Sadie's POV

Before we could respond the guards were around us. Kyle and Anubis moved to block Set from me. "Grab them," Set says. "Bring them to my office." He starts to walk towards his office. "Oh, and someone might want to get Markus."

The guards grab us. We walk silently to Set's office. When we get there Markus and Set were both standing behind Sets desk. There were three chairs instead of the two. The guards set each one of us in the chairs. One of the guards had set all of Anubis's weapons on Set's desk.

"I got to say Anubis," Set says. "It sure took you less time than I thought to figure out where all the graves were."

"It wasn't that hard," Anubis says. "I knew where to find the people who knew the answers."

"I'm quite surprised you are here sooner than I thought. That was quite the accident you were in." Set says.

Images of Anubis knocked out and me screaming for him to wake up played across my mind. I shivered at the thought of that night. "You should've killed me in that accident. That's going to be your downfall."

"Look around son," Set says. "I have the upper hand here. You thought I wouldn't expect you to have a plan. To have Horus as your backup. I know where he is and he'll be joining us soon enough."

"Sir," A guard comes in. "He's gone. We sent some people over there. The computers were there. He was gone though."

"What do you mean he was gone?" Set says. "He can't be far. Go find him!" The guard rushes out the door. Set looks over at Anubis. "Where is he?"

"I don't know," Anubis says. "I told him not to tell me." Anubis leans back in his chair. "I knew you'd know. You've known my steps this whole time. I wanted to be ahead this time." Anubis reaches behind him and pulls out a gun. The two guards in the room point their guns at him.

Set held his hands out. "Son," He says. "Put the gun down."

"Anubis," I say. "What are you doing?"

Anubis quickly turns and shoots both of the guards behind us. Kyle and I both stand up and look at the guards and then at each other. Anubis was not here to play Set's games. He turned back to his father. "Don't think I won't do the same to you," Anubis says.

"Put the gun down," Markus finally says. Markus had pulled a gun out. "I will shoot the girl."

Anubis puts the gun on Sets desk. Set takes it and hands it to Markus. Set walks around. Anubis, Kyle, and I were all standing up. Set stops in front of Anubis. "You love Sadie," Set says. "That will be your downfall. The Kane family are no good. Ruby Kane was a good person. I loved her for that. Then Julius Kane came along. Ruby wanted to be with Julius even if it meant tossing her friendship with me aside. As soon as the mission is over what's going to happen Anubis? Sadie is going to live her life in New York. You are going to be back on more spy missions. I'm sure Sadie will find someone else and throw you to the side just like her mother did to me. I'm only helping you son getting rid of her, before she gets rid of you."

"Anubis," I say. "You know that's not true."

"Only yesterday she was kissing Kyle because she lost hope in you Anubis." Set says. "She's probably already moved on."

"If she rather be with Kyle," Anubis says. "That's her choice. I'm not going to let you kill her because of it. Her father and her brother are torn apart. They would do anything to have her returned to them."

"Julius knew this was coming," Set says. Set walks back towards me. "Sadie Kane," He says. "You do remind me of your mother. It's almost a shame I have to kill you."

I roll my eyes. I hated the idea of Set actually liking my mom. I also hated that I reminded him of her. He grabs my arm and pulls me into him. I was facing Anubis and Set was behind me with a knife by the front of my neck. I put my hands on his arm.

Anubis moved closer. "Please," He says. "Don't do this."

Anubis's brown eyes met mine. He was scared. I could tell. "Anubis," I say. "It's okay. I'll be okay."

Anubis looked confused. I stamped on Sets foot causing him to release his grip on me. I duck under his arm and walk towards Anubis. He puts his arm around me and pulls me close to him. He looked at my neck to make sure the knife didn't cause any harm. Set looked at us with the knife in his hand. Anubis lets me go and pushes me behind him. He pulled out another gun and pointed it at Set. "It's over, dad." Anubis says. "Horus called the police and they are on there way to take care of you once and for all."

"Drop the gun!" Markus yells. "I won't ask again."

Anubis turns toward Markus. Markus had his gun pointed at me. He gets impatient and fires the gun. I close my eyes preparing for the hit and I hear a second shot go off. I open my eyes and see Kyle on the ground. There was blood coming from his chest. I drop to my knees and try to stop the bleeding. "Sadie," Kyle says. "Go with Anubis."

"No," I say. "I can't leave you."

I look over. Markus had been shot in the arm. Anubis hit him in the head to knock him out. Anubis turned Set. He shot him in the leg. Set falls to the ground. Anubis walks up to Set. "You're going to pay for everything that you did." Anubis knocks him out too. I sit by Kyle. I look down and he was gone.

"Anubis," I say. "He's gone."

Anubis looks at Kyle's body. "I'm sorry Sadie," He says. "He jumped in front of you."

Anubis stood behind me. I lean back and he kneels down and hugs me from behind. I put my head on his chest. I stared at Kyle's dead body. "I promised him he'd get out of this place." I say. "I failed him."

"Sadie," Anubis says. "You didn't fail him. He's free now. He's in a better place."

We sit there until the police come. Once they come in, they guide me and Anubis out of the building. I sat in the ambulance with the paramedic while Anubis talks to the police. I watch as Set and Markus get put into the police car. I turned my attention back to Anubis. I had forgotten how handsome he was. The last time I saw him I thought he was dead. I remember seeing his unconscious body in the upside-down car with blood running down his head. He looked at me and smiled. Him and the police finish up their conversation and he heads over to me.

"How is she?" He asks the paramedic.

"She's fine," He says. "Besides the bruise on her eye, she's fine. She might be in a little shock due to watching her friend die. She also could use some sleep."

"Thank you," Anubis says. "Are we free to go?"

"Yes," The paramedic says. "As long as the police are done with you."

"Thank you," I say.

Anubis and I walk over to a guy his age. He was standing by a car. "Sadie Kane," He says. "I'm Horus Matthews."

"Hi," I say.

"Let's get back to the hotel," Anubis says.

Horus gets in the driver's seat, Anubis in the passenger, and I take the back seat. I stare out the window. It must've been 4am. I was exhausted. I closed my eyes and fell asleep.

Anubis's POV

I look back and see Sadie asleep. "How is she?" Horus asks.

"Alright," I say. "She was a bit shaken up about Kyle. I didn't know he was going to throw himself in front of Sadie. I was about to do that myself."

"I guess she made quite an impression on him," Horus says.

"Yeah," I say. "I'm just glad we have her back and she's safe. Once we get her to the hotel, I'll make sure she gets rest. I'll call Julius."

We get to the hotel. I get out and I open the back door of the car. "Sadie," I put a hand on her arm. "We're here." She moved slightly but I knew she wasn't going to move. I take her seatbelt off and pick her up. Horus holds the doors to go in from the parking garage. We get in the elevator and go to our floor. Once we get her in my room, I set her on the bed. I take off her boots and put them on the floor next to her before putting the sheets over her.

Horus had gone to his room. I go into the bathroom and take a shower. Once I was showered, I put on some sweatpants and call Julius.

"Hello," He says.

"Hello Mr. Kane," I say. "It's me Anubis. I found your daughter. She's safe. Set is in police custody."

"How is she?" Julius asks. "Can I talk to her?"

I look over at Sadie who was sleeping. "She's sleeping right now," I say. "I can have her call you when she wakes up."

"Have her call Carter," Julius says. "He needs to hear from her more than me."

"Sure," I say. "I will bring her to you as soon as she rests. She had to watch someone die for her so she's a little shaken."

"Thank you," Julius says. "Anubis, thank you."

"It's no problem," I say.

"Talk to you when you get here with her," Julius says. "Bye."

"Bye," I say. He hangs up. I finish up a couple of things I notice Sadie moving a lot. She was having a nightmare. I walk over to her. "Sadie," I say. "Your fine, it's safe." Her eyes open. She looked around. Her eyes meet mine. Her deep blue eyes were full of panic but she calmed down once she looked into my eyes.

"Sorry," She says.

"It's fine," I say. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah," she says. "I was reliving Kyle's death."

"Kyle was a good person," I say. "He didn't deserve what happened to him. You should get some rest. I'm going to be next door with Horus."

"Wait," She says. "Please stay."

"Are you sure?" I ask.

"Yeah," She says. She looks down at her shirt. "Can I borrow something not covered in blood?"

"Sure," I say. I get up and find a shirt. I hand it to her. I lay down while she goes to the bathroom to change. She comes back out and lays down. She snuggles up into my chest. I wrap my arm around her. I hold her until she falls asleep. Eventually, I fall asleep with Sadie in my arms. I had her and she was safe. Alive.

I wake up and Sadie was over by the window sitting in the chair. She was on the phone. I looked at the time it was around 2pm. I get up and go to the bathroom. I change into jeans, t-shirt, and my boots. I come out and Sadie was no longer on the phone.

"Hey," She smiles. "I was just on the phone with Carter."

"Was he happy to hear from you?" I ask.

"Yes," she says. "He was. He also told me that he met you."

"I had to visit them," I say. "I was looking for you."

"I saw all those bruises and cuts on your chest," She says. "Accident?"

"Yeah," I say. Sadie puts her hands on my chest and leans up to kiss me. I kiss her back quickly before she pulls away. "What was that for?" I ask.

"Coming back for me," Sadie says. "You didn't have to do that."

"I did it because it was my mission," I say. "To get you to your father."

"Oh," She says. I could tell she was disappointed.

"I also did it because I'm in love with you." I say. I put my arms around her waist.

Her eyes lit up. "Really?"

I leaned in and kissed Sadie. She put her arms around my neck and kissed me back. "I love you Sadie," I say.

"I love you, Anubis," She puts her head on my chest.

"Time to get you home," I say.

I pack up all the stuff I had. Sadie kept my shirt since all she had was what she was wearing. She tucked the shirt into her shorts and threw her leather jacket on over it. She had thrown her boots on. I had given her necklace back so she was also wearing that. We then meet Horus at the car. We drive for a few hours before we get to the Brooklyn mansion. Once we get there I get out and I open Sadie's door. Julius, Carter, and Amos were at the doors. Sadie see them and runs up the steps. Julius hugged her and kissed her head. Amos hugged her and ruffled her hair. Carter hugged her and she kissed him on the cheek. I watch as they all talk. She looks over at Horus and I. She gestures for us to come up to her. We do.

"Thank you," Julius says. He put an arm around Sadie. "For bringing my daughter back to me. I don't know how to repay you for what you two have done for me."

"It's fine," I say. "I'm glad to know she's safe."

Sadie moves from Julius and goes over to her brother. "Anubis," Julius says. "Do you have a minute?"

"Yes," I say.

We walk a little way away. "Thank you," Julius says. "I misjudged you because of Set. You're nothing like him."

"I try not to be," I say. I looked over at Sadie who was laughing at her brother.

"You have my permission," Julius says.

"Permission?" I ask.

"To date her," Julius says. "You've proven to me that you can keep her safe if she needs it. Not that she really needs it. She's independent, brave, and strong. Just like her mother was."

"I love her more than anything," I say. "I won't hurt her. I promise."

Julius heads back over. Amos and Julius went inside. After a moment Carter also heads in. Horus heads back to the car. I was alone with Sadie. "Are you leaving?

"Yeah, back to California. I have to complete my mission, pack my things, quit my job." I explain.

"What? Why?" She asks.

"I think my spy days are over," I say. "Set has been taken down. I also don't have a reason to stay in California. When the girl I love is all the way in New York. I'm going to move here. Maybe apply for the police department."

"You'd seriously leave California to come here for me?" She asks.

"Yes," I say. "I haven't been able to let people in my life without having to worry about Set killing them off. Now, I don't have to worry about it."

She kisses me. I kiss her back. "Don't be gone too long," She says.

"I'll be back in about a week," I say. "I promise."

She kisses me one more time. I turn and head towards the car. I turn around once I got to the car and waved to Sadie. She waves back then heads inside. One more week apart. Then I'll be back to be with Sadie. I went into this mission to destroy my dad. I came out falling in love with Sadie Kane.

Well, here's the end of another story. Don't worry, I won't be gone long. I have three more-chapter story ideas, I'm thinking about writing another one-shot. I'm also thinking about writing a one-shot sequel to Rough Day. If you haven't read my other Sadie and Anubis stories, you know were to find them. I want to take a moment to thank some of you reviewers. I picked out a few of the reviews that stuck out and I wanted to respond to them.
