Skye ran with all her strength. Silently, she thanked Ward for all the hard training. She didn't know who this guy Viktor was, and what his past with Ward was, but she knew he couldn't be trusted.
Though she had been released, two enormous men were chasing her, getting closer and closer. Turning a corner, she skidded to a halt when she came to a dead end.
Slowly, the two men approached her.
They were huge.
Skye tried to remember what she had learned with Ward, but even the thought of her SO made her want to cry in frustration and fear, so she decided to act on instinct.
She ran to the first men and kicked him where every little girl knows hurts the little boys. That took him by surprise, and he fell in pain. It also surprised Skye, who never thought she was capable of doing it. Unfortunately, she didn't have time to enjoy her triumph. The second man used her hesitation to grab her by the hair, and the first man got up with hatred in his eyes.
"We'll kill you, you f*** crazy b***" he said, and pulled a knife from his jacket .
Skye closed her eyes, terrified and waiting for the pain of death.
But it never came. Opening her eyes, she saw two men, on the floor and unconscious, and above them was May, arms crossed.
"Are you going to be there all day, or can we go?" Skye breathed a quick gasp of thanks and disbelief, which May took as a sign to continue. "Where is Agent Ward?"

When Ward awoke, his hands were tied to a pipe above his head. He was shirtless, and hanging just above the floor. His whole body felt sore, and his head felt like it would explode in pain.
"I'm glad you are awake, Agent Ward. I've been waiting to spend a long time in your company. I'm sure I'll enjoy it. You? Well, maybe not so much." With that, Viktor released the first blow.
