Ward was pacing the length of the briefing room since they'd gotten back to the 'bus' 20 minutes ago. Nat furiously tapping on the holopad looking for any sign of Skye, Coulson on the phone with Director Fury updating him on the situation and Fitz-Simmons trying to access the last of Skye's headset footage. Hawkeye was asking them a question, something to do with her tracker.

"Can't you find her by pinging the tracker?" He asked after thinking about it for a minute.

"That could work as long as she's- " Simmons started but was interrupted by Ward.

"Alive. Its injected into our skin and works with our heart rate and pulse." It was the first time Ward had spoken since the alley.

"I was going to say stable but yes." Simmons said apologetically.

"We have permission to access the SHIELD satellites to find her." Coulson told Romanov as he entered the briefing room.

"I'm already doing that now. Any luck with the camera?" She called out.

Nat was linking it up to her computer and as she watched the feed she gasped and covered her mouth in shock. Her eyes started to water and she shut it off. Ward, who was watching what Nat was doing, walked over there.

"Put it up on the screen."

"Grant, you don't want to- "

"Nat put it up!" He growled.

She opened the computer and tapped away at the keys and then turned the monitor on and pressed play. She didn't want Ward to see this, considering his feelings for her friend.

The video showed a dimly light warehouse, and then they heard Skye groan. Then a voice,

"Agent Skye. So glad you could join us." The man had a very rich accent, they noticed.

"Where am I?" She asked, confused. He laughed a deep, hoarse laugh and said "You're in hell, Agent Skye." and then he motioned for something with his hand, most likely his guards. "Answer my questions and you shall be granted a quick death. Don't answer and well, let's say it will not be pleasant. Fair, no?" He asked her. "Go. To. Hell." She pronounced each word slowly. She was holding out. "Agent, I told you that you were already in hell." He laughed and then hit her. Over and over and over and over until she passed out. Then the video cut out.

"God Damn it!" Ward yelled as he punched the wall and stormed out of the briefing room, with Nat close behind.

Everyone else was almost in tears and Hawkeye took over tracing the camera.

Ward needed to get out of there and he ended up in Skye's bunk sitting on her bed. Nat waited at the door, not wanting to barge in. Ward didn't even notice that she followed him. All he saw was Skye getting hit over and over in his mind and it wouldn't stop.

"Hey. We'll get her back. You shouldn't blame yourself. It's not your fault Grant."

"Seeing him hit her, I get so angry, I just- I"

"Love her?" She asked knowing the answer.

"I've been in love with her for 5 years, and the last thing I said to her was as her partner on the mission. She wouldn't listen to me about her entrance. I was scolding her over the earpiece."

"That's it! Does she still have an earpiece?" She practically shouted.

Ward nodded. "Yeah we all do."

Nat ran back into the briefing room and took over and began tracing Skye's earpiece. She locked on in less than a minute. Ward walked in as she put on a headset and tuned it to Skye's frequency.

"Skye? Can you hear me? It's Natasha."

"Nat...? Wha-?" Skye groaned and spit blood on the floor.

"Skye! Oh I'm so happy to hear your voice! You scared us to death!" Simmons chirped.

Skye didn't say anything.

"Skye, it's Clint, if you aren't alone can you let us know?"

Skye spit blood on the ground.

"Agent Skye? Have you thought about my offer?" The Russian asked.

"And have you thought about this thing called mouthwash?" Skye laughed and then grunted when he punched her in the stomach.

"Don't piss him off Skye!" Nat said into the headset

Skye gasped. Then it turned into a fit of giggles that she couldn't stop.

"I'm sorry, I'm ruining your whole 'scary interrogation', aren't I?" She whispered, out of breath.

"You won't be laughing when we tell you we killed your partner." He sneered.

Skye stopped laughing almost instantly. She shook her head. Then she looked straight at him.

"You're bluffing. He's too good to get caught by YOU. He's trained to be better than you."

"What does that make you? If we caught you, but he's 'too good'?" He questioned.

"Over Zealous. Arrogant. Cocky. I'd take any one of 'em." She replied with a bitter laugh.

"We did kill your partner. Agent Ward, wasn't it?"

"What? You could have hacked into SHIELD to get that. That means nothing."

"Once he saw you crumpled on the floor bleeding, he practically killed himself." He laughed at her look of confusion.

"No. He wouldn't- You're lying! He got away and you're baiting me." She decided.

"No. he's dead. I put a bullet in his head myself. Here's his ring." He said seriously.

"NO! Oh- God, No. Grant..." Skye choked out and started sobbing staring at the ring.

"What do we have here, did you love him?" He asked genuinely curious.

"I'll kill you, you sick bastard! I'll kill you for what you did! You hear me?!" She screamed.

"You did! You loved him! How sad." He beats her until she passes out again.

"Natasha, what did you hear? All we saw was video." Coulson asked.

"I- um recorded it. Here." She said as she played it. When it was done they all looked shocked. Skye never cried. She was so brave and strong, but not now. She was grieving.

"Poor Skye. She thinks Ward's dead. Next time she's conscious we'll put him on and-"

"No, Fitz. She might reveal that to her captors. If they know she talks to us, she'll be dead." May said trying to explain the situation. She suddenly looks at the screen.

"I'm sorry. I should've listened to you. It's my fault. I'll make him pay. I promise. I'm so sorry Grant. I told you it was too dangerous to love me." She sniffled and shook her head.

"Grant's dead. This bastard killed him, to get to me." Skye whispered into the comm with a sob.
