Sage waited impatiently. But got distracted by the woman pounding on the invisible wall. "Get me out of here."

It was a while longer while Sage waited for Nox to respond. She continued to pound on it.

Sage was about to say now, but Ayden pounded on the wall and then she was falling forward. She used the forward momentum and lunged for Sage. He put the baby in front of him to stop her. "You hurt me. I won't help you. You touch the baby and Nox will hunt you down and you'll be just as dead as the assassins he was sent to kill."
