Chapter 1143 (1/2)
Steve walked into the church in a daze. This is not the first time he has been here, but he has never been so difficult.
Steve didn't know most of the people who could enter the church. Fortunately, there were several acquaintances, such as several logistics doctors who had made friends with Howard. He also saw Nick Frey, who was blind, rarely put on his military uniform and stood in the shadow inside the gate like a security guard.
”Steve.”
Frey sighed and spoke to the captain of the United States, as if he didn't know what to say, but patted him on the arm in comfort.
Black agents and Mr. Wilson are not familiar, only know that he is one of the important sponsors of SSR and logistics, and he is the father and son of Steve.
So he came. Maybe the purpose was not simple, but he came.
”Nick.” Steve nodded to him and looked in the direction of the altar, where the huge coffin was placed: ”is Peggy here?”
Frey shook his head, and he also looked forward to the crowd: ”she needs to go to the White House today to meet the president and attend the ministerial security meeting. She can't walk away.”
Steve bit his teeth and just let out a long sigh. He didn't say anything more and went straight ahead.
The coffin is open, convenient for relatives and friends to look at the remains, and Qin wine is standing beside the coffin crying, from time to time picked up a small handkerchief to wipe his eyes and cheeks.
At this time, a middle-aged man with a bald head in a wheelchair was talking to her. Steve couldn't hear what he was saying. He could only see the man pushing the wheelchair to the coffin and reluctantly looked at it. The expression on his face became very strange.
Then he left the altar and went back to a corner without saying a word. Beside him, there was a middle-aged man with silver hair. His face was very serious, and he was wearing a dark red jacket. He looked very dusty.
As the front line is getting shorter and shorter, it's Steve's turn. At this time, Xiao Wang and secret guest are holding the gin. She seems to be crying and can't stand still.
Steve didn't know how to open his mouth. He just wiped his palm on his pants and whispered, ”I'm coming.”
Qin wine looked up at him, showing a bitter smile: ”it's good to come.”
”What is the matter? Why is it so sudden? ” Steve was pulled to the coffin by the gin and saw a half burnt corpse in the coffin, wearing a stiff suit, lying among the flowers.
A large picture of Slade's head is nailed to the body's face with several staples.
He finally understood why his bald face was strange. It was too much to put a picture on his face. But even so, his heart was filled with grief, and he didn't care about the details.
While wiping tears, Qin Jiu said out of breath: ”last night, he went out alone and said that he wanted to visit you where you live and brought you your favorite hamburger. However, he had a car accident because of heart disease on the road. When the fire brigade arrived, it was very difficult to snatch his body from the wreckage of the burning vehicle...
this is the right time for Xiao Wang Hand over a kraft paper bag. This paper bag has traces of fire and powder caused by fire extinguishing agent. It is a common Wilson fast food with black and yellow w logo on it.
Steve reached into the paper bag with shaking hands and took out a hamburger wrapped in colored paper. By this time, the bread was cold, and the meat stuffing inside also ran out of grease, leaving a piece of wet on the paper.
All this reminds Steve of the past. He and Bucky went to the wharf to look for a job. They ate and took them home. They were minced beef and fried in oil. This is the most familiar food for him.
Even so many years later, he often went to eat it, thinking of the days with Bucky and the carefree days when he was a child.
