Garrett is sitting in the pilot's chair of a Quinjet, reading a book and drinking coffee. When an alarm suddenly starts beeping as Garrett looks over to the radar. He takes his feet down, sets down his coffee cup and turns off the music. He picks up the radio.
"Tower this is S.H.I.E.L.D. Echo 3. I got a pair of UAVs on my six. These friendlies? Over," Garrett looks at the radar and two UAVs come up out of the clouds behind Garrett's plane, "They're gonna hit my jet wash they get any closer," Garrett puts the earpiece of the radio up to his ear and hears static. "What is that?" he asked.
Suddenly the two UAVs open fire on Garrett's plane, he sits up straight acknowledging the danger. He pulls hard on the control causing the plane to shoot straight up as the missiles turn to follow. He turns and dives down spinning the plane as he does so, the missiles still behind him turning to follow. Suddenly it appears that the two missiles run into each other just behind the plane. Garrett's plane continues on, when he looks to his right he can see another S.H.I.E.L.D. plane appear from under the clouds.

Coulson, May and Skye are still in the cargo hold, while Fitz is still locked in the lab.
"Drop the weapon!" Coulson yelled.
"Coulson –" May tried to say.
"Drop the damn weapon and kick it over to the stairs, May, now!" May closes her eyes and seems to sigh, but she slowly lowers the gun to the floor and kicks it. "Now back the hell up! Over there!" Coulson yelled. He points her over closer to Skye as she walks a little closer to May still pointing her gun at her. Coulson comes down the stairs, picks up the gun and walks closer to May. "Talk. Tell us where you rerouted the plane." Coulson ordered.
"I didn't set this new course. I swear!" May yelled.
"Don't lie to me!" Coulson yelled back.
"Yeah, well, the plane just turned around, for God's sake!" Fitz yelled through the glass.
"How is this happening, then?" Skye asked, confused but still keeping her gun trained on May.
"H.Q. can override automated control of the avionics, take us anywhere they want. Let me check the instrument panel, and I'll be able to –" May tried to say only to be interrupted by Fitz.
"No way!" the Scotsman exclaimed.
"You're not going anywhere until you explain what –" Coulson was about to say.
"It's not me!" May yelled.
"Why did you have an encrypted hard line?" Coulson asked.
"And try to shoot me when we found it?" Fitz also asked.
"Let's take a breath, huh?" May suggested.
Coulson stalks closer to May, anger filling him, as he points the gun higher to her face. "Let's not!"
May seems rattled by him. "It was a dedicated channel...to Director Fury. That's the truth." she admits.
"Director Fury? I haven't been able to get him on the line for weeks." Coulson reminds her.
"You were reporting to him?" Skye asked.
"That's all I can tell you." May said.
"Oh, just come out with it!" Fitz yelled.
"That's all you can tell us?!?" Coulson yelled incredulously.
"I'm under orders! Fury will tell you." May said.
