Sabella had a hard decision to make with little to no time. She actually attempted to kill Paul, but she was sloppy about it. In the end, she chose him. The two of them spent one heck of a night together. If anyone saw the mess of the apartment, they would believe that. The two of them even slept on the floor under a blanket with them holding each other. It was hard to tell what mess was made from them fighting or from them loving. The two of them were waking up, not that it was easy for them to sleep on the floor.

"You okay?" Sabella asked.

"Stiff and sore." Paul groaned as he tried fixing up his body. "That was one hell of a night. I'm not complaining because the second half of last night was probably the greatest pleasure I had in a long time."

"I couldn't help it." Sabella said. "It was like the more I tried to hold back my love for you, the more it came bursting out. I had to kill you for my country, but I just couldn't do that." She claimed as she started kissing him and seemed ready to jump into another round. As hard as it was, Paul had to stop before it begun.

"Sabella, I'm not sure my body can handle this right now." Paul said. "We don't even have the time. We've got to meet with the others and find Goldberg with those weapons. Plus, we do need to talk. What was last night about?" Sabella felt so guilty about all of it, but he did deserve an explanation.

...

Sabastian

While Sabella and Paul were trying to get their relationship back on track, Sabastian was getting to work on getting his weapons back by any means necessary. He already has a plan to do just that, but he's still going to need his sister for it.

"I don't understand. Why not have me kill both of them right now?" Brutal questioned. "I could have taken both of them out right then and there. It surely would have been a way to go."

"Sabella has made her choice, and she will pay for her treachery." Sabastian claimed. "However, not while she could still be of use to us."

"What are you talking about?" Brutal said. "She's made it clear that she's going to side with Spider-Man rather than us. How do you plan to still use her? Blackmail? Torture? We already used that and it didn't work."

"We're just simply going to outsmart her." Sabastian said as he was already three steps ahead. "Sabella isn't aware yet that we have been watching her. Even if she does suspect it, we need her to believe we don't know anything yet. I know how he thinks, how she acts, and I can use that to our advantage. I have a way to find our weapons, but she is needed for it. She'll try to be a step ahead, but we'll be much further ahead."

"I think I get it." Brutal said. "We have her think she's outsmarting us, but we're really just playing her. So, what is it are you going to get her do? You said so yourself that she has to prove her loyalty by killing Spider-Man. Won't it look suspicious that you're giving her orders before she proves herself."

"Not if I tell her that this is a time sensitive matter." Sabastian claimed as it seemed like he's thought of everything.

"What about Spider-Man and his friends? They'll surely get in the way." Brutal said.

"That's what you're for." Sabastian said. "If they get in the way, kill them." He said as he walked past Brutal, and it sounded good to Brutal. "I will not allow them to get in the way this time." Sabastian isn't playing around this time. His country is at great risk and he will do what he must to save it.

...

Paul

Paul gave Lindsay and Thomas a call. All four of them met up on a building and told each other what was going on. Sabella came clean about what happened, and as shocking as it all was, they all understood why she did what she did.

"Let me get this straight. You had to kill Spider-Man to prove your loyalty to Symmkaria?" Lindsay questioned.

"Essentially, yes." Sabella said. "My brother says that Symmkaria is in great danger from our country's enemies. My brother wants me to help, but he doesn't believe I can be trusted. He believes I've let my feelings for Spider-Man cloud my judgement and turn my back on Symmkaria."

"Hence, why he used some "harsh" methods to try and convince you to go through with it." Paul said as he hated what Sabastian has done. "It's not fair he made you choose like that. You love your home country. You shouldn't have to sacrifice anything to prove that."

"Be that as it may, my brother has a point. Symmkaria needs those weapons." Sabella said as she was admitting her brother was right. "I love Symmkaria and I must do what I can to save it."

"Which is what we're going to do." Paul said.

"How?" Thomas questioned.

"I can talk to Monica. She might be able to get the word out of what's happening. Hopefully, that might start something that could really help Symmkaria." Paul said. "If we can also get those weapons before the police does, maybe we can help get them back to Symmkaria so they can defend themselves."

"Wait. We're NOT working with the police this time?" Lindsay said as she didn't like the sound of that.

"I already told Ray that Goldberg has a hand in this. The police are looking for him now." Thomas said.

"I know this sounds crazy, but we have to do something for Sabella." Paul said with Sabella touched that he would do all of this for her and her home. Lindsay and Thomas don't really like this, but it does sound like a small and innocent country is in great danger. Plus, if it means that Sabastian will get out of their city faster, they'll go for it.

"What's the plan?" Thomas questioned as they went with it.

"My brother sent me a set of instructions, which I find strange." Sabella said. "Surely, he knows I haven't passed my test yet. It's best we keep our guards up. The truth is that he knows who Spider-Man is under his mask. One can only assume that he knows who you two really are as well." That didn't sound good at all. They'll be going against one dangerous enemy if they go through with this.

"I know it sounds bad, but if we can get Sabastian those weapons AND he goes back to Symmkaria, maybe everything will be fine." Paul said. "As much as I hate him, and don't trust him, I'm not looking for a fight. Don't think I can at the moment." He said as he was still stretching out his stiff body.

"You okay?" Thomas asked.

"You heard of Fifty Shades of Gray? Last night, Sabella and I did Fifty Shades of Silver." Paul joked with Sabella slightly embarrassed.

"Okay... I do not need to hear any more than that." Thomas said as he got the pictured. "So, what does your psycho brother want you to do?"

"You told me that it was your enemy Goldberg behind this, but my brother found another lead." Sabella said as she showed a photo of a business man with tan skin and silver hair. "This is A. Abureddi. He's a politician who serves those who are attacking my country, but he has a bit of a dark side to him."

"You mean he's like one of those corrupt politicians?" Thomas said.

"We believe so. He's got connections and has made some illegal deals before." Sabella said. "Abureddi is actually hear in New York , staying at the Crystal Light Hotel, and might have a part in the thieving of Sable International's weapons."

"What about Goldberg? We saw him on security footage of where Sable International was keeping those weapons. How does he fit into any of this?" Thomas questioned.

"It's possible those two are partners." Lindsay said. "Sabella said he has connections and Goldberg does have some money. What we don't know is how they knew about the weapons in the first place."

"The only thing I can think of is that someone really is a traitor." Sabella said. "Abureddi must have someone on the inside."

"What does Sabastian want you to do?" Paul asked.

"In all honesty, he wants me to seduce Abureddi." Sabella casually claimed. "He wants me to get close enough to him to try and get information out of him, maybe even kill him."

"Should I be jealous?" Paul questioned.

"You and your brother have one serious complex relationship. What brother asks his sister to seduce someone like that?" Thomas said.

"Either way, it's a chance to get the weapons back." Sabella said. "My country needs assistance or it would be taken off the face of the map. If I can get close enough to Abureddi, it could lead us to the weapons, and possibly lead us Goldberg. Everyone gets what they want."

"I sure hope so." Paul said as he's hoping things do play out like that where they all get out of this.

...

Crystal Light Hotel

The Crystal Light Hotel is a five star hotel. Takes a lot of money to get in a place like that. You could tell just by looking at the guests that they had a lot of money on them The lobby had it's own bar and everything. Sabella walked inside and looking stunning with her wearing a strapless sparkling white dress with a slit on the left side and wore white heels. She also came walking in carrying a large case. Many couldn't take their eyes off her.

"Wow. I'm starting to see what the fuss is all about." Lindsay said as she walked in with her, but looked different. She just wore a casual black dress with her wearing a blonde wig and shades. "Do you really need to look that good or is this just a casual look for you?"

"I'm trying to get Abureddi's attention. I need to pull out all the stops for this." Sabella answered.

"Okay, but is the blonde wig needed? I know I'm here for backup, but why the disguise?" Lindsay asked.

"My brother's men could be watching, so we should probably stop talking." Sabella said as she just kept moving and went on with the mission.

...

Paul and Thomas

Meanwhile, Paul and Thomas waited outside the hotel in case the girls needed help. All they could do was wait and lay low until something happens because they can't let Goldberg know they're on to him or Sable International know they're getting involved.

"You okay with your girlfriend seducing another guy?" Thomas asked.

"No! Just don't really have a choice." Paul said. "Hopefully it doesn't escalate too far, but Sabella needs to do this. She wants to save her country while also not turning against us. Sabella is loyal, dedicated, and I know she's not going to do something crazy."

"Didn't she just try to kill you?" Thomas pointed out.

"Okay, you have a point there. The point is that I understand how important this is to her and I'm going to do everything I can to help her." Paul said.

"You really love her." Thomas claimed.

"Yeah." Paul said as he can't even think of how things would be without her. Sabella is everything and more to him.

"Heck, if you're lucky, she might do this to you, but you'll actually go all the way with her." Thomas joked.

"Oh, I have a feeling I don't need to be lucky." Paul humored with the two of them sharing a laugh. What neither of them knew was that they were already spotted by Brutal, and he was getting ready to attack.

...

Sabella

Sabella hung around the lobby until she spotted who she was looking for. She saw Abureddi at the bar and he wasn't alone either. It looked like that they were right because she saw Goldberg was there as well. The two of them were talking and it looked like it was a good talk.

"Guys, look like we were right." Lindsay said as she used her phone. "Goldberg is here and he's with Abureddi."

"Stay with Sabella. We'll take care of Goldberg when he walks out. He might lead us to where he's keeping the weapons." Paul said. Lindsay did just that and remained low. Sabella kept back until it was safe to move in. It soon was when the two of them shook hands and Goldberg left. When he was gone, Sabella went walked right in and took a seat right next to Abureddi.

"I'll take a St. Laurent." Sabella ordered so that Abureddi would notice her. It worked as he noticed her right away.

"A St. Laurent... That's a mix of class and elegance." Abureddi said.

"I agree. They say the whine is vibrant in Eastern Europe, but it's got such an enrich flavor to it." Sabella said. "Some say it might be sexier than most wines."

"A fitting drink for someone like you, if I might say." Abureddi said as he tried to play it cool, but regret what he said. "I'm sorry if that sounded creepy, but it's hard not to acknowledge a woman of your beauty."

"I didn't say I wasn't flattered." Sabella said as she was handed the whine and had a sip.

"Oh god... Even the way she drinks looks exotic. The girl has skill." Lindsay said as she was trying her best to be casual.

"If I may ask, what happened today that asks for such a piece?" Abureddi said.

"Nothing really. I just enjoy a good exotic taste." Sabella said. "I must also say that I like how direct you are. I do so like a direct man." It seems like things are going well. "I'm quite drawn to fancy, exotic, classy, and powerful tastes. Of course, that doesn't apply to just wine." Everything seems to be going well. Sabella's charm appears to be working with Abureddi. Everything appears to be going rather well so far. Sabella is starting to seduce Abureddi; and if things go well, everyone will get what they're looking for. However, things never go well.
