Thalia's POV
I got a call from Coulson calling me back to Shiekd. Apparently Ward had attacked May and Hunter and planned an attack on Andrew, who was apparently Nay's other soulmate.
"How's your mandarin?" May asked me as we got on the quinjet.

"Ms. wong would like to access
her safe-deposit box. Here's her account number," I said to the guy at the bank.
"I will need your I.D.S, please," said.
"Of course," I said handing them over.
May said something in mandarin clearly flirting with the guard as his scanner beeped and read our ids. I knew all he would find were the false ids Fitz had come up with for us. I had managed to heal him! He had thanked me profusely and I just nodded and gave him a hug.
"Ms. wong likes your tie," I translated to the guard. He blushed.
"Follow me," he said. We did so. "take as much time as you need," the guy said before leaving.
Box 38.
??
"Fitz, we need anything on Strucker, anything that will get us to Ward," I said into my earpiece.
"Yeah, getting it." Fitz said.
"Real-estate deeds, passport...," May said as she sifted through the contexts of box 38.
"No cash?" I asked.
"He must've cleared it all out. He --" just then an alarm went off.
"oh, uh...Guys, I think you
triggered an alarm somewhere!" Fitz said. I groaned.
"Great. How much time do we have?" I asked.
"Uh...Oh. Looks like zero," May said as the vault door slams open.
"What is happening in here?" The guard asked.
"My boss would like to congratulate you," I said quickly.
"What?"
"Your security system is top-notch, and your team is incredibly efficient," I said as I looked at the other guards who had filed into the room. "Just what we'd hoped for!" I said.
The guard chuckled as May looked at me questioning.
"We've been reading up on you," I said.
"Oh, I see where you're going with this. One second!" I heard Fitz say.
"We'd like to offer you a job."
"A job? This seems most unorthodox."
"We were sent from your former employer, first fiduciary national, and they would like you back. I know it's been hard, your wife missing Miami. How long have you been separated?" I said as Fitz filled me in.
"You know about that?" He asked confused.
"You're only earning 4% more than you were in 2012. We can do better." I said trying to be diplomatic but May just wanted to punch her way out so we did.
*****
Our next stop was a penthouse in Lisbon where we thought we'd be able to find Strucker or Ward. We arrived in time to see three men torturing Strucker. When they saw us they stabbed him and tried to escape. I chased after and beat them down. We ran over to Strucker and tried to ask him where Ward was but he died before we could get any information out of him.
