At the dock, under the shadow of countless containers, Mathison sees a distant yacht departing and gently touches her cheeks.
She begins to consider various possibilities: when Pamela learns that she is flying in the sky, she may be afraid to open her eyes, or may not be able to stop screaming, or be fascinated by the sensation of flying in the air. the skies. He expected all of these possibilities to happen except one.
He never expected Pamela to be so brave as to kiss him.
Come to think of it, even Barbara never did that after she reached the age where she began to understand romance…
"However, I feel pretty good."
Mathison's heart was full of excitement.
Anyway, I have done my best, the rest is now up to Pamela herself.
Although Tony Stark is considered an enemy of Mathison, his character is guaranteed to remain the same, even after becoming Iron Man. She is still brave, charming, and easily attracted to girls, but she will never do anything to Pamela.
When the yacht disappears from view, the Cat's Eye incident is officially dealt with. Mathison once again changes her costume and calmly leaves the dock…
Late that night, work at Gotham City Hall had also ended.
"Thank you for the help of the two of you, I'll send someone to help you arrange a place to stay later."
gordon said to Starling and Bob.
“However, our time is rather limited, the environment may not be too good.”
“All I need is a bed to sleep in, this is not the right time to be picky when carrying out such a mission. I won't trouble you, friends.”
Bob happily accepted, as he mentioned, he did not have high requirements for food and lodging.
Gordon nodded, then turned his gaze to Starling.
Women, sometimes, can be very picky.
“I'm not a spoiled little girl either, but I have some things to do before I rest. I need to excuse you for a moment.”, Starling said lightly.
”Does Agent Starling have anything to do with Gotham?” Bob's eyes narrowed.
"Don't push it too hard, Agent Bob, it's CIA business."
“If you need help, GCPD can help.”, Gordon offer.
"Thank you but no, I can handle it myself."
"With all due respect, Agent Starling, Gotham is dangerous at night."
”Yes, I've heard it many times, but is it more dangerous than Hannibal's restaurant?”, Starling ruffled her hair with a flash of reflection in her eyes.
For his words, Gordon had to give Starling a temporary address that the GCPD had set up for her, so she could go there on her own after she finished her business.
Shortly thereafter, a taxi arrived near Gotham Avenue, just three or four blocks away from Penguin's Iceberg restaurant.
At the time the taxi was at the nearest intersection to the Iceberg restaurant, a black car suddenly came out and followed the taxi.
"Turn left at the fork in the road ahead and stop when you reach the third traffic light."
Starling said to the driver, and the white-bearded driver nodded his head at once.
This is Penguin territory, and he can't wait to get out of there.
The black car kept following, always keeping a distance from the taxi.
After Starling disembarked, the taxi immediately left the area, and the black car stopped right in front of her.
Today, there are no pedestrians on the road, and vehicles are also rare.
"How's the mission?"
At this point, Starling turned to the driver's seat, only to see a young woman sitting on it.
“Everything went well so far, Boss, Cobblepot has not suspected me.”
That woman was none other than the current secretary of Penguin, Marvie Brandon!
In fact, Brandon is not his real last name, but a false identity.
His real name is Maiev Jean Angers, an Anglo-American and his real identity is that he was an informant the FBI placed next to Penguin!
Starling is Marvie's direct superior.
"It's great, in that case, did you find any clues?"
At that moment, Marvie's mood sank, "Cobblepot was very careful, he hardly let me into important places, I got a little information."
"Well, we hope Penguin won't be the second biggest gangster in the country if he's really trustworthy."
Starling was not surprised by this, "You've only been with him for two years, besides, it's very unlikely to win Cobblepot's trust completely."
"Then tell us what information you have obtained, no matter how small!"
"Yes the boss."
Furthermore, Marvie informs Starling of her experience working at Iceberg Restaurant over the past two years, which of course includes a secret trip to Iceberg's exchange with the Phantom Kid.
"Phantom Kid... the great thief who recently gained fame in Gotham?"
Starling pondered for a moment, "He has nothing to do with what we're about to investigate, not to mention you haven't seen his real face, this information is pointless."
”Bos, there is one more detail that I think is very important!”, suddenly Marvel said seriously.
“Two years ago, when I first came, there were still many homeless people in the Eastern and Edinburgh districts, but occasionally, their numbers dropped drastically.”
“It is not clear in the first year, but the situation this year is much clearer.”
Hearing Marvie's words, the corner of Starling's mouth lifted as a bright light flashed in her eyes.
"Quite, that's enough information, he must be here!"
”Marvie, you continue to disguise beside Cobblepot, and always pay attention to your own safety.”; Starling put her hand on Marvel's shoulder and warned.
“Do not worry, Boss, I know how to protect myself.”, Marvel nodded.
After the intelligence report, Starling got down from the car, and the two went in opposite directions.
Meanwhile, over the Atlantic Ocean, Queen Elizabeth's exclusive craft flies high in space. It'll reach Gotham in ten hours.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, with me here, you can enjoy this journey in peace.", with a smile on his face, Johny told Elizabeth.
“Hahaha, yes, well, then my salvation is in your hands.”, the queen laughed out loud and was satisfied
Early the next morning, Gordon, Bob, and Starling left on time, and the entire GCPD was out, awaiting the arrival of Queen Elizabeth at the airport.
The mayor of Gotham is waiting there.
In general, when the leader of a country arrives, the airport will suspend the operation of other flights to avoid accidents.
Although Elizabeth was queen, she did not consider herself to have a large body. So, at his request, Archie Goodwin International Airport will not delay flights or give him special treatment.
In turn, this gave Mathison a golden opportunity.
