Now Sage usually one to like when A person easily spilled all their business for people but this was one of the times she needed that type of spilling. So when Aja started spilling out personal information and I do mean spilling, Sage sat there listening to her and filling her cup as she went along. Thank goodness the bug was there picking up everything because Sage was sure that she missed some of the slurred words that came from Aja. Then the drunk crime wife made Sage get up with her and dance and even get on the stage with Tommy Lee and dance, even though that part wasn't so bad. Sage hoped that the information was worth it though. Aja had mostly spoke about how she had been pretty much forced into marrying Solomon.

He was good to her in the beginning but started getting bored with her and finding his needs elsewhere. He still expected it from her though of course. She talked about how she wanted to get out this life but she knew that it would never happen because she would always be found and if she did run sit would be worse for her if was found. Aja even brought in some insight about places Solomon was going and places he had been on certain days. If Sage was correct then those dates added up to the times the biological weapons were stolen. Now they just needed to find out where the weapons were.

She was starting to get worried though, it had been about an hour now and there was still no sign of Xander anywhere.

"Hey...hey why you look um, shit I have the word on the tip of my tongue," Sage almost laughed as she watched Aja in her drunken state try to figure out the word she wanted to say.

"Worried," Sage asked. Aja's face lite up and snapped her fingers like the lightbulb had clicked over her head.

"Yea that..do you miss your hubby," Aja said leaning over and smiling as she swayed side to side. Sage laughed and took a sip of her drink. Her missing Xander that was a laugh.

"Of course, don't you miss yours," Sage asked. Aja sat upright and frowned as she shook her head.

"I think I'm good…...you know what Sage," Aja said looking up at her like a little kid who wanted some candy. Sage smiled back at her and arched her eyebrow.

"What's that," she asked. Aja got up from her seat and trying her best to not fall on her face walked over to Sage and sat down by her and have her a big hug. Sage's whole body tensed before bringing her hands up and giving Aja's back a small pat. Aja sighed, letting Sage smell the alcohol on her breath as she sat back and flipped her hair over her shoulder.

"You are so nice Sage and you didn't even laugh after I fell off that stage," Aja said. It was something Sage had tried to forget about how while they were dancing on the stage Aja ended up falling off and almost showing her 'business' to the entire party. Luckily Sage snagged a blazer off of a man close by and covered Aja up before anyone could get a good look.

"Don't worry about it," Sage said wavy her hand at her. Sage then almost fell over as she felt Aja lean on her. She looked down and sighed when she saw Aja was now asleep with her face right in Sage's breast. Sage tried to gently push her off but realized that the blonde had her arms still wrapped tightly around her waist.

"Damnit," she said as she tried to gently push the drunk woman off but that just resulted in Aja holding her even tighter.

"Excuse me ma'am but do you need some help," a voice said behind her. Sage turned her head and saw the old man who was staring at her for what seemed like forever was right behind her with two men by his side.

"Oh we're fine, she's just a little drunk," Sage side putting a protective arm around the sleeping Aja. She knew that she was in a room full of lowlifes, gangsters and who knows what else so even though the girl was a pain in her side at the moment she wasn't just going to let just anyone take her from her sight. The man nodded and looked back down at Sage.

"Would you mind if I sat down," he asked. Sage looked around her and put her hand out inviting him to sit. The old man raised his hand and the two bodyguards moved themselves to where one was behind the seats and then one in front of them. The old man sat down and extended his hand out for Sage to shake it.

"Nice to meet you my name is Matias," he said. She noticed now the Colombian accent in his voice and it reminded her of her grandmother. Sage looked at his hand before taking it and shaking it. "So what brings you here to this party"? Sage sighed and shook her head and smiled.

"I beg your pardon... Matias was it, but I'm not what you think I am," Sage said. She knew the type of women that were here at this party but she wasn't about to let some old man think that she was one of them. Matias looked shocked for a moment before chuckling and crossing his leg over the other.

"I'm very sorry ma'am if you misinterpreted the reason for me coming over here, when I was growing up I was taught you don't leave a lady to sit alone, especially with all this riff raft around with no one to pull on their leashes," he said. Sage felt herself tense as she realized he was right. She was alone in a house full of people who she didn't know and had a drunk girl sleeping on her, with no one to watch her back since Xander was still off who knows where.

"My apologies, my name is Sage," she said.

"So tell me , what is such a lovely woman doing here alone," he asked. Sage looked down as she heard Aja give a little snore.

"It's actually Mrs and my husband is around here somewhere," she said.

"Oh who is your husband, maybe I know him," Matias said leaning forward slightly in his chair.

"I'm not to sure about that sir, my husband is mostly seen in the….extreme sports profession," she said. Matias scrunched his face and shuddered.

"I see, trabajo peligroso (dangerous work), he said.

"Sí, pero puedes usarlo cuando estás casado con él (Yes, but you get used to it when you're married to it)," Sage said. Matias's eyes turned into the shape of saucers as he smiled and slapped his knee.

"Hablas español, pensé que escuché un acento (you speak spanish, I thought I heard an accent)," he said putting his thumb and index finger close together. Sage had been told that with certain words you could hear her Southern American heritage, it confused people to the point where they had to ask her where she was from.

"(yes)".

"¿Su marido habla español también (does your husband speak spanish as well)"? Sage shook her head.

"No sólo yo y mi abuela (no just me and my grandmother)". Matias nodded his head and smiled.

"Así que no eres totalmente negro si no te importa que pregunte (so you're not fully black if you don't mind me asking)"? It wasn't the first she had been asked so it wasn't a new question for her.

"No, soy medio Colombiano (No, I'm half Colombian)". Sage was starting to dread the thought of the next question he was going to ask her.

"Realmente de que lado (really what side)," Matias asked before Sage felt someone lean down and give her a peck on the cheek. Sage was about to raise her fist to punch the person but the thought quickly diminished when she saw the familiar smile that belonged to Xander. She gave him a smirk as he walked around to sit by here but paused when he saw the still sleeping Aja on her lap.

"Well at least you've been having fun while I was gone," Xander asked. Solomon soon came behind him, talking to a few of his men but paused when he looked past Sage and Xander and looked over at Matias.

"Dad, I didn't know that you were still here," Solomon said. Dad? Sage looked back over at Matias who was still seated. She could see the resemblance now. The same wavy hair and colored skin and strong jaw.

"Well Solomon since you left your wife here in the care of I thought I'd come and make sure she was alright and introduce myself," Matias said. Solomon chuckled nervously and looked down at the sleeping Aja on Sage's lap.

"Oh shit Sage, I'm sorry about her," he said walking around the couch to get to them. Sage waved her hand.

"No worries man she showed me a good time and I got to dance with Tommy Lee so I'm cool as a cucumber," Sage said then looking over at Matias. "And it seems like your dad was nice enough to come over and keep me company".

"And you must be her husband we were just talking about you, nice to meet you," Matias said extending his hand out to Xander who shook it.

"Xander Cage, I'm glad to see she wasn't alone, I was getting a little worried," Xander said finally sitting down and putting an arm around Sage and bringing her closer to him. MAtias smiled at the two of them as he leaned back in his seat.

"It's good to see a man take such care when it comes to his wife," he said before slowly looking over at Solomon. "It's a rarity to see it nowadays in this type of business". Sage looked between the two men and noticed how tense the air was getting, like there was a giant elephant in the room. Xander must of noticed it as well because he looked over at Sage and patted her on the arm.

"Well Solomon, Matias if you don't mind I think I'm going to get me and the missus home before the weirdos start coming out," he said standing up.

"Of course the lady needs her rest after taking care of Aja here the entire night," Matias said smiling. Sage had a feeling though that it was a jab meant to be thrown at Solomon as she watched his hands clench and unclench. She wondered if there was more behind this father, son relationship than what was being let on in front of her and Xander. This was something to look into another day though, she was tired.

Sage slowly pushed Aja off her lap and laid her on the couch. Aja gave a small smile in her sleep and snuggled into a pillow.

"It was nice to meet you Matias," she said smiling at him as she stood next to Xander. The old man smiled back at her and nodded his head.

"A pleasure a well , hopefully we meet again," he said. Sage nodded her head and looked over at Solomon who looked like he was deep in thought.

"Thanks for the invite Solomon, it was a great party," she said. Solomon snapped out of his thoughts and smiled as he waved to the two of them before Xander and Sage walked towards the door. They didn't notice though how Matias stared on at the back of Sage's head as they walked away.

"Tell me son, where does come from," Matias asked. Solomon looked back at the couple before looking at his father and shrugging.

"I'm not sure I never asked, I just heard her mom was from Kingston or something," he said.

"You let people into your house and spend time with your wife and you don't even know them, smart move," Matias said sarcastically. Solomon rolled his eyes as he went over to Aja and picked her up from the couch and leaned her against the back of it.

"You know I wouldn't do that, I've checked them out and they're good, they saved my life," Solomon said as Aja's head tilted to the side and Solomon caught her before she fell on her side. Matias looked over at his son before sighing and slowly raising himself from the chair.

"My son if there is one thing that I have learned with old age, it's that you can never truly trust anyone, no matter who they are," he said as he watched Xander and Sage head down the stairs.

"Alright, what happened to not separating from each other," Sage said as they got in the car and Xander started it. He pressed down on the gas and they were off into the off into the night. He smiled as he drove and looked at her in the corner of his eyes.

"Well this can be one of those moments where you can say you told me so," he said.

"Yea sure, so what happened in there," she asked.

"So Solomon made it clear that he pretty much doesn't trust any of his men after that whole club incident, told them that everyone was going to have to prove their loyalty to him," he said. Sage laughed and crossed her arms.

"So I guess you're on everyone's shitlist then," she said as he made a left turn.

"Nothing I can't handle but I did get a bug on one of their phones". Sage turned to him as much as she could in her seat belt.

"How the hell did you do that...or do I really want to know"?

"Ha ha ha very funny, the guy dropped it on the couch when Solomon made them go in for a team huddle".

"And he didn't notice"? Xander made another turn in the car.

"Not from what I saw, he actually went on the thing and called someone right after so probably not".

"Who is this dude"?

"I don't know but he seemed really friendly with Solomon and he mentioned that he was making money for Solomon the night all that shit went down, so I'm guessing he's a big dog". Sage nodded her head as she looked out the window at the night sky.

"But enough about my night, you have fun with the pampered princess," he asked. Sage rolled her eyes and sat back in her seat.

"I don't think I got anything really big but she told me dates and stuff about his schedule and we definitely know now that he was probably there or at least close by when those weapons were taken," she said.

"I'm surprised you're not shit faced right now, she looked out of it," he Xander said. Sage blew air out her cheeks and shook her head.

"Didn't I tell you I don't get shitfaced, besides that girl has so much baggage and now Papa ScarFace can hear all about it because I bugged the table," Sage said. Xander started to laugh at her comment but stopped when there was a ring in the car. What the hell, Sage thought to herself when she suddenly saw the dashboard of the car suddenly showed Gibbons face.

"Speak of the devil," Xander said as he looked on the road.

"Good work you two, whoever bugged that phone just got us some vital information, we know that they still have the weapons and they're contacting buyers," Gibbons said. Xander pumped his fist in the air in a silent victory.

"Buyers as in like an auction," Sage asked.

"It sounds like it, they said that things were getting hot and they needed to get rid of them fast," Gibbons said. Sage and Xander both looked at each other before Sage looked back at the screen.

"Maybe the black market then," Xander said.

"We thought that but for something like this, people are going to want to see what they're buying," Gibbons said.

"What does that mean," Sage asked.

"It means they're gonna want to see them in action," Xander said, tightening his grip on the wheel. He had already been subject to such a viewing when he saw the group Anarchy 99 test the weapon Silent Night on a group of scientist that had helped them make the weapon in the first place. Sage gasped as she thought about them using the weapons on the people of the island just to appease some buyer who would probably do something even worse.

"We gotta let the cops know," Sage said.

"For what, they couldn't even handle it when they were just doing what every other gang out there was doing," Xander said. Sage glared at him.

"So we're just supposed to sit here and let them kill people just to please some people, what are you going to do Gibbons send backup or something, we're not even supposed to be here in the police eyes only a handful knows we're if, if that," Sage said, her voice raising. Xander slammed his foor on the brake and turned his body to look Sage in the face.

"Listen baby girl, these are not ordinary dudes, from what I heard in that room, they have resources even out of Jamaica and if we don't do this right everything we've done so far could be fucked," he said getting in her face now, Sage didn't back down though and looked him straight in the eye as he spoke to her. They were in a fucked up situation, the police were corrupt and these thugs pretty much controlled the island. Unless more people were sent in they were sitting ducks waiting to see what happens.

"Sage, he's right, we need to find out more information before we can start making moves," Gibbons said. Sage turned her head and looked at the scarred man. She looked into his eyes to see if there was any lie but saw none. "I don't like it anymore than you do but these guys are very careful and we need to wait for them to mess up before just busting their operation".

"Fine, so what are we supposed to do until then," she asked as she turned in her seat and sat back in it.

"Keep doing what you're doing, we'll keep looking into the bugs that you all placed and see what we can hear, be careful though it doesn't sound like Solomon's dear old pop is completely convinced that you have good intentions with his son," Gibbons said before the screen went black and when Sage looked up and saw they were back at their house. She opened the door and walked to the door and slammed it open, not even bothering to close it.

This was bullshit, she thought to herself as she kicked her shoes off in a random direction as she walked up the stairs. They knew that they still had the weapons, they knew that they were going to sell them and even be tested and they expected two people to be just keep going on like nothing. Sage got to their room and angrily took out her Minnie mouse puffs (which is very painful if you have thick curly hair, believe me) and threw the rubber bands across the room.

She didn't even look as she heard Xander walk into the room and sit on the bed as she took of her dress roughly and threw it on the ground. She was now standing in a her velvet burgundy bra and matching gstring, not even caring that Xander was staring at her.

"You know this is some bullshit right," she said taking her earrings off.

"That's usually what comes with the job, a whole lot of bullshit," Xander said taking his shoes off.

"Well I didn't sign up for this shit, I didn't even sign up for this at all," she said throwing the earrings on the vanity countertop.

"I don't think anybody does when it comes to Gibbons," Xander said now taking off his shirt.

"All I wanted was to give the information I got and then go for a little vacation, but instead I get gangsters shooting at me, rich bitches sleeping on me this shit sucks," she yelled slamming her hands on the countertop. Xander slowly got up from the bed and walked behind Sage until his chest was pressed against her back. She could feel the warmth of his skin and blew shuddering breath out as he rubbed his hands down her arms.

"So you're telling me that every part of this thing so far has been bad," he asked as he turned her around and wrapped his arms her waist. Sage looked at his arms and looked at the many tattoos that decorated them. She wondered how good his parents looked to have created such a gorgeous man. He slowly bent his head down and placed small kisses on the base of her neck. It felt like he was trying make sure that he kissed every rose that was on her neck as he traveled up to her ear and gently nipped her earlobe. Sage thought if it wasn't the fact that he was holding her waist she would be falling to the ground.

"Well….not every part, I got to dance with Tommy Lee on stage," she said. Xander stopped his kisses and moved his head back to look at Sage with a confused look on his face.

"I'm here trying to make you feel better and you're thinking about some scrawny little rapper," he asked. Sage shrugged her shoulders and smirked at Xander and his confused look.

"There's something about a scrawny black Jamaican man with lots of tattoos that has stage presence that is really attractive," she said sarcastically. Xander quirked a eyebrow at her before letting his hands leave her waist and letting his hands move up to back of her head, where his thumbs rested on her checks. Sage didn't even need him to lead her as she leaned up as he lowered his head to meet her lips.

Sage went cut to the chase by slipping her tongue in Xander mouth, making him groan in her mouth. He gently pushed her against the vanity and trapped her against the vanity. Sage raised her hands from her sides and laid her hands on his bare back. She felt him bring her top lip in between his teeth as he gently nipped at her. Sage gasped, surprised and he pushed his tongue further in her mouth. Xander bent down, making sure that he kept his lips connected to hers grabbed behind her knees so fast that she quickly grabbed behind Xander's neck. As she held on tightly to him Xander's hands traveled to Sage's bare cheeks and gave them a good squeeze as he turned around and started walking towards the bed.

Ohh lordy there will be some steaminess, just to warn you guys. Hopefully the story gods can assist me on this one lol. Thanks for reading.
