章 27: Task?
I have a few exams coming up.
Yes, in these dastardly times. So I am handing over the account to my sister here who will start uploading by tomorrow ( hopefully).
Sorry for the abrupt break. My parents decided that I would be better off without internet when I have classes (online) with assignments ( again to be downloaded online ) to study. Anyway see ya.

P.P.P.S. He's no longer a man💝
.....
Colonel Phillips did come on the second day, but did not meet Arthur.
Arthur did not mind . In fact, he very happy with just learning about genetics with his doctor.
This had to be learnt by himself and it was many times slower than just absorbing said book. But it was a nice change of pace.
.
.
.
In the meantime, Dr. Erskine had been sounding out Steve Rogers for the two whole days, it was not so easy winning his heart.
"Very funny."
Dr. Erskine: "He actually signed up for the army five times."
"Well, he also changed his family five times too." Arthur said with a smile: "Is it incriminating to falsify on the volunteer list?"
"Not really. You can just look up some less known family and just claim to be on of the sons or something. Faking a birth certificate is also easy with all that is going on. As long as it is not an important position, no one would care."
Dr. Erskine looked helpless: "But at least, this proves one thing about him."
"?"
"He is very passionate about serving his country!"
Dr. Erskine said: "Just look at his body! So thin and he even has asthma! But he still wants to go and fight the enemy. What do you think??"
"He is very lively?" Summer night thought about it.
"Yes, his spirit is un-diminishing!"
Dr. Erskine said earnestly: "A person with power may not be able to understand the hard-work of the peasant. But steve is not the same ... his weakness will make him cherish the weak, and will use this power with great care."
Arthur just nodded.
"But you know..." Dr. Erskine said: "I really want to choose you!
"Don't you dare joke like that!"
"I am not kidding!"
Dr. Erskine then said: "But if I were to make you a super soldier, there won't be particular changes to you, at least not as much as Steve."
"And I am serious, I don't want to be a super soldier at all." Arthur said.
"I know, I know. Your dream is of world peace." Dr. Erskine nodded.
Art's face was black, he cursed Carter's big mouth. Why did she have to say it to Dr. Erskine? What about Daddy Phillips?
Everytime he remembered uttering those words, he wanted to kill himself.
*Buzz* The doorbell rang.
"Please come in.", Dr. Erskine said. And in coms Carter, the square face.
"Am I bothering you?" Carter looked at the two men in the room.
"Will you go away if I said yes?" Arthur was not happy.
Dr. Erskine: "Are you looking for Art? I don't need him until noon tomorrow. You can take him, as long as you send him back in time."
"of course."
And so he was dragged away a smiling sadist.
...
...
After being dragged away, Arthur gave up resisting and walked side by side alongside Carter in the hallway.
The two of them did not speak for what seemed a long time. Finally, Carter couldn't help it and teased: "You won't ask me what I want you for?"
"It is impossible of you to talk of love." Xia Zhi said: "I am not allowed to be in the war, so it must be about my family!"
"...Really annoying! Can't you just play along?"
"I'd rather not." Arthur raised his hands.
"Damn you then!"
Carter grabbed his collar and dragged him.
"Hey! I'm telling you that I am still very pure, if you are like this to me..."
"Arghh...."
Carter's face was black, this guy's mouth was full of shit, constantly and explosively spewing out.
She dragged him all the way out towards a car waiting for them.
Of course, Arthur saw the car and struggled more: "In the car? In these busy roads?"
"...Just get IN!!" Carter gnashed her teeth.
Art shivered, getting in : "Is it okay to just talk and not to do..."
"Is that so?" Carter's attitude suddenly turned a 180-degree turn. The smile was indescribable.
Arthur, who just got on had shivers running down their spine. He remembered his old mother with a somewhat similar smile
"No, I don't want to anymore!"
"Hehehehe!"
With a vrumm, the throttle was pushed and the car rushed out like a mad wild dog.
The sudden inertia pushed Arthur back into his seat. Only when the car got onto the road did he speak.
"Are you mad? Or Are you hungry? I heard people do crazy things when hangry."
"kekekekek!"
Seeing Carter possessed: "Did a ghost get you? Should I take you to the church? You had such a silent personality. An exorcism is necessary..."
"Shut up, will you?"
\Men are so stupid... she cursed under her breath.
"So, Where are we going?"
"To Catch Someone!"
"Is this why you looked for me?" Art was speechless.
- Can't you just take a squadron or something. Why bother my peaceful days? -
"Yes"
Carter said: "The person you caught was very useful. We got something interesting out from his mouth."
"And What does that have to do with me?"
"Can you just listen to me! The gap in speech is for suspended, to show the gravity of the matter! So just shut up."
Carter said: "After repeatedly validating the information, we found three. We caught two but..."
"All dead?", Arthur frustratedly filled in.
-- And damn these suspenseful pauses. If they did not exist the whole 3 hour long movies could be done with in under an hour. And time is money. Seriously! Whenever a clue is about to be revealed, the character will undeniably pause and for the damnest reason just die!
How to get out of the haunted house? the person pauses and the chandelier falls on them. No chandelier? No problemo! Just have a heart attack. --
"How dis you know?" Carter asked, looking at him.
(E: Remember kids. Eyes on the road while driving.)
"These guys are extremely loyal to whatever their cause is. Once captured, they will immediately kill themselves. The first person committed suicide with a gun, so we had some measures for the second one. But that person just fell down. Poisoned and dead."
"Just tell me, how?! How did you even catch one when a whole group made to catch one couldn't!"
Carter looked at him in the eyes with the greatest puppy eyes she could manage.
When Arthur turned to look at her, he was shocked and shouted: "Look at the road when driving!? What kind of a man are you! And whats with that expression? Did you get cursed??? "
"...What? I am a woman! And what do you mean cursed! you @$&__(+4*(($5(*:(#(&#)-*?-#:)*&*:*&("$?&*-"#™%"
Carter, in that moment seemed not much different than a man right now.
After a while.
Art: "Anyway, who is the third spy?"
"...An ordinary wealthy businessman." Carter, quickly said: "We only need to sneak into his home, take him away before he has chance to commit suicide."
"So simple?"
"Yes..."
Arthur looked at Carter: "That easy, are you trying to use me?"
"... No. For now, only you have caught one alive so I wanted you to give it a try."
