"Imagine my relief," Bucky stood two feet apart from him, holding a gun.

"The girl has been radicalized beyond salvation," he turned to Bucky. "I warned Sam, but he didn't listen to me. He's as stubborn as Steve Rogers before him. But you... They literally programmed you to kill. James, do what needs to be done. Karli has people everywhere, and there's only one way to make sure she cannot continue her mission."

"I appreciate the advice. But we're gonna do it our own way," Bucky replied.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, what you doing man? Where you goin'?" Eli, the grandchild of Isaiah stopped Sam.

"I'm going to see your grandfather," Sam told him.

"Alright, he in the back," Eli informed.

"Thanks," he said.

Sam took a deep breath of courage before he went inside.

"Don't do that bitter old man thing with me," Sam cut him off.

"If you ain't bitter, you're blind," Isaiah retorted, continuing to fix his garden.
