San Juan, Puerto Rico 0600 a.m.

Now I know what you're thinking. Why is this girl spending her friday night inside a computer server room hacking into this multibillion dollar companies database while hanging upside down by a wire that was hanging in the vent. It was easy enough, get in get out. Collect the data that the person wanted her to get and a little for herself and get her money. Sage took a drag of the joint between her lips before transferring the last of the data onto the encrypted hard drive before finishing the last of her joint and packing her smart phone away. She pressed the button on the remote control in her hand and slowly ascended into the vent above her.

Tallulah quietly slipped her body around the vents corner before looking in between the slits of the vent to make sure the guards were gone. When she was sure the coast was clear she removed the vent covering and while still holding it jumped down closing it on way and slipping out and open window across from the vent. When she got out the window she grabbed for the leg across from it before jumping to the next ledge underneath her. It may take her awhile to get down since she was on the 88th floor. When she finally got to the 1st floor she jumped down next to a large garbage bin and took off the straight haired wig she had on freeing her long curly natural hair.

Sage took off her gloves and jacket and took out a new phone and switching out the sim card from the old phone before stuffing the backpack with her discarded items and throwing them in the garbage before lighting a match and throwing it in, letting it burn. She turned on her heels and walked towards her bike, a black with gold details Yamaha YZF-R1 her pride and joy parked close by and grabbed the backpack sitting on the seat. She picked the backpack up and took out a leather jacket and her riding gloves before putting on her helmet and riding off.

Sage put her bike in park in the back of the what looked like an abandoned building and walked to the graffitied door and knocked three times and slapped it with her palm before the top part of the door slide open and two eyes looked down at her leaning figure on the door.

'Hi Greg," she said smiling at him. The eye part of the door slide closed and Sage heard the many bolts and knobs of the door before it opened up to loud music and the smell of cigarettes and drinks were in the air. She turned to the man named Greg who was a large white man with a green mohawk, he leaned down and gave her a peck on the cheek as she walked in. It was your regular underground space, a free place to trade secrets, take a hit out on someone the regular.

"Sage, mi niña está en la casa," (Sage my baby girl is in the house) a male voice yelled. looked up to see her client and friend Armand, a man from Puerto Rico with many tattoos and dreads smiled at her while pointing his beer towards her making everyone's attention turn to her as she got many kisses on the cheeks and hugs from people as she passed by to get to him. When she finally walked up the stairs Armand walked up to her and gave her a kiss on both of her cheeks and hugged her.

"Que estas haciendo, bebe," (How you doing baby) he asked as she pulled a chair out for her to sit down.

"Nada nuevo papá puesto me hizo obtener lo que me pidió," (Nothing new daddy but I did get what you asked me for) she said taking her pack off her back and putting it on the table. Sage spoke about four different languages, french,spanish,japanese and english. She was raised by her grandmother and she had done her best to put her in the best schools even though Tallulah always liked the more wrong side of the tracks. Armand grinned and quickly reached out for the bag but Sage brought it back behind her.

"Oh papi you're forgetting, I need my green before you get what you need," she said wagging her finger at him.

"Oh yes of course how could I forget" he waved his fingers and a busty girl came over with a black bag of money smiling at Sage who blew a kiss to her. "Here you go mama 50,000 just like you asked for," he said. Sage took the bag and gave it a little shake before nodding and getting her backpack and taking out the hard drive and handing it to him.

"So this is really all of it," Amrand asked in his thick accent. Sage took of her jacket showing off her size DD assets that laid made your eyes travel up to her rose tattooed covered neck and shoulders. Sage knew she looked good and she didn't need any man or woman to tell her. She was a average five foot five with a coke bottle bottle shape and a face that would make you want to leave your bride at the alter. She has green eyes from a father she never knew and long shinny curly hair from her dope fiend mother that left her on her grandmother's steps when she was two weeks old. Besides the tattooes on her neck she had all her fingers on both hands tattooed saying 'live' on one hand and 'die' on the other and a koi covering her whole back that she got traditionally done in japan.

"It's the real deal bank account number, passwords, personal files, the works," she said leaning back in her chair.

"Well come on mi amor have a drink, relax it's not everyday that you hack into the most powerful company in the country and get away with it," Armand said raising his hand for a beer to be given to Sage. "So grandma still think you're studying abroad he said passing Sage her beer. She took a swing of it and smiled at the glass.

"Nah, I couldn't use that anymore since the school went ahead and mailed her my diploma so right now I'm just traveling and working," she said. Hmm the beer had a weird after taste to it, must be new she thought to herself.

"Mal, when you gonna slow down, Aún tienes tu vida para vivir,(You still have your life to live)" Armond said to her. Sage nodded her head and smelled the beer, hmm it even smelled weird she thought to herself. She knew she couldn't be tipsy or even buzzed because she had taken only a sip of this beer but she felt a little light on her feet.

"I'm only twenty-four Armand it's not like I have somebody waiting at home for me to play house with them," She said to him. Yeah there was the definitely something wrong with this beer. She ran her hair through her hair and tried to calm herself down and not seem suspicious. She had been drugged before but it had been a while and she wasn't completely on her guard.

"Mama, you ok, you don't look so good," Armand said patting her on the arm. Sage sighed and cracked her neck making Armand flinch and quickly made his hand retreat .Sage closed and opened her eyes before looking at Armand and if only looks could kill.

"Well I hate to ask this man but...did you drug me," She asked tilting her head to the side. The whole table got quiet and looked at Armand waiting for an answer as well. Armand gulped and rubbed his hands together.

"So is that a yes," she asked. Armand slowly nodded his head and Sage sat back in her chair.

"But listen mami it's not caus-," he tried to say but she had had already pulled the 9mm pistol sitting in the man's lap that was to the right of her from him and aimed right in Armand's chest. She turned and shot the two men in the chest. When the last three tried to get up Sage went and shoot the two men on her left point blank in the chest while elbowing the man on her right in the nose then shooting him in the chest. Everyone in the club were screaming and running now out of the door leaving her and the dead men. But something still felt wrong.

Sage sat down aimed the gun at a wall and shot it before really feeling the pistol in her hand.

"These are fucking blanks…..YOU ASSHOLE, GET UP ," she yelled at the dead table throwing the gun down on the man she had punched and heard him groan. For a minute it was quiet before Armand groaned and slowly tried to get up. The others around him made noises expressing their pain ass well and trying to get up the man Sage had punched noise seemed to be broken, it was bleeding profusely and he was trying to hold his head back. Sage grabbed Armand by the collar of his shirt, ignoring his pleas for her to stop.

"What the fuck is going on Armand, you better tell me now or I really will shoot you, Te voy a joder (I'll fuck you up). Suddenly behind her she heard the sound of hands clapping together slowly. Sage turned around to see a dark skinned man in a crisp suit and who seemed to have scars from the way she could see the raised and slightly deformed skinned next to a clouded over eye walking next to an good looking olive skinned man who was bald and wearing a black wife beater under and white cargo pants. He was also very well built she noticed.

"Well I got to say that was pretty darn good, so cold to, so I guess you've killed before," the black man asked with a big smile on his face.

"I'm sorry but who the fuck are you guys," she yelled at them , standing up from her chair and glaring at them. Sage noticed the bald man slowly look up her body until he was looking her in the face. "And what the fuck is this clown looking at," She said pointing to the younger man.

"Hey you can't blame me," he said shrugging.

"Enough of the chit chat, Ms. Riviera my name is Augustus Gibbons, I'm a from the government and am in charge of an organization called the XXX program I-," he said. Sage raised her finger suddenly stopping him from taking and getting the most surprised look on Gibbons face that anyone had ever seen him have and she she took down and bottle of bourbon on a shelf next to her and a glass before pouring herself one and taking a swig.

"You guys want some," she asked. The bald man and Gibbons looked at each other , the bald man with a large smile on his face already.

"You know what that'll be fine," Gibbons said walking toward the table. Luckily Armand and his buddy's had quietly slipped out , gathering their belongings fearing they would make Tallulah even more mad. Sage took two more glasses down and filled then a quarter up then took another swig of hers.

"So first off, you guys don't have to explain who are because I already know," she said making both men pause while drinking. "You already introduced yourself," she said pointing to Gibbons then turned to the bald man and reached her hand to turn his head slightly and looked at his neck to see the three x's on the back of it. "So you must be Xander Cage, I used to be a big fan". She raised her drink to him.

"Used to be," he asked smiling at her. Sage smiled back at him then turned her attention back to Gibbons. "But since you two are together it must mean you are trying to recruit me and the answer is hell to the hell no," she said downing her drink and refiled it. "You got my friends to drug me, who the fuck does that"?

"Hey I know how you feel, he shot me the first day we met," Xander said getting a look for Gibbons that made him raise his hands up and shrug.

"I'm sorry but I had to see if the rumors about you are true, you're a very hard lady to find Sage Riviera,". Gibbons pulls out a folder from under his arm and sat it open on the table. "24 years old, graduated top of your glass in computer engineer and software engineer, has mastered four languages, was taken care of by your grandmother". He closed the report and looked a Sage.

"So what's your point, I'm still not going," she said. Gibbons laughed and smiled at Sage.

"Sage I don't think you're understanding, all that information you stole and sold to your buddy, gets you about 30 years in prison, you really want that," he said Sage chuckled before reaching down and pulling out a glock 26 front her ankle and pointed it at Gibbons temple. Zander's mouth slightly hung open before he licked his lips and turned towards Sage.

"Ok I'm not one to break up a party but you don't want to do that," he said pointing at her gun.

"And why not," she said, her eyes never leaving Gibbons.

"Well I can tell you from first hand experience this guy is a asshole, so just think of what you'll have to deal with if you kill him, you'll never get the peaceful life again with what he's got on you plus murder, come on even I wouldn't want that". He had gotten Sage's attention. "Plus there's a whole bunch of guys out there surrounding this place so I hope you have a great escape plan". Sage thought about it and hated to admit he was right, she didn't have time to be sitting in some jail cell or on the run all the time from the government. She sighed and put her small gun's safety on and put the gun down. Gibbons fixed the collar on his suit and smiled at the two.

"Well that went well, but I have to warn you Sage, the next time you point a gun at me I'll just order you to be shot and we can just sit in hell together if you decided you want to pull the trigger," he said then laughed before clapping his hands and getting up. Sage turned towards Xander.

"Is it always this weird with him," she asked.

"It can get weird," he said

Come on you two we have work to do," Gibbons said from the door.
