Francisco
After many drinks, I still wasn't drunk. Maybe the liquor wasn't that strong. Pulling out my keys to unlock the apartment door. I heard it click.
I found the penthouse to be completely dark. Walked over to the kitchen turning on the light in there. After there was some light. I walked over to coffee table.
Kneeling down, sliding out the drawer. The key was in the right spot. Maybe I was assuming too quickly. Hurried up the stairs. Once I came up the stairs to the second floor. I walk over to her bedroom.
Opening the door. Sage was sitting on her bed with her laptop sitting on her stomach. She was eating either yogurt or the stupid pudding I bought.
"It's a bit late, you're still up?" I ask.
"Yes, I couldn't sleep." Sage answers.
"Well, do you wanna watch a movie?" I ask. Sage smiles at the suggestion.
"Yea." Sage said happily. She closes her laptop setting it onto the table.
"Okay, let me get into my sleeping clothes and take a shower. I probably smell like wet dog." I reply.
Sage chuckles. I walk out of her room down to my bedroom. Which was so cold. Like a freezer. Shutting my bedroom door after I got into my room.

Once I was finished doing my routine. I left my bedroom. Sage was already down the stairs. She reached the bottom steps.
Walked into the kitchen, opening a the pack for the popcorn. I put it into the microwave. Pressing popcorn. She reached for the tv remote.
"What kinda movie do you wanna watch?" I ask. Sage looks at me for a second and turns back to the tv.
"Have you ever watched Beauty and The Beast?" Sage ask.
"I did, when I was like eight. I don't remember anything from it. I just know the main characters name is Belle and the beast. Everything else is a blur." I answer.
"Well we are watching that. Because that is my favorite movie since I was five." Sage replies. I nodded pouring the popcorn into the bowl.
I walk over to the couch and sat down besides her, setting the popcorn onto the table. Looking up on the tv, I saw that she successfully found the movie.
Sage
Francisco sat down besides me putting the bowl of popcorn down on the coffee table between the two of us. I started the movie.
It was awkward silent between us, when we were half way through the movie is when Francisco probably became extremely confused. Because he started asking a whole bunch of questions.
"Gaston is a little bitch." Francisco spat. I couldn't handle." I reply.
"I know, but Belle deserves Beast." Francisco said, he was being so cute at the moment. I thought this in friendly way.
"It's so cute how passionate you are about them being together." I said.
"So about what Martinez said. He wasn't really being sarcastic. I just didn't want to make you feel bad." Francisco replies.
"What did Martinez say?" I ask not remembering what he said.
"About a one on one date." Francisco answers. I wanted to pause the movie. But that would make the whole situation awkward.
"Yea, that would be great. Just a friend one? Not any romance at all, right?" I ask. Francisco nodded.
"Except we are going to have dress fancy since it's a really expensive restaurant." Francisco answers. That's the moment when I needed Sofia.
"Okay, that will be fine." I reply.
Nikolay
Staring down at my computer screen. My office door suddenly opened. Revealing to be Adina. She didn't look to be too happy.
"I attempted to email Francisco. Either the email was deleted or he didn't read it. Since it's not going to work. I will just have to do it the old fun way." Adina said. I raised my eyebrows.
"Which way is that?" I ask.
"Going to confront him about it in person. It may not be easy since I lost his trust forever ago. But I will take the picture of you, Isabeli, and Sage. Then he will realize why all the Russian mafia has been going after them." Adina answers.
"That's a perfect idea." I complimented. She smiled.
"It's going to be a bit risky. So I'll just do my own convincing. But I'll be back and hopefully bring along Sage." Adina replies. I chuckled.
"After that we will lure Francisco. After we have him. Martinez will come along, before you know it in the palm of our hands we will have Isabeli. Then the Spanish mafia will seize to exist." I said. Adina grinned at that idea.
"Well I'm going to pack my supplies and get ready. This could last up to week or longer at most." Adina announced. I leaned back on the dark brown desk to continue surfing the internet.
"Alright, be back soon. We lost a member about a couple months ago. Andres, due to him being an idiot." I imply to remind her. She nodded heavily before exiting my office.
I had deep faith in her. But I wasn't sure if I could trust her to do so. She failed a couple years back when she told Francisco that she was a Russian spy.
He ended up telling Isabeli and Martinez. But they didn't go after her. But since she comes crawling back. Maybe that would push them to the limits.
