Tony's Famous Pizzaria [DC]

[Sage]

Sage laughed. "How can I free her? No more than you can." But Sage quickly sent Nox a message.

How long is she trapped?"

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.

Right about now

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."

[Ayden]

The power flooded her mind and she wrapped the boy in air as he moved the baby in front of him. Ayden wasn't afraid of Nox. And what kinda of person uses a baby as a shield. "You're a monster."

She snatched the baby carrier from the kid. "Who the fuck leaves a baby with a junkie anyway?" Ayden lifted the carrier to check on the child. "Connor he's not a valid parent."
