Coulson walked down the hallway at a fast pase. He had to go to May and figure out what was going on. Did she say something to piss him off? did she hurt him? There's no way she wouldn't do that. Maybe she just went down there and he started to randomly bang his head on the wall. All of these thoughts overcrowded his head until he reached the training room. Her new recruits were all on the mat warming up for what they thought would be a hard day of training. His eyes wandered a minute until they fell upon Piper doing some leg stretches. He walked over to her and she slowly pulled up and put her hands behind her back.

"Sir." She gave him a curt nod. Coulson looked around at the other agents making sure that no one could hear him. "Everything alright sir?" He turned his attention back to Piper.

  "Have you seen May?" Coulson whispered.

  "Yeah sure, she's in the locker room." Piper gave him a searching look and began doing her arm stretches. Coulson nodded and jogged over to the locker room. He quickly opened the door but he froze. There was clothing and items scattered everywhere, multiple lockers were opened with obvious signs of being searched through. Coulson looked over to the left corner and saw May looking in some lockers. Sweat made her face sparkle and her breathing was quick and short. Coulson slowly closed the door and May stood up from her position.

  "May?" Coulson called. She didn't say anything, she just simply grabbed a few wallets from a locker and set the down. "Whats up?" May slowly lowered herself to the floor to look over her newly found wallets.

  "The base has been infiltrated... something got in."

  "So you thought you'd redecorate?" He asked jokingly. May didn't respond for a second she just  looked over the wallets.

  "Maybe something got in, maybe someone brought something in thats getting to everyone..." Coulson nodded slowly in understanding.

  "And if you find it you can destroy it..."

  "Yeah that's right..." she opened a pouch and pulled out a few credit cards.

  "Always ready to do the brave thing... always looking out for us..."

  "I won't let them take you!" She jumped up from her sitting position and went over to another locker, she opened it and quickly started to throw things like  coats and shirts and socks out and onto the floor.

  "May, uh. what if we stop take a minute...rest make a plan?" May shook her head at his request.

  "No, cant... can't! No time." Coulson scrunched his eyebrows up with concern. It sounded like she was going insane. May quickly walked over to another locker and started looking through it.

  "You know what," Coulson started walking towards May, "we've got blood samples of every shield agent in the base including the director... maybe that could help us find out who's been infected," Coulson tried to put a comforting hand on her shoulder but she pushed it away in fear. Coulson dismissed it and kept his hand hovering just above her shoulder. "We just have to go the lab... how does that sound?" May thought about it for a moment before agreeing. She nodded to him and Couslon placed a hand on her back to lead her towards the door. They both walked out and passed the crowd of younger agents. Everything seemed to be going fine until he heard May mutter,

  "Wait, no." Coulson turned on his heal and saw May looking around fearfully. He slowly made his way to her.

  "May, you alright?" May gave him a searching look.

  "Why do you want me to go down to the lab so badly?"

  "I told you so we can-." Coulson stopped himself, he knew there was no point in lying. "Listen there's a situation you need to be aware of." May sneered at him.
