Sterling's comment about her being concerned just made Skye roll her eyes as dramatically as possible. She had been worried. But she couldn't handle a situation like this by herself, and she certainly wasn't strong enough to haul his ass out by herself. She'd need Teddy for that, and he had better things to do.
And then he changed the topic, and she moved on. She wasn't going to dwell on it, she promised herself. "They really have a flair for the dramatic," she replied dryly. These things never seemed to be straightforward. She just wanted one easy job. Just one. Something where it was in, out, home again. And so far, this seemed like it would be easy. Which meant, naturally enough, that things were about to go to hell.
"Absolutely. They probably need us to save their asses. Definitely in over their heads," She said, getting to her feet and brushing down her jeans a little. She held out a hand to help Sterling to his feet.

Ollie knew that Theo was holding back, but after what had just happened, he couldn’t blame him in the slightest after what he’d been through. He was afraid of scaring or hurting the hostages. Ollie couldn’t hurt them if he wanted, so he was okay with that. The hostages watched him, the fear starting to fade from their eyes. He smiled at one of them and got a smile back.
He noticed Theo moving towards one of the hostages and snap the cable tie in one go. The hostages watched him, but not with fear. They watched them with curiosity, trying to figure them out. Ollie glanced over his shoulder at the door, watching and waiting for someone to appear.
“I... I think that’s them all,” Ollie said, doing a quick headcount of the hostages. “Are we good to go?“ He asked, looking over at Theo. But then he stopped. He held a finger to his lips as he crept to the door. If nothing else, his build made him perfect for stealth. He peered around the corner, but both ways were clear. The sense of unease didn’t leave him, though.
“I think we’re good. But Theo, take point. Just in case.”
