Philinda Stuff

The fall.

May quickly dove behind a bush as her target came up closer. She turned on her com and heard a slight beep letting her know that the other person could hear if she tried to talk.

"Coulson." She whispered.

"Welcome back." He spoke, "how is everything going right now?"

"Well he migrated into the woods, I've been following him." There was silence for a moment.

"Could his sponsors be in the woods?" Coulson asked unsure.

"I don't know what else it would be."

"What is he doing now?" May peaked her head around the bush expecting to see a man standing there, but there's no one.

"Damnit! He's gone!"

"What?!"

"He ran off!" May quickly stood up and looked around, he was no where in sight.

"He ran off?" Came the angered voice in her ear.

"That's what I said!"

"Dont get smart with me! Go find him!" May scoffed and started to run straight ahead. She was constantly dodging tress and limbs that had fallen on the forest floor. "How the hell do you let someone get away..." Coulson muttered.

"I can still hear you..." May said breathlessly.

"Good." Coulson snapped back. She stopped for a moment and looked around.

"Phil he got away, it's getting dark anyways and its about to be cold."

"Agent May you find him!" Rolling her eyes May turned around and tried and other direction. She did her best to try and ignore Coulsons words of dissatisfaction but it was hard when they were coming right out of her ear, so May just turned the volume down.

Her eyes scanned around the forest floor. She graduated top of her class not only combat but observation. So it was very unlike her to not see the cliff.

She continued to run as fast as she could but suddenly she tripped over a root and stumbled to the ground, her body slid to the corner of the ledge. May yelled and desperately tried to grab onto something but it was too late.

She was falling,

And falling,

Constantly getting cut by rocks and sticks. Finally when her body got to the base of the cliff she was able to stop herself from rolling. She groaned and her arms lazily came over her aching torso.

"May?!" Came the worried voice of Coulson. "May?! Are you ok?!" May turned over onto her side and coughed. "Agent May do you copy!" Coulson heard her take in a raspy breath.

"I..copy..." pain radiated down her spine once she tries to lay on her back again, she let out a agonizing scream that made Coulson shudder.

"Melinda hold on we're coming to get you." May nodded and swallowed. "Let's see I have to get your loca-" Coulson voice cut out and static filled the coms.

"Phil?" May raspy voice spoke as loud as it could. She coughed again her lungs doing their best to function. "Phil..?"

oOo

Coulsons eyes widened and his mouth fell open slightly when static filled his end of the com.

"Melinda?" He said her name with such softness. "No no no no!" He quickly ran over to the computer set up in his office. With a few clicks of a button he pulled up her location but there was nothing. "DAMNIT!" Coulson fumbled as he grabbed his phone out.
