AGENT, THE CONTENTS OF THIS DEBRIEFING COULD BE FATAL IF IT GETS IN THE WRONG HANDS! READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Location: Helicarrier, Debriefing. 

James Buchan Barnes: Wait, are you recording?

Agent Coulson: Yes.

{Movement is heard.}

Coulson: Are you comfortable Agent Barnes?

Barnes: Hardly, can I just get this over with?

Coulson: Very well, we'll  start.

 [a moment of silence and a throat is cleared.] 

Coulson: So, you want to tell me that you guys had it figured out?

Barnes: Yes. We did.

Coulson: My question is, why didn't any of you see it sooner?

{a long moment of silence.}

Coulson: Agent. Answer my question.

Barnes: I don't know. Ask everyone else, not me. 

{A bitter laugh is heard.}

Coulson: What? You want to tell me the person they were closest to didn't see it coming? You had no clue they were going to do this? You saw nothing?

Barnes: If this entire thing is just to point fingers, i'm leaving.

Coulson: This is a debriefing, you can't just walk out of it, Agent Barnes, Now answer my question.

Barnes: No, i didn't see it coming.

Coulson: What happened after?

{a long moment of silence.}

Barnes: You know, why are you asking me?

Coulson: Because, this is going to superiors. Now answer the question.

Barnes: Can we come back to this later?

Coulson: Fine. How did they, as a team, handle it?

Barnes: We never expected it, it just happened out of nowhere. I guess, we're still not over it. 

Coulson: And you, Agent? How did you handle it?

{There is a long pause.}

Barnes: All of us were devastated, we lost both of them.

Coulson: Now, back to my earlier question. What happened after?

Barnes: I am going to refrain from answering. There is no point. You already know what happened.

Coulson: Agent, i'm expecting an answer.

[there is movement, and a chair scrapping against the floor.}

Coulson: Agent Barnes, where are you going?

[footsteps in floor are heard.]

Coulson: Barnes! Get back here! you can't walk out on a debriefing!

Barnes: Watch me!

[a door is slammed shut.}

Coulson: No...........!
