Pale Little Spider

"Didn’t trust you then, don’t trust you now, мой дорогой. And don’t you even dare bring him into this, he has nothing to do with anything involved. I should just off you here, now.”

     "You're getting emotional, zvyozdochka; you know better than that. How about you stop talking about eliminating me and get on with it? Do you remember what happened in 1964? You were supposed to kill me then, yet here I stand. All you have to do is pull the trigger."

"I gotta admit, it’s adorable that you think you can keep this from me Yelena. Specially when I know you probably have a flash drive somewhere with all the details given that you could use them for your own needs at any time. Granted I’m not the smartest crayola in the box, but give me some credit."

     "I give you more credit than I do most others; you should be flattered. Any good spy knows better than to store tempered information on such an easily accessed device. You are determined, aren't you?"

        “Boring Russia? Really? —And so…          you thought you’d just give the home of the free a try?          Nice.”

     "Land of the free - that is rich. Don't be so naive to think I have any interest in your country."

            “Put that thing back where it came from or so help me —”

     "Relax - he won't bite that hard."

                ❛ Hey, you don’t see me                   unwashed & talkin’ in a                          cavesman’s voice. ❜

     "I find caveman to be an insensitive term considering the Neanderthals often associated with the word neither lived in caves or were likely speaking in any tone you could accurately replicate."

     "That is because I wanted you to find me.              Why is that? Did you piss off the wrong person this time?"

"Can’t trust many these days, I suppose. It would have been easier, but sloppy work simultaneously. Don’t forget all too cliche,sweetheart. What exactly do you want from me?”

     "Did you ever really trust me, lyubov moya? Yes, wait until the one person you mean most to in the world knows you are alive - then off you. I'm smarter than that and in no desire to have The Good Captain on my trail. You were the one who found me, so you tell me."

"Oh, so you don’t have information regarding old Department X members and their current whereabouts. My mistake.”

     "Why would I? More importantly, what do you want with them? Hunting down all the spiders in your closet, James?"

"Well, I kinda figured you Widows know everything."

     "We are a rather perceptive breed, yes. Still does not explain why I should put my ass on the line for you."

"—Yelena."

     "Natalia.                 -- What are you doing here?"

“ I’ll give you credit, Yelena Belova.    you weren’t the easiest to find. ”

     "It's a shame - I'd be lying if I said I learned from the best. You took a risk coming here; too bad I have nothing to offer you."

"Which I appreciate very much, by the way. But I still have questions."

     "What makes you think I have answers?"

"See, I know for a fact that’s a lie Yelena."

     "It is not polite to accuse a lady of being a liar, especially when you have no proof."
