May landed the quinjet a few miles away from the city, Jemma and Daisy agreed on taking the bus to not make it obvious that they were working for SHIELD. The team waved goodbye before May took off again.
''So...'' Daisy said, dragging her foot across the grass near the sign of the bus stop, Jemma turned to her, the silence was getting awkward, they didn't talk much because none of them were completely sure how this would turn out. They both hoped I'd work.
''So, we try and get the job, if it works we come back to the base and report back on what we found out about Matt.'' Jemma said before she started going over the plan in her head again.
Daisy nodded and pointed behind Jemma, ''There it is.'' She said, motioning towards the approaching bus. ''But if we do get the job, we'll need to come back there for a few days, just to get the information out of him in some sort of smart way.'' She reminded her and with that, the bus pulled up beside them. They sat down after giving the driver the money, the bus was almost empty except from the three unknown faces sitting at the front. They decided to take the back seats so that they could go over their plan once again in peace.
A bottle was laying on the floor across from Daisy, she kicked it further away, giving her legs some space. Jemma smiled, Daisy now looked like her judging from the way she was dressed for the interview, though her attitudes were the same.
''Thanks for lending me these...'' Daisy thanked her once she turned to Jemma. Jemma's navy shirt looked good on Daisy, it suited her, the black trousers were also a good fit, so was the black blazer. Daisy never thought she'd have to wear it, though she didn't complain.
Within a few minutes they arrived at the city, stopping right across the big science facility with double windows and doors. It was about twenty stories high, it definitely didn't disappoint the two agents. Jemma started at the sight for longer while Daisy made her way into the building. All of this for science- Jemma couldn't believe it.
''Are you coming?'' Daisy questioned as she pulled her ID out of her handbag.
Jemma nodded, ''Yeah, just give me a second.'' She said whilst rustling through her leather bag, she pulled out her fake ID and made her way inside. They walked side to side before being greeted by a guard, his eyes had bags under his eyes, didn't look like he had much sleep.
''ID.'' He said and moved his hands in a 'hurry up' manner. Daisy handed it to him with a fake smile, if she didn't get this job then there might not be another chance of seeing her daughter again. ''Go on in.'' The guard said, letting her through the door inside. He did the same to Jemma's fake ID and within a few moments, they were both inside.
White walls decorated the whole building, the green big plants looked wonderful as they were placed near the double windows. Stone polished floors were everywhere, again, not a disappointing sight. Whoever Matt Robinson was, he was ruining his rich life with the watchdogs. Though they'll soon find out what his intentions are.
The blonde lady receptionist smiled at them both, her white pearl teeth lit up the whole scene in front of them, ''How may I help you?'' She asked happily. The people working here weren't evil, the manager Matt was, and he was hiding it all from his workers.
''We,'' Daisy said, motioning for Jemma to come forward who once again got distracted by the scenery in front of her, Daisy continued once Jemma was by her side again, ''We have a job interview with Matt Robinson.''
The receptionist nodded kindly, flashing them another smile, ''Okay, take the elevator to the highest floor, his office will be the last one near the windows.'' She said and stretched out her fingers to point towards the silver elevator. Jemma nodded in a thankful manner while making sure that all her pins were still in her hair. First impressions matter, especially when they were about to get close to someone who knew something about Daisy's daughter.
''Okay,'' Daisy let out a small breath, stopping her heart from beating at an accelerating rate, ''Not so far now. As soon as we get the job, we know that we are one step closer to finding Sienna.'' She spoke quietly in case they had some audio scanning devices in the lift.
The elevator stopped gently and its doors opened swiftly, revealing a beautiful view in front of them. It was a huge glass window, just huge, revealing the sight of the city. ''It should be down there.'' Jemma said whilst pointing towards the end of the beautiful hallway. They approached the end of the hallway and read the name that was carved into a piece of metal that was hanged on the door. ''M. Robinson.'' Jemma read out loud before knocking.
Daisy put a big smile on her face after seeing Simmons doing it. ''Come in.'' A manly voice from the other side of the door called. Daisy twisted the door handle, revealing the same guy they saw pictures off after they read the encrypted message that Sienna was in fact safe. It was from him. Daisy knew he knew where Sienna was. Of course he did. She wished she could attack him right there and then, but her logic was stopping her. The watchdogs weren't the people who'd give up information, it was better to play it slow and safe. It was smart to do so.
''Oh, hello ladies.'' Matt greeted them with a welcoming smile, Daisy felt her blood boiling, though she managed to keep her composure in tact and smile through out all the anger she felt. He stood up from his chair and motioned for them to sit down on the chairs in front of his desk that was filled with papers.
''Nice to meet you, sir.'' Jemma said in the kindest voice she possibly could.
Matt chuckled, brushing his fingers across his black beard that was shaven very accurately and evenly, ''No need to call me sir,'' He said with a smile, ''Just have a seat.''
They both sat down, sharing strange looks when Matt turned around and sat back at his desk, Jemma had to nudge Daisy after seeing that she was slightly shaking. Daisy was mad, but it was important for her to keep it together, after all the effort, the wasn't going to let herself ruin it.
''Thank you for the quick appointment, I didn't expect you'd see us so soon.'' Daisy said through almost gritted teeth, though her voice remained calm and kind. It almost sounded happy.
''It's all my pleasure.'' Matt said when he picked up his papers and placed them closer to himself as he tried to make out the letters on it, his gaze landed on Daisy, ''So you'll be Miss Murphy,'' He said and Daisy smiled before nodding, he was buying it.
Matt placed down the papers, ''So why does this company interest you?'' He questioned, going over the basic questions someone would get asked in a job interview.
''Well, what doesn't...'' Daisy said with a chuckle, motioning towards everything in the room, ''But of course, the science interests me the most.'' She explained with a smile, earning a small nod from Matt.
''What science field are you working in currently, surely, you'd have to know something to earn a place here.'' Matt said with yet another smile, which made Daisy grit her teeth hard.
''Biochemistry.'' She explained.
Matt proceeded to ask her different questions about her scientific knowledge, by the time she was done she was so thankful to Jemma for telling her all she needed to know on the bus. Daisy didn't completely understand what she was saying about the different types of fields of science but Matt seemed to believe her faked knowledge.
Matt smiled at Daisy, ''If you could just leave the room for a moment, I'd like to interview Miss Jones, here.'' He said and motioned towards Jemma. Daisy nodded, complying. She left the room and wasn't worried for Jemma at all, she knew she'd nail this. After all, this was indeed Jemma's field of knowledge.
After a few minutes Jemma joined her outside with a smile, ''Wasn't that hard now, was it?'' Jemma asked when she closed the door behind her, leaving Matt alone in his office.
Daisy looked at her with a weird look fixed on her face, it looked as if she was almost shocked, ''Not that hard? Simmons, I didn't understand a single thing I told him. All thanks to you though I remembered what you were telling me on the bus.'' She quietly said right after she looked around in case anyone was standing there, listening.
A sound of a phone ringing came from behind the door, Matt's deep voice began to get louder, ''I cannot talk now, we'll discuss this later.'' As suspected, he opened the door, inviting them back in. ''I had time to contact my colleagues and email them the forms,'' He began and Daisy could feel tension growing in the room, he opened his mouth to announce his final verdict and Daisy was pretty sure she could hear her heart beat. ''We decided that you'll be the perfect fit for this company.'' Matt announced with a smile and tightened his tie around his neck.
''Thank you, we will most definitely not disappoint you.'' Jemma thanked him and smiled back, Daisy did the same, though she didn't use any words to do so, just a smile. She really didn't want to ruin it by talking too much, happiness was making its way all across her body. There was another step, another step closer to finding her daughter.
''Let me show you where you'll be working.'' Matt said and led them towards the elevator. His fingers hovered above number 11 right before he pressed it with force. His phone began to ring again, he pulled it out of the pocket of his tidy grey suit and sighed once his gaze fell on the phone.
Daisy stood there uncomfortably, shifting her weight from one leg to the other as the doors slowly began to close. Jemma turned to Daisy slightly, they both knew who was probably calling him right now. Matt put the phone back right after he clicked the decline button gently. ''Sorry about that.'' He said with a smile and the elevator stopped. The metal door opened, revealing a big space, telescopes rested on each of the spacious tables, petri dishes were laying under them for research purposes. Jemma's mouth hung open, this was just one floor, and it was already more than she could imagine.
''Stay focused.'' She whispered to herself silently with a slight roll of her eyes. Jemma wasn't allow herself to get distracted, though she still had to play the role. ''This is amazing!'' Jemma said much louder so that Matt could hear.
''Yeah.'' Daisy said with an excited voice that was hard to make for her.
Matt nodded, almost appreciating their reaction, ''I know.'' He said with a smirk, ''Science is truly great, discovering new things everyday is a hobby.'' An older lady approached them three, her light burgundy hair were tied up in a neat, tight bun. Her black glassed covered the bags under her eyes which were still partly visible, though she was still smiley.
''Welcome.'' She said in a friendly manner while shaking Daisy's and Jemma's hand.
''If you could please show them around that'd be fantastic.'' Matt said and the lady instantly nodded with a happy face, ''I'll see you two ladies later.'' He said and walked back into the elevator, with one last look at Daisy, he pressed one button and the door began to close.
''Follow me this way.'' She said with a smile, the SHIELD agents did as they were told. They walked right behind their heels, Daisy drifted away from the conversation, all she could think about was her daughter and how long it would take to find her. Jemma however managed to listen and played her undercover role really well- not that she wasn't interested in the science stuff...
''Now, if you'd like to go back to Mister Matt, he'll tell you the rest and you'll be probably starting to work tomorrow.'' She said with another smile, ''I cannot wait to start working with you lovely ladies!'' She said while leading them towards the lift.
Once they were in, Daisy let out a deep breath which almost sounded like a sigh, ''Is it bad that I didn't understand anything at all? All that science stuff is just making my day worse-no offence, I just don't get it.'' Daisy explained with wide eyes in case she offended her best friend.
Jemma chuckled, ''I'm not offended, Daisy.'' She said. The metal door opened smoothly, revealing Matt on the other end of the hallway.
He had his phone pressed to his ear tightly, his finger tips were turning yellow from the force, ''We have a problem.'' He said with a stern voice and turned just in time to see Daisy and Jemma standing there, waiting for him.
Whoop whoop! Sorry for the long wait, I have my exams coming up which BLOWS! :') As always though, THANK YOU FOR BEING so supportive and kind! I'm definitely looking forward to the reviews on this chapter :) Thank you all!
