"My mother fell in love with my father and betrayed her organization and country which resulted in her getting killed my them" said Natasha as she gave a short account of the story, she didn't have time to explain everything from beginning to end, she just wanted them to know her reasons.
Agent Dians looked like he did not believe her story at all, it was one thing for her to lie and say that she was actually a double spy, but it was another thing entirely for her to bring this move script story to them and pass it off as a motive.
"Quite frankly something doesn't add up about your story, I don't believe you" said Agent Dians.
"Well it's the truth, whether you believe me or not, it's up to you" replied Natasha calmly, she wasn't here to argue, she was only here to get help.
"Then why would you work for an organization you believe killed your mother?" asked Agent Dians as Natasha smiled.
"Do you want the long answer or the short answer?" asked Natasha.
"Short" replied Agent Dians as now that he thought about it, she didn't look dangerous at all, she wasn't armed, and he and his partner could easily take her down, she posed no threat to them at all.
"Revenge" replied Natasha.
"I want revenge, it's that simple, and how better to get revenge than to know the ins and outs and double cross them?" asked Natasha with a smile as Agent Dians looked as if he was thinking.
"You are their agent you work for them" said Agent Dians.
"Correction I may be their agent, but I certainly do not work for them, I don't work for anyone" said Natasha.
"Bold choice of words" said Agent Dians.
"But sorry to say that your information is not useful to us at all, there are certain actions that we are legally allowed to take, and following the illegal route would end up in questioning of where exactly this information we got was from, and I would rather not start a war between two unstable countries" replied Agent Dians, he was busy weighing the pros and cons of this in his head.
And he could simply say that there were more cons than pros, it was clear that what Natasha wanted was nothing more than revenge, and she wanted to use the government to do that, but the government wasn't made to settle revenge scores.
Agent Dians did not want to get himself into any sort of unnecessary trouble, right now, all they were assigned to do was keep watch of the organization and their relations, there was no order to attack.
"Oh it is actually very useful, and I never expected you to do anything illegal" replied Natasha.
"In that folder you will find information on a cargo ship that they are using to transport illegal firearms into the country" said Natasha as the other man quickly looked through the folder to find what she was talking about.
"The company that owns the cargo ship happens to be that of my husband's, it's family business, and I can assure you that he knew nothing about one of his ships being used to smuggle in firearms illegally" said Natasha.
"It was merely by chance that I happened to stumble on the information" said Natasha.
"And it is because this whole problem happens to involve his business that I require your help" said Natasha as Agent Dians looked at her.
"If word gets out, it would be bad publicity and they would say that he was involved In bad deals with them, which is not true at all" said Natasha.
"Which is where you come in, if you take the information, which includes the name of the cargo ship, what they are carrying, and when it will arrive, you can intercept them and catch whoever you need to catch" said Natasha.
"You really think that it would be that easy?" asked Agent Dians.
"It is only as easy as you make it, you have the information you need in your hands, it's up to you to choose to use it or not" replied Natasha.
"Why exactly are you doing this?" asked Agent Dians, revenge was one thing, protecting the image of the family business was another, he just didn't trust her.
Natasha laughed slowly, he was indirectly saying that he neither believed or trusted her, she did not care, she had stated all her reasons.
"Why exactly am I doing this?" asked Natasha as she repeated his question back to him.
"If by now my reasons are not clearly stated to you, then let me simply tell you that my entire life is here" said Natasha.
"My family, my daughter, everything is here, I grew up here, I am an American by heart, everything and everyone that I have ever known is here" said Natasha.
"So you can rest assured that I would never double cross you, I know which side I am on, and it certainly isn't theirs" said Natasha.
"All you need to do is make a choice of whether are not you are going to take action" said Natasha.
"I can assure you that I have no issues with whatever you choose to do, but this conversation never happened should you chose not to go along with this" said Natasha, she just wanted it to seem like they had a choice to back out, which they did not.
They already knew about the cargo ship, the illegal firearms, they interest was piqued, and even if against all odds they refused, she would have to take matters into her own hands.
"So I need an answer, are you with me or not?" asked Natasha as Agent Dians seemed to think for a minute and then he looked at her, this was certainly a good opportunity that they could not bear to pass off, they would have the upper hand and that would give them the undeniable edge.
"We have a deal" said Agent Dians as Natasha smiled.
"Thank you" replied Natasha.
"Take her to get some documents she must sign, you need to assure us that you came to me with this information under your own free will" said Agent Dians.
"No problem, and in exchange you will acknowledge that my family's company had nothing to do with this" said Natasha.
"Whatever you want" said Agent DIans as Natasha smiled.
"I am starting to like you" said Natasha with a smile, he was actually a very reasonable man when he was not grumpy.
"Go" said Agent Dians as he looked at his partner and he led the way as Natasha followed after him.
Agent Dians wasted no time at all as he brought out his phone and dialed a number.
"Lawson is going to hear from me today" he said with a scoff as his call was picked.
"Agent what a surprise what can I do for you?" asked Pete with a smile as he answered the call.
"Lawson can you explain to me why you would give a civilian private, sensitive information of where I work?" asked Agent Dians in an unhappy tone as Pete cursed internally, Natasha could have at least given him a heads up that she would be meeting up with Agent Dians today.
"I can explain Agent" said Pete.
"You better start talking because I do not like this one bit" said Agent Dians as Pete sighed, he did not like this at all either.
…
Natasha walked in through the front door as she locked the door behind her with her keys, and instead of going upstairs, she turned to the right, she had to make one final stop before going to sleep tonight.
Dom yawned as he stared at his laptop screen, he has some work to catch up on, and he was honestly tired, he looked at the time and it was already 5minutes past 10pm, he was starting to get a little bit worried about Natasha, she should have been back by now, but he didn't want to raise any concern, he would give her just about thirty more minutes and if she wasn't back by then he would have to go look for her… somehow.
Dom heard footsteps approaching and he initially thought that maybe Joy had woken up and she was looking for him, but that was until he saw Natasha.
"Natasha you are back" said Dom in a mix of relief and tiredness.
"That I am, anyway, I spoke to an FBI agent, his name is Agent Dians, and when the cargo ship arrives, he and his men will intercept it first, the company will not in any way be tarnished by the illegal firearms thing, and finally here is a file that contains all you need to know" said Natasha as she dropped the file on his desk and Dom just looked at her.
"Okay, so that's where you went?" asked Dom.
"Yes" replied Natasha simply as she turned around to walk away until Dom's voice stopped her.
"Natasha we need to talk, can we talk please?" asked Dom calmly.
"We have nothing to talk about actually, goodnight" replied Natasha as she walked away and Dom was just quiet, Natasha could be so difficult sometimes.
