So first I would like to apologize that it took so long to get this out. I've been having a few health issues and it was messing me up to the point that I could hardly concentrate on even staying awake long enough to get a good chapter out. This was supposed to be the last chapter, but honestly there's too much that would go into it so I'm splitting it into two. Thanks for understanding and hope you likey

"It's dusty in here man,"Xander complained as they kept crawling in the vents. They had been at it for almost thirty minutes now and he was getting sick and tired of it, It was dark and dusty and it was getting hard to hold in his sneezes since the dust kept tickeling his nose. It was straight up bullshit, was what is was.

"Well, I can't change that it is a vent system, and keep it down with those sneezes. They probably have already figured out that we're gone," Solomon said stopping and looking down at his phone for the map. Xander scoffed and looked through a few gaps on the side of one of the vents, if they knew that him and Solomon were gone then they weren't making it very evident.

"I don't think so, everything seems cool as a cucumber down there, he said when he moved his face back and wiped his nose. Solomon looked up from his phone and quietly and quickly crawled over to where Xander was looking and quickly skimmed over the area to see Xander was right. Staff was still walking around like everything is normal, guards were doing their routine change.

"I told dad those guards were idiots, the one time I'm glad to know that I was right," Solomon said turning on his hands and knees and started crawling back in the original direction he was headed. "Come on, the armory is just a little bit away".

Xander turned on his hands and knees, ready to follow Solomon until he swore he heard Sage's name in the air. He quickly stopped in his tracks and looked back through the peepholes in the vent and saw that there were two of Solomon's old goons standing right below the vent, next to a small table that had some snacks on them.

"Man, I'm telling you old boss has that girl guarded like she's Chelsea Clinton," one of them said before taking a sip of his coffee.

"Can you believe the way she talked to him though, she's lucky that she's still alive I would've slapped the shit out of her," he said with a chuckle. With all the irritation and stress he was dealing with, Xander would've loved to kick this vent in over their heads and sock the guy in the jaw, but he stayed quiet and listened. Solomon, noticing that Xander was no longer behind him looked around the corner of the tunnel and rolled his eyes as he watched Xander sitting there.

"Hey we don't have ti-"!

Xander brought a finger to his mouth, telling Solomon to be quiet and cocked his head in the direction of the conversation. Solomon sighed and shook his head, but stayed.

"I feel worse for that X guy though," one of the guys said.

"What do you mean," the other asked. Xander heard the first guy snort as he drank from his drink and wiped his mouth before looking at his companion.

"Didn't you hear the old man, he says he's going to kill him after the deal goes down". Solomons eyes wided and Xander felt a deep frown form on his face, worried about what this could mean for Sage.

"Really, but he's cool"!

"Doesn't matter, boss looked into what he does for a living and says he'll be trouble. His ass should be in jail for all this shit pulled up on him. Car theft, blowing up shit, motherfucker even had a run in with the government before"!

It took Xander biting his bottom lip to keep the laugh as Solomon looked over at him in shock. There was no hiding that Xander of course had a past, what did Solomon think that the videos were just for shits and giggles. He was just glad to know that no one knew that he and Sage were working for the government and it was better that way. The quicker they got out of there and no one would find out..well until the last minute.

"I don't get it, if dude is just as bad as us, what's the big deal"?

"Boss says he has a big attitude and won't listen , I mean if this asshole is able to avoid the fucking government what you think he could do to us from the inside"?

Matias did have a good reason to be worried, Xander thought, I really could fuck this whole place up and not even break a sweat.

"Plus he's got that crazy bitch as a wife, I heard she made bombs just out of some liquor bottles and towels man! Boss wants her in, but thinks once hubby is out the way it may knock her down a few notches y'know...almost like taming a horse or some shit like that".

Tame Sage, yea sure like that'll ever happen!

"I don't know man, what if that bitch goes crazy on us, I heard she almost killed a group of big dudes while she wasn't even looking and was drunk...that's some crazy shit".

"Who knows, maybe she'll kill off the old man and be the next big thing….shit that'll be scary".

"Oh shit, we gotta go! It's our turn to watch the little ladies, let's go". With that Solomon and Xander were left there as the men went off towards their wives. Xander was surprised that Matias was willing to use Xander's death to try to control Sage. He had to admit, Sage was already crazy and that seemed to just be her personality. He couldn't bring himself to imagine her as some mindless deadly tool, but he already knew that it probably wouldn't happen. She'd probably just kill everyone that stood in her path.

"I didn't know he was planning all that X," Solomon whispered, catching Xander's attention. By just the shamed look on Solomon's face Xander could tell he was telling the truth.

"We don't have time for talk right now, we gotta get to those weapons and fast," Xander said. Solomon quickly nodded his head and turned on his hands and knees and started crawling in through the vents again.

Sage was pacing up and down the room, feeling on the walls, prodding at the floor. Honestly trying to find anyway out of the damn room. Aja sat on the bed, watching Sage bo back and forth down the room. After a good cry and a good hug, Sage decided that it was time to find a way out of the Hell hole they were in. That was easier said than done though, it seemed like Matias had thought of every way to get out and covered it up.

"Sage, maybe you should take a break from….what are you trying to do anyway," Aja asked.

"I'm trying to find a way out of here Aja," Sage said.

"We're in a giant fishbowl, I don't know how that going to happen," Aja muttered as she placed her head in her hands. "Besides aren't you tired, maybe we can talk-"

"Aja this is not the time to be having a segment of or Iyanla Vanzant Aja," Sage snapped at her as she stopped checking the walls for openings.

"Whose Iyanla Vanzant"?

"It doesn't matter who Iyanla Vanzant is! The point is we don't know what's waiting for us on the other side of this door! We don't know what Matias has all planned and I for one don't want to be here to find out! I want to find X, get the fuck out of here and-...wait, do you hear that," she suddenly asked. Aja looked around the room and shook her head, not knowing what Sage was talking about.

"Listen, I thought I heard running". Sage looked at the door that was the only way in and out of the room and looked down towards the opening at the bottom of the door. She quietly leaned down on the floor and saw the lights from under the door going in and out, like people running back and forth, She put her head by the door and tried to see if she could hear anything from the other side.

"They're just gone…..Solomon...Cage…...escape room….coming…...girls….on guard...shoot," was all Sage could make out, but it was enough to bring a smile back on her face. Xander was coming for her and it looked like Solomon was with him! Sage brought her head from the door and walked over to the bed.

"Did you hear anything," Aja whispered anxiously.

"Not much but enough to know that Xander and Solomon are out and about," Sage said.

"So they're safe" Aja assumed and bounced on the bed. Sage shook her head as she turned to look at the blonde with uncertainty. She didn't know how they were going to do it, but they had to get through an entire force of guards that Sage didn't even know the number of. She wouldn't call that safe.

"I don't know about that, but I think we're gonna be out of here soon". At least that was what Sage was hoping in her head. She had no idea how they would be pulling it off and for all she knew they could be escaping and leaving them behind. Sage tried to shove the doubt that was clouding her mind in the back of her mind, no they were coming for them and they were all going to get out of there!

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX With Xander XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Xander could hear the guards running up and down the hallways underneath them. He heard his and Solomon's names thrown in the air and it gave him a sense of urgency to find Sage and get them out of there, He could see it in Solomon to, the way he picked up speed when he first heard the guards running down the halls or when they heard some guards talking about doubling the guards on the girls room. They were two men on a mission, a possible suicide but a mission nonetheless.

"How much further Solomon,Xander asked, not even stopping as they crawled. Solomon lite up his phone and looked down at the map.

"It should be just right up ahead, just right around this corner," he said.

"We need to make this quick, in and out," Xander said.

"Don't worry I...shit," Solomon suddenly said. Xander didn't hear him even stop and was met with his cheek against Solomon's bum. He quickly scowled and backed up shaking his head. Solomon was just looking down at the gaps in the vent they were kneeling over.

"What's the fucking hold up, we need to move," he whispered angrily.

"We can't go any fucking further," Solomon snapped quietly. He turned to look back at Xander with a solemn look on his face and let out a groan as he let his hands through his hair. "My dad must;ve changed the some things around because there is no more vent leading to the armory, this is it".

Xander scooted himself over to the gaps in the vent and looked down. Below them were two bug guards standing in front of what looked like a large door. There was no one else there and the hallways seemed isolated, but looking was different than actually being and Xander didn't like those odds. He looked back up at Solomon and could tell by the weary and irritated look on his face that he was feeling the same way as him.

"What's the chances of us making it through," he asked quietly.

"That's hard to say because for all we know there's an extra set of guards waiting for us on the inside and considering that my dad keeps changing up shit on me and he knows we've escaped, who knows," Solomon said.

"I don't like those odds but since we're already in deep shit, I say we just go for it," Xander said with a light smile. Solomon stared wide eyed at Xander with his jaw dropping.

"You want us to just drop down on these guys like some fucking bats out of Hell and just hopes it goes ok," Solomon asked. Xander nodded as he looked through the gaps again.

"It sounds fucked up when you say it like that, but it'll probably be a little fun. Besides these guys don't look that tough," Xander said looking over the guards below them,

"It sounds fucked up because it is fucked up, it's a fucking fucked up plan. How are you even wrapping your head around the possibility that this is even gonna work," Solomon yelled at him in a whisper.

"Listen do you have any better ideas daddies boy? We can stay up here arguing with each other like a bunch of teenage girls, ot you can act like you have some balls and go down this damn vent with me a kick some ass like a man," Xander asked pointing below threm. Solomon looked between the vent and Xander before nodding his head and rolling up his sleeve. Xander nodded back and cracked his neck as he looked back down to make sure no one else was coming. It was exciting and Xander was more than thrilled to be able to blow off some steam on these guys.

"You sure about this," Solomon asked. As he put his hands on the the covering of the vent, ready to lift it. Xander crouched down and nodded.

"I do down first and you follow," he said. Solomon gave one more nod before counting to three and lifting the cover. Xander zipped down, feet first out of the vents and took a swing at the man closest to him. He heard a disgusting crack as his fist made contact with the man's nose and heard him groan as he fell to the floor and didn't get back up. Xander quickly turned around just in enough time to see the other guard pull the gun from his belt loop and pull it out to aim at him. Xander's eyes jetted around trying to figure out how he could dodge such a easy shot, when Solomon suddenly flew into the air and onto the guard.

The gun shot off as they fell to the floor and Xander could hear the bullet ricochet off of one of the walls into a unknown area. Solomon sat on the man's stomach and was able to struggle the gun away from him before raising it over his head and slapping him with it. Another sickening crack was heard and the man went limp with a groan of pain. Both Xander and Solomon sighed in relief as Solomon got up off the guard before the blaring sound of alarms sounded over their heads. They whipped their heads in every direction and looked at each other.

"The fuck is that," Xander asked. Solomon quickly started searching the guard he was over, checking his pockets and jackets.

"Someone must've heard the shot and sounded the alarm! We got to move, check his pockets and see if you can find a key, they'll be here soon," Solomon said. It only took them a few seconds before Xander found the key and quickly went to the door behind them to unlock it. Solomon kicked the door open to a room full of every weapon they would need if they were going to war. FMAS, AK-74's, M4 Carbines, the works! It was too bad that they only were two men.

"So I guess we're gonna have to walk right out of here and into some company huh," Xander said as he picked up Moosburg 500 and checked to see it was loaded. Solomon picked up a Desert Eagle and took the safety off and put it in his pants loop. They were men on a mission, grabbing all the guns they could hold and fit on them as quick as they could. Xander could already hear the running footsteps nearing the door and the shouts of men.

"No, we're gonna have to face them head on," Solomon said shaking his head. Xander chuckled as he rolled his neck in a circle and cracked it before rolling his shoulders.

"That's the shit I fucking live for," he said as he went to go look at an assault rifle. As he made his way over he saw that there was a clearing in the middle of the weapons. He walked further towards it and noticed that there was a table in the middle of all of it and on the table were three cases. They all looked like separate parts to a large rifle and there was one case that sat in front of all of them that showed that went together. Could this be what I think it is, he thought to himself as the light from the cases hit his face. He stood over them and noticed the mist that flowed in each container (as the container were clear) and each part of the rifle held a green liquid inside.

If that wasn't enough evidence for him, he was sure the writing in Japanese was the hammer that hit the nail. All this work for something that seemed so small and harmless, if you found heavy assault weapons harmless that is.

"Hey I blocked the door so that should- Holy shit"! Xander turned his head to look at the shocked expression on Solomon's face and that just verified it even more for him that he was right. "I can't believe he didn't listen to me"!

"So I guess this is the weapon," Xander asked. Solomon groaned as he covered his eyes with a hand and leaned against a wall.

"Yea it is….it was supposed to be put in a secure and protected area with it's own guards, but my dad seems to think that two guys are enough to protect a biological weapon". A sudden bang on the door made them both turn their heads towards the door and the realization of their situation hit them. "We need to get ready, that door won't hold them for long".

Xander looked over at the weapon on the table and made up his mind right there and then. He wasn't about to leave this shit hole without something that would keep Gibbons off his back. He grabbed each of the cases and started putting them in the large case. Luckily, there were straps on the back like a back pack. Solomon looked back at Xander and was shocked to see Xander putting the weapon on his back!

X, what are you doing man"! Xander walked past him and went and grabbed two gas mask off of the wall behind Solomon and threw him one. The wheels in his head were turning as he tried to come up with a plan that would get them blasted as they tried to get out of that room.

"If worse comes to worse, we're gonna need some leverage and I'm not going out like a fucking punk," Xander said as he put the case on his back. He walked over to a wall where he saw some gas and flash bombs and put his mask over his head and turned to Solomon.

"Put your mask on and follow my lead," he said. Solomon nodded and looked at the door where the banging was coming from and noticed the large dents that had already been made. It was going to give way at any second and they were running out of options.

"So, I guess you have a plan," he said as he put the mask over his head and got behind a shelf of guns and cocked his gun. Xander put his mask over his head and took of the pins out of both of them and let them roll forward and let the smoke start to feel the room.

"You could say that," Xander said with a smile. He crouched down by one of the shelves and waited. The door was cracked open now and he and Solomon could see both some of the angry faces from the crack. As soon as the cans from the gas bombs hit the door, Xander heard a large BOOM from the doors crashing open and could hear them men start to come forward.
