Y/N's POV

"Peggy, what's going on? Are you sure you're doing okay, you seem exhausted."

"I'm fine," she insisted, pulling me along as we speed-walked towards the interrogation room. "It's just an urgent case that I need you on, right now."

"Alright.... You wanna tell me anything about this guy I'm supposed to be interrogating?"

"You should know plenty already, don't worry."

I frowned and started to ask another question, but stopped short when I saw Jack standing outside the interrogation room with his arms crossed.

"You guys, you're starting to freak me out a little. What is-"

Before I could finish my sentence, Jack yanked open the door and Peggy heaved me through before I could catch myself. I stumbled into the interrogation room and came face to face with a fuming Daniel Sousa, handcuffed to the desk, as the door slammed shut behind me.

Daniel and I stared at each other for a few beats as my brain tried to process the last few moments. Finally, I straightened up and gave Daniel a bewildered look.

"What just happened?"

Daniel huffed through his nose, and even in the dim lighting of the interrogation room, I could see a furious blush rising on his neck.

"I guess Jack and Peggy got bored and decided to mess with us to cure their boredom."

I blinked at him, then turned to the now-closed door. I took a few steps forward and rattled the doorknob, but it didn't budge. Jack and Peggy had seriously locked us in here.

"Did you get arrested?" I asked, turning back to Daniel. "Is this like that whole thing when you guys arrested Peggy last year?"

"No," sighed Daniel. "I think they just... I don't know. I don't know what those two were thinking."

He stared at the floor and shook his head, momentarily lost in his own thoughts. I couldn't help staring at him, my heart picking up speed just a little bit. There were certainly worse fates than being locked in here with Daniel, as far as I was concerned.

After a second, Daniel took a deep breath and looked up at me, the blush now creeping onto his cheeks as well.

"Y/N, would you mind grabbing the key to undothese handcuffs?"

I started, mentally kicking myself for not thinking of it earlier.

"Oh, yeah, of course! Did you... happen to see where the key is?"

"Jack tossed it in the corner," he said, nodding towards the corner of the room farthest from him. "I'm gonna kill him when we get outta here."

"I'll help," I said, giving Daniel a small smile as I moved to retrieve the key. I walked back to stand in front of Daniel, and he held his hands out as far as he could for me to unlock. I tried to take deep breaths and calm my racing heart as we stood almost chest to chest, but I wasn't having much success.
