S.H.I.E.L.D. facility
Location: Classified

Kaylin was walking around on the facility searching for the technicians. She needed a new phone and some other equipment to search for Pepper.

As Kaylin stepped inside the lab, she saw agent Sitwell arguing with someone.

"Don't ever question him again!" Sitwell said angry and he pointed at the man's chest.

"Everything okay here?" Kaylin asked. She walked over and took a seat. Her leg was killing her and her side was hurting very bad.

"Yes." Sitwell said and he left. Before he walked out the door, he shot an angry glare at the man he was talking to. Kaylin watched how the door closed and she made eye contact with the technician.

"I need your help." She said to him and she moved a bit to take some pressure off of her side. She groaned while doing so.

"Are you injured?" He asked. "Then you should go to someone else. I handle technical stuff."

"I'm okay, and that's not why I'm here." Kaylin waved his concern away.

"Well, then why are you here?" The man took a seat across from Kaylin and leaned on the table.

"I need a new phone with no way to trace it and I need an untraceable laptop." Kaylin said serious and she moved again. Her side was really hurting.

"May I ask why?" The man asked.

"I have a mission." Kaylin responded and the man nodded. He knew that missions were supposed to be secret if you're a high-level agent.

"When do you need it?"

"As soon as possible." Kaylin said. "Oh, and do you have new toys?"

"No, nothing new." The man answered and Kaylin could've sworn that he lied. She saw him gulping.

"Okay, I'll be in the building this whole afternoon. Be quick." Kaylin stood up carefully and left the room. In the hallway she saw someone running. The figure came closer and almost slipped trying to slow down.

"Wow, hey, hey, calm down." Kaylin said and she waved her hands in front of her. The person came to a halt and leaned forwards to get some air into their lungs.

"I'm... sorry." The person breathed heavily. Kaylin looked at the figure and recognized it as her commander, agent Hill.

"Why were you running?" Kaylin asked her superior. Hill straightened her back and took another deep breath before answering.

"The minute I heard that you came in, I wanted to make sure everything was fine."

"I'm fine." Kaylin said. "I told you on the phone."

"Yeah, I know, but still." Hill took a good look at the agent before her and saw that Kaylin wasn't leaning on her left leg and that she had much blood on the right side of her shirt.

"Are you okay?" Kaylin saw the look on Hill's face; it was pure shock.

"Yes, but you're not." Hill responded. "Please tell me that it isn't as bad as it looks." Kaylin shook her head. She didn't want her commander to worry. Although, it did hurt more than it looked.
