The next morning.
"Hi Pete" said Natasha as she put her phone to her ear while talking to Pete.
"Hi Nat, where are you? Are you here yet?" asked Pete as he gestured that Morales leave his office as Morales nodded and left his office.
"Yes I just arrived at the station, I'm still in my car" said Natasha as Pete sounded relieved.
"Good so how are you?" asked Pete.
"Better now that I have that annoying guy off my back" said Natasha.
"You mean Dom?" asked Pete.
"Who else?? I am luckily he has to go to work or else that guy won't leave me alone, he keeps on talking about a lawyer, what is the deal with a stupid lawyer?" asked Natasha in sheer irritation.
"You know he's right though, it's better to be safe than sorry after all you can never be too safe" said Pete.
"Oh don't start Pete, really don't start, I don't need you siding with him right now" said Natasha with a tired sigh.
"Okay Nat fine" said Pete as the last thing he wanted to do right now would be to upset her.
"So how is Romanoff?" asked Natasha.
"Fine last time I saw him early in the morning" said Pete.
"Has Dians questioned him yet?" asked Natasha.
"Not at all, he keeps on saying that he wants to get all his facts straight before he does so, which I don't believe" said Pete.
"Why don't you believe it?" asked Natasha in curiosity.
"Well he has all the evidence and facts he needs, I am sure he's just waiting for something or someone…" said Pete.
"Hmm, I don't care what Dians does, he can't deny that I helped him catch them, all I care about is if I am allowed to come see Romanoff?" asked Natasha.
"You are allowed to, I already gave orders to let you see him, and Dians finally went home you are in the clear" said Pete.
"Thanks Pete, what would I do without you?" asked Natasha with a smile as Pete smiled.
"Are you going to come with me to see him?" asked Natasha.
"Sorry Nat, I can't, I promised Lia I would have breakfast with her, in fact I am on my way there now" said Pete as he stood up from his desk and got his leather jacket and put it on.
"Oh well alright, enjoy your breakfast, talk later" said Natasha with a smile.
"Talk later" replied Pete with a smile as Natasha ended the call and sighed.
She waited for a few seconds thinking until she finally snapped out of her thoughts and carried her brown handbag and a white plastic box as she got out of her car and locked it and made her way into the police station.
"I am here to see someone brought in late last night" said Natasha as she spoke to the lady at the front desk who immediately nodded.
"The commander already informed me, you can go right in" said the woman as Natasha nodded.
"Thank you" she replied as she walked in the direction of the holding cells, which was a place she knew well, being here brought her a few unpleasant memories of when she was once locked up here for three days, and she would rather not see any unpleasant familiar faces.
Natasha was walking when she suddenly heard the last person she expected to see her talk to her.
"Natasha what a surprise it's very early, I did not expect to see you here" said Dians as he smiled and Natasha winced internally as she turned to face him, didn't Pete said that he had went home?? Then what was he still doing here.
"I did tell you that I would be coming to the station, and last I remember you agreed with no hassle at all" said Natasha as she replied with a smile, not showing how displeased she was that he was still here.
"Right… that I did" said Dians as he caught sight of the white box in her hands.
"What's that?" asked Dians as he pointed to the box and Natasha looked down.
"It's a cake… I was going to meet Pete for breakfast" said Natasha as she lied, he didn't need to know why she was here, he could have just gone home.
"Ahhh I see you and the commander are very close aren't you?" asked Dians with a smile, his calmness this morning was worrying Natasha a bit, it wasn't like him to be so calm.
"Friends since High school" said Natasha.
"Ahh what a long time, anyway don't let me keep you waiting" said Dians.
"Let me just tell you that thanks to the file info you gave me on all superior agents in the organization, I finally know who the man I caught yesterday night is" said Dians, his eyes looking for some sort of reaction from Natasha which she refused to show in the slightest.
"Romanoff… a name that suites a man like him" said Dians.
"I guess so, Pete must be waiting for me now" said Natasha as she had a bad feeling about Dians' cheerful mood today.
"Ahh of course of course…" said Dians and as soon as Natasha was about to turn around and leave he said one more thing.
"Oh and one more thing, do you remember last night, Romanoff had a gun that I kicked away" said Dians as he mentioned the gun and Natasha stiffened.
"This morning I was looking at the evidence and realized that the gun is nowhere to be found, do you have an idea of where it might be?" asked Dians.
"Not at all, you did kick it pretty far, maybe it's still on the ship" replied Natasha as coolly as ever, so coolly that no one would even believe she knew anything about the gun.
"Hmm maybe…" replied DIans.
"Have you questioned him yet?" asked Natasha.
"Ahh not yet, not yet, evidence and facts need to be gathered so when I charge him, he will end up spending the rest of his miserable life behind bars" said Dians with a smile as Natasha remained neutral.
"I hope so, now please excuse me, I can't keep Pete waiting" said Natasha as she turned around and walked away as Dians watched her, if he knew anything, it would be that Natasha was dangerous.
…
Natasha sighed in relief that she had finally escaped from Dians, he was getting too nosy for her liking.
Natasha opened the gate to the holding cells as she looked at the numbers on each cell and found number 5.
Natasha walked to the cell with a key in hand as she saw Romanoff siting on the bed closing his eyes¸ and almost immediately she felt a wave of guilt wash over her she opened the cell as she stepped in and closed the gate behind her.
Romanoff didn't even move or open his eyes to see who had just entered the cell, he was just irritated right now, he was supposed to be out of here by now, he had called his superiors as soon as he was brought to the station last night. And although they had not said anything definitely assuring, he knew that they had the power to get him out of here.
The problem was that he did not know what Dians knew and what exactly he would charge him with, but considering the circumstances, if it was a hefty charge, the organization would do nothing to free him and remain in the shadows using him as a scapegoat.
"Dobore utro (Good morning) Romanoff" said Natasha as Romanoff opened his eyes hearing the voice of the person he least expected to see.
"Dobore utro (Good morning) devochka (girl)" replied Romanoff as he looked at her with a smile that made Natasha feel even more guilty, how could he still smile at her like nothing was wrong when she was the reason he was locked up.
"I brought you some apple cake" said Natasha as she handed the white box to Romanoff as he opened it and saw the cake and smiled as he put it down on the bed.
"Thank you devochka(girl)" said Romanoff.
"So what brings you here?" asked Romanoff with a smile as he sat up straight.
"Why are you still here?" asked Natasha as the underlying meaning of her words would be why are you still here?
"I should be the on asking you that" replied Romanoff with a deep chuckle.
"You know, I am proud of you devochka (girl), I didn't know you had it in you to plan something so intricate like this" said Romanoff as he laughed, he didn't fear that anyone would hear their conversation, after all Natasha was friends with the commander of the station, hence why she could be here right now.
"What were you doing there in the first place? That wasn't your mission" asked Natasha as she was frustrated.
Her target was Igor and not Romanoff, Romanoff had done nothing wrong this time, he wasn't even on any missions¸ he was just here to spend time with his daughter, he was at the wrong place at the wrong time, he wasn't supposed to be the one in here, Igor was.
"Well the plan changed, Igor was nowhere to be found, so they sent me instead" replied Romanoff as he laughed, it was funny, Igor was out free while it was clear that he was her real target.
"You shouldn't have been there, Igor should have been" said Natasha.
"But why?" asked Romanoff.
"You know why" replied Natasha.
"But it makes no sense, I did the same thing Igor did and even worse" said Romanoff.
"It's different, he killed my father" said Natasha.
"And I killed your mother" said Romanoff.
"No you didn't, it's different, you had no choice, you weren't happy to do it, you had to do it, he on the other hand did it gladly, he didn't care at all, you told me the truth, you didn't lie to me, you and Igor are different" said Natasha.
"I appreciate the difference devochka (girl), but if we are being honest, I have done worse things than he has" said Romanoff.
"But you can admit to them, and what you did you did to survive" said Natasha.
"And you did what you needed to do to get the revenge and justice you needed and deserve" said Romanoff.
"You aren't supposed to rot in jail, Igor is" said Natasha with so much hate it was hard to mistake her rage.
I'm so sorry everyone for the late chapter, but you know that me and my family just moved right?? well early Friday morning we were robbed, like seriously robbed, the theives broke in through the kitchen door, they took my laptop, my mom's laptop, my brother's laptop, and even my mom's phone that was right beside her, they even took our playstation, and they even had the AUDACITY to take my brother's jam from the fridge, all while we were peacefully sleeping... (I still don't know how the four of us slept so deeply and we were even all up till 1;30am)
Sorry for the rant, anyway, we had to borrow a laptop from a family friend, and that's why there have been no chapters. We did report to the police, we called them right at 6am when iit happened and they only showed up at 12pm, and all they could say was that they were also being robbed regardless of the fact that they were police officers.
Anyway Friday was the weirdest day ever... but regardless I am sure that out stuff will be found.
I hope you all are doing well and please forgive me in advance for future missed chapters haha.
