Thanks to Shiori's directions, Ackerly made it to the Internet Café where the communication files were deleted. In her pocket, she switched on the little device Shiori gave her to allow her access to the CCTV and computers in the café. She covered the earpiece with her hair and wandered into the slightly busy café. "I can see you. Scratch your nose of you can hear me." Ackerly scratched her noise. "Okay, good. It's the computer in the far end of the café. The one with the pear sticker on it." She ambled through the café and sat at the computer. "Alright, just give me a sec... I'm in. Now act busy so it doesn't look odd that you're just randomly sitting a computer doing nothing."

Ackerly brought up the internet browser and started searched the web for the latest news she could find regarding S.H.I.E.L.D and HYDRA. Naturally she didn't find much. "Holy shit!" Shiori shouted in her ear causing her to flinch. "Sorry... Hand is dead!"

Ackerly mouthed, 'What?!'

"Killed by HYDRA."

'Damn.'

"I second that. Now what do we do?"

'Keep at it.'

"Okay." After a few moments of a silence, the hacker spoke again. "I'm getting there slowly. That's computer has been empty the past few weeks, then again most if them has as the business is going down hill. Anyway! I need you to stay a few minutes longer so I can download everything and work on it on your way back here."

Ackerly sighed and glanced to the large windows at the front of the café. "Umm."

"I see them too. Give a few more seconds."

The doctor slowly got up from her seat, daring not to take her eyes off the HYDRA outside. "Shiori." She grumbled.

"Hang on!"

"Do we have what we need? We don't need everything." A few people in the café stared at her because she looked like she was talking to herself.

"Hang on!" Ackerly's foot bounced, ready to run. "Got it! Go! Use the back door! Go!" On that cue she took off towards the back door and burst through it just as HYDRA entered the building.

"How the hell did they find me?!" The doctor shouted, kicking open the exit that lead into the back alley. She slammed the door shut behind her and welded it close with a quick spark.

"I don't know! Everything is secure. They must've already been trying to look for you."

She sprinted away making sure to stay far from the streets. She had to loose them before she even thought about getting back to the bunker. "Lock the place down until I get there. It'll take a while to lose them. Make sure they haven't found a backdoor into our systems and it's radio silence from here on out."

"See ya when you get back, doc."

Ackerly heard the HYDRA agents banging furiously on the welded door, but she continued to run in case others decided to show their faces. A HYDRA SUV skidded to a halt in front of her, sliding open the door and firing. She deflected the bullets into a nearby brick wall and sent a blast into the van, sending it on its side. Sprinting away, she fired another blast at those scrambling out before they had a chance to shoot and kill her. Dying would be a real inconvenience right now, she had far too much to do. She slid around a corner and ducked in between two dumpsters hearing the sound of guns cocking ahead of her.

"Our boss knows what your trying to do, Doctor Ackerly." said a voice she recognised clearly. It was Jasper Mac Eoghain. "And you're not gonna know who ordered your murder, and, for the record, Palmer has nothing to do with this- only his computer." He's been dead for ten years and they were deleted from his computer? Surely it wasn't his computer any longer unless he had another one somewhere in the Triskellion, and she wasn't going back in there. "Show yourself and this will all be over."

Blue sparks flickered off her right hand and she quickly tucked it in her jacket sleeve, now was not the time for explode and disintegrate everything with a heartbeat, it was the time for patience.

"Just let me kill you. I promise I'll make it swift."

Yeah, not gonna happen, she thought. She could see the top of his head from where she sat and his friend not to far from him. She could take them both out, she had the element of surprise but she wanted to know who wanted her dead. It was settled. She'd kill the other guy and then try and force Jasper to tell her what she wants to know. Hopefully it would work. If not... well she'd improvise.

Lifting herself onto the balls of her feet as quietly as she could, she freed her right hand from her sleeve and rubbed her palms together. She had seconds to react before they turned and shot her. Ackerly took a deep breath and attacked. Jumping to her feet, she shot at the other thug and fired on Jasper to stun him. He rolled out of the way of the blast and shot at her. She deflected the bullet, then fired another stun blast. It struck him in the arm as he dodged but that was enough for her to tackle him to the ground. Knocking away his gun, she straddled his hips and pinned his arms behind him with her hand.

"How wants me dead?" She questioned.

"You know I'm not going to tell you."

In one move she stepped off him, grabbed his collar and forced him into the nearby alley wall. "At least give me a hint then if you won't tell me. Make it easier for me to search."

Jasper narrowed his eyes at her, "I dunno, should I?"

"Yes." She bit.

"One hint?"

"Or more, whatever."

"They're well hidden."

She stared at him incredulously, "Really? Is that it."

"You know them." He said with a smirk. Ackerly took a deep breath and tightened her grip on Jasper. "No more hints. That's all you're getting, I'd rather die."

"Do you have a family?" She asked with a titled head.

"No, why?"

"Just curious." She put her palm on his chest and killed Jasper with a blast to the heart. She carefully lowered him into the ground, grabbed his communication devices, and sprinted away from the crime scene. The one who wanted her dead was someone she knows and was well hidden. That meant she couldn't rule Shiori out of the equation, she had to keep her wits about her. She knew a lot of people. A few of which would have a reason to kill her because they were HYDRA. Erin Hook, Kibwe Afolayan was Erin's friend and nurse, Elias Bauer was an escaped criminal who had super strength, Anaïs Germain was part of her class at Ops who clearly disliked her and was part of an assassination attempt on her life a few years back, and there were many more who wanted her dead- people she once called friends, criminals, and all of HYDRA.
