"Joshua Matthews and…," The man at the door said. He flipped through his clipboard of papers, searching through the long list of names,"Ah, here we go, Grace Bishop, welcome." The man said, allowing Skye and Ward to enter the huge ballroom. They gaped at the gigantic room before them,

"Geez, who is this man? The queen of England?" Skye whispered to Ward. He laughed quietly,

"No, but I'm pretty sure he thinks he is," Ward muttered back. He held out his elbow to Skye as she smiled and looped her arm through,

"So, we just wait until we can sit down with him?" Skye asked,

"Well, We cant just stand in the middle of the room like lost dogs." Ward said. Just as he finished speaking, they heard a voice behind them.

"Dogs?" The voice said. Skye and Ward jumped and both whipped their heads around, "Sorry, didn't mean to startle you," Jack said. Skye looked at Ward, unsure of what to do.

"It's no problem, ," Ward said. He reached up to his ear and pretended to scratch it as he turned on his earpiece; seconds later, Skye did the same. Skye was staring at the ground but she felt Jack's eyes on her. Ward unlooped his arm from hers and tapped her elbow. She looked up and, sure enough, was staring at her.

"Care for a dance?" He said. Skye looked at Ward. He nodded. held out his elbow and Skye hesitantly took it. She slowly followed him onto the dance floor as he took her hand. The music was slow and Skyes stomach was flipped upside down. They spun in a quick circle, allowing Skye to face Ward who was across the room, staring intently at Skye. She gave him a terrified look as he nodded apologetically.

"Whats your name?" asked, "I have never seen you before." Skye thought quickly and stopped herself from saying "Skye". She glanced at Ward.

"Grace," She said, "Grace Bishop,"

"Grace," he said, "Beautiful name. Its so…regal."

"Regal? Who the hell says regal?" Skye heard Ward say on the earpiece,

"Obviously he does," Fitz said,

"Would you two shut it, Skye is dancing with a psychopath and i don't think we should distract her," Skye heard Jemma say. She quietly giggled and looked up at Jack. He was a rather handsome man. In fact, if she didn't know that he was a narcissistic sociopath, she might have thought he was handsome,

"Skye, keep him talking," Skye heard Ward over the earpiece, "I'll be at the table in the back left corner." Skye cleared her throat and glanced at Ward over Jack's shoulder. He was at the bar, staring at Skye.

"Your friend," Jack said,"Joshua. Can I trust him?" Skye stopped dancing for a second, shocked by the question,

"What?"

"Joshua," He said. They had stopped dancing and he leaned in to her," And you. Can I trust you two?" Skye stared into his eyes. They were black. She saw her reflection and her own hesitation. At the bar, Skye saw Ward stand up and start to move towards them,

"Yes," Skye said. She looked down and stared at his shoes. Jack looked around and took Skye's hand again. They once again started dancing. Skye saw as Ward slowly backed up to the table.

"Skye, stop dancing. Bring him to the table, I have the wine." Ward said over the earpiece. Skye stopped dancing,

"I think its time for a drink," Skye said. She hesitantly took his hand and led him to the table. Ward was sitting contently with a wine bottle on the table. He smiled at Skye, ignoring Jack completely. He stood up and grabbed the bottle.

"Would you like some, Grace?" Ward said to Skye,

"Yes, please." She said,

" ?" Ward asked.

"No thank you, I think I've had enough already." He said. Skye looked nervously to Ward. He simply said,

"I insist," Jack Simeon stared at Skye. She had been too terrified to look away, but in the corner of her eye, she saw Ward open the wine bottle. He poured three glasses. Skye hesitantly took one and watched as Ward did the same,

"Oh come on," Ward said, "You're letting perfectly good wine go to waste," Ward watched as Jack smiled and picked up the wine glass.

"So, tell me about this party." Ward said,

"Excuse me?" Jack said,

"The cause. Why the party?" Ward asked. He pretended to take a sip of the wine. Jack examined Ward, slightly shrugged, and took a sip himself,

"It's a celebration," Jack said.

"What are you celebrating?" Skye asked him. She had been much to terrified to pretend to drink the wine. Jack stared at her with a certain look. She didn't know what about it, but the way his eyes concentrated so closely on her…

"You know," Ward said, clearing his throat, "Grace, I think it's time for a dance, don't you?" He took her wine and set it down on the table. He took her arm and lead her to the edge of the dance floor. Ward put one hand on her waist and the other hand he linked with hers. Skye put a hand on his shoulder and looked up at Ward. She shivered,

"Geez, he creeps me out." Skye said, looking at him over Ward's shoulder,

"I know. The way he looks at you…" He trailed off. He stared into her eyes as they slowly danced. She felt the hand on her waist tense as a voice spoke in their earpiece,

"Sorry for interrupting, but Skye still has to get to the security room," Fitz said. Skye looked around the room,

"Okay, do you have the computer virus?"Ward asked. Skye decided it would be best to disguise the computer wipe as a virus. Ward had to admit, it was a genius idea.

"Yeah. We need a reason to leave the dance...Jemma, where are the bathrooms?" Skye asked,

"Not by the security room if that's what you're asking," Jemma said, "They are on the other side of the building."

"Damn." Skye said,

"It's okay, I have another idea." Ward said. Skye looked at him,

"Does it involve you turning into the samurai?" She asked. Ward laughed quietly and pulled away. He dragged her off to the side of the room,

"You have to trust me, Skye. Do what I say and we'll survive, okay?" Ward said. Skye nodded. Ward took her hand,

"Good," He said as he took a glass of wine and dragged her away.

"Man is it hot in here?" Ward said entering the security room. Skye stood at the end of the hallway.

"Who the hell are you?" The security guard asked,

"Are they trying to hide the bathrooms cuz I can't-" Ward was cut off by the sound of a punch. Skye heard as Ward took out the two men in the room. There was a short silence. Skye started to make her way into the room when Ward poked his head out,

"All clear," He said. He wiped the blood from his nose as Skye got working on the files. Ward stood guard at the door,

"Shit." Skye said, "Shit shit shit shit." Ward ran to Skye,

"What is it?" Skye slammed her hand on the table,

"Damn it! The virus! Its gone!"

"What do you mean 'gone'?" Ward asked,

"I mean it was in my pocket and now it's not! I must have dropped it while dancing with you and…" Skye trailed off,

"Jack. We have to get it before he finds it,"Ward said. He exited the room,"I'll be back in a second, don't move!" Skye sat in the chair at the desk. She examined the monitors as she saw Ward pop into the ballroom. She smiled slightly, seeing Wards attempt at looking drunk for his performance earlier when he entered the security room. She then scanned the monitors of Jack Simeon. She searched each one and found him on a small one in the corner. He had his hand in his pocket as he was walking down a corridor. Skye stood up slowly, for she recognized the hallway,

"Nice try, Grace," She heard a voice behind her. A gun cocked as she turned around to face Jack. His hand was out of his pocket, and inside it was the drive with the virus,"Very clever." He said as he bashed the gun to her head. Skye dropped unconscious to the ground.
