[Funny he says that, as if it isn't already too late. He's got several decades worth of regret and shame.
Bucky leans out of the way of the flashlight, trying to keep it subtle instead of obvious, trying to resist that first instinct Hydra implanted in him which was don't leave witnesses. His hand aches slightly from how tight he's gripping the gun under his jacket, heart slamming in his chest as he listens to Levi talking with the cop, glancing out from under the ratty baseball cap he picked up a few months ago and aware of his teeth grinding.
The cop asks for Levi to step out of the car, saying something about a suspect and he wants him against the side. Hands where he can see them. It doesn't escape Bucky's notice that the invitation outside doesn't extend to him. Red flags all over the place to a paranoid on the run.
At this point Bucky's convinced that this cop isn't one. He's trying to get Levi clear but also keep his target in a better kill zone, doors and glass and a metal frame that could slow him down. It's what he would do if he was in his position.
Depending on what Levi does, Bucky's prepared to start some hell the moment he sees the cop's hand inch toward his holster.]
