The Bus
The car stopped near the plane. David was taken to an interrogation room by Ward as Fury asked "I thought you were going to kill him Jack. What changed your mind?"
Jack answered "He was working for the Clairvoyant. That's the only reason he is still breathing."
Fury in shock said "The Clairvoyant. What does the Katana Killer offer Centipede?"
Jack realised the answer and said "A distraction. This whole the Katana Killer has been one big distraction. While we focused on him, Centipede has been going about their business without interference."
Before Fury said another word he got a call on his phone and once he hung up he said "Carl Berlin, just surrendered to SHEILD agents in our own headquarters."
Phil in shock said "What. Why would he surrender to us? He swore, the only we would get him was if he died at our hands after he betrayed us to work for the Shadow?"
Fury honestly replied "I have no idea why he'd give up now after 21 years on the run from us. Heck maybe the Shadow wants him dead and he's come to us for protection."
Fitz asked in confusion "Who is the Shadow?"
Jack answered "According to what the criminal underworld believe. The Shadow is a person who from behind the scenes is the man who controls the criminal underworld. He is regarded a myth by most criminals but everyone still fears the name. Like he's the devil. Carl Berlin was once a SHIELD agent who was assigned to look into these rumours and see if Shadow existed. He ended up selling him top secret SHIELD info and betrayed us to work for him. That was 21 years ago."
Fury said "Once we get back have David put in a holding cell. We'll question him later, Carl Berlin just became our top priority."
With that the plane was soon back in the air heading to SHIELD headquarters.
Jack entered the interrogation room where David was currently handcuffed to a chair who said "What do you want Jack?"
Jack said "You're going to tell me everything you know about Centipede and the Clairvoyant. It's just depends on how much it has to hurt before you talk."
With that Jack took off his jacket and rolled up the sleeves of his shirt before he punched David across the face. Determined to make the serial killer suffer, just like how the victim's families had been suffering ever since the Katana Killer struck.
After an hour David said "All I know is that the Clairvoyant has been planning this for a while. I was tasked with doing the murders to keep you distracted. You were getting to close to them all those years ago. What happened to your son didn't stop you. It just made you bury yourself in work instead of taking a leave of absence."
In shock Jack asked "What did you just say?"
When he got no answer Jack grabbed David by the throat and said furiously with tears in his eyes "What the fuck did you just say? Did Centipede have my baby boy murdered?"
David said "SHIELD destroyed my family years ago. I'd say that is karma. After all you killed my father so I killed your new born son."
Before Jack could do anything Phil and Ward came in and dragged Jack out of the room as he roared "I'll kill you David. I swear it!"
David smirked and asked "Getting emotional Jack?"
Melinda who was standing in the doorway came in and punched David in the face before she whispered "One more word and I will help him kill you in the worst ways imaginable."
Melinda left the room and ran into the kitchen where Jack angrily said to Fury "Let me back in there now. Or I will go through you to get to him."
Loud footsteps were heard as Maria entered the room and with tears streaming down her cheeks said "Get him out here so I can disembowel him sir now!"
Fury said "We need him alive. We need whatever info he has about Centipede."
Maria said "Let me and Jack in there give us and hour and we'll get all the info we need out of that filth."
Jack nodded and said "Agreed. This man dies. I can honest say that I do regret what happened to his dad and maybe we are partially to blame for what David has become but still, he dies. He doesn't deserve to draw another breath of air."
Fury said "Jack neither you or Maria or going near that room. If you try you'll both be stunned and kept unconsciousness for the rest of the flight. Agent Ward take over the questioning."
Ward entered the interrogation room as Jack stormed off angrily and Maria glared at the nearby monitor which showed Ward questioning David.
Phil headed to his office but not before he said to Fury in a low tone of voice "If you weren't here. I would help them kill David right now."
Melinda didn't say a word as she went back to the cockpit and Fury watched the interrogation of David.
Soon the plane was back at headquarters and Fury asked the lead agent in charge "What have you gotten out of Berlin so far?"
The agent replied "Nothing. He's a stone. The bag he had contained every alias he's ever used most of which we've never even heard of. He did give us info about a classified mission 10 years ago in Cairo. What happened there sir?"
Fury replied "We tried to kill him."
As Fury entered the command centre he looked at the video feed he said "It really is him."
Carl looked up at the camera and said "It seems someone with the authority to make decision has arrived. I can smell your cologne from here Director Fury. Smells like volcanic ash."
Fury glared at the monitor as Carl said "I'm sure Director Fury there are many questions burning in that big bald head of yours. Let us begin with the most important of them. Why I'm here. Two words for you Fury. The Clairvoyant. You want him. The Shadow wants him, so let's say that for the moment at least our interests are temporarily aligned."
Fury asked "Why does the Shadow want the Clairvoyant?"
Carl answered truthfully "The Shadow and the Clairvoyant have been competing shall we say for several months now. The Clairvoyant has stolen from the Shadow. He had former SHIELD agent Akela Amador steal diamonds from a safe that the Shadow owns in Monte Carlo. People need to know what happens after that. If not people will start to get ambitious again in the criminal underworld. Last time people got ambitious they all died."
Fury asked "What does he have that we don't already have on the Clairvoyant?"
Carl answered "Henry Radcliff and his Roma One Mafia are working for him. They help him acquire his soldiers in return for some eye cameras. We know where Radcliff is. You send in a team take him out, the Shadow will have his people deal with Radcliff's mob. Deal?"
Fury was silent for a moment before he said "Deal. Know this, betray us. You're going to meet Hulk up close and personal and the Shadow he'll die a thousand deaths by the time I'm through with him."
Carl smiled and said "The Shadow has something to offer you in return for my release from here. It's in a safe in the national bank in New York. Number 67 password origin. See what it is and if it is enough to secure my release."
Fury ordered some agents to retrieve the safes contents and bring it back immediately as Carl took out a locket and opened looking at the pictures of his long dead family.
Fury noticed this and said "What would they say if they saw you now Carl. What would Amy say to you?"
Carl looked at Fury and said "They can't say a thing. They're dead."
Carl then said "To get any more info from me Fury there is one very important rule. I speak only with any of the following three SHIELD agents, Phil Coulson, Jack Williams or Melinda May."
Carl didn't say another word after that as Fury got word the contents of the safe was the alien tech that the Shadow stole in Hong Kong.
Meanwhile David was being escorted to a cell by Ward who said "You're most likely going to die in here. A lot of the agents here were friends with some of your victims and want payback."
David merely said "I'm already dead. I died when my father killed himself."
Ward didn't say a word as David was put into a holding cell and headed off to meet up the rest of the team, in the cafeteria getting some late night dinner.
When he got there he saw Jack was nowhere in sight and neither was Coulson or May.
Washington DC cemetery
Jack stood in front of the grave of his son Josh and cried as he thought of what he learned from David. Jack swore there that he would kill the Clairvoyant not just what killing his son but everything that was done by this person and Centipede in pursuit of their goals.
The Clairvoyant's soul was required in Hell and Jack would gladly be the man to mail it there as soon as possible.
He knew Phil and Melinda were nearby but he did not expect to see Maria approaching the grave with flowers in her hands. They hadn't come here together since the divorce 11 years ago.
She laid them down next to Jack's own flowers he laid once he arrived.
Maria said "Centipede needs to pay. I'll look over your old missions. Let's find what you were getting so close to that got them to take Josh away. Then we get even."
Jack nodded and both of them said a prayer for their son before heading back to headquarters after getting a call from Fury that they were needed back immediately.
