Hawkeye (Barton) has posed:
"Gawd I'm glad my month's over," Clint says, as he opens the back door, extending outside just long enough to drop a bag of used litter in the garbage can. "Next month is your turn cleaning the boxes!"

Returning to the living room and sending a murderous look at the cats, Clint sits back, his feet on the coffee table, glancing over at Skye who's working quite focused on her laptop. "So, what are you working on?"

Quake has posed:
Skye was sitting down with her laptop looking for information. Particularly on the 'Farm'. So far just digging through so much stuff that was irrelevant.

"That's nice." She wasn't paying any sort of attention to Clint.. Until.. Boxes? Why would he be glad.. ah drats. Her head peers at his. "It's almost the beginning of the month? How did that happen?!" And as if he knew what they were speaking about, Grant made a very snide smile, and went back to sleep.

Hawkeye (Barton) has posed:
Rarely very interested in whatever Skye is searching - after all /she/ is the specialist of the dark web / Clint had noticed how focused the SHIELD agent has been lately. The case must be serious.

Glancing at her laptop, he can see a group photo of soldiers posing in front of a tent, in a desertic surrounding. The soldiers wear a red maple leaf on their shoulder badges, "Canadians? Not yer usual criminals, right, except for sending Logan over." He grins at that, remembering his last visit with the X-Men, and the talk about cheap beers and hookers.

Quake has posed:
"Be nice to Logan, he helped me out at the beginning of getting a grip on my powers." But Skye has to admit, that was a little bit funny, regardless.

She showed him the picture. "This one there, he's responsible, I know he is. But how. That's the hard part."

Every time she thought she was getting somewhere, it didn't pan out. Everything came back to that man: Raymond Fortin.

Hawkeye (Barton) has posed:
Clint leans over, closer, to get a better look at the man on the photo. Then, data entered by Skye provide more information, another picture. Same guy, different place. "Ah look, in civilian clothes now, and older. It doesn't say where."

But Clint being known for noticing details, right there spots some bits of information, "Well, isn't it a fleur de lys flag, there, in the background? If you run some algorythms, it could probably pinpoint to the exact place, and get you closer to him. Man, so much river and mountains, it won't be easy to identify the place."

Quake has posed:
Skye sits for a minute.

"You're right. A fleur-de-lis. Now lets see.." She has a good reference in his watch - an older model, with ticking hand, not digital. And with that, and some time she's got a much smaller place to look in.

Hawkeye (Barton) has posed:
With an appreciative nod - Skye can do wonders with a computer - Clint watches as the computer... computes, and comes back with a narrowed area, in the St. Lawrence river, then pointing at a more specific, although large area: the Antiscosti Island.

Although he rarely uses it other than to order pizza, Clint pulls his half-broken Starkphone from his vest, checking info on the place. Maybe he's trying to beat Skye at it!

"Man," he grins, "Seriously? Anticosti: 280 inhabitants, 40 000 whitetail deers." He grins at that, "I guess SHIELD should start there. Who knows, the guy might be there still? Definatly a BBQ party on the photo, so it's either his place, or his friend's." Just an educated guess, which might be worth investigating.

Quake has posed:
"Well, I don't know if he had the kids there, but odds are, either he is, or we would see where he most likely would be found next." Skye can't think how he would have dumped the house so soon. It obviously was a 'cottage' home for him.

Hawkeye (Barton) has posed:
"Well, it might be from Amazonia to Borealis for me!" Clint jokes, now that a good lead has been found. Then he frowns, thinking, "But that is only one guy," he says, "This doesn't cover what you told me, the link to second-hand AIM stuff. I mean, there are the leaders, but we're also looking for the clients. So many trails to follow. Blah."

Since he has his phone in hand, Clint decides to order dinner, "Dumplings, good for you?"

Quake has posed:
"Dumplings.. and after supper I'll get right on it." Skye set her laptop down, and gave him a kiss. "Come on. Eat."
