3rd Person POV-In The Shield Bus
"You want to tell me why we're flying to Mexico City?" Coulson questions.
"To get your head working on something else. I've been looking into Skye's past, like you asked, into the agent who dropped her off at the orphanage." May explains.
"Agent Avery. She was killed."
"But her partner wasn't. He disappeared." She states handing him a tablet and he takes it from her looking at it, there is a S.H.I.E.L.D. identification on the screen.
"Agent Lumley."
"Went off-grid 25 years ago, day after Avery was crossed off." May elaborates.
"He's resurfaced?"
"A few days ago, a Mexican teenager posted a selfie on his Facebook page." She clarifies.
She takes the tablet and pulls up the photo handing it back to Coulson before continuing, "Managed to capture our guy leaving a grocery store in the background."
"If he's good enough to avoid Shield all these years hell know."
"And he'll be on the move." She finished. Coulson nods, "We have a short window to intercept."
"He may have killed Agent Avery," Coulson says. May shakes her head, "Or wanted to avoid the same fate."
"Find him, we find out. How long till we touch down?" He questioned, looking at her.
May smiles, "Forty minutes." She starts walking out. "I'll gas the car."

Mexico City- In Lola(Coulson's Car)
May pulls some binoculars up to her eyes and looks at a dress shop.
"Dario Marquez's dress shop. Marquez doesn't do the best papers in town but he also doesn't use a computer." Coulson states.
"So if Lumley's gonna make a run for it your guess is he might pass through that door." May clarifies.
"It's worth a shot, so we wait."

Time Jump But, Still In Lola
"So...say you're gonna do what this guys did, leave shield, go off the grid. What's your move?" May waits for his answer but Coulson says nothing.
"I'd hide in the wheel well of a 747 flight from Newark to Singapore. Oxygen, a chute. The back half of the trip passes over three thousand miles of land, a dozen countries, could drop anywhere." She pulls up her binoculars looking at the shop, then lowers them. "You'd probably head to South America. You speak Spanish?"
"Vacation Spanish."
"Lima, most likely, what with the growing food scene," she says.
He finally looks over at her. He's normally the one trying to fill the awkward silences with conversations, now she has that role.
"All right, what's up?"
"You tell me."
"You're talking, more than ever."
"Cause you're not."
"And you suddenly became active on the Skye investigation?"
"She's proved herself, stepped up in a big way, for our team, for you," she explains.
"Is that it, or is it just to distract me?" Coulson queries. She lets out a deep sigh. "Both. I know you're having a hard time believing what-"
"They changed my memories. Who's to say they didn't change more?"
