But an ECHO agent, named Max London informs him, that his mentor, Adam Quill is dead and that he is the only one who can help the agency to find out who killed him. At that moment a group of men try to kill Lorne but Max helps him. Micah Simms, ECHO's director, assigns Max and Lorne to the mission.
