Prologue

SHIELD agent Lorena Gilmore sighed and looked at her watch. Again, she had been watching doctor Banner's house for three hours, and she would have to watch it for another three hours. When they offered her a job at SHIELD she had been thrilled. She thought she finally got to do something useful, and help improve the world. Instead, she got to spy on the doctor. The spying stuff seemed fun, the first week. But she soon learned that it was the most boring job in the world. The most exciting thing that had happened in the three months she had worked at SHIELD, was capturing a spy of another agency. That was seven weeks ago.

She got up to get a cup of coffee. As soon as she turned her back on doctor Banner's house, a woman dressed in black used the opportunity to run towards the house without getting caught. She moved from tree to tree, using their shadows to be invisible to the SHIELD agents surrounding the house.

It worked in her advantage that doctor Banner wasn't supposed to know that he was being watched. He probably did anyway. Doctor Banner wasn't stupid. If he was, she wouldn't be here.

There were only three SHIELD agents near the house. She had done her research on all of them. She had stolen copies of their work schedules. She had stolen a map of the forest with all hidden cameras marked on it. She knew everything she should know to be able to get in the doctor's house.

After five minutes of running through the forest, taking the route she had planned and studied a hundred times, she swiftly climbed in one of the trees. She partially opened her black jacket to take the binoculars she wore around her neck. It was dark, but there was just enough moonlight for her to see agent Gilmore, who just walked back to her post with a cup of coffee, not aware of the woman in black watching her.

The woman stayed in the tree for more than an hour, before she silently climbed down and slowly moved towards the weeping willow, right next to the garden fence. She swiftly climbed the tree.

While the woman was slowly crawling on one of the branches that hung right above the garden, agent Gilmore sipped her coffee, still hoping for something interesting to happen.
