Ward and Skye were sat in a bar in LA. To the untrained eye they looked just like any other couple. They were sat next to each other and Ward had his arm around Skye. Ward was nuzzling on Skye's neck and she was tilting her head back to give him better access.

"I see him" Ward muttered.

"Me too" She said looking in the mirror and seeing their target at the bar.

"Now!" Coulson told them through their concealed earphones. He didn't like the plan but he didn't see what else they could do. Surveillance on their target had shown that he liked white girls, which ruled May out and Simmons didn't have the ability to lie. It also had to be Ward to make it look convincing. Coulson was too old and Fitz was also too inexperienced.

Slap

"What the hell was that for?" Ward shouted at Skye.

"I know you're sat here thinking about your ex." She screamed back hysterically.

"No I'm not"

"That's why you just whispered her name?" Skye shrieked.

"Lola is a friend. She was never my girlfriend."

"Whatever, I'm done!" She said pushing him off her

"I deserve better than you anyway!" he shouted after her as she stalked to the bar.

Ward made a big display of leaving the bar. He made his way around the side of the building, where he met May. Together they watched what was going on through the video feed Skye was wearing.

"Hey. Are you ok?"

"Yeah sure. I just had a fight with my boyfriend"

"I saw. He really thinks about his ex that way?"

"She was a pretty woman."

"Can I buy you a drink...?" The bodyguard asked Skye, pausing to get her name.

"Skye"

"That's a pretty name, for a pretty lady"

Skye feigned blushing.

"You are so sweet" She told him.

The bodyguard lent closer to Skye and whispered to her:

"You deserve better than him."

Skye sat flirting with their target until it came to closing.

"You wanna go somewhere a little more private" She asked him in the most suggestive way she could manage, holding her hand out for him to take. He took it and she led him to the alley beside the bar. He pushed her up against the wall and started running his hands up her thighs, while he kissed her neck. To May and Ward he looked like a hungry bear devouring it's prey, but they pushed it aside and worked quick.

"Do you want to shoot him or do you want me to?" May asked Ward, knowing, even though he wasn't showing it, he was peeved.

"You do it." He told her.


"Wakey wakey!" Coulson told the bodyguard, throwing a bottle of water over him. May had shot him with a night-night gun, and between the three of them they dragged him to the plane. Skye, feeling a little dirty since the guy had had his paws on her, went to shower.

"Where am I?"

"Secure containment facility"

"You don't know who you're dealing with, you bastard"

"Of course I do. Jermaine DeFleur, native of France. Moved to South Africa when he was five with his parents who decided they wanted to run a game park and hotel. When you were 18 you went to study at UCLA, where you were an average student and graduated around the middle of your class, no, wait, the exact middle of your class. Single, no previous serious relationship. Do you wish me to continue?" Coulson read from the bodyguard's file.

"Ok so you know a bit about my life. What do you want from me?"

"I want your boss."

Jermaine just laughed. This interview was going exactly the way Coulson thought it would, and right on queue Skye walked in, wearing a short, somewhat revealing summer dress.

"Ward has fixed Lola's flat tyre. She's safe to be driven again."

"Thankyou, Skye."

"YOU?" Jermaine shouted, recognising Skye instantly.

"Me." Skye replied.

"Coulson, I have the Director on the phone for you" Ward said, knocking and entering the 'cell'.

As there was no actual phone call from Director Fury, Coulson watched Skye and Ward in the interview room. They had an unusual tactic. Ward stayed in Jermaine's focus and Skye was wondering in the shadows, occasionally touching Ward in a very familiar way, a brush to the shoulder here, a hold of the hand there. Combined with her clothing it was just enough to make Jermaine crazy. He stood up and rushed at Ward, Ward being quick to react had him pinned up against the wall by his throat within seconds.

It was not what Coulson was expecting them to do (he expected Ward to be the silent one in the background and Skye to ask the questions) but he could not deny that it was effective. They had got Jermaine's boss' name and a location of his residence. What they would find there he didn't know.
