Mack heard a loud, echoing shot coming from a small corner shop, he turned around and sprinted towards it, he knew he could potentially be getting himself in danger, but he worked for SHIELD, his goal was to help, and he was going to do it. His face dropped when he saw Mace's white shirt turn red, a woman stood beside him with a gun, she then turned to Mack.
''You are with SHIELD too? Aren't you?'' The lady asked with a grin as she aimed the gun at Mack whilst Mace fell to the floor. Mack stayed silent, looking for a way to get out without being shot, though he couldn't see any, there was nowhere for him to go. He heard the sound of the door bursting open behind him and a few shots were fired right past him. The lady fell to the floor, gasping, she tried to keep her eyes opened but failed as the liquid from the ICER entered her system.
Mack turned around to see the two agents they brought along with guns in their hands, he was glad they came. Mack turned back to Mace, who was clutching his stomach and groaning in pain, ''Mace!'' Mack yelled and ran towards him, instantly applying pressure to the wound.
''Where's Simmons when you need her...'' Mace said, his voice trailing off, he thought it was a bad time for a joke, though lightening up the mood wouldn't hurt as much as the bullet in him. Mack didn't laugh or smile, he was too focused on stopping the bleeding, the blood soon covered the floor around Mace and Mack's hands.
''Get help!'' Mack yelled to one of the agent's behind him.
''Yes, sir!'' He replied, though he found the scenery to shocking to even move, the other agent had to elbow him so he would get a move on.
''What's your name?'' Mack asked when the agent approached him to help out in stopping the bleeding.
''Jeffery.'' Jeffery said in a panicked tone when he saw how much blood the director was loosing.
Mack nodded, ''Alright, just keep your hands on there.'' He ordered while pointing at the wound, he then stood up and looked around the shop's medical section. ''Damn!'' Mack exclaimed when he only found medicine for the flu.
''Sir, He's loosing a lot of blood!'' Jeffery reported to Mack from across the room whilst Mace was slipping in and out of consciousness, the pain radiated trough him like a train, his whole body felt on fire and he couldn't bare the pain anymore. ''I can still...hear you.'' Mace said in a joking manner again, ''Just do me a favor...''
Mack didn't get a chance to reply when the door burst open again, the other agent came back with a man and a woman along his side, they looked older in age, though experienced.
''What can we do for you?'' The man asked, his gaze then landed on the floor, making his eyes instantly widen when he saw the pool of blood surrounding Mace's body.
''I need you to save this man.'' Mack said, approaching them. To their luck, they did have a hospital in this little village.
The woman with glassed and red hair nodded, she pulled out a walkie talkie from her pocket, ''This is doctor Jane calling, we need immediate help right away,'' She said and gave them the address of the shop.
''Are you sure you can save him?'' Mack asked as everyone stepped in to stop the bleeding.
The lady and the man nodded in unison, ''We'll do everything we can.''

''What's taking them so long?'' Daisy wondered as she turned to the village, leaving her laptop behind.
Coulson sighed while he threw a pistol to May, she caught it with ease and armed up, they all concluded they'd have to leave without Mack and Mace if they didn't come back soon.
''We can't any longer.'' May said with annoyance, anything could happen to FitzSimmons in that little time they had.
With one last look back at the village, Coulson spoke up, ''Let's go.''
Dave's location was about half a mile away from where they were, the team decided to take the quiet route and leave the quinjet behind.
''500 hundred meters.'' Daisy reported as she stared at her phone tracker, they reached a descent sized hill and climbed up. The view in front of them was breathtaking, though they didn't want to waste much time on it. Coulson's eyes moved down, he looked for away around the big lake from above.
''There!'' Daisy exclaimed and pointed at the van in the distance, it was parked beside a big wooden cabin at the far end of the blue, glittering lake. Near it was a massive waterfall which nearly hit the flowers surrounding the cabin.
May saw a steeper end of the terrain which they could take around the lake, they did, and soon reached the other end.
''So, how do we do this?'' Daisy asked as her heart raced inside her chest.
''I'll go in first.'' Coulson announced and stood on one side of the wooden door of the cabin, May instantly followed, taking her place behind him. He twisted the handle, and to their luck, the door opened up without a problem. It was dark, the only source of brightness came from a small lamp hanging from the ceiling, the fact that the house had no windows made everything look more serious.
''What do we do now?'' May heard a man ask from around the corner, she instantly stopped in her tracks, motioning for Daisy to do the same.
''We wait, he agreed to meet after all.'' She heard another man speak and recognized his voice. It was Dave.
Daisy lost it as anger began to fill her blood, she walked towards the voice but was roughly stopped by May, Coulson turned around, with a worried look on his face. ''You can't do that.'' He explained, ''We are close, so hang in there, I don't care what happens to Dave, but please just don't mess it up.'' He explained, earning a hesitant nod from Daisy.
''Go guard the damn door. I'll call the other four over.'' Dave spoke from around the corner again.
Loud banging came from the other side of the cabin, it sounded as if someone was kicking or punching a door.
''Go shut him up!'' Dave yelled.
Coulson's eyes widened, ''Fitz.'' Was the only word he said before he took off.
''Wait!'' May yelled as silently as she could, that didn't stop him so she decided to run with him. Daisy tagged along as they approached the loud noise.
''Go around.'' Coulson whispered once he heard footsteps getting closer, the banging increased.
They finally heard Fitz's broken voice, ''You let Jemma out right now! I swear if you even laid a finger on her I'll kill you! I will kill you!'' He continued to yell and kick the door with pure anger in him. May walked to the hallway in front of the door as the footsteps from the left side of the door got louder.
''Shut up!'' One of the guards yelled, he pulled out the keys from his pocket and began to unlock the door with a taser in his hands. May jumped out from behind him, punching him across the jaw, a few kicks in the face followed and he ended up on the wooden floor, dead or unconscious. They didn't care.
Coulson began to unlock the door with his shaky hands, he finally managed to twist the key correctly and unlock the door. A figure from the right side of the room tackled him to the ground and Coulson felt hands wrap tightly around his neck.
''Coulson?'' Fitz said in confusion, he released Coulson from his grip with an apologetic look.
''Yep, that's me.'' Coulson replied while he ran his hand across his neck, he had to admit, Futz had some strength in him when he was angry. ''Are you okay?'' He then asked.
Fitz nodded, ignoring the pain in his side, he was pretty sure there will be a mark from where he was tasered, ''We need to get Jemma.'' Fitz quickly said, he was about to take off but Daisy wrapped him in a tight hug. It felt warm and comforting, she didn't want it to end.
''Shit!'' They all turned towards the other end of the cabin once they heard Dave yell, ''That was a wrong choice, Jemma!'' He yelled loudly with venom in his tone again.
Fitz's face went pale, ''Jemma...'' Was all he could whisper before they ran towards where Dave's voice was coming from. Fitz and the team found the door open, Jemma was standing there with a floorboard in her hands whilst Dave was rolling on the floor in pain, holding his head.
''You stupid little bitch!'' He spat out whilst standing up.
''Jemma!'' Fitz yelled, instantly grabbing the attention of both of them.
Jemma's eyes fluttered to life upon hearing Fitz's voice, ''Fitz!'' She yelled back and ran out from the dark room, she clung onto Fitz as best as she could as they shared a passionate hug. Dave has pretty much given up, his eyes landed on Coulson and he stopped moving.
Daisy wasn't able to hold it in anymore, all her anger had to be released somehow. She stepped forward, within a few steps her feet laid right beside Dave, ''That's for Fitz.'' She simply said as she delivered a kick to his nose, blood decorated the wooden floor with a missing floorboard, Dave recoiled from the force of the kick, his hands wrapped around his nose in attempts to stop the bleeding.
''And that,'' Daisy began again, she grabbed him by his shirt and brought him up to her eye level, ''is for Simmons.'' She said and delivered a punch in his face, she heard a sickening crack when her fist collided with his bones.
''What happened?'' Fitz said when he felt Jemma whimper beside him, he turned to her and saw the blood gushing from her shoulder. His eyes instantly widened, so did May's and Coulson's.
''Simmons...'' May said as she took a step towards her to look at the injury.
''It's fine, May.'' Jemma said in an even tone though her shoulder was stinging. ''I'll get that cleaned up in the base.''
Fitz saw that one of the sleeves of her shirt was ripped off, he slowly took his navy blazer off and wrapped it around his Jemma, ''There, now let me look at your shoulder.'' He insisted, though Jemma declined once more by shaking her head, ''It's fine, really.'' Jemma lied, for her, they seemed to already have enough problems to deal with.
''Jemma...'' Fitz whispered in a serious tone.
''Let us look at it.'' Coulson pleaded while Daisy approached them.
Jemma sighed, ''I'll sort it out at the base, there's nothing we can do for it now.'' She explained, clearly they couldn't just help a hole in her shoulder, after all, she'd been stabbed. Fitz nodded and wrapped her in another hug, ''Let's get out of here.'' He said.
Please review this chapter, I don't feel that it was as good as the rest but I hope that whatever I produce is good enough for you. Just a reminder that there are only a couple of chapters left, maybe around three, we will see how it goes.
Thank you for all the support so far! You guys have been really great :) YOU CAN ALSO SEND ME IN IDEAS FOR A NEW FANFICTION THAT I WOULD GLADLY WRITE ;) Though I am planning to start a new doctor who fanfiction or another Agents of SHIELD one
