Chapter 53 - Interlude - Phil Coulson’s Fall (1/2)

Phil Coulson had been working for his congressman cousin brother Bob. Phil Coulson mainly worked as security for his cousin brother Bob. At the same time Phil Coulson was gathering evidence against Umbrella Corporation. Much of what Phil Coulson could gather was that Umbrella Corporation was a legitimate multi level corporation involved in life sciences. Nothing illegal like zombies could be found except that they do bribe the Congress and Senate to get their drugs approved faster by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). With these bribery evidence which every single pharmaceutical company does, Phil Coulson called the only person that could possibly help him now, Nick Fury.

”Sir, is it you ?”, Phil Coulson said as he looked out into the shadow.

Out of the shadow appeared a black bald man with an eye patch, it was Nick Fury.

”Stand down Phil. It's me Nick.”, Nick Fury said as he pulled up a cigar to smoke.

”Sir, you never smoked before.”, Phil Coulson said with a surprised look.

”There are many things I have never done before but times change and people change.”, Nick Fury said with a melancholy tone.

”Sir, the evidence of Umbrella Corporation's bribery to get its drug approved faster.”, Phil Coulson said with pride.

”You do know that every single big pharma company out there does the same thing ?”, Nick Fury asked Phil Coulson as he smoked his cigar.

”Yes sir. But I believe Umbrella Corporation is a special case. If Shield was still around we could have taken it down like we took down Hydra.”, Phil Coulson said proudly.

”But sir...”, Phil Coulson said with a straight face.

Nick Fury took out a gun and shot a Phil Coulson on the spot. It was a tranquilliser gun. In it was filled with poison.

Phil Coulson fell down on the floor with a look of shock on his face.

”Sir... you betrayed me.”, Phil Coulson said in disbelief.

”Yes I did Phil. Yes I did.”, Nick Fury said with a sad tone.

”But why ? I thought you were one of the good guys.”, Phil Coulson said in shock.

”Phil, I was never one of the good guys. I was a bad man that did many bad things with the power of Shield. Now that Shield is gone, I sorta gotta change my ways a bit.”, Nick Fury said with a sadness in his tone.

”But why sir ?”, Phil Coulson asked as he lay there dying.

”I suppose you deserve to know. First off, Shield never had a chance. Even if we fought the organisation behind Umbrella Corporation we would never have won. They have total control of the world. In fact they even put in a black president, that's pretty liberal of them. And they are putting in a dictator for China...”, Nick Fury said with pride.

”They are the Hand. Their beliefs are the same as my belief. The principle of the Hand is improve your lot in life through capitalism. The very thing I have been protecting all my life until I gave my right eye to. I have lost my life, my pride, my eye. All for what ? Just so some fuċkɨnġ pencil pushers up in capital hill can tell me what to do. Well the Hand tells the pencil pushers in capital hill what to do. We couldn't win even if Shield was around, the Hand is not Hydra. The Hand is stronger and bigger than Hydra. The Hand has conquered the world long ago. The Hand was only worried we would disrupt their plans by exposing them.”, Nick Fury said with pride as he smoked his cigar.

”Sir, please tell me why you betrayed me ?”, Phil Coulson asked curiously.
