Colby rapped on the metal door with his knuckles, skateboard in one hand and his backpack thrown over his shoulder as he waited for the door to open. Sage answered the door and smiled at him, grabbing his wrist and dragging him inside the garage.
"What took you so long?" she joked with a big huge on her face..
"I just took my time" he replied, smiling down at her. Then focusing his attention at all the others gathered him in the room. They were all looking at him standing beside Sage. He gave an awkward wave after he set his beat up bag at his feet. They gave no response which made him that much more uncomfortable. When nobody gave a response, Sage turned her attention to Cabe and Toby, the ones in charge of the interrogations she wasn’t all that fond about.
"You kids ready?" Cabe asks.
"Uh, yeah, sure," Colby responds with a shrug, leaning his skateboard against a nearby desk wo it wouldn’t roll away.
Sage and Colby followed Cabe into the back room with Toby trailing along behind them, picking up a cup of coffee along the way. He met with them in the cramped room, coffee in hand as he sat on the chair in the corner of the room as Cabe started the interrogation.
"So, we would like to know from how you two met, to how you find out about these dangerous guys," Cabe says, eyeing the two of them, letting his gaze linger on Sage momentarily while ennunciating the last portion of his sentence.
"Where would you like me to start?" Colby asks leaning back in the chair, with a smirk on his face.
"How about from the beginning" Toby says, taking a sip of the coffee. His face contorts into a disgusted grimace as he glances down into the mug. It was that stupid cinnamon Walter insisted on all the time.
"Blegh" he says, placing the full mug on the corner table in the center room.
"What's wrong with you?" Cabe asks in annoyance, looking over his shoulder at the disgusted shink smacking his lips and tongue to attempt and get the horid taste from his mouth.
"I can't stand that cinnamon Walter puts in that coffee" Toby says, continuing on with his montage of odd faces.
"Continue" he says, Standing up from his seat and moving to stand behind Cabe then gestures for Colby to continue on.
"Well, I met Sage in first grade. She was always very quiet and we were assigned to work on a project together. After that I guess she liked me alright so she told me what he favorite color was, and apparently that was like a big deal to her so afterwards we were sorta best friends" Colby says, before Sage picks up on the conservation after roling her eyes repeatedly.
"He was the only one I trusted at the time because of certain things, and he was my only friend all the way through school. Eventually I told him everything when he found me in a dangerous situation around fourth grade, and he wouldn't leave me alone about it, so I told him so he’d shut up about it," she finished, turning to give Colby a look. Colby nodded his agreement and laughed.
"Ever since then I helped her in any way I could I guess you could say. I never told anyone about her though, she wanted to keep it a secret, and I respected that."
"Okay, so how did you two start finding info on bad men?" Toby asks.
"I started around two years ago, but I never let Colby help me in finding the info. I didn’t want him getting in trouble with the governent or anoyone, so I tried my best to keep the two of them seperate, but apparently that didn’t work out as planned,” she said, raising her eyebrows. “I never told him about what I was doing either. He never questioned me when I asked for his help, he just did what I needed him to do," Sage says.
