I have lots of ideas. I just need to "timeline" them. I hope you're liking so far. Here's Chapter 10.


May walks toward the plane she landed. She regrets the fact she left without telling Qiaohui, but she doesn't have time and she needs to do this. It's gonna haunt her before the surgery if she doesn't see him. This could be the last time she sees Phil. She needs to tell him a perfect lie one last time.

She walks up the stairs to the plane, and suddenly she feels dizzy and someone grabs hold of her. She panics and is about to hit him on the stomach with her elbow.

"Qiaohui called me." She hears a familiar voice and turns to face him. First seeing his face blurry before it clears. "Michael."

He smiles and makes her sit on the step of the stairs. "She told me everything. She had a hunch you might be here."

May takes a deep breathe. "I need to go and if you try to stop me then it won't be pretty." she says with a dangerously low voice.

"It sure isn't. That dizzy spell you just had made it clear enough." He mocked her, but it made her realize she's weaker than she thought.

"Qiaohui told me you want to go back to the S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters." He hold out his hand and May looks up. "So what are we waiting for?" He smiles.

"You- You're gonna fly?" She stammers, which very unlike her. Michael grabs May's hand and pulls her to her feet. "You need to see him. I get it. So does Qiaohui."

May smiles. "Thank you."

Skye keeps glancing at Coulson. He seems to staring the map. "Something wrong?" She asks, her eyes never leaving the laptop screen. He turns around to see her. "I just-" He stops and she looks up. "It doesn't feel right."

Skye furrows her eyesbrows. "What doesn't?"

Coulson takes off his jacket and streches his arms, before answering. "He hasn't moved. If you were working for Hydra. Wouldn't you move a lot? Every hour?" He takes the controller and clicks a new window open on the screen, which shows a live feed of the motel.

"That's true. If I was him, I'd move my place a lot." Skye thinks of May and hopes she comes back soon. She knows well how villains thought.

Hunter has found entertaintment by throwing popcorns to his mouth. "Hunter." He hears Coulson's voice and as startled he throws the popcorn on the top of his head. "Yeah?"

"Any movement?" He asks and hears some rustling, before Hunter answers. "No. It's dead over here."

"He must be expecting someone. Keep your eyes on the exits and windows." He hears the order and nods. "You got it."

Coulson turns off the comm and turns to Skye. "Send Trip as a backup. I have a feeling he's not able to focus since he's eating popcorn and all." He says not so amused and Skye snorts.


Looks like she's willing to lie to him. She doesn't want to do a disappearing act, because she knows him. He'd look for her and wouldn't stop.
