"we're coming" Evy said before putting the phone down "who was that?" dooley asked yawning "it's Krzeminski, they found Howard's inventions on a boat" she replied "what, aren't he's on his station with Sousa?" Jack asked chewing on his food "doesn't matter, we have to go" Dooley quickly stood up

"alright" evy mumbled following Dooley out "we're dropping you off" Jack said following behind her "I know where the boat is, how about you?" she asked turning to him "then tell me" he glared at her "stop it, you two" Dooley cuts them both off "Lenoir is coming with us, but only tonight. This will be the first and last Lenoir" evy smiled at chief knowing it won't be her last


"I want every box checked in and signed in" Daniel said while Krzeminski brings the witness on the back of the car "careful with that boys" Jack walked passed them with Evy on his side "hey, keep it sealed off!" she yelled "you got it" the man yelled back to her

"damn it" evy mumbled to herself realizing she left her coat on the HQ. She started rubbing her palms together before rubbing them on her arms. Jack glanced at her mentally shaking his head before he took of his coat and placed it around her shoulder "i'm fine, keep it" she she's stubbornly said before jack rolled his eyes and fix the coat on her shoulder "thanks" she mumbled and he only nods his head in response

"who's our new helpful friend?" Dooley asked as they both stand in front of him "Jerome Zandow. He had an act sideshow at coney island. Petty crimes here and there. Probably just muscle for hire" Jack explained "even muscle knows something. He had his hands on arsenal of Stark technology, but he just sat there with it"

"I doubt he did that to himself, somebody was here before we were" Evy spoke up "she's right" Jack nodded "what's he waiting for?" Dooley asked "I'll get it out of him" Jack assured him

"crates are loaded up" Daniel spoke from behind Jack " I want a lead and a chase car. Don't do the scenic route. Let's get it behind the SSR wall a s a p" Dooley orders

"I'll wake up the eggheads, start figuring what the hell this stuff is" Jack said as everyone started walking to their cars "and boys drive carefully. I don't want to be the one who sunk manhattan" Dooley yelled

"where the hell are you going" Jack turned to Evy seeing her going the other way "I'm riding with Krzeminski. I have to make sure our witness gets to the SSR" she replied walking towards Krzeminski "he can handle him, you're coming with me" Jack pulled her back by her wrist

"I'm coming with Krzeminski" she glared at him "don't you see how dangerous it is?" Jack raised his voice "I can handle myself Jack" he shook his head and started pulling her towards his car "stop dragging me!"

"Lenoir, Thompson! we're all leaving, what the hell is taking you both so long?" Dooley yelled from his car. Evy let's out a sigh pulling her wrist from his hold "fine" she muttered rolling her eyes

Evy stood closer to him and took his hat before placing it over her head. She opened the door of his car and sat on the passenger's seat "hurry up!" she yelled "this god damn woman" Jack mumbled to himself before getting inside the car and following the lead car

"I'm dropping you off" Jack spoke

"no y-"

"yes I will, stop talking"

"do not tell me when to stop talking and Chief said to drive straight to the SSR"

"jokes on you, Chief is the one who ordered to drop you off before I head back to the SSR" he smirked at her

evy glared sharply at him only making him chuckle "so, Stark huh" Jack spoke again "what?" she asked "you and Stark?" Jack asked

"what about us?" she asked knowing what he really meant "I'm aware of your records Lenoir, stop playing stupid right now" she turned to him with a teasing smile "didn't know you are that obsessed with me" Jack let's out a scoff "just had to make sure you're gonna be useful for the SSR" he reasoned

"more useful than you men are?" she smirked "can you not answer a question without asking someone another one?"

"I can, actually" she smiled "then answer it" he turned his eyes at her before turning back to the road "we went for a few dates here and there, gave me flowers and some other stuffs. That's his way of courting me, he never even asked if he can court me. He just started courting me out of the blue" she explained leaning her head back to the seat

"okay" Jack mumbled "okay?" she turned to him earning a nod "you're the most boring person I know. You asked a question, I answered it with a small story and all your gonna say is okay. No wonder you don't get any female"

"excuse me, I do get females" he chuckled "yeah? where are they?" she grinned "I'm just too busy for them" he shrugged "I'm gonna give you advice" she said turning on her seat to look at him "I don't need it"

"no woman wants a man who thinks he can just order her around and also a man who thinks so low of a woman, you know what I mean?" she smiled at him "wha-" evy cuts him off "I meant a man like you by the way, so to get a lady I suggest you must change yourself first because face it Jack, you don't get any woman because you think you're better than us" she smiled widely seeing him grip tightening on the steering wheel

"I don't need your advice Natalia" he responded glaring at her for a second "oh another thing, most woman doesn't like getting called by their middle name" she grinned loving how pissed he looks

"you just never know when to stop talking, do you?" he asked trying to keep his cool "and you never know when to stop making sexist remarks, do you?" she raised her eyebrows at him

Jack abruptly hit the brakes "are you out of your mind?" she yelled at him. Jack scoots closer to her her and leaned to her seat "shut up and sit quietly at your seat before I do something I'll regret" he hissed at her

Evy only leaned closer to him "go ahead, I'm not afraid of you doing whatever the hell you meant you will regret" she challenged him "don't provoke me Lenoir" he warned "you think you can scare me with that before I do something I regret bullshit of yours?" she moved closer to him "why, you're scared?" he smirked "I can kill you right now and not regret a single thing, isn't that more scary than doing something you would regret?" she said in a low tone threatening him

Jack sent her a sharp glare before moving back to his seat with his glare still on her making her smirk "drop me home now, will you?" she asked smiling like nothing happened
