Chapter Five (Capture)

"Any luck?" Coulson asked, looking at Fitz.

"There is only one thing that is of importance." Fitz replied. "There was a comms relay to an unknown location that said, 'Gather the guards to watch the girl.' That's all that it said."

Ward, who was standing near the Holocom, looked at Coulson, "Do you think that's her?" he asked. "I don't know what other girl that could possibly be."

"Perhaps." Coulson said. "Fitz, find out the location. Then we'll go from there."

Skye jerked awake as ice-cold water was poured onto her. She gasped, coughing the water out of her throat.

She saw that she was in an abandoned warehouse, which guards in camo stood around in various places.

'Camo?' she thought, thinking that she had seen those uniforms before.

"Well, I see that they managed to wake you up."

Skye looked up to see a man in a black business suit coming up to her. She recognized him from her technical first mission with the team. "Ian Quinn." she said horsely.

"So you remember me." Quinn laughed.

"Why the hell is that so funny?" Skye asked, eyes shifting to the guards standing around the room.

"I really don't know. I thought that you probably wouldn't remember me."

"And who the hell wouldn't forget you?"

"And I didn't forget such a pretty face." Quinn smiled.

"Shut it." Skye hissed, trying to get out of the chair she was tied to. But she was tied way too tightly. "And why the hell do you have me here anyway?" she asked.

"My, um, boss wanted to see you." Quinn replied.

"Your boss?" Skye asked. "And who is that exactly?"

"You'll see. I'll go and let him know that you're here, if he doesn't already know that." Quinn walked into the shadows.

"Great." Skye muttered. She twisted her hands, trying to untie the rope that bounded her hands together. Luckily, after a few tries, she was able to free her wrists from the rope. But she stayed in the chair, waiting.

Quinn reapproached, "He'll just be a couple of minutes, you'll have to wait a while."

Skye took the opportunity to lunge at the man, knocking him to the ground. The guards came running, and pretty fast too. As Quinn was stunned on the ground, she started her way towards the door.

But two of the burly guards blocked the door, metallic devices gleaming on their arms.

"Centipede." Skye spat, turning back around to face Quinn who was back on his feet. But she froze, Quinn had a gun aimed at her.

"I won't let you get away, you know." Quinn coldly stated. "The Clairvoyant wouldn't like that one bit."

Skye's stomach froze at the Clairvoyant's name drop. "So you work for him, don't you?" she asked. "That's who's running this thing, isn't it?"

"I can't really say much. But you have something that he want very, very much."
"I don't have anything." Skye retorted. "I don't have anything of value with me, I don't think."

Quinn frowned, "The Clairvoyant is never wrong. I'm guessing that you don't know what he wants. But he knows, and he'll bring it out of you. Even if he has to use brute force."

"And whatever it is," Skye began. "I'm sure as hell I won't give it to him."

Quinn frowned even more, "Wrong answer." Two shots rang out in the warehouse.

Skye shrieked in pain as the two bullets penetrated her right shoulder, going clean through. She fell to the ground, blood oozing fast from the wound, pooling on the cold, hard concrete.

Quinn put away his gun, "I really didn't want to do that, but I had no choice." He turned to two of the Centipede soldiers, "Take her to the underground facility and lock her up securely. Have constant watch on her. We can't afford for anything to happen to her. You know what would happen, right?" He walked off into the darkness once more, leaving the two men with the half-unconscious Skye.

They went over to Skye and took her by the arms. Skye groaned in pain as the force of their grip disturbed her wounded shoulder. They started to drag her off, the blood making a trail behind them onto the cold, dismal concrete floor.

Author's Note: I don't own AoS, Marvel does. Yeah, so all of that happened. I'm evil, right? I just realized as I typed this that I wrote two bullets. I wasn't trying to parallel with TRACKS or anything, that happened somehow. What tha hail will happen next? Marvel's Agents of SHIELD will return in a chapter.
