Chapter One (Missing)
Ward looked around the Bus's lounge in complete and utter confusion, "Where's Skye?" he asked, looking to Fitzsimmons who were in the nearby kitchen.
They came over to the agent, Simmons shaking her head, "I don't know." She replied. "I haven't seen her all morning. I thought she was in her bunk to tell the truth."
Ward frowned, "I thought that she was with you two." he said. "I guess she isn't."
Fitz spoke up, "She's isn't with Coulson or May either." he added. "I don't know where she could be."
Skye hadn't been seen for a couple of hours now. Fitzsimmons thought all along that she was fast asleep in her bunk, while Ward thought that she was with the two lab agents.
"I'll go check her bunk, maybe you're right." Ward said, walking over to the bunks and knocking on Skye's door. There was no answer. He knocked again, there was still no answer. That was strange, Skye usually answered by now.
"Skye?" Ward asked. "Are you in there?" He waited a couple of seconds and went ahead and opened the door. "Skye?"
She wasn't there. Only her computer and a piece of wadded up scrap paper lay on the bed. "She isn't here." Ward called to Fitzsimmons.
He noticed the small piece of paper and picked it up. Flattening it out, he frowned as his eyes skimmed the words written on it.
It read, 'Sorry for this guys. But I have to leave you guys. It's for my safety and yours. There is no time to explain why. But I really can't explain everything. But I have to leave now. I'm sorry.'
The writing was sloppy and frantic, but Skye had obviously written it. Something was definitely wrong.
"Damn." Ward cussed. "This is bad, very, very bad." He then handed the note over to Fitzsimmons, who both frowned as they read it.
"S-Should we tell Coulson?" Simmons stammered, clearly at a loss for words.
"What do you think?" Ward asked sarcastically. "Yes, we need to!"
Coulson looked up as the three agents rushed into his office, "Ward, Fitzsimmons, what's the problem?" he asked. "What's the matter?"
Ward slipped the piece of scrap paper over to the senior agent, "It's Skye, sir. She's gone."
Coulson frowned at the quickly written words, "Where is she?" he asked.
"We don't know. That's all that we found." Ward replied.
Coulson cussed, "Search for a reason to why she left." He ordered. "Then we need to worry where the hell she went. I want to know as soon as possible. This is Skye that we're talking about."
Coulson watched as his agents scrambled to find an answer to where Skye had gone. Worry filled his gut. This wasn't like her to leave like this, something was definitely wrong.
May came up to the senior agent, "Have they found anything yet?" she asked. "No, there's nothing." Coulson replied, shaking his head. "We can't find anything."
Just then, Simmons gave a sign of hope, "Sir!" she exclaimed. "We've found something on her computer!" Simmons brought the laptop over to the Holocom, Fitz and Ward followed.
Fitz synched the laptop to the Holocom's screen. An email message popped up onto the screen.
"What in hell?" Coulson asked, seeing the email's contents.
The message read as followed, "I have finally found you. I know where you are. Don't run, I have men after you. I will have you regardless. Your 'friends' can't help you now. Surrender now. Don't even try to hide, I can see you no matter where you go."
"What the hell is this?!" Ward exclaimed. "Who on Earth is this from?!"
Fitz gulped, "There is no sender address. I don't know who."
Coulson's face twitched, "Fitz, trace the message now." he ordered sternly. "We need to find out whoever this person is and why he/she wanted Skye."
