Chapter 11: Another 084?

♠♠♦♦♦♠♠♦

      I went to bed. What else was I supposed to do? I wasn't gonna wait up like an impatient parent for the team. No matter how much I might actually care for them, I won't show it.

I fall into a restless sleep with many haunting dreams.

I jerk up gasping. My eyes adjust to the darkness quickly, and I notice a dark figure peering in.

My heart speeds up as the person takes a step foward. I relax as I see who it is.

Keep your cool, Skye. It's just Ward.

"Yes?" I ask.

"We found something."

     When they went to the site they talked to the driver, who said he was indeed attacked by something invisible. His truck had been lifted up a good distance... And then dropped.

     And then Fitz had some Electronic field scanner out, which according to Simmons triggered some... Thing out of this little glass ball they found on the ground.

      "Like a gravitational push and pull." Fitz had told me. "Everyone in the immediate area around it felt it."

Right now Fitz and Simmons are studying the little sucker, trying to figure it out.

I watch Phil as he talks to May a few counters over.

      "Either someone cracked our Comm system, or Dr. Hall's movements leaked Shield." He tells May glancing at me.

Is he accusing me?

"Do you really think we have a mole?" May asks in a hushed tone.

She doesn't want me to overhear.

       I can't help it, I stand up and start to walk over to Coulson. I wasn't gonna let him stand there and hint hint at the mole theory.

       "I think you should go through the communication logs, rule it out." Coulson says. "We'll work the tractor tread we found on scene."

I tap Phil on the shoulder.

"I can do that." I tell him. "I can upload an image of the pattern and see if there's any kind of-

Ward cuts me off.

       "I already did that. Matched to a 2010 model." He says. "Found a list of those purchased in a 500 mile radius. Narrowed down to those with priors, financial problems, or propensity for risk taking."

Everyone seems pleased with what he's saying. Especially Coulson.

I roll my eyes.

Ooohhh he said 'propensity', good job Ward! Such a big boy now!

A sudden jolt of nausea hits me.

Am I feeling jealous of Ward?

I abruptly shove the thought away.

"We've got 3 suspects." Ward says.

Coulson nods, but looks slightly frustrated.

     "Who may have sold their construction equipment to the kidnappers." Phil gives a small smile. "We'll have to ask."

Ward chuckles.

I give a deep sigh.

      "Tomorrow Ward and I will go meet with the first suspect." Coulson tells us. "May, direct the plane to the suspect's location."
