Well that's enough of an author's notes on with chapter 5.
Hong Kong hospital
The machines in the rooms beeped as the only person in the room slept in his bed.
The door outside was being guarded by SHIELD agents, all they had to do was wait until the man could be moved and then bring him to a SHIELD facility for questioning about what happened at the mansion and The Shadow.
A doctor entered the room and said in Italian "You are lucky you know. Mr Degradi, you are among few people get to see my boss in person. Even fewer people get to see him unmasked. It is a shame that every once in a while an organized crime group like your bosses mob from Rome gets too ambitious. When that happens, The Shadow has to take action. The Mexican Cartels, Yakuza, Triads, Italian mafia, Russian mafia, the Turkish mafia and various other infamous criminal organizations all around the world know of my boss. They both respect him and fear him."
Before Degradi could do anything the doctor injected him with a poison which would kill the man in moments make it look like he died due to the wounds he sustained earlier in the day when the mansion he was in got attacked by the Shadow and his men.
With that the doctor quickly left the room and was down the corridor when the alarms from Degradi's room started to go off.
He then sent a text message informing his boss that the survivor was dead. He soon got a message back saying two words. Good work.
The doctor smirked as he left the hospital just as Agent Hand entered the room the survivor was in and found him dead.
She looked around and said angrily "God damn it!"
SHIELD Research Base Berlin
Phil broke the silence in the room and said "Let's get to the Bus, we're on the clock."
As all of them headed there Fury asked "Jack. I assume you have an idea on who the Katana Killer is?"
Jack replied "I have 3 suspects in mind. Eoin Hogan, Jimmy Rasco and Dr Emil Sanchez. SHIELD teams were sent to the homes of Hogan and Rasco. What did they find?"
Fury answered "Hogan is in prison on a murder charge serving a 20 year sentence. Rasco hasn't left America in 7 years. Dr Emil Sanchez committed suicide 16 years ago."
Jack said "Probably did it because SHIELD took away his life's work.
Phil asked "What was this Dr Sanchez researching?"
Fury replied "The technology that we use to make our flying cars like Lola. Sanchez designed them, we appropriated the designs, fearing criminals or terrorists would use it if the tech got out to the markets."
Jack asked "Did Sanchez have any family?"
Fury looked up on his phone and said "He has a son. David Sanchez. He's former US Special Forces in the Rangers. He got kicked out 9 years ago for dishonourable conduct. He is an expert at close quarters combat and stealth."
Jack said "That's who the Katana Killer is. We have to get his current address."
Suddenly Jack got a call on his mobile phone and answered it "Jack Williams who is this?"
A distorted voice said "Stop hunting me and I will stop hunting them Jack. Agree to these terms, call off SHIELD and your pretty ex-wife will live. Till death do us part as long as we both shall live? What do you say?"
Jack said "I misjudged you. I thought you were smarter than this. What's wrong David, are you afraid I'll find you and give what you deserve?"
The voice said "So you know my name. That's good Jack. We are connected you and me. You took away someone I loved. Maybe I should do the same to you."
Jack said "David if you hurt one hair on her head, the world won't be big enough for you to hide in. I will find you and end you."
David responded by saying "I'm sending an email to your SHIELD friends. With is a video link. Watch it if you want to know what situation your ex-wife is in."
With that David hung up, Skye said "I couldn't trace the call. He used a burner cell that was untraceable. This guy is good with tech."
As the group entered the plane, Melinda and Jack headed to the cockpit while the others strapped in.
Melinda sat down and said "Jack we'll find Maria. Wherever she is."
Jack with tears in his eyes asked "How did he get his hands on a photo of Josh. How did that psycho get a sonogram of my son?"
Melinda looked at Jack and was saddened to see him in tears. Josh death had always hit him hard. Even now years later. She honestly said "I have no idea. When we find him I'll help you beat that answer out of him."
Once the plane was at a good altitude everyone assembled in the command centre Skye opened the link sent in the email and a video was put up on the nearby screen.
On the monitor it showed a large room and Maria Hill was walking around the room looking for a way out. As she didn't find any she yelled out "What do you want? What do you want you sick fuck?"
David's voice said over an intercom "I want to see you suffer and as your ex-husband watches this. Knowing you're going to die and it'll be all his fault. If he never came after my father I'd never have done this. He is the reason you're here. Look on the bright side you'll be reunited with Josh, your son in the afterlife."
Maria stopped and said "How do know about him?"
David said "I accessed SHIELD's files using the ID card's I collected to get info on Jack. Now you have just under 12 hours of air left. My advice stop talking. Conserve your oxygen."
With that no further words were said as Maria started to look for anything in the room she could use to help extend her air supply and smiled when she found a spare tire and punctured it.
Ward said "OK Jack, where do you think David is?"
Jack replied "Alaska. He is where this all began. This is his endgame to prove his dominance over SHIELD."
Melinda immediately headed to the cockpit and to set the flight path to Alaska as Jack watched the screen. Fury said "It's not your fault Jack. What is happening to Maria is not your fault?"
Jack said "I know. David is doing this. When we find him he dies. Do you have a problem with that sir?"
Fury shook his head and said "I'll tell everyone that you had no choice but to kill him."
Jack said "When this is over. I want to be assigned to Phil's team for the foreseeable future. Centipede needs to pay for what was done to him. Also I want to be here to ensure that if they try to abduct him again that I'll be here to stop them."
Fury said "I expected nothing less Jack. If any other agent asks why you're here with the team. Tell them you're my eye and ears on the plane."
Jack nodded and Fury went to get a drink from the bar.
Nothing else was said as the plane headed to Alaska. The whole time Jack watched the screen.
When the plane landed near the old research lab that David's father owned Phil and Jack devised the plan. The two of them and Melinda would go to the lab while the others would stay on the plane in case something happened.
Once they arrived at the lab they found David in the middle of the room.
Jack angrily said Get on the ground. Get on the ground you son of a bitch."
David did so and said "Well done Jack. You succeed. Your ex-wife is in the basement 1 level below us."
Phil and Melinda headed down there as Jack handcuffed David and asked the serial killer "Why did you do it. Kill all those people. If you wanted revenge for your dad why not come after me?"
David replied "Orders."
In shock Jack asked "Orders. You were working for someone?"
David nodded and Jack pointed his pistol at David's head as he asked the killer "Who were you working for?"
As Phil, Melinda and Maria arrived back in the lab David replied "The Clairvoyant. I was told to tell you that my superior sends regards to you Agent Coulson and looks forward to seeing you in person one day."
Jack asked "You done all this on the orders of the Clairvoyant? Killed all those people."
David said "The Clairvoyant helped me, in return I offered my services to Centipede."
Phil asked "Who was your contact to Centipede?"
David replied "A woman in a flower dress."
Phil said "Raina."
Jack asked "That's the woman who tortured you isn't it?"
Phil nodded and Jack said "Good. I'll talk to her when we get David here back to HQ. You are very lucky David. If not for your connection to Centipede I'd kill you right now. You're mad at us for what we did to your dad. What about you killing agent Mike Robertson. You left his 3 young children without a daddy."
David scoffed and an enraged Jack punched the killer across the face knocking him out cold.
With that the four of them dragged David to the car and headed back to the bus and from there they would quickly go back to SHIELD headquarters. They had questions that needed answering.
SHIELD headquarters
Carl stood outside the building and looked at his phone as he received a text message from his boss, the Shadow. The message simply said, it must be good to be home again Carl.
Carl smiled and sent back a reply before he picked up his bag and walked into SHIELD HQ.
He walked up to the reception desk and said "Good morning. I'm here to see Director Nick Fury."
The receptionist asked "Do you have an appointment?"
Carl handed over his passport and answered "I do not. Tell him it's Carl Berlin."
As the receptionist entered in the info and ran his passport. Carl walked into the centre of the room and put his bag on the ground and stood right there looking around.
The info typed into the computer came back to an ID which was classed code red and the receptionist hit the alarm.
As nearby agents surrounded Carl he already had his hands on his head and got on his knees. As more agents pointed guns at him, Carl looked at a nearby bulletin board which had a notice on it called SHIELD'S ten most wanted list with the name Carl Berlin being number 3 on the list.
