"IAN QUINN." Coulson spoke as he walked into the breifing room while the team stood around the holocom waiting for him.

"You found him?" May asked.

"No. But we think we know how we can." Coulson replied. "Skye tracked down one of his shell companies. He made a big purchase recently."

"$10 million big." Skye added and the team raised their eyebrows in shock.

"Any idea what it is?" Simmons asked.

"No clue." Skye shook her head.

"We know that he has an alliance with Centipede and the Clairvoyant." Andrea spoke up. "It could be anything to help himself or them."

"It was designed and built by Cybertik, Inc. A small firm that deals in advanced technology and research." Skye explained her findings.

"Which is where this gets interesting." Coulson said. "They've hired a private security outfit to transport the purchase. Former military. Ex-mercs."

"A lot of muscle to move one package." Ward stated from beside Andrea.

"And they know S.H.I.E.L.D.'s got eyes on Quinn."

"Which is why they're transporting it old-school." Skye said.

"On a train through the Italian countryside."

"Smart, but clearly not smart enough if we've still found out." Andrea said. "Though, I do love the idea of the Italian countryside."

"From Verona to Zagreb. Very rural, very isolated." Coulson explained.

"And you think Quinn's on that train?" May asked.

"No, but I believe they're delivering the item to Quinn himself. We got our intel from Italian authorities who've been monitoring the situation."

"And they don't mind us taking over the op?"

"I asked very nicely." Coulson said with a small shrug. "If everything goes as planned, Cybertek's security team won't even know we were on the train."

"So we're going in undercover." Ward stated mrow than asked.

"I hate undercover." May said with her eyes narrows on Coulson.

"I personally love undercover." Andrea practically sang.

"May and Ward, you're front and centre." Coulson explained. "Once we locate the package, you'll tag it with a tracker. Skye and Fitz, you'll be running communications. After the package is tagged, we'll follow it to Quinn. Once we capture Quinn, we'll b ron step closer to The Clairvoyant."

"And what about Andrea and the two of us, sir?" Jemma asked and Andrea smirked beside her.

"I'm taking the front compartment." Andrea began explaining to the brunette and the rest of the team. "Intel suggests there's a VIP Cybertek contact in one of the private cabins. If I can identify and intercept them, we might gain critical information on their operations."
