We start our long journey back to the city.

Jack's grumbling like always (I'm really starting to get sick of him) while Mac stays silent.

Suddenly, Mac draws up next to me and says, "We're going to get your brother back, don't worry."

"I'm not worrying."

"You look like you are."

I can feel my face tingle making me know that it's probably beet red right now.

Mac smiles then pulls back again. He had to walk faster than his normal pace to keep up with me. 

OK. Maybe I was worrying just a little bit.

That's when I hear some leaves crunch behind us.

We all turn but I must be the only one who can "see" the man hiding in the midst of a clump of trees.

He's pretty stupid to think he can be silent in the woods. There's too many dry leaves. Even I can't be totally silent in a forest. This guy must be one of Hydra's knuckleheads.

Unfortunately, when I do a giant sweep all around us, I discover he's not the only Hydra knucklehead around.

We're surrounded.

I'm counting how many there are when I see him (or felt him but you know what I mean).

My brother.

Well, looks like we found him.
