A retired reincarnation of a certain American film.

"Sir, Director Luke Dane's plane has just determined its route and is expected to arrive in Los Santos at five o'clock in the afternoon."

"Back to the city?"

"Yes."

"understood."

Hill, who was in his office, said something, then hung up the phone and leaned on the chair behind him.

For the reasons that Luke clearly stated yesterday, Hill also simply removed the SHIELD agents and satellites that were being followed.

This is the rule.

If the other party doesn't tell you, you can pretend that the other party doesn't know, but if the other party says it and you continue, you'll be in trouble.

And as Luke said on the phone, Poland was the last stop, and he was now teleported back to the city.

but……

Maria Hill only felt a little strange.

evidence?

She didn't.

Asking is a sixth sense unique to women.

Of course.

In fact, this is not entirely a woman’s sixth sense.

With this in mind, Hill took his cell phone, opened the social software, and found Rachel and Lorna's social circles.

As before, half an hour ago, a new round of selfies that had been carefully edited by the two women had been uploaded.

Hill looked at the pictures one by one.

These photos are almost the same as the previous photos, landscape photos, feature photos, and selfies.

But it just feels a little weird.

correct.

Why are there no hot spring photos?
Hill suddenly raised his eyebrows.

Just when her subconscious eyes lit up, she thought of the scene of Luke going to the hot spring alone yesterday, and felt that she had caught something brilliant. Just as she was about to get up, she overturned the idea that had just arisen.

Maybe Lorna and Rachel don't like hot springs.

It may also be because Luke wanted to talk to her, so he secretly avoided the two women. Just like before, Luke would occasionally leave the two women while he was in Seoul, or far away in Beehive, or far away in Texas. lover calls.

Wait a moment.

lover? I?

What the hell are you thinking about?
Hill blinked, smiled silently, shook his head, closed the screen on his phone, and threw it back on the table.

It seems that this guy is really just traveling with his fiancée and sister.

Hill sighed.

She wasn't sighing because she didn't catch Luke's pigtail, but she was sighing because all this manpower and material resources were wasted just to verify a conjecture that might not exist.

Times are tough.

Because Nick Fury was suspected of embezzling public funds during her reign, after she took office, the Council of the Five Overlords was very concerned about SHIELD's financial situation.

Hill thought for a while, opened the notebook in front of him, opened a document, and started tapping the document, intending to write a report for his files, just in case the Council of the Five Overlords asked about this expenditure. statement.

Anyway, she doesn’t have much to spend money on. Over the years, after working 365 days of overtime and 300 days of overtime pay, plus money-generating funds and perfect financial management, Hill has easily over 100 million in funds for SHIELD. And no idea.

Not at all.

Because her total assets have exceeded 100 million.

but……

Just when Hill opened the document, knocked on it, and wrote the instructions, there was a knock on the office door.

"Enter."

"commander."

A female agent opened the door and walked in. She was young, about thirty years old, with blond hair and a beautiful complexion, but she had a tough temperament that could not be concealed.

"Rita."

Hill looked at the agent who came in, recognized this woman, temporarily closed his notebook, and said with a smile: "You're back from vacation?"

The female agent is an old employee of Sanfei. Before Hill took over, Rita had been her assistant for a period of time.

Half a month ago, because I had something to do at home, I took a vacation and went back to my hometown, Texas.

Yes.

Texas.

After all, only women from Texas can not only have a beautiful appearance, but also have this kind of toughness that seems extremely inconsistent but is natural.

But Rita is not here today to sell fakes.

Uh……

Not the main reason.

Rita didn't hesitate, but directly told one thing she saw when she went back this time.

"Sir, I think I saw Agent Natasha Romanoff's boyfriend Jack Allen in Texas."

"..."

Hill was slightly startled.

"Jack?"

"Correct."

"Are you sure?" Hill frowned.

Rita nodded, then shook her head: "The last time you and I went on a business trip to Los Santos, we met from a distance, but I can only guarantee that there are eight layers of similarities, because I asked my colleagues in Los Santos, and they said Jack... Allen is in Los Santos."

Hearing this, Hill laughed and said, "Maybe I saw it wrong."

Rita nodded, and then told something that had been circulating in the town since she returned this time: "It's possible, but when I went back this time, people in the town said that there seemed to be two people nearby, who had been I asked about the church, but they entered the church and left after sitting for a short time. Then I asked about it, and the people who inquired about the church were a white man and a middle-aged man with an Asian face. I found a photo of Jack Allen, and they also Say, it’s somewhat similar.”

Well known.

The Federation is vast and sparsely populated.

Even more so in Texas.

And because of the simple folk customs of Texas and the blessing of Lone Star Faith, people in small towns in Texas are extremely united, friendly and helpful to each other. Therefore, some things, especially when something new happens, will always spread quickly in such a small town.

For example, a white man and an Asian man came to a small town and did nothing but like to go to various churches, and especially like to hang out in cemeteries.

When Hill heard this, the expression on his face became a little serious.

Well known.

Luke didn't move, so Jack went first.

In Hill's mind, this has become a law for predicting Luke's actions.

Hill named it.

Luke's formula!

soon.

Melinda May's video call goes through.

"commander."

"plum."

After Hill got through, he asked directly: "Where is Natasha now?"

The words fell.

Natasha on the side popped up from beside Melinda: "Sir?"

Hill raised an eyebrow.
"Not with Jack today."

"Sir..."

Natasha couldn't help but said: "Sir, I am in a work relationship. You said so yourself. You won't hold me accountable for a work relationship now."

Hill did not change the topic: "Jack is not in Los Santos?"

Natasha also heard that Hill was talking about business and was not being naughty, so she said seriously: "Yeah, when I woke up in the morning, we went to have breakfast together, and then he went to work, and I came to work too, what? Already?"

Jack is still in Los Santos?
Hill was confused, but he didn't hide it. Instead, he revealed what Rita had just discovered when she returned to her hometown: "Rita said that she seemed to have seen Jack when she returned to her hometown this time."

Natasha and Melinda looked at each other.

"Suspected of Jack?"

"Yes, Rita isn't sure, but she feels the need to report it."

Hill said: "Natasha, are you sure that Jack was in Los Santos during Luke's trip?"

Natasha also nodded very simply, and even couldn't help complaining: "Now I have a wardrobe to hang clothes for him."

Melinda on the side joked: "It's okay, it's just a wardrobe. Anyway, you still have so many wardrobes and shoe cabinets."

Natasha ignored Melinda, but after saying this, she seemed to think of something.

Hill noticed Natasha's expression.

"what happened?"

"But if there is anything unusual, there is indeed it."

"what?"

Natasha thought for a while, then shook her head: "Maybe I guessed wrong. This guy sometimes talks in his sleep at night. I asked once, and Jack said that he has always had the habit of talking in his sleep."

Melinda waved her hand.

She thought Natasha had discovered something special.

Is this all about feelings?

Hill also smiled and shook his head.

Natasha followed these words, recalling the previous scenes of Jack talking in his sleep, and then frowned: "I remember one time when he talked in his sleep, it seemed that he did mention something about the church."

Hill's eyes lit up instantly.

"you sure?"

"uncertain."

Natasha shook her head, and then couldn't help but look at Hill: "Commander, in the middle of the night, since that guy came back, I don't know why, he feels a lot more energetic. I'm also very tired. How can I be a hundred times more energetic?" I’m 100% sure that what I heard is true.”

Hill shook his head speechlessly.

in the video screen.

The three women looked at each other, all with their eyebrows lowered, as if they were thinking in a daze.

after awhile.

A ding-dong sound.

Hill came to his senses and turned on his phone. Rita sent a photo.

turn on.

Hill looked at the photo that seemed to have been taken secretly, raised his eyebrows, and directly shared the photo into the video call interface.

Melinda and Natasha were also stunned when they saw this photo.

"This, Jack?"

"Commander, this photo..."

"Rita's friend in her hometown sent this photo. This photo was taken by her friend when the guy who seemed to be Jack and his friend were leaving the church after causing a big fuss."

Hill was talking about the origin of this candid photo, and then said with a slight frown: "I also look like Jack, but I feel that the age is a little inappropriate. He seems to be slightly older than Jack." , By the way, Natasha, is there any brother in Jack’s profile?”

When Natasha saw this photo, she seemed to have guessed something. She stared at it and gritted her teeth and said, "Brother, he doesn't have any, but he has quite a few."

Hill and Melinda were slightly startled.

next second.

The two of them seemed to have thought of something.

"Is this Jack's clone?"

"its not right."

Melinda frowned and said: "We have all cremated the clones in the hive base, right? Our people are watching."

Hill seemed to have thought of something at this moment.

She thought that after the last time she came back, Natasha had only told her one person about Jack's behavior at the cloning base.
