CHAPTER 11

ANANYA WALKED INTO THE SHIELD headquarters after being called in by Fury. She pulled her hair into a ponytail as she found the one-eyed man walking towards her, "Fury? Why'd you call me in?" Ana asked and Fury grabbed her arm and began leading her outside,

"We're going for a drive. How's your search?" Fury asked, trying to change the subject,

"It's going fine." She had a feeling now wasn't the time to tell him what had happened back in Moscow, "What's going on?" She questioned and they got into Fury's car,

"Activating communications encryption protocol. Open secure line zero-four-zero-five." Fury ordered, ignoring Ana's question.

"Confirmed."

The image of Agent Hill popped up on the windshield, "This is Hill."

"I need you here in D.C. Deep shadow conditions." Fury stated,

"Give me four hours." Hill replied.

"You have three, over." Fury said before the image went away,

"Are you going to tell me what this is about?" Ana asked,

Fury stopped at a red light, "I believe that SHIELD has been compromised."

"By who?"

"HYDRA."

Ana's eyes widened. The man's words echoed in her head,

They're coming.

Fury glanced over at the police car next to him, with the two police officers looking at him with suspicion, "Want to see my lease?" The policemen quickly sound their police siren once before they started to drive off.

It must've been a signal because as Fury went to drive off, another police car smashed into his car. Soon they were surrounded by several other police cars as they crashed into them to keep them from escaping,

Ana placed her fingers to her head and pulled them away to see dark blue blood. She groaned in pain before looking over at Fury, "Are you okay?"

"Facture detected. Recommend anesthetic injection." As Fury gave himself the injection that the car supplied, a SWAT team truck pulled up, "D.C. Metro police dispatch shows no units in this area."

As the car was surrounded by policemen and the SWAT team, they realized who these people really were, "Mercenaries." Ana hissed,

"Get us out of here!" Fury demanded from the car as the mercenaries began to shoot at the armored car,

"Propulsion systems offline."

"Then reboot, dammit!" Fury yelled as the armor became weaker and the mercenaries brought out a battering ram.
