"Sir," a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent carrying a file ran after Nick Fury and Steve Rogers as they walked down the hall. "Sir, we have a probelm."

Nick Fury and Rogers stopped walking and turned to face the lady. "What kind of problem?"

"Schmidt broke out of his cell. Nobody knows how long ago but he's gone. It could have been hours or could have been days." She handed the report to Fury. He read it in silence.

"Get a team out looking for him, pronto." Nick Fury handed the report back to her. "Who knows what this lunatic is up to. Steve, I want you t..." Nick turned to face Steve but he was gone.

Elsewhere, a few hours later.

Captain America is stationed alone outside of the Hydra headquarters. He knows the Red Skull is up to no good and he has to put a stop to it. When he suspects the coast is clear, he makes a run into the building, hiding behind a corner so the guards don't see him when they come back to their spots.

He hears footsteps coming from down the hall, and hushed voices. As he continues to listen, the voices get louder as they get closer. One of them sounds like the Red Skull.

"So za plans are ready?" the man asks a henchman.

"Yes, sir. It will launch in ten minutes sharp." the henchman replied.

"Good. The Allies won't know vat hit them."

[Plan's? Launch? This doesn't sound good.]

Just as he was about to get up and snoop around, he was caught. The Red Skull stood over him as he crouched in his hiding spot. "Hello, Captain."
