Just to let you guys know this is a looooooong chapter, so be warned!

The guards didn't even see it coming. When the first wave came in, they were caught off guard by by the gas that was suddenly surrounding and started coughing and Xander could see tears were running down their eyes. Xander looked over his shoulder at Solomon, who looked back at him and nodded, Xander looked forward and got up enough from his crouched position to take aim at the first pair of legs he could see through the gas.

He heard someone yell out and took another shot and soon the room was full of gun fire, coming from in and out the room. Xander raised his hand and waved it, telling Solomon to follow him and slowly started moving towards the door. Two shocked faces appeared in front of Xander and before they had time to raise their guns, Xander whipped his gun up and whipped it across their faces. One fell with a grunt and before the other could reach for his gun as he kneeled on the floor, Xander kicked out the leg he was kneeling on and his him in the nose with the butt of his gun.

Xander raised his gun and shot at more men he saw coming and could hear the bullets from Solomon's gun whizzing behind him from Solomon's gun. A man charged at Xander and before he could raise a hand to punch him in the face, the man fell to the ground and Xander turned around and saw Solomon pointing the gun where the man just was. Xander nodded his head in thanks and Solomon nodded back before dodging a bullet that came towards his head. Zander could see the smoke was starting to clear up and he grabbed Solomon and dragged them down to hide behind a shelf as more bullets started to fill the air.

"We're not gonna last long like this man," he said trying to get a look around the shelfs corner but whipped his head back in enough time to miss the bullet that came inches within hitting his head.

"Well we're fucking stuck what do you expect-"

Xander put a finger up to his mouth and nodded his head in the direction of the door, where he could hear the remainder of the unknown number of men walking forward. He looked under the shelf the were hiding by and saw multiple pairs of feet scampering in the room, carefully stepping over the dead bodies of their comrades. Xander then remembered that he had the deadliest weapon on his back and took it of and sat it in his lap.

"So what would happen if I this thing was to get shot up," he asked with a small smile on his face. Solomon's eyes widened and he looked from the container in Xander's hand to his face,

"Xander, please don't tell me-"

"I'm just asking Solomon". Solomon swallowed the lump in his throat and leaned back against the shelf and wiped his brow.

"We'd probably be dead in a matter of seconds since the chemicals aren't mixed correctly," he said. This brought a smile to Xander's face to much of Solomon's shock and surprise.

"Ans do those guys know that," he then asked.

"I would fucking hope so, we let everyone know that they'd be dead meat if anything happened to that thing around them," Solomon said

"Great, I have a plan. I want you to walk out there with this and surrender to them".

"I beg you fucking pardon"?

"I want you to go out with this and surrender and we really don't have time to talk about this since they're coming for us".

"We had a deal X"!

"And that deal is still on, don't worry I got you".

"You got me!? Are you insane"?

"As far as we know, daddy doesn't want you dead so they're not going to shoot you. Don't worry I have a plan".

Solomon looked behind him through the crack in the shelf and could see through the clearing smoke that the men were coming closer. He sighed and then looked back at Xander who had a smirk on his face, like he knew he was going to win this fight. Solomon let out a low growl and snatched the case out of Xander's already extended hand. Before standing up, he took the phone out of his pocket and put it in Xander's hand.

"If this doesn't work, you're going to get Sage and Aja out of here, you hear me? Get them out of here and get them on that boat…...and tell Aja that I'm sorry for not being a better husband".

Xander looked seriously at Solomon now and stood up and raised his hand to put a strong grip on his "brother-in-law's" shoulder and looked him in the eye.

"I got you," he said to him. Solomon took one more hard look at him before walking out with his hands up.

"Hey don't shoot, I was a hostage," Xander heard Solomon yell. Xander had to work fast, he took out a few small bombs that he had picked up. V40's small but handy and something he needed right about now. It had enough bang to mess up the guys out there but he had to make sure he threw it far enough to where it wouldn't hit Solomon.

"Solomon sir, we need you to out the case down if that's what I think it is," someone said in a deep Jamaican accent.

"I can't do that man," Solomon said with his hands still in the air. Xander could see through the crack now that the gas was clear, that there were about ten men. The rest that looked like about dead on the ground. All the men standing looked at each other with their guns still aimed at Solomon and then looked back at him.

"Sir, you need to put the vase down" a another voice said. They took a step closer to Solomon and Xander took out one more bombs and silently moved from his position and teo more shelves closer to the door.

"And I told you I can't do that," Solomon said with his hands still raised. Xander kneeled down to the floor and saw that there was enough space to roll the bombs in the two corners that the group had left open. If he just rolled them far enough, he could avoid hitting Solomon. Thank God he was a good bowler.

"Where is he," someone asked Solomon, he said nothing. Xander quickly took the pins off of both of the bombs and as silently and as fast as he could he rolled them from o under the shelves and onto the two corners. They were so focused on Solomon they didn't even notice.

"I'm gonna ask one more time where's- wait what the fuck is-. OH SHIT RU-"

"SOLOMON DUCK"! Xander saw Solomon jump back into the room in enough time to avoid most of the impact of the small bombs, They weren't the deadliest, but close enough they could do some serious damage. Xander ran from his hiding spot and quickly ran to collect the shocked Solomon and brought him to his feet and started running. Alarms were blaring all over now and sprinklers were starting to rain down on them.

"You almost blew me up," Solomon yelled, his ears must've been ringing and it wouldn't surprise Xander.

"Yea we can talk about it later," Xander said.

"What, I can't hear," Solomon said, running on his own now with the weapon still in his hand.

"Just run," Xander yelled as they ran down the hall.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxWith Sagexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sage and Aja covered their ears as the alarms starting blaring in the room.

"What was that," Aja yelled over the alarm.

"It sounded like an explosion or something," Sage said. Aja let out a sob and started rocking back and forth where she sat,

"Oh my God, we're gonna die," She said. Sage took her hands down from her ears and marched over to Aja, grabbed her by her shoulders and brought her hand back to bring it to Aja's cheek. Aja let out a yelp and held her cheek as she look up at Sage with teary eyes. Sage sighed and brought herself down to Aja's level as she held onto her shoulders.

"Aja, we are not going to die, not today and not in this room," she said shaking the blond with each word. "But if you don't want to die you're going to have to help me get out of here so we can have a fighting chance. Do you understand"?

Aja whimpered a little but quickly sniffed and wiped the tears that were threatening to fall from her eyes and brushed her blonde hair out of her face.

"Wh-what do you need me to do," she asked quietly. Sage gave her a small smile and nodded her head towards the door.

"I want you to see if the guards are still out there and if they are I want you to tell them that I passed out and need help".

"What, but Sage-"

"Aja, more doing and less questions please," Sage said rolling her eyes. Aja quickly nodded her head and got up from where she was sitting and brushed herself off and made her way to the door. Sage quickly went over to the desk and took the chair and raised it. Aja looked over her with an unsure look, but opened the door when Sage gave her a nod.

"Oh my God, she's passed out please help," Aja yelled. When the first man came thundering through the door, Sage brought the chair hard down on his back and he fell hard to the ground only leaving her ieht one unbroken chair leg in her hand. Aja screamed as the other guard charged towards Sage. Sage threw the chair leg like a lance at the guards face, hitting in the chin and stopping him from his charge. Before he could recuperate, Sage kicked her leg hard straight into his chest, making him fall back into the door and breaking it off the hinges, he didn't get up off the ground.

"Grab their guns," Sage said lowering to the ground and taking one of the guards guns out of his holster and seeing if is was loaded.

"Wh-what," Aja asked.

"When you kick your captors ass and you don't have a weapon, you take theirs. Work with me Aja, we need to be on the same page.

"Ok, ok take the weapon," Aja said breathlessly as she looked at the mans face as she took his gun.

"And check if it's loaded, always check if it's loaded" Sage felt like she sounded like she was some kindergarten school teacher. Aja nodded her head and with a few whimpers she took the barrel out and showed Sage. Luckily, was just a standard 9MM, nothing too fancy. Sage then walked over to Aja and put her hands on her shoulders and made sure the blonde was looking her in the eye.

"Now listen to me Aja, when we go out there you don't move unless I move. You're going to be my cover, so you're going to be watching my back while I watch our front. Anything that moves you shoot it ok"?

Aja whimpered some more and started trembling under Sage's hands and started shaking her head.

"Sage I can't do it, I'm not like you-"

"You are like me because you want to live and see your husband again, just like I do. Right"? Sage knew Aja was scared, honestly she was a little uncertain herself and that usually never happened. For once, she had no idea how this was going to turn out. Aja then started crying and leaned her head against Sage's shoulder. Sage sighed and put her arms around the girl and patted the top of her head.

"The last thing I said to Solomon was…..that he fucked up everything he touched. Oh Sage what if that's the last thing I ever say to him? What if we don't find them," she asked frantically. Sage pulled Aja's head back from her shoulder and wiped her face.

"I'm not going to let that be the last thing you say to him Aj, but if you want that to happen then you have to do as I say. Can you do that for me"?

Aja nodded her head after a few sniffs and wiped her nose.

"Good now take off your belt. I'm gonna tie us together so we don't separate".

"I move when you move," Aja whispered as she took off her belt and handed it to Sage. Sage took the belt and wrapped one elnd through Aja's belt loop and then tied the other around one of the strings on her sweatpants.

"That's right," Sage gave the belt one more good tug to make sure it was tight enough and took the gun out of Aja's hand and took the safety and handed back to her. "Shoot anything that moves and keep your eyes open".

Aja gulped, but nodded her head and gave a determined look. Sage patted her on the shoulder and then walked forward, making Aja slowly walk backwards following her. Besides the alarm still going off it was quiet. She ducked back inside the doorway when a group holding guns ran past them. When they gone Sage looked down both of the hallways leading to the room and when she saw the coast was clear, she walked her and Aja out of the room, hoping they didn't meet up with more trouble they can handle.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxWith Xanderxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Xander and Solomon ran as fast as they could, trying to ignore the sounds of yelling and the alarms, and shooting at anyone that got in their way. Solomon had been directing them the entire time, hardly taking his eyes off the map on his phone as Xander kept his gun up and senese high. Suddenly they stopped at a door and Solomon's mouth hung open. The door had been ripped of the hinges and there were two men laying on the floor unconscious, Both were badly bruised and there were pieces of a broken chair all over the floor.

"This is where the girls were supposed," Solomon whispered falling to his knees and palming his face in both his hands. Xander growled and stomped over to one of the guards and slapped his face hard, he woke up with a yelp and looked terrified as he looked at Xander.

"Where were the girls you were guarding huh, where the fuck did they go," Xander yelled shaking the guard as he spoke.

"The-e black girl knocked me out….don't know..where," he said drifting off into some unaudiable words Xander couldn't understand. Xander smiled, at a girl Sage he thought to himself. He knew she wasn't going to just wait like some damsel in distress. He looked down at the guard and punched him square in the face, putting him back to sleep. He noticed that the guy didn't have a gun on him, strange for a guard. He went over to the other guard and noticed that he didn't either, Sage and Aja must've taken the guns. Which means they felt they needed to arm themselves. He walked over to Solomon and dragged him to his feet by his shoulder.

"We need to go the girls are on the move," he said as he started walking. Solomon quickly picked up his pace so he was next to Xander and stopped him.

"Wait, how would you know that, what did the guard said," he asked.

"The guy said a black girl knocked him out, wouldn't surprise me if she messed the other guy uo too and wasn't that long ago because bruises are starting to form," Xander said as he started walking again. Solomon stopped him again and Xander groaned in irritation and glared daggers at the other man. Didn't he realize they needed to hurry up and get going?

"How are you not fucking freaking out right now," he almost yelled. Xander snatched his shoulder out of Solomon's grip and pointed down the hallway they were going down.

"They had no guns on them, which probably means that the girls have them and if we haven't passed into them yet and it probably means they haven't been caught yet because everyone is looking for us and the guards were too fucked up to even know where they went, so we need to cut the chit chat and get moving before they realize they are gone".

Xander was running now with Solomon soon behind him. They had made enough distance between them and the guards so he wasn't worried about what was behind them, but he was worried about who may be in front of the girls.

"I'm worried about Aja, she doesn't know how to shoot that well," Solomon said. They stopped and looked around a corner before running again. Hopefully they were going the right way.

"She's with Sage, she's probably in the safest hands right now," Xander said. They had ran about about food half a mile before suddenly a loud bang rang out and Solomon fell to the floor holding onto his now bloody shoulder. Xander fired some shots back, not knowing what he was really aiming at as he dragged Solomon behind a corner to try to give them some cover. He tried to control his breathing as he tried to look around the corner. He looked down at Solomon and moved his hand away to see he had been hit in the shoulder, he would live.

"Oh my God Sage, I shot someone, I shot someone! What if they're dead!? What if I killed him, a voice rang out in hysterics. Wait a minute he recognized that voice

"Aj, pull yourself together, this is not the time to be freaking out. It's either them or us and we don't have time to be worrying about some guard who was probably going to do the same to us," a hushed voice said to the other. Sage! Xander didn't even think twice and stood up from his hiding spot , though he soon realized when the small black women stood as well and pointed her gun straight at his head. Aja, who was connected to Sage by a belt that connected them, slide behind Sage on her side and with shaky hands pointed the gun at Xander.

"Wait wait, it's me, don't fucking shoot," he yelled with his hands out in front of him, When both of the girls realized who it was ,Aja dropped her gun and let out a dramatic sigh as Sage untied the belt on her sweats, not taking her eyes off Xander. Xander stridded over to her in just a few steps and didn't even give Sage time to react as her wrapped his arms around her and pinned her against his chest and swooped down and let their lips connect. Sage didn't waste anytime responding and pulled the large man closer as she let him-

"Hello, I just got shot here and I could use some fucking help X," Solomon's voice rang out, making the two stop and look over at his unamused face. Aja picked her head up and scrambled to her feet and ran over to the corner where Solomon was leaning against and screamed.

"Oh my God, I killed my husband," she said as she threw herself on top of him. She kissed all over his face and cried even more as she saw the blood pouring from his shoulder. "Oh baby I'm so sorry, I didn't know it was you".

"You shot me…..you gotta be fucking kidding me, my dad is going crazy and now my wife is shooting me. I need a damn vacation after all this," Solomon said hugging Aja to him and leaning his head on top of hers and she cried in his uninjured shoulder. Sage chuckled a little as she kept her hold on Xander.

"Sorry Solomon, if it makes you feel any better I told her to shoot anything that moved," she said. He rolled his eyes and kissed Aja on the top of her head as she kept whispering 'I'm sorry' into his neck.

"Great work babe," he said making her sobe even more. Sage looked back over at Xander and nodded her head towards Solomon.

"So is this what took you so long, having playtime," she asked. Xander chuckled and leaned down to peck Sage on the lips.

"He's on our side now, has a boat to get us off of this island and a getaway vehicle. We've been playing cat and mouse with his goons for who knows how long just to find you guys," Xander said.

"So that explosion was you," Aja asked. Solomon got up from the ground and groaned.

"Yea, we had to get some stuff before we tried getting to you," Xander said. Sage gave Solomon a hard look and nodded her head at him.

"How do we know that he isn't in on this whole thing and isn't still working for his daddy," she asked. Solomon scoffed and shook his head.

"Hey he's your daddy too so shut up, I just risked my life getting almost blown to hell by your crazy husband and you just had my wife almost blow my head off".

"I told her to shoot anything that moved," Sage argued with a casual shrug.

"It doesn't matter, stop being such a bitch for a few minutes and see I'm on your side"!

"Hey," Xander yelled, stepping in between them and getting both of their attention. "If both of you would shut up you could hear that shit".

Both tilted their heads and eyes widened as they heard the sounds of running footsteps coming their way.

"Shit, they must've heard the shot and Aja screaming," Sage said. Aja whimpered and lowered her head.

"I'm sorry," she said quietly. Xander quickly handed Sage another gun from the ones he and Solomon collected and Sage shook her head at the blonde.

"It's not your fault Aj, but we can talk about that later….so Solomon are you going to get us the fuck out of here or are we going to stand her all day," She asked. Solomon ripped a piece of his shirt and tied it around the wound on his shoulder and looked down at Sage.

"You trust you big brother," hge asked. She took the second gun off safety and rolled her head across her shoulders.

"Does it look like I have a damn choice," she asked.

"Not fucking much, let's move," Xander said and they were all off running. They sprinted fow the hallways, not looking back as they heard the footsteps get louder and they heard the sound of voices yelling.

"How much further Solomon," Xander asked, it seemed like the further they ran, the less and less places there were to escape.

"Just up ahead, there's an emergency exit that I put in just in case," he said pointing a head of them. When they finally came to a large door that didn't look like the rest the had passed by. It was brown and nicely carved and had a gold knob, as soon as they got close enough Xander didn't even bother trying to use it. He raised his foot and slammed it against the door, breaking it open, thinking they were finally home sweet home…..or so they thought. The thoughts of freedom quickly escaped all of them and their smiles dropped as they looked into the room and was met with what looked like a meeting at a large table and at the head of that table was Matias.

He was surrounded by a large group of men wearing fancy suits and were all looking back at them. They just couldn't get a break, Xander thought to himself as he looked over at Solomon's shocked expression, Aja's scared on and Sage's expressionless one. Matias stood up from his seats and soon at the men at the table had guns pointing at their direction.

"Solomon….how could you," he asked. The thunderous sound of running footsteps was soon behind them and Xander looked over his shoulder to see a group of maybe thirty men running towards them, shit.

"This is what you do, you betray me your own father," Matias yelled taking out his own gun.

"You want to talk about betrayal, how about we talk about how you plan on screwing all these old geezers out of their money and taking the profits for yourself," Solomon yelled across the room. The room was soon full of mummering and and eyes were turning from the group to the old man who didn't seemed phased at all.

"That is not the point I am your father, how could you do this," he asked.

"What is the meaning of this Matias," a Japanese man asked, Matias didn't hesitate to raise his gun and shoot the man in the head, splattering blood on an Italian man's face and making Aja scream in terror.

"I'm tired of playing around with you, you little spoiled shit. I give you everything and you do this to me"? HIs eyes burned onto Sage and Xander moved protectively in front of her.

"Who the fuck says we're playing around with you, it's over Matias, you might as well give up now," he said. Matias chuckled and shook his head.

"Why don't you keep your mouth shut you punk-"

"No why don't you before I decide that we all fucking go down," Xander yelled taking the case of his back and raising it in the air. Matias's face paled for a moment before it was filled with rage as he looked a the case in Xander's hand. Sage's eyes drifted up to Xander's hand and her eyes widened.

"Please don't tell me that's what I think it is," she said.

"It is," Solomon said not tearing his eyes off his father.

"You've been running around with a biological weapon on your fucking back this entire time, have you lost your fucking mind," Sage yelled looking back over at Xander.

"Not as crazy as he is if he thinks he's gonna win this," Xander said. The sound of laughter turned everyone's attention back to Matias as he kept on laughing as he sat down and tapped the table with his gun.

"You think you've won boy, go ahead and do it, or give it to me and I'll do it for you". Sage leaned over to Solomon and asked him

"Solomon, is he being for real"?

"I've never known my dad to ever joke," he said not really sure himself. Well...that was not how the plan was supposed to go, Xander thought as he tried to keep a calm demeanor. This old man was bluffing right? Even the men at the table and the men behind them seemed to not really be sure as they all stood there stunned and silent

"I have nothing to lose, we can all die here together! Take all of Jamaica with us and the rest of the world," Matias said. Xander could see the men at the table start to mummer amongst themselves and a few tired to get up from the table. "NONE OF YOU FUCKING MOVE, YOU KNEW WHAT YOU WERE GETTING INTO"," he roared around the table. Xander could tell now that the old man wasn't kidding or joking around. There was a look in his eyes that told Xander he wasn't playing around. For whatever reason, he was ready to die and to take everyone with him, He looked over at Sage and by the dark look over her face, she knew it to. This was not what he was planning on, his plan had completely backfired and unless the damn door was going to magically appear they were really in a bind. Sage looked over at Xander from the corner of her eye and for was shocked to see a bit of fear in them, He felt a pang of guilt in his heart, wanting to reach over and grab her to him so he could comfort her, but knew this wasn't the time to be showing any weakness.

"He's insane," someone yelled. Two men got up from the table and pointed their guns at Matias's head, when his guards made to reach for their guns he raised a hand stopping them.

"The deals off Matias, I'd rather the weapon back in the American's, the Japanese or who fuck ever hands before you blow us all the fuck away," a man with a Russian accent said, taking the safety of his gun off. Matias just smiled at looked over at the man.

"You touch me and your entire family is dead. I have men posted at your all houses ready to blow them to hell if anything is to happen to me". All the men at the table gasped and a few gun's fell to their sides. All the while, no one noticed or heard the extra set of footsteps coming up behind everyone. Sage forward in Xander's ear

"X, maybe this is a good time to be running," she said.

"Sage as much as I agree, the door is right behind my dad," Solomon butted in. Xander and Sage looked over at Solomon, wanting him to explain. "The door is sealed airtight like the vents and the only way to open it is with the pin pad that's at the door and you can only get out is with a finger identification".

"Solomon, I'm really not liking these steps you were taking man, so we're stuck here with crazy daddy and pals," Xander said lowering the case and strapping it back on his back carefully.

"Fucking rich people and their damn fancy ass and complicated doors," Sage growled.

"It seemed like a good idea at the time ok," Solomon groaned.

"We can always fight our way out," Aja pipped in softly making Xander, Sage and Solomon look at her. Sage scoffed and chuckled at little as she rubbed the bridge of her nose with her thumb, since that was the only part not on her gun at the moment.

"Aja, I like the enthusiasm but this is one of those times when you gotta ask 'with what army'," Xander said. Suddenly a big bang was heard and everyone looked to the side of the room as one of the door leading out the room burst open with about thirteen people in military uniforms, pointing assault rifles at the table full of the world's biggest crime lords, who stood there shocked. Xander looked behind him and saw about five more seals telling the unsuspecting group outside to get to their knees and put their hands on their head. Not knowing what to do, they followed their orders.

"EVERYBODY FREEZE," the team leader yelled. For a few seconds,no one moved and suddenly bullets were on in the air. Xander grabbed Sage and dived behind a couch that was nearby and Solomon followed with Aja. They all ducked their heads as bullets came whizzing by, Xander looked up and saw the team leader crawl over to them and after taking a few shoots, he looked over and saluted Xander.

"Agent X, Agent Riviera I presume," he said nodding to the both of them Solomon's ears perked up and he looked at the both of them.

"Agent"?

"Freeze? That's what you thought it would work, if it doesn't work in the movies what makes you think it would work for you," Sage yelled at the Navy seal before reaching her gun over and taking a few shots from her gun in frustration.

"Ma'am our mission is to extract you and agr=ent X and retrieve the weapon," he said. Xander took off the case on his back and shoved it in the man's hands.

"Here take it, it's nothing but trouble," he said.

"Wait, hold the fuck you, you guys are working for the fucking government? The American government," Solomon yelled over the bullets.

"Solomon, this not the time. Can we please pay attention to not fucking dying," Sage screamed.

"Don't worry ma'am the situation is under control. We've already taken the base and now that we have the weapon and you two, we just need to acquire Matias Williams," he said.

"Um guys…" Aja said.

"Aja, we're safe, we're being saved so stop worrying," Sage said

"No, but I think Matias is getting away," she said. Everyone's head popped over the couch and saw that indeed he was . He must've just finished putting his print in because the wall opened up and he was walking through as fast as his old less could take him.

"Fucking rich people with their fancy secret doors," Sage yelled and before Xander could stop her she was jumping over the couch, landing on the table and running across it while dodging bullets to run after him.

"Sage no," Xander yelled and was soon after her. He ducked his head as the bullets came whizzing by him and crawled under the table, passing a gangster hidden underneath it and trembling. As soon as he got to the end of the table he jumped up and made his way through the door.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxWith Sagexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sage ran as fast as she could, the hallways and suddenly felt like she was going uphill. It must've been a way to the surface and Matias must've been a Sage could hear the sound of waves crashing against the outsides of the tunnel. For an old man, Matias was pretty fast Sage thought as she finally saw some light at the end of the tunnel but no Matias. When she got to the end, she saw a door she pressed it open and came in contact with cold sea air and the sound of thunderous waves.

She looked around and saw that she was on a massive cliff and she could see that it was night time now. The wind was harsh and it thrashed her long hair all over her face and she constantly had to brush it out of her face as she looked around.

"It wasn't supposed to be this way you know," a voice said behind her. Sage whipped out her gun and pointed in the direction it came from, coming into to view of the man who was her father. He stood there with a sad smile on his face as the wind thrashed through his salt and pepper hair. Sage aim on him didn't falter, noticing that his gun was still in his hand and cautiously stepped forward.

"What did you expect to happen," she asked over the wind. He shrugged his shoulders

"I don't know what I expected," he said. They stood there for a moment, just looking back at each other and not saying a word.

"I have to bring you in," she finally said stepping forward. As soon as she did Matias took something out of his pocket and pointed it towards her. From what she could see it looked like some type of trigger, the type of trigger that was meant to detonate a bomb.

"I'm sorry Sage, but I'm too old to be going to jail. You either let me go or I press this button and random parts of the island are blown up, even I don't know where all the bombs are," he said. The door behind them burst open and Sage looked behind her to see it was Xander, with his gun up and ready. Matias raised the remote in Xander's position but kept his eyes on Sage.

"You alright Sage," Xander asked as he slowly made his way to his side with his aim on Matias.

"No sudden moves X, he's got a remote than could blow this entire island to hell," she said. Xander sighed and nodded his head.

"Didn't think it was gonna be easy," he said. "Give it up Matias, you're not going anywhere".

"And I also have nothing to lose, you will let me go," Matias said.

"And if I decide not to," Sage asked.

"Then you'll just have to kill me," Matias said. Xander's eyes wandered over to Sage as a small smile on her face appeared. Was she actually considering it? The thought did run through her mind, why shouldn't she? She would probably be doing the world a favor if she did, she had first hand experience with just being related to him. She never wanted to have the title of murder though.

"Why should I even give you the pleasure," she asked, her aim not wavering and her smile not falling.

"Because you were right about me….everyone I love is doomed by just knowing me and I am a old man. If I am going out then I want to go out my own way".

A battle raged on inside of Sage as she started to think hard about it. She should do it one side pof her said. Don;t do it, another said. He's the reason you're an orphan, you're grandma didn't raise a killer. You'd be avenging your mother's death, you'd be no better than him if you do it. That last thought echoed in her mind, she didn't want to be like him. She may be a lot of things, a bitch, a hacker, a lover , a criminal but she couldn't be him.

Before Matias could get another word out Sage lowered the aim of her gun and shot him in the leg. The old man fell to the ground with a yell and Xander ran over to pick up the detonator that fell to the ground. Sage approached Matias with her gun still pointed at him. As he tried to reach for his gun she pointed her straight at his face and kicked it away from him. Soon after the door burst open again to some of the Navy Seals, as soon as they saw the three, one was on her radio letting the team leader know the situation.

As they came to collect Matias from the ground and handcuff him, Sage looked him in the eye and walked over till she was face to face to him.

"Why didn't you just kill me," he asked as they put a wrap around his injured leg. Sage shrugged and smiled at him.

"You would've liked that wouldn't you, to take the easy way out," she said nd chuckled. "I'm not going to let you use me to appease your guilt and you don't get to die on your own terms, not on my watch. I'd rather let you rot in jail and think about all the shit you've done like you deserve….get him the fuck out my face". With that they took Matias away, his eyes never leaving Sage's as they dragged him away. She jumped at the touch of a hand on her shoulder and turned her head to see the concerned look on his face. He didn't have to say anything and pulled her close to him and buried her head in his chest. She held on tight to him and felt silent tears fall down her face as she got lost in the warmth of his chest and the sound of his strong heartbeat. For the first time in the last few weeks, she felt like she was going to be ok.

Xander and Sage sat with hot coffee (coco for Sage) in the medical area that Gibbons team had set up. Luckily there was nothing serious, a few scratches and a piss test for both of them to make sure Matias had put nothing in their systems. Xander sat next to Sage, holding her hand and smiling down at her as her licked the whip cream off her hot chocolate. She looked up at him as she took one more lick at it.

"What you looking me like that for," she asked. He put and arm around her waist and brought them hip to hip.

"I'm thinking me and you need to make a trip, maybe out in Europe," he said. Sage shook her head.

"Hell no, if anything we're going to New York. I have a cannoli place with my name written all over it", she said leaning her head on his shoulders.

"So you're ok with this," he said pointing between the two of them. Dsge lifted her head and placed a deep kiss against Xander mouth. He brought a hand up and caressed her cheek and he she let his tongue open her mouth and trace the inside of it. When she moved back for air she gave him a kiss on his cheek and looked him in the eye.

"I think I was ok with this for a whole mess for a while no," she said. He smiled won at her in return and pressed another kiss to her mouth.

"Alright, alright kids, let's not get all mushy," a voice said. They looked up to see Gibbons walking up with a pep in his step and a smile on his face. "Good work, Matias is behind bars, the weapon is safe and Solomon has agreed to a very nice year long house arrest under the condition of giving us some very detailed information about all the gang leaders related. Assassin jobs, drugs, money washing, everything we need to keep them behind bars for a long long time.

"Why didn't I get Navy Seals when I was in trouble," Xander asked. Sage chuckled and shrugged in on the shoulder.

"Because she's not as annoying, but really you guys did good. The world is safe again".

"Yea until the next psycho," Sage pointed out sipping her coco. Xander and Gibbons both nodded as Gibbons sat down in a chair across from them.

"Yea but with these guys behind bars, that may be a long time from now," he said. Right after a women in a lab coat and glasses came over, she cleared her throat to get all of their attention and they all looked over at her.

"We have good news sire, there were no toxins or foreign chemicals found in either of their samples". She turned to Sage with a ever bigger smile "And I think congratulations are in order for agent Riviera".

"Oh yes, it's always good to be congratulated for not dying a horrible death and putting your father behind bars," Sage said as she took another sip of her coco. The Doctor laughed and shook her head.

"No Agent Riviera, you're expecting". Sage spat out her coco to her side and Gibbons and Xander both looked at each other in shock.

"E-excuse me," Sage said after she wiped the coco off her lips. The shocked doctor nodded and looked down at her chart.

"Yes ma'am from the sample you gave us, it says that you're about almost a month, but we can run some blood test as well".

"I think that would be a good idea," Gibbons said. The doctor nodded her head and walked away. Sage let her gaze move up to Xander who had a big smile on his face and was looking down at her as well.

"Well, ain't that something," he said. Oh God she was never gonna get rid of him now.

The End

Yay I finally finished! I was thinking about doing a little mini series as a sequel for this to shoe Sage and Xander trying to get in the grove of realizing they're going to be parents and to see what their relationship looks like out of the whole spy rold, but I'm not sure. Let me know what your thoughts are please because I already have the idea in my head but I don't want to really do it if no one is going to be interested. Thanks for reading guys!
