"Look, I'm leaving, now. I'll take care of it." You assured Yelena over the phone as you crossed the parking garage to your vehicle, unaware of the trap set for you. "Oh, sure, you take care of everything. Maybe that's why you're always cleaning up after Cross? No?" Yelena answered. "Don't start, Anya." You warned, getting into your car. "What? I'm just saying-" Anya started to defend her comments when Bucky pressed a button on his tablet from his hiding spot, and your car started. "What the-" Your focus shifted from the conversation to the doors locking. (©TRS2024CAI)

"Oh, you've got to be f-cking kidding me." You sighed as your car backed out of its parking spot. "Hello? What's going on?" Yelena's voice called from your phone. "I'll call you back!" you blurted, hanging up the phone and gripping your steering wheel. "Sh-t! What the fu-?" You gasped as your car screeched into a parking spot at the back corner of the parking garage.

"Have you forgotten how to drive, sweetheart?" Bucky's voice echoed through the garage as he came out of his hiding spot. "So, you're screwing with my f-cking car, now?" You glared at Griffin through the passenger side window. "You don't seem to mind when it's not about work." He quipped, using his tablet to roll down the window as you pointed your gun at him.

"Now, come on. Let's not fight." Griffin insisted, wrestling your gun out of your hand. "Why do you insist on always getting in my damn way?" You asked, glaring at Griffin "Someone's gotta make sure you and your little pals behave." Griffin answered, leaning onto your open car window. "What game are you playing this time, Cross?" You asked. "No game this time, sweetheart. This is what you would call 'stalling'." He grinned.

"Stalling? Hold on! Don't you dare walk away! Sh-t!" You shouted as Griffin turned to walk away and the sound of sirens filled the garage. "Don't worry, I'll make it up to you later!" Griffin called over his shoulder to you as armed SWAT officers surrounded your car, their weapons pointed at you from all directions.
