Ward was woken to a knocking on his bedroom door and a soft voice calling him.

"Ward?"

Ward got out of the bed, noticing that it was still dark out and opened the bedroom door to come face to face with Coulson.

"What's up?"

"Vacation's over. We have a situation." He whispered.

"What is it?" Ward asked, rubbing sleep out of his eyes.

"We have an 0-8-4 issue."

"What sort of 0-8-4?" Ward asked. It was too early for his brain to function properly.

"If I knew that it wouldn't be an 0-8-4 now would it. Wake Skye and be downstairs and ready to leave in half an hour."


A couple of hours later the team were on the bus and making their way to Amsterdam to locate the 0-8-4. They were all unpacking the possessions they had taken to Ward's house and talking about what the 0-8-4 could be and what it could do. For all they know it could be as dangerous as the last one which they used to blow a hole in the side of the plane and Coulson had used to kill Garrett.

They landed at the airport and bundled into the cars. Yet again, May found herself in a car with Ward, Skye and Amber. She looked sideways to Ward who was sat in the front seat. She could see he was about to open his mouth.

"Don't. Not in the mood." She cut him off.

"What?" Ward asked.

"You were about to say something about Coulson." May told him.

"I wasn't, but seen as though you brought it up..."

May cursed herself. The one topic she didn't want brought up she had just brought up herself.

"I don't want to talk about it." She said, trying to get a tone of finality into her voice.

She was semi successful, but Ward could hear that she may not want to talk, but clearly needed to. As Skye and Amber started talking about the 0-8-4 Ward filed that piece of information away for a discussion later. He was surprised when they pulled up outside a bank.

A man in an impeccable suit ran over to their cars. He opened May door and the recognised him instantly as the manager.

"Are you the S.H.I.E.L.D agents?" he asked.

"We are." Coulson answered from behind the man making him jump slightly.

"Oh good. It is a catastrophe. We have been robbed."

"Sir, we don't deal with bank robberies." Coulson tried explaining, but the bank manager was insistent so the team followed him into the bank.

When they got inside the vault room they saw a rather substantial hole had been cut into the wall from the outside.

"I'm sorry Sir. We don't handle robberies." Coulson tried to explain again. As soon as he spoke the words he understood why they had been called in.

His spoken words could not be heard.

The team looked at each other before turning to Coulson.

The manager held up a plaque which he had written

"For some reason, we can't hear anything in the vault."

Realising that it would be useless talking the team started looking for the reason they were there. The 0-8-4. They found it outside the hole in the wall.

"I'm sorry Sir. We don't handle robberies." They all heard Coulson say, so they all turned to look at him. He looked as confused as they felt.

"What's going on?" May asked, but again, no sound came out of her mouth.

The team looked at each other, all of them except Fitz who was looking at the device. He found a switch and flicked it, not really knowing what would happen if he did.
