Consequences

[Sage]

The barrier came down while Sage's hand was still touching it. It was there, and then it wasn't. It didn't crumble or disintegrate, it was just gone. Sage frowned as he walked over to his wallet hiding behind the front step with his laptop. He sat down on the third step and opened up the pinging message. He had filters set for his favored hacker forums and chat rooms to tell him when people talked about him. He wasn't surprised a message had come up. But he was surprised by what he found inside.

Sasha had called with Grim's missing and now this girl was talking like she knew what was going on. Sage frowned and gripped his wallet tighter as he read what Sasha had confirmed. His things were gone... Why the fuck didn't she call him and tell him?

Sage looked at the time stamps on the messages and they were before she had called him. She'd known. She hadn't said anything.

Nox and Elyse were talking to each other so he dialed Sasha's number furious. He got up and started pacing. He hated this. Not being connected sucked - he could have the information he wanted in seconds if he just plugged in the dongle. Sage felt around in his pocket and pulled out the small wireless dongle he used to wear all the time - now he was without it.

Fuck this - he had to know. Sage slipped the dongle into place and looked past all the thoughts he normally had and found the power switch and turned everything on. The current started flowing purposefully again and Sage smiled as the information started flowing...
