Very soon, the three of them drove to the scene, and Skye picked up her computer and began searching right away.
Fitz, meanwhile, used his drone to scan the victim's body. Just as the drone was scanning it, a thread of static suddenly shot out from the corpse's forehead and knocked the drone down, while the body itself also fell from midair.
Bang!
The body smashed heavily onto the ground, while Fitz caught his drone.
Looking at the drone in his hands, Fitz smiled and said, "Got you."
Then he said to Simmons, "Notice all this scattered metal around the body? Like there was an electromagnetic field here before?"
"The question is, what generated it?"
Simmons looked at the body on the ground and said, "We need to get the body back to the Laboratory as soon as possible. These wounds..."
At that moment, Coulson's voice sounded through the earpiece. "Skye, find anything on the fire department?"
Skye answered, "After the Chitauri invasion, the fire department sent out a fire truck, along with twelve volunteer firefighters, to New York. Cross and Villen were among them."
"Maybe that's why they became targets."
At this moment, Coulson, Mei, Killer B, and Ward were sitting in a car, preparing to head to the fire station to look into it.
Killer B asked, "And how they were killed."
Skye looked at the body and said, "You mean... alien weapons?"
Coulson said, "Let's make sure we find those firefighters before anyone else does."
"Mei, you'll need to speed up."
Mei nodded, pressing the accelerator down a little harder.
Just then, a message suddenly came in on his phone. Coulson took it out and looked. It was a message from Sitwell.
"Cloud Village has returned. After the mission ends, bring Killer B back to S.H.I.E.L.D. Center."
