[[ I know it's not my turn but better if Cruz goes last ]]
Sage watched as the fingers walked across Raffe's shoulder. This had to be the man they were looking for and now Sage had a face to go with the name and that was all he required to send his algorithms into overdrive looking for any thing and everything about this man -- even if he had to scour ever video camera in Moscow, it would know more about Ezekiel by days end.
But in that moment of pause Sage smiled and offered his hand. "You must be him." Sage nodded around to everyone watching them but not watching. He smirked and leaned in to whisper to the pair.
Cruz put his hand on Sage's shoulder. "Sage, don't.
Sage looked back at his friend. "It's fine." Sage replied to Cruz and returned to Raffe and his friend. "The fires have died down and I have it on good authority that all the beasties down there are gone. At least temporarily -- monsters like to find the dark places so they'll be more later. But those new ones they are all gone. Except a few topside that didn't heed the call."
"Sage." Cruz drew out his name like he was doing something bad.
"What! He should know." Sage returned his attention to the men. "They can go home if they like." Not that it was much of a home, but it was better than feeling displaced. Even the confines of his bedroom where his parents locked him up to experiment on him was better than not being home. Now home was with Aidan. At least for now. Before it had been with Nox and Cruz in the basement... next time it might be in a cave somewhere. Who knew.
