I'm baaack! -Dreamycupcake
"Fitz!" Phil Coulson yells, when he jogs in the bus. Young man runs to his side with a tracking device. "No signals. None. They are g-"
"Simmons!" The man in charge yells next. He doesn't want to hear May and Skye being gone. That's something he could never recover from. They're not gone. They're just missing. Or that's what he's convincing himself.
"I'm still taking samples from the blood we found!" Jemma yells back from her lab.
"Wheels up in five!" Phil says and runs upstairs. He's just about to go in the cockpit, when his phone rings. He quickly picks it up. "Melinda?"
"No." May's mother Lian May turns to see her husband sitting near the window of the plane. Worry in her eyes makes him look at her with concern. She takes a deep breath. "It's Lian May."
Phil eyes grow wide realizing it's Melinda May's mother. There's a pause. "Hi." Worst case scenarios go through his mind. The fact May's mother is calling him is terrifying. Not that he's afraid of her, but her calling him. Melinda is not dead. She's not.
"Phillip. I tried to contact Melinda, but she hasn't called back or left a voicemail. Has something happened?"
Bus starts to tremble and Phil sits down. "She was taken just half an hour ago with agent Skye. We have strong believe Skye's father took them. We lost the signals to both of them and we're trying to locate them."
Lian hears the worry in his voice and looks at her husband with a look he knows well. He nods as an answer. Her daughter has been missing before, but that didn't concern her then. She's a great agent, but now that doesn't ease mother's concern. Melinda is sick and that terrifies her.
"We will help you."
"Thank you." Phil sighs a bit relieved. Now there's actual chance to find May and Skye.
"Make your pilot send the coordinates to the code I just emailed you. We'll be with you shortly." Lian ends the call and walks in the cockpit of her plane. "Change of plans."
