Kapitel 140: A Plan Never Keeps Up with Changes
That's right, Mathison was wearing Daredevil's costume.
Wearing this suit makes it convenient for him to swagger around hell's kitchen.
He walked to Skye's car door, without anyone's notice, and pried open the car door at his fastest speed.
Afterwards, Mathison calmly got into the van.
It's unknown whether Skye is overconfident or there is really nothing important in the car… because no monitor was installed inside.
Not only that, after Skye left, even the dashcam was turned off.
In other words, no matter what Mathison does, as long as he doesn't take anything from the car, Skye would never find out that her car had been infiltrated.
Mathison entered the van for only one purpose, and that was Skye's computer from the High Tide organization!
In his speculation, Skye is of high status in the Rising Tide organization, so, the majority of this organization's information can be found on Skye's computer.
Mathison took out a USB flash drive and inserted it into Skye's computer.
Barbara has taught Mathison a lot of hacking skills. Although his level is not as good as Skye's or Barbara's, he is still considered a master at work. Cracking Skye's password should not be a difficult task.
Even if Skye finds out that her computer had been turned on afterwards, it wouldn't be something worrying.
Mathison quickly browsed the files in Skye's computer and copied all the information related to ancient artifacts into his USB flash drive.
On the other side, Barbara and Skye walked into Jessica's office.
As soon as they got past the door, the two women couldn't help frowning while covering their mouths and noses with their hands.
This detective office was really messy!
There was only a sofa and a table in this large office. The rest of the space was occupied by bottles of alcohol and cigarettes.
Several pieces of underwear were scattered on the ground… ladies' and men'…
A strong smell of alcohol filled the entire office.
The objective of Skye and Barbara's trip, Jessica Jones, was lying on the sofa sleeping, with her two slender legs resting on the desk.
Jessica was holding a half-full bottle in her hand, while her other hand held an extinguished cigarette.
Jessica's body reeked with alcohol and her face was so red.
God knows how much alcohol she had to consume to become this drunk.
At first, Barbara wondered if she had found the wrong person.
In her imagination, the life of such a superhuman wouldn't be so vile!
But soon, she saw the familiar black jacket Jessica was wearing, in addition to her pair of jeans.
«There is no way I am wrong, this drunk woman in front of me is Jessica Jones!»
"Hmmm…?"
Perhaps it was the sound of the two women coming in that awakened Jessica. She groaned and stood up.
The hand holding the cigarette butt loosened slightly, and the cigarette fell onto the sofa. However, the other hand holding the bottle was steady.
Jessica stretched. Her eyes weren't fully open yet, and apparently still dazed.
"Who is it? Is it Matt? What time is it now? I don't think it's time for the appointment yet. Never mind, what the hell do you want, since you're here then…"
Jessica had muttered and Barbara and Skye immediately looked at each other. This situation made them both wonder how to begin their negotiation.
Barbara looked at Skye and eye-gestured her to come up with something quickly as if she was telling her "didn't you tell me to just watch you operate? Do something!"
Skye understood Barbara's eye gesture and glared back defiantly.
«I was talking about a situation where the superhuman we're negotiating with is actually a 'normal' one. This Jessica is so weird. What if she becomes drunk and crazy?»
«She is so strong. What if she tosses me from the window?»
The two were in a stalemate, and no one dared to approach Jessica.
And for a long while, no movement sounded.
Jessica finally realized that something was wrong. Why did Matt come in for a long time without talking?
Could it be that he is admiring her sleeping posture?
Impossible!
This guy is blind, he can't see her.
If the person who came in was not Matt, no client in Hell's Kitchen would come in either…
That is…
Jessica opened her eyes sharply and jumped up from the sofa.
The aura of her whole person changed drastically in an instant. She was as dangerous and fierce as a lioness.
"Who are you? The office is closed. If you want something, you can come back tomorrow."
Jessica embraced her arms and directly signalled Barbara and Skye to leave.
She could see that the two young girls were ordinary people and couldn't feel any threat from them. Hence, she dispelled most of her guard.
"Ah, you must be Miss Jones."
Skye coughed slightly. Now that their main goal has finally gotten up, negotiations can naturally proceed normally.
"My name is Skye, I came here to find you for…"
"For what? My strength?"
Jessica raised her eyebrows and said casually.
"If you know that I have special abilities because of watching a video of me performing my… weird moves, and you are curious about me or even think I am a superhero, then you should have seen what the real me is now. I am not a hero. I am just an alcoholic. My life is a mess, and I have a bad temper."
Jessica put the bottle of alcohol in her hand on the desk and pointed to the office door.
"I know you are very disappointed now, so please get out of my office right away, okay?"
"I think you should have misunderstood, Miss Jones, we are not ignorant young girls who are obsessed with superheroes."
Skye didn't back off from what Jessica said. It's not uncommon for superhumans to be difficult to communicate with.
"Listen, your special abilities have been monitored and recorded, and you have been exposed to their sight."
"Covering your face with a scarf does not prevent them from discovering who you are. Us finding you here is the best proof."
"It won't be long before that group of people comes. You are in danger at all times, Miss Jones, we are here to help you."
Jessica wasn't shocked at Skye's words as this latter expected. Jessica, instead, rubbed her forehead with one hand, looking helpless.
"You guys are here to help me, you guys are seriously here to help me? But I don't need help!"
"Your name is Skye? You may not know of this, but a few days ago, another group of people came to me and told me exactly what you have just said."
"They were hoping to pull me in their group, and you're here for the same purpose, right?"
Although it was a question, Jessica said it in a positive tone.
"The worst has happened…"
Skye's eyes darkened. She didn't expect that S.H.I.E.L.D. actually contacted Jessica long ago.
But why didn't they capture Jessica?
Is it because they don't like Jessica's ability… or simply couldn't beat Jessica and catch her?
No, it's very unlikely for this to happen.
Skye thought of a more terrifying possibility!
