"Escape from what?" Clint asked as he freed the arrow and the man yelled in pain again.

"I'm not a fool! I know they plan on killing me once I tell them how to get the code. The only reason I'm here at all is to prove to the buyers that I'm real."

Clint's eyes narrowed. "What buyers?"

"Isn't that why you're here?" The man blinked. "You don't know about the box?"

"You're annoying me again."

The man rushed on. "The box can decode any code imaginable. It would lay the world's secrets out before anyone who has it."

"And you're the only person with the key to unlock the decoder ring?"

"Yes! I can help you get it. If you let me go, I will help you. Please!"

Clint eyed the man for a moment before turning and walking away. He slipped through the open doorway, only to find Natasha listening. He lowered his voice.

"Do buy it?"
