Chapter 40
Simmons comes back to her apartment and closes the door. She slides down and holds her legs to her knees. "What have I done?" She mumbles, her eyes close to tears. "Just what have I done?"
The screams wouldn't get out of her head, and she wasn't sure if she would ever get to sleep again.
"Simmons." She hears as she looks up. Professor May was standing in the doorway to her living room. Simmons frowns, as she stands up.
"Professor May." May nods.
"I'm here to explain how tomorrow will work, I've prepared a team to rescue Skye and help you get out." May explains to Jemma. "Of course the operation partly hinders on you."
May shows Simmons a piece of paper with a message written on it. Simmons eyes are wide. But she frowns and nods. "I understand." She acknowledges. "Do explain."
May sits down and goes over the plan with Jemma. She was to go in as usual, and pretend to have left her key card at home when really she'd be giving it to Bobbi who will infiltrate the building via the back, pretending to be a scientist. Fitz and Triplett were running communication in a fake cleaner vehicle parked a block away. Fitz would be trying to disable the video feed so Ward could get in. Ward would be sneaking in by the roof.
All while she was talking, she continued to write on a piece of paper, where Jemma would nod, whenever asked a question.
Simmons looks over the blue prints with May and explains the rooms Skye's most likely to be in, along with the escape roots and where she has access to.
"Thank you, after you go in that morning I want you to go let Ward in by the roofs door. If you aren't there by 2:10, he'll figure his own way in."
"What about you?" Simmons asks her.
"I have another strategy that I can't exactly reveal." May explains. "But don't worry if everything goes as planned we should be able to get Skye out." Simmons reads the piece of paper again. "Are you're sure you're up for doing this."
"I'm sure. I know the risks." Simmons crosses her arms. "Is the team…" She stops herself. "Is Fitz here now?"
May offers a small smile. "He's in a safe house with the rest of the team."
Simmons frowns. She wanted to ask more, but she knew it wouldn't be wise.
May gets up off the couch and walks over to the window and steps out it. "The plan will work, but I'm prepared if things don't go as planned." May leaves, as Simmons finds it hard to remember if she was there in the first place.
Looking out the window Simmons, lays her head back and decides she might as well try and get some sleep. She goes to her bedroom to get changed, when she hears a knock at the door. Yawning, Simmons grabs a jacket and wraps it around her. Going to answer the door. To her surprise Raina stood there.
"Professor Raina?" Simmons stammers.
She just leans, crossing her arms. "I really wanted to believe you'd choose science over your friends Jemma. But I'm afraid I was the one to make the wrong move this time." Two men appear behind Raina, and Simmons doesn't have enough time to back up and try to make her escape. Instead the men make their way past Raina, and Simmons is met with a sweet smelling cloth. Her eyes rolling back as she passes out.

Hunter watches from the building across the way. "May, we have a situation here." He radios to her. "I think they just took Simmons." He gets no response. "Crud." He mouths off. Hunter prepares to go across the way. But he hears May's voice.
"Stand down Hunter; I'd mapped out this scenario."
"You mean you meant for her to get captured?" Hunter whisper yells. "Coulson would let you risk Simmons life like that."
"Stay in position and follow the plan Hunter, we let Raina hear what she thinks is out plan. Now we can set in action." Hunter pulls down his binoculars. "See what route they take her through, and stay hidden. You're one of the variables they don't know are here."
Hunter heads to the door of the roof, ready to make his move. "Rodger that."

Fitz and Triplett were in a regular van parked a block away from the center where Simmons had been working the last week. Where Skye was being held.
"Fitz, are you okay with this." Trip mutters. "I mean you shouldn't go in, you're registered in the science side at the Academy."
Fitz puts the ICER through his belt. "I have to." He says affirmatively. "I don't want to put Simmons in more danger than she's already in." Fitz puts his com in.
Trip just frowns while adding another gun. "We're in position." He tells May, Hunter and Ward.
"We've run into a setback, Simmons was caught by Raina, along with Skye we'll have to get her out to." Fitz drops the equipment he was preparing.
"No, you can't, you can't be serious." Fitz shouts. "She wasn't supposed to be captured, she wasn't…."
"I went over the risks with her Fitz." May explains. "She was ready for this, and was willing to risk herself so our operation could succeed."
"But.. but." Fitz stammers. "She can't."
"Stay in ready position and wait for Bobbi's signal." May assigns.
Fitz looks ready to protests more, but Trip responds for him. "Understood, we'll proceed as planned."
Fitz just bites his lip, beginning to pray that everything would work out, and he would be able to save Jemma. The one girl he truly loved.

Bobbi sat in the office of Ian Quinn, on the top floor of the building where Skye was being held. "I'm surprised you came." He offers while pouring a glass of wine for her. "To be honest I'm surprised you knew about me."
Bobbi shrugs, crossing her legs. "I've known about you for a while Mr. Quinn. After all, you are a great benefactor to our organization."
Quinn walks over and hands the glass of wine to Bobbi. "But still, to think the head of security for Hydra was in my midst. And so young, what, you're only nineteen?" Quinn takes a seat beside her. "You've infiltrated Shield for a long time, haven't you my dear."
Bobbi sips the expensive wine. "We all have to do what we can to get by Quinn."
"Still, how did you find out about my operation here?"
Bobbi taps her nails on the glass. "The whispers go further in the underworld." She explains. "And working under not only Coulson, but also Fury, I knew when they brought the girl Skye in, she was more than special." Bobbi takes another sip. "That's why when I heard of the rescue plan, I decided to come here and warn you."
Quinn frowns. "You came in person, and did not bother calling someone?"
"I didn't want my loyalty to be thought short of, which is why I selling the team out now." Bobbi hands over the sheet, with the names of Triplett, Fitz, Ward and May on them. "They'd plan to attack in the morning, but without me, I don't expect they'll get that far to save the girl."
Quinn smirks, as he finishes off the glass of white wine. "Well I guess I must thank you for your warning. Thanks to you, we'll be able to catch these agents and dispose of them, while moving our operation to Malta ahead of schedule." Quinn gets up and pours himself and Bobbi some more wine. "I say a toast is in order. Without you, I may have had to shut down tonight."
Bobbi smirks as she raises her glass. "To the future." She offers as a cheer.
"To the future."
Ohh so everyone is in different spots. Simmons been caught, and Bobbi is Hydra. (How many people believe it's true?) 31 days till AoS starts up again, and 5 more chapters left in my story. Review, and gives predictions on what you think the ending will be.
