Madrid, Spain
The man looked around before he opened the door to his apartment.
Once he was inside he locked the door with the several locks on it before he picked up the bag of shopping and entered the kitchen.
He saw a man sitting at the kitchen table with a cup of tea who said "Welcome Matt Ricardo."
Matt in fear turned to run when 2 more people a man and a woman appeared to block his escape route.
The woman said "Relax. We don't want to hurt you we want to talk."
Matt nodded and sat down at the table as Jack handed the agent his old ID card.
The man in shock took out his phone as a voice from it said "I knew it he'd start killing again. I knew it. How did SHIELD find me?"
Jack answered "Found you via social media. These days anyone can be found that way. We can protect you. Have you put in a SHIELD safe house until the killer is dealt with."
Matt shook his head and typed down several words on his phone before the electronic voice said "No. Madrid is my home. I've made a new life here. It's the one thing I swore that man would never take from me. I move between my homes at random to protect myself. I've gone to great lengths to ensure he will never find me."
Phil said "We'll need the addresses in case we want to reach you."
Matt wrote down the list and had a note on it. Keep this safe.
Jack said "The Katana Killer is simply a man. Nothing more."
Matt typed on his phone as the electronic voice said "Then why can't you catch him?"
Jack didn't say a word as he, Melinda and Phil left the house.
Toronto Canada
A man with brown slightly grey hair entered his home where he found a man in his office smoking a cigarette. The man immediately took out his pistol and asked the intruder "Who are you?"
The smoker laughed and retrieved a sealed document from the table and said with a smile "My name is Carl. I see you live up to your reputation. My employer has need of someone with your skills. One job, very dangerous. He does not expect you to live, but if you do you will be 750 million dollars richer."
The man asked "Who is your boss?"
Carl replied "Quite simply, Mr Cobra. I work for the Shadow."
Cobra immediately put away his weapon and asked "Who does the Shadow want dead?"
Carl merely said "Open this document and learn who the target is. Then answer me truthfully. Can it be done?"
Cobra opened the document and after looking over the info asked "What caused this hit to be ordered?"
Carl said "The target simply made my employer unhappy. Now can it be done?"
Cobra "It's possible. With enough time and planning. To do this the price has gone up 1.5 billion dollars. Either that or hire another sniper as good as me. If I don't kill them all before your boss has his people contact them about the job. I'll need half the money now. The other half upon completion. To do this job means I can never work again. I also want the money in cash."
Carl sent a text message to his boss and got a reply, Carl said "The Shadow has agreed to your terms. The money will be in your Swiss bank account in the morning in cash."
Cobra smiled and said "Good. Now please leave my house."
Carl immediately left as Cobra took out his sniper rifle and started to clean it for the upcoming job.
He knew this target would be tough to take out but not impossible. He just needed time to prepare and to read over the dossier on the target given to him by the Shadow's representative.
After all Cobra was a very patient man. He could wait as long as it takes to kill his target.
The Bus
Skye sat on the couch going through the big list of people with a grudge against SHIELD trying to find any who could be the Katana Killer according to agent Jack William's profile of the serial killer.
She looked over and saw Ward playing chess against Fitz. She asked aloud "What do you guys think of Jack?"
Fitz answered "I heard about him at the academy. He was known as the go to guy. If you needed something done. He was who you called for. However after the Katana Killer he became hated. I personally didn't hate him neither did Simmons. We felt the guy got unfairly tossed out."
Skye said "Well AC called Jack his brother. Those two clearly have history."
Ward said "Coulson and Williams were partners in SHIELD for nearly a decade. Williams took specialist training after he became a level 8 agent. He was on the fast track to become third in command of SHIELD until the Katana Killer appeared. He and May are also good friends. They went on missions together a few times before Bahrain."
Before any of them could say another word Coulson entered the room with Jack and Melinda and said "Matt Ricardo is alive and well. SHIELD will have agents monitor his homes to ensure his safety until the killer is caught."
Suddenly he got a phone call and said "The Katana Killer struck again. He targeted a SHIELD research base in Berlin. Director Fury wants us there."
Jack asked "Any reason why?"
Phil replied "The killer wrote your name on the wall in blood and left a Rubik Cube at the scene with a note to be opened by my nemesis only."
Melinda headed to the cockpit and set the course for Berlin.
Phil asked "He's changed his MO killing in a different country and at a SHIELD building. Not at the agent's homes like before. What's changed?"
Jack said "He is doing this to see if I can catch him. This is like Moriarty and Sherlock to him now. The fact he called me his nemesis is proof of that. The Rubik Cube will probably contain a clue to his next victim and see if he can be stopped in time. One thing is clear this whole thing is personal to him. Skye how is the list of suspects coming along?"
Skye replied "The list is down to ten suspects. Is there anything that could narrow it down further?"
Jack said "Exclude all those who haven't been to Berlin by plane recently. This guy isn't getting to the countries by commercial air travel. How many does that leave?"
Skye said "4 names left on the list."
Jack smiled and asked "Out of all those how many have had run-ins with SHIELD in any possible way in the last 10 years?"
Skye entered in the data and said "2 names. Jimmy Rasco and Eoin Hogan."
Jack said "What's their histories with SHIELD?"
Skye replied "Eoin was a middleman between various criminal organizations. Until SHIELD discovered him selling schematics to SHIELD tech between the Italian mob and the Yakuza. His brother was killed when he and some men tried to attack the SHIELD agents who took Eoin into custody. He has laid low since he was released. Jimmy Rasco had a mother who was a SHIELD agent who died on a mission 8 years ago. He blamed the organization for his mom's death."
Jack said "We should have agents go to their houses and question them about recent places they've gone to. It could be someone else."
With that Jack headed to his quarters to look over his notes, see if there was something he missed.
As he started to think back to anyone he had ran into with a grudge against SHIELD, something sprang to mind from 19 years ago.
Flashback 19 years ago Alaska
Jack and his team entered the lab. The scientist stood up and asked "Who the hell are you?"
Jack answered "Jack Williams with SHIELD. We know you are researching a new invention. I need all notes and research related to it pointed out so my men can put it somewhere safe. We are concerned terrorists will try to steal this research and use it against us."
The man said "I'm not telling you anything."
Jack simply said "Take everything."
As the men did as instructed the scientist said angrily "You are taking away 30 years of my life. Who exactly are you people?"
Jack said "We're the people who keep the world spinning. Doctor I don't want to do this, but I have my orders. I'm truly sorry."
With that Jack and his men left while the doctor fell to the ground and cried."
End of flashback
Jack thought back and tried to remember the name of the scientist and just as the plane landed in Berlin. The name came to him.
Dr Emil Sanchez.
He headed to the SHIELD research base along with Phil and the team.
Director Fury was there waiting for them and said "8 people dead, 3 agents and 5 doctors. All had their throats slashed. Security cameras were disabled by an EMP device and nothing was taken."
He led them to the wall where Jack saw his name written in blood and Fury gave Jack the Rubik Cube.
Once he solved it Jack saw the contents was a photo and a SHIELD ID card.
Jack was in shock when he saw what the letter and whose ID card this was.
Phil immediately noticed the look on Jack's face and looked at the photo and ID card. He gasped when he saw it.
Ward curious looked over and said "The photo is a sonogram of a baby. Jack is it something familiar to you?"
Jack was quiet for a moment before he said "This sonogram is a picture of my dead son. The ID is of my ex-wife."
Jack showed it to Fury who with anger said "This man dies."
Melinda looked at the ID card and was shocked when she saw who's ID card it was.
Agent Maria Hill's.
Suddenly Fury got a call on his mobile phone, he took the phone out of his pocket and saw the caller was Maria.
Fury answered the call as a distorted voice said "Agent Maria Hill has been buried alive. Jack Williams and his new friends have approximately 12 hours to figure out who I am and where I am. Succeed and you will learn where she is. Fail and she will suffocate to death."
With that the Katana Killer hung up as Fury and the others now knew they were on a deadline.
Authors notes well that's chapter 4 completed let me know what you think of it read and review no flames though ok.
