Carlyle reached down and checked their phone. They hadn’t heard from him in a while. And while they weren’t his keeper, Ward had mentioned catching back up after his trip. That was a while ago.
Curiosity, flecked with concern finally wore through Carly’s resolve and they started a new message to the burner he’d texted from last.
[unsent text:] Hey Mister. need a lift?
They erased the message. Was that the kind of image you want to send the man who would be the next leader of HYDRA? The one that you wanted to get to know better? And work with?
Pffttt. Normally Carly wouldn’t care. Normally, they’d not give a second thought what the person they was working for thought. OR whether they dropped off the face of the earth.
So, then why did it make them frown when there were no messages on their phone?
[text:] Got a faster plane. Want to see how fast we can make it to Port. St, LaBella? And back?
