Sage was only mildly aware of the exchange between Sasha and Brian. It wasn't until the message came across that he noticed anything had changed in the outside world. Sasha was still kneeling next to him, and Brian was kneeling now too. Both of them were staring at him like he'd gone mental. Maybe he had - Sage stopped rocking back end forth and rested his forehead against his knees and responded to the message instead of using his voice. He didn't want to hear the emotions in his own voice.

  Ph435r: You...


Sage really didn't know what to say, or do or even if he believed his former mentor.

  3ff3rv3sc3nt: r3x asked me in the den. You can see the feeds yourself. Shortly before I found you. Look Ph435r look at the feeds. You will see I didn't know he would hurt you. I swear.


Sage did that - he would find the truth, the proof, the reality of everything. There was no lying in information - no betrayal - no feelings. Just the facts. They could be wrong, but they could not be altered without leaving a footprint - a missing bit in the code, a stripped or changed key. The internet was full of lies, full of contradiction. It was Sage's job to sort through it to find the truth. It was his only ambition - it drove everything he did.

The security cameras were easily accessed on his own system. The vids he needed weren't archived yet - but they would be eventually. Sage scanned quickly through the feed looking for r3x and Grim's conversation. Turning the audio on and watching through the camera as if he were seeing it just the same.

r3x sat in an overstuffed couch sipping at a cup of hot coffee and eating a scone. "Bri, I need you to keep Sage busy for a few hours. Got something I want to surprise him with."

Grim sat next to r3x on the same couch he was absorbed in the screen on his lap. He nodded still absorbed in whatever he was doing on his laptop. "Sure, when."

r3x laughed. "Now would be good. But whenever just let me know."

Grim nodded again and took the scone from r3x. "Payment. I'll get him to help me with this bit." Grim rose from the couch with a grunt and headed out the door.

Sage stopped the feed playback and lifted his head to look at across at his friend. "I"m sorry."


As if those two little words were spoken both Sasha and Brian heaved sighs of relief. Sasha wrapped her warm arms around Sage and pulled her against him. "You are so cold baby." Sage wasn't going to refute the treatment or the statement as he laid against her chest. She smelled of honey and roses.

"Probably should get him into bed. He looks drained. What were you doing Sage?"

Sage didn't answer as his friends helped him up and escorted him to his bed. Grim laid the blankets over and Sasha helped him lie down and covered him up, but she didn't get in beside him only sat down next to his head and smoothed the mop of hair that had fallen in front of his eyes away from his forehead. Her touch was soft, and he closed his eyes. Sage smiled as he started to drift off to sleep "I was visiting a friend."
