Chapter 734: Chapter 733: Skye taken away
After finishing all the tasks in the car, Skye quietly lifted a book from the table, revealing three chips underneath, each programmed with a specific hacking code. She picked up one of the chips and discreetly hid it in her bra.
Closing the laptop, she turned to May and said, "It should be good to go. Let's head back."
At that moment, Michael Peterson suddenly descended from above, grabbing May and engaging in a struggle with her.
However, May was no match for the enhanced Michael, who grabbed her arm and threw her forcefully to the side.
"Bang!"
May was sent flying, crashing into a nearby wall before rolling down and losing consciousness.
Seeing Michael take down May, Skye shouted in shock, "Michael, what are you doing?"
Michael Peterson turned to Skye and replied, "Protecting you."
"This is what you said, right? The terrifying men in black from the government? You need to help protect us too."
Realizing she might have inadvertently caused this situation, Skye asked, still confused, "Us?"
In her mind, wasn't there only one person to protect?
Michael then pulled a child out from behind him—his son. Seeing the little boy, Skye felt a sense of helplessness.
Michael told his son, "Don't cry."
Holding his son while getting into the car, he said, "You have to be strong for me, Ace."
"We're what?"
Ace responded, looking down, "A team."
"That's right. Now, let's go."
With that, Michael Peterson slammed the car door shut, and an orange glow briefly appeared on his cheek before disappearing.
It was already early morning, with dawn not far off. Under Michael Peterson's direction, Skye drove the car out of the alley, heading into the distance.
…
Meanwhile-
Back at the airborne base, Ward was assembling his sniper rifle. Since defusing a bomb was the mission, he planned to neutralize the target from a distance.
As for Coulson, he hadn't prepared any long-range weapons; if Ward couldn't handle the situation, he was ready to step in. Coulson was curious—who would be stronger, the super soldier serum or the modified Extremis virus?
Simmons and Fitz approached Coulson, with Simmons saying, "Sir, he doesn't explode just because he's angry."
"They are related, it's a kind of chemical reaction."
"Calming him down can buy us some time, but eventually, he'll still explode."
Coulson asked, "Is there a solution?"
"Isolate him, keep him away from people."
Unhappy with the answer, Coulson pressed, "Or?"
Fitz, his voice a bit hoarse, said, "A bullet to his head."
Simmons explained, "If he dies, the radiation metabolism will stop."
Coulson glanced over at Ward, who was readying his weapon, and said, "We need to find a third option—one that doesn't leave Michael's son without a father."
Simmons shook her head, "We don't have much time. It's not possible…"
Coulson looked at her and said, "Never tell me something is impossible. This is your task now, handle it."
With that, Coulson turned and left.
By now, it had been quite some time since May and Skye had left, and the sky outside was already bright. Feeling uneasy about their delay, Coulson tried contacting May.
"May!"
Melinda May had just woken up, staggering out of the alley.
"He took Skye."
Hearing this, Coulson asked, "May, are you okay?"
May leaned against a wall, the blood at the corner of her mouth already dried.
"We can discuss this later. Right now, we need to find out where they went."
Clearly, Coulson and his team had lost track of Skye's location, and they needed to tap into surveillance cameras to figure out where she was.
…
Meanwhile-
The trio from the Sound Ninja Squad had received their orders and set out. Based on the intel provided by Lord Charles, they arrived at Union Station in East Los Angeles, California.
Here, they were tasked with keeping an eye on Michael Peterson, the target. At this moment, Zaku was carrying a large wooden barrel on his back, just big enough to fit a person.
The trio's appearance didn't draw much attention in the station's main hall, where they were merely regarded as some non-mainstream teens from the East Coast.
As for the ninja headbands, in a world flooded with figurines and cosplay, they no longer served as a mark of a true ninja.
…
At the same time-
Skye, along with Michael and his son, had arrived outside Union Station. However, the three of them didn't enter the station; Skye was busy altering their records on her laptop.
As she typed furiously, Michael sat next to her and asked, "How much longer?"
Skye, eyes fixed on the screen, replied, "Almost done, trust me."
She added with a hint of sarcasm, "This isn't as simple as deleting a Facebook page. I'm overriding highly encrypted data from the Licensing Bureau."
"Be patient."
Michael then voiced his concern, "How do I know you can actually pull this off?"
Skye shot him a glance, rolled her eyes, and said, "Because I've done it before."
With a final press of the Enter key, the computer displayed that the information had been deleted.
Now, Skye's next task was to create new identities for Michael and his son; after all, they needed usable identities after their original ones were erased.
…
Elsewhere-
Fitz and Simmons were working frantically to find a way to prevent an explosion—or at the very least, delay it after an injection to prevent overheating.
While they were deep into their work, the computer screen suddenly displayed a security breach message.
A series of coordinate codes began to scroll across the screen, covering it entirely. The lab's alarms blared loudly.
Simmons looked at Fitz and asked, "What is this? Did you do this?"
Fitz explained, "It wasn't me. This is interference."
"Someone's hacking into our secure channel."
At that moment, Coulson entered the lab, glanced at the screen, and said, "Those are coordinates. Michael has taken Skye."
"She's telling us where they are."
"You two keep working. I'm going to meet our target."
After giving these instructions, Coulson confirmed the location and quickly headed out with Ward, driving towards the coordinates Skye had provided.
At the same time, Coulson called in a local S.H.I.E.L.D. team for backup, taking them along to the target location.
