Chapter 215: Taking Advantage of the Situation (Two in One)

"Does this guy know everything?"

Tommy's words made Barbara feel confused.

She didn't know where she had revealed her flaw, and the other party actually discovered something wrong.

"But this shouldn't be the case."

As a veteran agent, her actions were always cautious and there was no way anyone would notice her.

But if you say that the secret was leaked by SHIELD, that would be even more impossible.

This undercover operation is a secret one, and only three people in the entire SHIELD know about it.

One of them, of course, is herself.

The other two are Director Nick Fury and Agent Phil Coulson.

Therefore, if there was a leak, it must have been done by these two guys.

But Barbara thought about it and felt that this was impossible.

Send her here on a mission, then betray her right away.

Only a fool would do something that harms others and does not benefit oneself.

What’s more, they are two leaders who have always been shrewd.

Thinking of this, a flash of electricity suddenly passed through Barbara's mind, and she seemed to vaguely realize the truth of the matter.

"Could it be... this guy is trying to trick me?"

The more Barbara thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

She felt that Tommy didn't even realize that she was an agent.

Even the so-called traitor incident was completely fictitious and was purely a lie made up by the other party.

The purpose of Tommy doing this is most likely to get rid of him.

Yes, that's it.

Perhaps in Tommy's view, he had already made an energy gun for it, so it naturally lost its value.

They were also worried that she would defect and work for someone else, so they found this excuse to get rid of her openly!
Realizing this, Barbara's heartbeat began to steady and her thoughts became clearer.

She took a deep breath and tried to look calm.

She knew very well that it would be difficult for her to leave here today.

No matter what the truth is, Tommy's mind will not change to take her down.

Otherwise, the other party would not have arranged so many people in the room.

Danger could come at any time, but Barbara became more and more calm.

She knew very well that the more panicked she was, the more mistakes she would make.

Only by remaining calm and keeping a cool head can you find the only chance of survival.

"Boss, what do you mean by that? Do you think I'm the traitor? This is ridiculous!"

Barbara acted very angry, as if she was being wronged.

It’s true, her acting skills are very good and she grasps the details very well.

If someone else sat in Tommy's position, they might really be deceived by Barbara.

Unfortunately, it was Tommy who was conducting the interrogation at the moment.

There is absolutely no way Barbara could get away with this.

"Barbara Morse, a SHIELD agent, gymnastics champion, and a doctorate in biology, has performed field missions for SHIELD many times and has made outstanding contributions..."

Looking at the information in his hand, Tommy spoke freely, "The information also says that you are currently dating a guy named Lance Hunter. Your relationship is very good and you are even talking about marriage."

At this point, he looked up, stared into Barbara's eyes, and said with a half-smile: "Am I right, Dr. Barbara Morse? Or do you prefer the name 'Mockingbird'?"

After hearing what Tommy said, the last bit of hope in Barbara's heart was completely shattered.

Her face turned pale for a moment, but soon returned to normal.

Having your identity exposed is not the most fatal thing.

What panicked her the most was that Tommy knew so much.

He even knew the identity of her lover.

"How is this possible? How did he know?"

The more Barbara thought about it, the more horrible it became.

It would be fine if her identity was recognized, and it can be barely explained away by the fact that she was not careful enough.

But where did Tommy get the information? How did he know her personal feelings?

You know, few people know about her and Lance Hunter.

Only my two superiors and a few friends around me know about it.

In this situation, Tommy was able to get intelligence. What kind of information could he not get?

Could it be that the real traitor is in S.H.I.E.L.D.?

How else would Tommy know so much?

Barbara sighed inwardly, knowing that there was no way this matter could be resolved peacefully today.

Tommy knew her situation so well that there was no point in her denying it.

"You knew my identity from the beginning, right?"

Although Barbara asked a question, her tone was quite certain.

Things have come to this point, how could she not understand what is going on?
Tommy knew who she was a long time ago, but instead of exposing her, he used the same trick against her.

Taking advantage of her eagerness to complete the task, the energy gun project was handed over to her and the desired technology was successfully obtained.

After she completely lost her value, today's showdown came about.

Tommy smiled slightly, acknowledging Barbara's guess.

Of course, considering Barbara's own value, he was still willing to give her a chance to live.

Tommy thought to himself, tapped the table with his fingers, and then said lightly: "Barbara, you are a smart person. You should know the current situation. It will not do you any good to continue to resist."

Barbara didn't respond immediately, but first quickly looked around the room, looking for a possible escape route.

She was unarmed and it was impossible for her to fight head-on.

The only way out is to use wisdom.

In order to delay time, she had to continue to play along with Tommy.

"Just tell me, what do you want?"

Tommy smiled and replied, "It's simple. I need you to continue working for me. As long as you are willing to cooperate, I can forgive your past and guarantee your safety. I will make sure that SHIELD will not hurt you.

Not only that, your treatment will also be upgraded as before. No matter what conditions SHIELD has offered you, I will give it double!"

"Double? Are you serious?"

Barbara seemed moved, but in fact she was sneering.

Even though Tommy said nice things, she didn't believe a word he said.

What double treatment? That guy just wants to squeeze out her surplus value.

The day she can no longer provide information will be the day of her death.

However, even though she was thinking this in her heart, she remained calm on the surface, as if she was really thinking seriously.

"But what if I refuse?"

"Then there's no way."

Tommy's smile slowly disappeared, replaced by a hint of coldness.

"Giant God Company will never tolerate betrayal. The fate of traitors is only death."

As he spoke, he opened the drawer of his desk, pulled out a pistol, and pointed it at Barbara's head.

"Goodbye, Dr. Barbara Morse. No, it should be goodbye forever." Tommy put his finger lightly on the trigger and was about to shoot, but unexpectedly Barbara on the opposite side suddenly jumped up, picked up a pot of green plants on the table and threw it at him.

Seeing that the flowerpot was about to hit his face, Tommy instinctively reached out to block it.

At this moment, Barbara seized the opportunity decisively, and quickly flipped over the desk with her agile figure and rushed in front of Tommy.

In just a blink of an eye, she snatched Tommy's pistol and pointed it at its owner.

He is worthy of being a senior agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Barbara's actions were so fast that the others had no time to react.

By the time the guards came to their senses, it was too late.

"boss!"

Seeing that Tommy was in danger, combat captain Melvin immediately led the team forward.

Barbara hurriedly stopped him, gestured with a pistol, and said in a threatening tone:

"Don't come over here, your boss is in my hands. If you dare to act rashly, I will shoot him!"

Her eyes were firm and resolute, and she didn't seem to be joking.

Feeling the cold muzzle of the gun, Tommy's face immediately turned pale.

Obviously, he still underestimated Barbara. He did not expect that Barbara was so agile and could turn the tables in a flash.

At this moment, the offensive and defensive momentum of the two changed.

Threatening with Tommy's life, Barbara ordered all the guards present to lay down their weapons, prepared a fully gassed car for her, and then left in full view of everyone.

It soon disappeared.

Of course, they also have the kidnapped Tommy along with them.

Barbara thought clearly.

If she wants to escape successfully, she must keep Tommy by her side as a hostage.

Otherwise, she might not be able to drive far before being intercepted by many guards driving their cars, and then she would be truly unable to escape.

Seeing the car gradually disappear, Melvin and others finally relaxed.

"But send this woman away."

Melvin wiped the sweat from his forehead and let out a sigh of relief.

Just this performance almost exhausted him to death.

Fortunately, he had rehearsed in advance, otherwise he would have been exposed.

The other guards weren't much better.

When it comes to fighting, they are the best soldiers.

But asking them to act would be like asking for their lives.

It's even more exhausting than fighting for days and nights.

But there is no way, this is an order from the boss

No matter how difficult the situation is, they have no choice but to obey.

Just at this moment, assistant Donna happened to come over.

"Strange, what are you all doing here? Did something happen?"

"Oh, it's nothing, the boss was just kidnapped."

Melvin spoke in a relaxed tone and waved his hand nonchalantly.

As Tommy's loyal subordinate, he knew how powerful his boss was and there was no need for them to worry.

But Donna had no idea about this and immediately became nervous.

"What? The boss was kidnapped?!"

In an instant, Donna's voice rose eight levels and she jumped on the ground anxiously.

"Then what are you guys doing standing here? Why don't you drive after them?"

"Don't worry, Miss Paulson."

Donna's anxious behavior made Melvin couldn't help laughing and he almost laughed out loud.

He patted Donna's shoulder, motioning Donna to relax, and said in a comforting tone: "Don't worry, the boss will be fine. He had already anticipated what would happen today."

"Expected? What are you talking about?"

Donna said she found it hard to understand.

She didn't understand why Tommy would give up his good job and put himself in danger.

How can such a thing be possible in this world?
At this time, Kimberly also walked out of the building and appeared on the scene.

"Melvin didn't lie. This is the boss's plan. As for why he did that, you will know later."

Seeing that Kimberly said this, Donna stopped worrying about it.

Someone else might try to harm Tommy, but Kimberly never would.

After a long time, the two have already reached a relationship where they share the same fate.

Donna would never believe that Kimberly had two minds.

"Okay, Donna, just go back to work with peace of mind, and leave the rest to Melvin and the others.

"Yes, don't worry."

Melvin shrugged. "We just have to wait for the boss's next instructions."

……

Almost at the same time, Barbara was driving her car and speeding on the road to escape.

Although she successfully escaped from the den of wolves of Giant God Company, Barbara did not feel relaxed. Instead, she became more nervous.

She knew very well how excessive her behavior was today. If she were Tommy, he would definitely not let her go easily and would definitely send a large number of pursuers.

That's why she took Tommy with her.

Only in this way will the pursuers be cautious and dare not launch a pursuit easily.

And this is her only chance to escape safely.

"Seriously, where are we going?"

Tommy sat in the driver's seat, holding the steering wheel with both hands, his tone very calm.

It was like going on vacation, without any tension of being kidnapped.

Barbara was not interested in chatting with him. She just glanced at him and said coldly, "Don't talk nonsense. Just do what I say. As long as you cooperate honestly, I will let you go when the time comes."

"Well, the gun is in your hand, so of course you have the final say."

Tommy smiled and said nothing more, continuing to drive quietly.

Barbara didn't know if it was her illusion or some other reason, but she always felt something was wrong.

For various reasons, she really wouldn't kill Tommy.

But isn't this guy a little too relaxed?

Why did you turn on the radio and start listening to the radio?

Did you take her too lightly?
However, the song playing on the radio was quite nice and it slowly calmed her slightly uneasy heart.

Accompanied by melodious music, the car sped along and soon drove out of the city and into an extremely desolate suburb.

The roads in the suburbs are obviously not as smooth as those in the city, and the driving is extremely bumpy. Fortunately, the car has excellent shock absorption performance, which saved the two people in the car a lot of suffering.

After driving for a while, the car gradually slowed down and slowly stopped near a black car.

Under Barbara's "threat", Tommy opened the car door and got out.

Just at this moment, a person got out of the car on the opposite side and walked towards them.

"You guys are finally here. The sun is about to set as I waited."
