After Peter and Gwen said a few words, they hung up the phone in a hurry.
At this time, the lawyer also came out and proved to him that the leader behind this case was completely S.H.I.E.L.D. Likewise, only SHIELD has the power to release people.
Hearing this, Peter couldn't hold it in any longer. After saying goodbye to the lawyer, he hurried to SHIELD again.
When I arrived at SHIELD, I discovered that SHIELD was also in a state of chaos. He ignored these chores and went directly to Director Garrett's office. After knocking on the door and entering, he explained the situation and began to ask for the reason.
"well!"
Director Garrett sighed, pulled Peter to sit down, and said helplessly:
"Originally, I thought this matter would be simple, but after careful investigation by Rumlow, I discovered that this Thomas actually has a wide social circle and has friendships with many people. These people even include some S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. "
"What?" Peter was surprised.
"In order to prevent S.H.I.E.L.D. from being infiltrated by Hydra, I have no choice but to arrest everyone who has interacted with Thomas for investigation. As long as it turns out that they have no problem, I will naturally release them."
"Then Uncle Ben and Aunt Mei..."
"Because there is some chaos within SHIELD and there is a shortage of manpower, I had to discuss it with President Rogers and borrow the police system to do things. Those police officers also strictly followed the investigated list and did not know whether you and God Shield relationship."
Peter breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "That's great. In other words, Uncle Ben and Aunt May are okay?"
"The specific investigation still needs to be carried out, but as long as they are not Hydra, the police department will definitely let them go soon. Peter, you have to have confidence in the federal police system." Director Garrett patted Peter. shoulder, and said earnestly.
"That's definitely not the case. They definitely won't be Hydra!" Peter assured Director Garrett, patting his chest.
"Let's do this. I'll call the police station and tell you about your situation so that you can go and visit. In a few days at most, there will definitely be results."
"Thank you so much, Director!" Peter said gratefully.
After coming out of S.H.I.E.L.D., Peter was not as anxious as when he first arrived. Looking at the situation inside the agency, he saw people being taken away by security personnel for investigation from time to time. The atmosphere in the entire bureau was tense and people were panicked.
Peter sighed, but he understood Director Garrett's approach. The bureau must first conduct self-examination and self-correction, and get rid of untrustworthy members first, and then the purity of the team can be guaranteed. This will prevent you from getting stabbed in the back during a fight with Hydra.
However, he believed that SHIELD would neither wrongly accuse a good person nor let a bad person go.
After leaving S.H.I.E.L.D., he came to the police station again, and he met Uncle Ben and Aunt May smoothly.
He explained the situation and then comforted:
"Uncle, don't worry, it's just a normal investigation. Once the police station confirms that you have nothing to do with Hydra, you will be released."
Uncle Ben nodded with satisfaction and said:
"This is a normal investigation process, understandable behavior, and necessary. Since even SHIELD is conducting self-examination internally, of course we don't want to make anything special. Peter, you should believe in the country, the government, and The federal legal system.”
"I will, uncle."
After visiting Uncle Ben, Peter went to visit Aunt May before leaving the police station.
Gwen was also very concerned about this place. After school, she hurried over to care about her boyfriend. The two had dinner together, and then Peter told Gwen in detail about his parents.
Although the appearance of a legendary organization like Hydra is surprising, Gwen cares more about her boyfriend.
"Peter, no one knows better than me what a kind boy you are. What kind of people your parents are has no influence on your character. Especially when they died when you were very young. , you are a child raised by Uncle Ben and Aunt May. Please remember, Peter, no matter what, I will always be on your side."
She managed to comfort Peter and made it clear that her love for Peter was unshakable.
After the two were affectionate for a while, Peter planned to send Gwen home. But the brave Gwen took the initiative and took the crucial step. She decided to stay with Peter at night to soothe his depressed mood due to his parents' affairs.
So, on the night Uncle Ben and Aunt May were locked up, two high school students, Peter and Gwen, finally took the final step in Peter's cabin.
With Gwen's company, Peter's heart was gone, and he almost felt unhappy. He now visits Uncle Ben and Aunt May during the day, and comes back to cook dinner with Gwen in the evening. After dinner, he watches TV and finally has a romantic relationship.
He originally thought that this kind of happy life would last until Uncle Ben and the others came back from the police station, but unexpectedly, a few days later, Gwen called him with a tearful voice and said that Director Stacey had been arrested by SHIELD.
Peter hurried to Gwen's house, and Gwen threw herself into his arms in a panic and explained the situation in detail.
It turned out that George Stacy had worked with Thomas for a period of time. At that time, Thomas was not the CIA, but the FBI. This period of working together was not long, so short that Director Stacey forgot about this matter and this person.
As SHIELD conducted an in-depth investigation, they discovered this connection, so they arrested George Stacy.
After asking the whole story, Peter lowered his head and kissed Gwen's forehead in his arms, and said comfortingly:
"Don't worry, Gwen. George is just having normal business dealings with Thomas. He will be released soon, just like Uncle Ben and Aunt May. Now even SHIELD's own internal agents are under investigation , being investigated doesn’t mean anything.”
"We must believe in the country, the government, and the federal legal system!"
After Peter's comfort, Gwen's panic finally calmed down a bit.
However, Mrs. Stacey was not as optimistic about the matter as the two of them. She kept calling, looking for lawyers, the Police Association, media reporters, college classmates... and searched all the friends she could find.
No matter how much Peter and the two tried to persuade her, she just refused to stop. The two of them had no choice but to leave it to her.
But Mrs. Stacey's efforts seemed to be in vain in front of SHIELD, and Sheriff Stacey was not released. In the end, she had no choice but to resign herself to fate and pray that SHIELD was really just conducting a routine investigation.
Peter went to inquire specifically. During this period, many people were arrested because of Hydra. Even many senior government officials or consortium executives were arrested. The arrest warrants were specially approved by President Rogers and issued by the justice.
Many of these people were quickly released, and many others have been under investigation and interrogation, but nothing has been done so far.
Peter was very confident in the relatives around him. He originally thought that as long as he waited patiently, the truth would no longer be false, and the falsehood would no longer be true, and Uncle Ben and the others would be released smoothly.
But no matter how confident you are, your loved ones will still be worried. So as an agent of SHIELD, Peter traveled between the police station and SHIELD every day, not only to visit his relatives, but also to inquire about the progress of the investigation.
