Hunter walks along the beach with a woman, holding her hand. "I should really be getting ready for the party. Besides, I thought you said you wanted time in the ocean." the woman said.
Hunter stops and pulls her in closer. "I've seen it, fish, waves – whatever. I found something far more captivating." Hunter moves in close to her, she smiles and they kiss. While they kiss his hand slides into her purse unnoticed.
A moped appears on the beach road and Hunter holds something out as Skye reaches out a hand and grabs what looks like a flash drive on a chain, Hunter watches her go. Skye looks over her shoulder, Hunter gives her a wink then goes back to the woman, Skye looks forward again with a smile.
"The rabbit's in the hutch. I'm on my way." Skye said.

Skye drives the moped onto the Bus's ramp, she pulls it to a stop, takes off the helmet, gets off and then heads upstairs.
"I think we'll make it," she throws whatever it was Hunter gave to her to Trip. "Hunter did a good job, uh, distracting Gabriel Soto's executive assistant."
It's a flash drive that Trip has plugged it into Skye's laptop for her and she begins typing. "Oh, I bet he did," they both see some sort of spreadsheet with names and money figures of $25,000.00 up on her screen. "Damn. Tickets cost $25,000?" Trip asked.
"Each. Which is why I'm going for the five finger discount," Skye clicks a couple of keys. "Mack, you're on."

Cars are pulling up outside a really fancy house.
"Copy that. We're pulling up now." Mack walks in front of a Rolls Royce and opens the back door on the passenger side. Coulson exits, look very un-Coulson like, he's still wearing a suit, but there's no tie – the first few of his buttons are undone. He looks almost...relaxed for Coulson.
"Thank you." Coulson said.
"Sir, notice the car? 1962 Rolls, restored it myself." Mack said, he really wanted to work on Lola.
Coulson gives Mack a smile. "I noticed. Still not letting you work on Lola."
Mack gives him a smile right back. "In time, sir. In time."
May, who was wearing high heels and a really fancy dress stepped out of the car. Coulson holds out his hand and she takes it, allowing him to pull her from the car.
"This is fun, right?" May shoots him a "you're kidding me," look. He holds up his arm for her to see. "Look, cufflinks," Coulson gives her a grin which she does not return.
"I will pay you $500 right now for a pair of flats." May said without emotion.
"Amen to that. Heels are the worst." Skye said over the comms.
Coulson's smile falters a bit but he keeps it and glances at Mack. "Good luck, sir." Mack said.
***
Coulson holds out his elbow to May, she puts her hand through it and he leads them away after a very deep sigh. They plaster on their fake smiles and away they go. Mack closes the door and watches after them.
They walk to a small desk set up outside the house where a man is waiting. "Identification, please." the man said.
"Of course." Coulson holds out a license.
