"ARE you really going to shoot me? I'm your sister." Instead of answering her, Skye remained silent, but her gun remained pointed at Sienna and May.

"Drop your weapons." Coulson commanded.

"Coulson-" Sienna protested, she couldn't think straight, and it seemed no one else was either.

"Drop the damn weapons and kick them over to the stairs, now!"

May looked back at Sienna before placing her ICER on the floor and kicking it in the direction of the stairs, Sienna then did the same, putting her hands up in a surrendering motion afterward.

"Now back the hell up, over there." Coulson descended the stairs as May moved backward and stood next to Sienna. "Talk. Tell us where you rerouted the plane."

"God Coulson! She already told you, we didn't change the plane's course." Sienna shouted, her patience was starting to wear thin, Skye's angry face not helping the matter.

"Don't lie to me!" Coulson yelled back at Sienna.

"Yeah, well, the plane just turned around, for God's sake!" Fitz screamed.

"How is this happening then?" Skye asked sternly.

"HQ can override automated control of the avionics, take us anywhere they want." May explained, Sienna wiped her sweaty hands against her jeans. "Let me check the instrument panel, and I'll be able-"

"You're not going anywhere until you explain-" Coulson shouted.

"It's not me! It's not us!" May yelled back, her patience clearly wearing thin also.

"Why did you have an encrypted hard line then? One that only you two knew about?" Coulson questioned, his gun moving side to side as he grew more frustrated.

"And try to shoot me when we found it?" Fitz contributed to the conversation.

"Let's take a breath, okay?" Sienna stepped forward trying to diffuse the situation.

"Let's not!" Coulson pointed his gun at Sienna's chest.

"It was a dedicated channel...to Director Fury, that's the truth." May explained.

"Director Fury? I haven't been able to get him on the line for weeks."

"You were reporting to him?" Skye asked May, she turned to Sienna, a look of betrayal written across her face. "You helped her betray us?"

"That's all I can tell you." May said.

"Oh, just come out with it!" Fitz shouted, still behind the glass doors.

"That's all you can tell us?!" Coulson yelled.

"I'm under orders, we're under orders." May yelled back. "Fury will tell you."

"What? Was this an order?" Fitz asked, pointing at the two bullet holes in the glass. "To shoot me in the bloody head?!"

"That was a reaction!" Sienna shouted. "I apologize for my reflexes."
