The Third Winter Soldier

Chapter 50 Receiving the Bounty

Lilith didn't know that Carl hadn't actually left. On the contrary, he returned quietly and overheard her conversation with Rosen. She drove Rosen to the company. Along the way, Rosen kept silent as he had come. His silence at the time was more like a demonstration against Lilith, but now, his silence was because he was speechless and embarrassed after seeing his heart clearly.

Lilith looked up at the rearview mirror, through which she saw Rosen turning his head and looking out the window, unconsciously turning the phone in his hand, her eyes were a little dazed, she quietly retracted her gaze, remembering the conversation in the container pile just now, Luo Sen Sen's sobriety was really unexpected. She didn't mean it. She was completely irritated by his attitude when he talked about Carl. The magic of life!

As for Karl, she couldn't help sighing in her heart, stubborn brat, if you want to shake this guy's belief, it's better to let her go to war!If he really doesn't want to believe it, then forget it!

"Lilith!" Rosen shouted from the back seat, Lilith came back to her senses, and quickly turned her head to look at him.He pointed at her and said, "Your phone is ringing!"

Lilith turned her head and took out the old-fashioned bar computer from her trouser pocket while the red light was on, "Hello? Who?"

On the other end of the phone, a male voice sounded very familiar: "Excuse me, is this Lilith Schmidt's phone number?"

"I am!" Lilith replied briefly, and without waiting for the other party to introduce herself, she said with certainty: "You are that Mr. Detective!"

"Uh, ah, yes, that's right! I'm...Edgar Lommos." Edgar introduced himself somewhat embarrassedly, "You, can you tell it's me?"

"Yes!" Lilith nodded, "Are you telling me that I can withdraw money?"

"Ah, yes, that's right!" Edgar sighed. "I'm glad you remember me. By the way, are you free later this evening? I'm in New York now!"

Lilith smiled, of course she remembered this good-looking detective, "Did you bring the money?"

"Yes, are you free?" Edgar asked again.

"Of course!" Lilith replied affirmatively, "Tell me the location and time, I'm driving now and it's inconvenient to talk to you."

"Oh, so, okay, I understand, I will send you a text message!" Edgar said understandingly, "Please reply me when you receive the text message!"

"Okay!" Lilith watched the red light change to green, hung up the phone decisively, threw the phone on the passenger seat, and started the car.

Rosen turned to Lilith and said, "Are you going to meet an agent?"

Lilith nodded and responded casually.

Why do you want to meet?Rosen watched her, silently swallowed the question that was about to be blurted out, and forced himself to turn his head to look out the car window.

After a while, an old-fashioned text message sounded in the car. Lilith didn't check it right away. She didn't go to check it until she encountered a traffic jam. Then she turned to Rosen and said, "Nemo Sir! I need an hour off."

Rosen heard the sound and looked over. There was no expression on her face. He pondered for a while and said, "What time? Where are you going?"

Lilith raised her eyebrows and didn't answer.

Rosen realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, coughed in embarrassment, and asked subtly, "You didn't do anything illegal, did you?"

"So far, nothing!" Lilith looked at him, "I only need an hour!"

Rosen nodded curtly and said, "It's only an hour!"

Lilith smiled and said, "Okay, I see!"

Rosen didn't speak anymore, he clenched the phone in his hand, the muscles and bones on the back of his hand protruded from the skin due to too much force, beating slightly, he stared out the window, with complex emotions in his eyes.

Ten o'clock at night, Queens, a sandwich shop.

Lilith walked through the quiet street, pushed open the door of the sandwich shop, and saw the handsome young detective sitting at a table and chair by the door, holding a sandwich in his hand and eating silently, his eyes were wide open. Staring out the glass window, it seems to be observing something.She walked behind him and followed his gaze to see a small bank across the street that was unattended 24 hours a day. He didn't realize that Lilith was standing behind him, still eating the sandwich bit by bit, her eyes unblinking. Stare at that bank.

Lilith shook her head speechlessly, walked across to him, pulled a wooden chair and sat down, watching him.

Startled by the sound of the chair being pulled, Edgar turned his eyes to her reluctantly. Then, he was taken aback for a moment before smiling, and said, "You are here! Sit!"

Lilith crossed her legs, hugged her knees with her hands naturally, watched him eat the last bite of the sandwich, and said, "Where's the money?"

Edgar chewed his mouthful of sandwiches, pointed to his mouth at her, and gestured to wait.

Lilith watched him swallow the sandwich vigorously, then grabbed the drink on the table and drank it down. Just as she was about to speak, she saw him make a booing gesture to her, and turned her head to look at the bank again. , couldn't help but said impatiently: "I only have one hour, and now I have four or ten minutes left to play, you give me the money."

Edgar looked at her when he heard her words, and said apologetically, "Can you wait a moment?"

"No!" Lilith folded her hands on her chest in displeasure, "If you are on official business, you don't have to ask me out now!"

Edgar showed a shameful expression, finally looked at Lilith squarely, and said in a low voice, "Sorry!"

"I don't need your apology, where's the money?" She held out her hand to him.

Edgar glanced left and right subconsciously, and found that the black-bearded boss standing behind the counter and a young man in front of the counter were looking at them. He smiled embarrassedly, and took out a sealed bag from the black backpack beside him. "I'm sorry, I'm indeed on official business." I glanced at the bank while speaking, "This belongs to your bounty, because it was directly reviewed from New York, so I take advantage of this action, by the way I went to the headquarters to help you get it out, hey, where are you going?"

While he was chattering, Lilith opened the envelope and quickly clicked on the banknotes inside. After confirming that it was correct, she got up and left. When she heard his question, she just turned her back to him and shook the envelope in her hand, then pushed the door and left. sandwich shop.

Edgar scratched his cheek and watched her leave. Thinking that she had already got the money, he sat down again and continued to stare at the bank opposite.

As soon as Lilith opened the door and went out, she saw a car parked in front of the sandwich shop. She folded the envelope and stuffed it into her trouser pocket. She turned around and walked in the direction she came from. After a few steps, there were chaotic footsteps. Noise, she paused slightly, then turned her head to look.

Behind her, four or five burly men jumped out of the car and rushed into the unattended 24-hour bank. A blue light flashed quickly. Those people seemed to be ... robbing the bank?

Lilith hesitated for a moment, thinking that Edgar had been staring at the bank, so it could be seen that the FBI had known in advance that there would be a robbery here. Just as she was thinking about it, there was a loud bang on the door of the sandwich shop, and then she saw Edgar holding his hand. His hand/gun hit the glass door, and he squatted down covering his face, as if... the hit was a bit hard.The corner of her mouth twitched, and then she saw a teenager push the door out and run away quickly.

Although Edgar was monitoring the scene, there were no other detectives or policemen present at the moment. She turned her head to look at the bank, where the robbers were arrogantly filling money, laughing from time to time.

Lilith raised her eyebrows. If she went to stop these people, she would not have enough time. If she didn't stop them, even the detective Edgar who hit the glass seemed unable to catch them. Good-looking, with a good figure... Maybe he can't beat any big guy in there.Just as she was hesitating, a red figure leaped towards her. Lilith took a closer look and laughed. The guy who appeared at this moment was the Spider-Man she had seen at the explosion site not long ago.

I saw him tiptoe into the bank, then closed the door of the bank, and put on a pose that he thought he was handsome.

The corner of Lilith's mouth twitched slightly, and seeing Edgar stumbling towards the bank, she immediately turned her head and left the scene.
