==Arrest==
In a South Floridern motel, Claire Weiss and Benjamin Pollack counted their stolen money and celebrated. The duo were interrupted by loud music and Pollack went to tell the neighbor to turn it down. However, it turned out to be a trap set by Jasper Sitwell, who promptly binded Pollack's wrists. In the struggle, Pollack managed to knock over the stereo and alert Weiss. Weiss grabbed the Chitauri Gun and warned Pollack to duck before she shot. She blasted a hole through the wall and as she went to ascertain Pollack's safety, Sitwell came behind her and attempted to disarm her. Sitwell was charged by Pollack, making the gun to go flying and ending up shooting on its own, which gave Sitwell another opportunity to apprehend the two. 
Sitwell interrogated the two to find out how the gun was still functional and Weiss revealed that Pollack got it to work. Because of Pollack's knowledge, Sitwell chose to enlist him instead of killing him.
==Aftermath==
Benjamin Pollack and Claire Weiss were recruited into S.H.I.E.L.D. by Jasper Sitwell.
