York." she said as she walked to door, and began to search the hallway for anything that might be evidence.

"So whatever the Investigators didn't pick up, we can take. Because if they would've found it, it would be in an evidence bag." Charlie said as Steve followed her through the dark hallway.
