Ward and Romanov crept their way down the corridor. They found an empty, unlocked room and hid in it to formulate a plan to escape.
"We could go back out the front door?" Ward suggested.
"Do you think we'd make it?"
"No. Roof?"
"That's what I was thinking."
"And then what?"
"You're not going to like it." She replied.
Silently they made their way to the stairs. Even though they had sacks over their heads they remembered each step they had taken to get to the room where they held captive, so finding the stairs was relatively easy. Guns raised, they climbed the stairs until they reached the door marked 'Roof Access'. They checked the door for trip wires, sensors and explosives. It was clean. They opened it and found themselves in the cool evening air. They walked to the edge of the building to assess their options.
*BOOM*
They looked at each other. Clearly they had limited time before a full scale hunt was launched for them. Ward looked at a nearby building and started running towards it. Romanov followed. When they got to the edge they jumped.
Back in the lab they watched as Ward landed the jump with a perfectly executed forward roll, while Romanov performed a handspring.
They continued to run towards the opposite ledge. The size of the gap stopped them in their tracks. Looking for an escape route, Romanov saw an open window in a building about five from where they were. Then she saw a way over the gap.
"Their heart rates are increasing"
"They are running for their lives. What else do you expect?
"Oh yes. That explains it!"
They saw Romanov and Ward back up to the opposite side of the building, heard shouts from Covenant agents down their microphones and saw the two of them run for the gap.
Suddenly Ward's heart rate spiked and a couple of beats later it flatlined. His video feed was on its side on the roof they had just landed on. It didn't move. Romanov's camera showed her running for the next gap.
"No,no,no. He can't be dead. It's not possible" Fitz was saying as his fingers flew over the equipment controls. Skye collapsed to the floor, her tears no longer silent. Simmons slid down next to her and the tears she had been holding back also started rolling. Coulson was in shock. His best agent. Dead. May went to vent her frustration on the punchbag.
Suddenly they noticed anomalies on Romanov's feed. Her heart rate was going beserk and from the video they could tell someone had caught her, and by the looks of it were trying to throw her off the roof.
Then her heart rate flat lined. A few seconds later the feed hit the floor and stopped working too.
