ITโS QUITE THE PIVOT, FIRST COMING OFF AS A COP AND THEN REMINDING HIM OF A โFRIENDโ โโโโ though the shift to the latter isnโt exactly doing much to put her at ease. sheโs got plenty of โfriendsโ too. โgood terms with this friend or?โ but she bites her tongue long enough to listen with a fair bit of amusement as he tries to PIN HER DOWN now that beat cop is off the table. ( ย is she going to tell him that heโs RIGHT more often than heโs WRONG with this new grab - bag of guesses? probably not. but itโs still a bit uncanny to have him stand there and more or less just reciting her RESUME back at her. ย )ย
rogue agent? โsomething like that.โ at least he didnโt add โenemy of the stateโ โโโ thatโs a little harder to explain away. โand no ladder to worry about, either. save you some time.โ
but at least they can agree on the fact neither one of them feels much like pulling a TRIGGER for the next ten minutes or so; and she answers his condition by making a point to slide her finger off the trigger and show him her palms. โthen i guess weโre good.โ
she extends the toe of her boot out to nudge at the foot of the man she was SUPPOSED to be shaking down for information right about now, the realization settling that sheโs going to have to play HIDE - N - SEEK in a dead manโs pockets for a bit in the hopes that flying back all this way hasnโt been a COMPLETE waste of her time.
ย ย ย ย ย ย ย โif thatโs what you want to do to pass the time, sure. we can trade stories. at least itโll make it less awkward while iโm looking for his phone.โ she tucks her FNX back into the holster under her right arm with a sigh as she begins to crouch down. she really hates this part โโโ as much as she usually hates interrogations, at least sheโs usually good at getting them to TALK.
ย ย ย ย ย ย ย โcarter,โ she doesnโt offer up a first name right away; doesnโt really see a reason for it. ( ย and itโs not out of concern heโs going to hear her full name and put two and two together. sheโs nowhere near narcissistic enough to think that with everything else thatโs going on, the US governmentโs got her face and name in tandem with WANTED everywhere like theyโre promoting her new single. ย ) โand youโre frank. iโm familiar. SHIELD had a file on you,โ SHIELD had files on everyone. โhelp me flip him over?โ
his head shook a bit but for the most part frank was silent for the moment because something like that, wasnโt a confident response. but he also got around, and in his pursuits he heard things, knew things, and something about her was familiar. not that he could put an exact pin in it. but her features, or something. heโd seen it, where? he was drawing an unfortunate blank as he pushed his tongue against his bottom lip and his head nodded.ย
โ guess we are. โ he responded as he glanced around before he was looking back to her as his hand brushed against his thigh, his ability to grab for his weapon again should that change was definitely there. jaw shifted as he looked back to the blond as she offered the exchange of stories to avoid an awkward nature. but it was the name that left her that was utterly distracting to the coined punisher.ย
carter. yeah he now knew why she felt so familiar. sharon carter. he didnโt NEED her to tell him her first name. she was one of the most wanted people by the government, the country. not that he trusted their opinion anymore. they wanted him too. as marine heโd been pointed in a direction and ordered to do things to innocent people that made him weary of money, power, and all the blood that came from him, his family included. if they were hunting her, it was probably for the wrong reasons and she was more an ALLY then an enemy of the state.ย
she probably understood his side of things NOW better than ever.ย โ course they did... โ he spoke as she mentioned S.H.I.E.L.D and their files. frank moved down and as he shifted one knee into the ground he grabbed the guy across his back and pulled him towards himself turning him over with a lot more ease than her, not to say she wasnโt strong but a guy THIS BIG and all dead weight. as he dropped so she could check him for his phone he turned his gaze towards her and then arched a brow in a curious manner.ย
โ you know i would have thought state side would be a bit of a risk for you. most wanted woman in the damn country, this guy really worth it? โ
