Attack on Grant Ward

"So glad you're here, May. I was planning on heading out with a truck full of weapons that Hunter so kindly supplied. Looking to cause a little mayhem, draw S.H.I.E.L.D. out, when, instead - you came to me." "You're trapped, Ward." "Hey. Don't interrupt. Not before you see my surprise."

- Grant Ward and Melinda May

The Attack on Grant Ward was S.H.I.E.L.D.'s attempt to eliminate Grant Ward and end his attempts to rebuild the terrorist organization HYDRA. After long search, Agent Lance Hunter, under the guise of Richy, managed to infiltrate Ward's base, but wasn't able to kill him immediately when they confronted each other. In the ensuing shootout, Hunter, assisted by Melinda May, managed to kill almost all of Ward's men, but before further S.H.I.E.L.D. reinforcements could arrive at the scene, Ward and his deputy Kebo managed to escape.
