Plot Details
Jack attends a meeting with a potential client, only to be attacked by a mysterious gunman. Fearing the worst, David hires Lyall Mason to protect his son from any threats. Jack initially disapproves of this choice, although Lyall refuses to leave.

Jack is able to sneak away with some residue from a gunshot but cannot trace the owner. He leaves as Black Shadow and encounters the gunman, who calls himself Bullet. Bullet attacks him but Black Shadow escapes, although severely wounded. He is found by Lyall who unmasks him and tends to his wounds. Jack learns that Lyall is a former marine medic and that he is intent on finding the murderer of his wife and son.

Jack goes out again but is pursued by Amy and Leo who are assigned to the Black Shadow Task Force. He evades them but confronts Bullet again. Lyall is there to help him this time and Lyall guides him through dodging the bullets. Black Shadow narrowly avoids each bullet and disables Bullet’s weapon. Black Shadow and Bullet fight as Black Shadow gains the upper hand over his enemy and takes him down, leaving him for Amy and Leo, who report this back to Captain Leroy Yates, who orders them to keep hunting the Black Shadow.

Jack thanks Lyall for his help and dismisses him, but Lyall is adamant on staying and offers his help full time. Jack accepts his help as he is called to another mission with Lyall staying in communication.
