Chapter 30 - M.D.B 30: Focus on Kame-School (2/2)
”…”
Hearing her, Coulson was stunned, and then shrugged his shoulders and coughed: ”Cough, in short, I plan on talking to him along so… you don't have to stick with me for tonight. You can go back to take some early rest.”
”Is that an order Agent Phil 'Level-8' Coulson?”
”No… If you have to follow, I will not stop you. But, you can only act as backup and should not talk to him with me.”
”Ha ha!”
”Hey what does that mean? Hey! Don't just go! Really, what does that mean?!” Coulson watched as Melinda gave his a peculiar look and then walked away.
...
An hour and a half later, Phil Coulson drove alone to Lee's Chinese restaurant. He got down from his car, just to be met by a man in black who said: ”Our target is still inside. However, he pulled down the curtains, and we can only determine his position with infrared images. What he's doing and his situation are unknown.”
”Alright, thanks.” Coulson nodded and took out his cell phone to make a call. ”Hello Mr. Lee. I'm Phil Coulson.”
On the restaurant's second floor, Saint frowned saying: ”How did you get my num… never mind! What do you want agent Coulson?”
”I am nearby, so can you open the door? I just want to talk, and rest ȧssured: I'm alone.”
”…”
As Saint opened the door and walked down the stairs, he said to Phil: ”Coulson, I know you're a secret agent and all, but couldn't you just knock?”
Coulson approached the front door saying: ”I just wanted to be polite. Calling before visiting, isn't that standard etiquette?”
”Indeed, when you actually got the phone number from the one you're visiting!” Saint hung up and opened the door saying: ”Mr. Coulson, what a great pŀėȧsurė; to have you visit my restaurant twice in one day!”
Hearing the obvious sarcasm in Saint's words, Coulson smiled saying: ”Of course Mr. Lee; you're of great value to us!”
”Please, come in! Take a seat!” Saint shook Coulson's hand, without making the slightest smile.
The two men sat opposite each other across a table. Coulson spoke first: ”First of all, I want to thank you Mr. Lee for from being so frank. When verifying with the bureau, all the information that you have provided did checkout.”
”Well of course! Why would one lie? As long as it keeps you from bothering you, I'll tell you everything I can!” Saint played innocent.
”Thank you again, for this facilitates our work. We'll do our best to give you your requirements.” Coulson answered politely, and then changed his tone as he said: ”Just Mr. Lee, please understand that we can't just ignore a powerful person such as you. There will always be some necessary… 'attention' to your moves.”
Saint nodded saying: ”I understand. Do as you like, and pay all the attention you want. Just don't run into my store, for if you are thinking of installing cameras or microphones or anything of that sorts, you better pray that I don't catch anyone doing that!”
