Saige's pov

It was yet another hard day at work. Everyday it came closer to tommorow. The day when we all were going home. I took of my heavy boots as I looked at Tyler. He was cute I wasn't going to lie. We. He treated me right. I was the only girl in here. I had to be treated much worse. One time the liutenant made me do 175 pushups in the rain with his watch dogs watching me.

It wasn't easy out here. Don't get me wrong. I wants to go back home. I heard Zo Was no a lakers star. I really wanted to get home to congratulate him.  Melo was in college now doing big things. Gelo I heard had gotten himself in Jail for shoplifting. I laughed to myself.

I could easily get him out. China and I were good friends let's just say I helped me with a couple of wars.

I was tired so - *bam*

I looked to my right to see our tent on fire and blood. But not my blood tyler blood. "TYLER!" I screamed. "Get out of there brown!" Liutenant Johnson said.  "No! I can't leave him!" I said as I grabbed Tyler and put him on my shoulder I struggled to run out but I kept going. He kept mumbling something but I was just focused on leaving. We all packed know vehicles. Chelsea our nurse tended to Tyler. I opened a window. "What the fuck are you doing brown" Lt. Johnson said.

"Saving your ass" I said grabbing a sniper and quickly but skillfully going on the roof of the moving car. I breathed in and out. My heart beat was pounding through my ears. I held the gun. Everything seemed slow.

Then I shot at the target and after that everything was a blur...

Next day

I was back in China, back in the place I was honored for. I walked with Heling the daughter of the Emperor. "So about gelo, my father believes your wishes and told me to give you this key to set him free. However, he shall be banned from here in return". I nodded. "Seems fair thanks Ling" I said catching the key. "No thank you, my grandfather would have proud of you, I remember when your mother use to bring you here when you were little. I missed you thanks for serving us" .

I nodded "Come down to LA and visit sometime"

She bit her nails "I don't know I need to finish my studies-"

"Just come one time" I said smiling. She nodded. "I will Saige Brown". I laughed at how she always used my whole name. So iwalked into to the filthy cells. I wonder why gelo did this to himself. I saw inmates giving me sexual looks. I looked forward as I brushed my veteran, camo jumpsuit. "Hey babygirl let me tear that real quick". He said smiling.

But his smile dropped when he say I had a hand gun in my boot. I touched it. "Woah never mind" he said. I smiled sarcastically. That's what I thought bitch. I then looked at cell B01 and there It was dark. I hesitantly opened it. "Um hello" I called. The darkness giving me and uneasy feeling. I felt a breeze past me.

"Who are you and what you want?" He asked. "It doesn't matter who I am what matters is that I came to get you out". Then the light came on. There was gelo. I was surprised. He looked different. Not ugly different. His beard was still the same his hair looked curlier. On his arm I saw a tattoo sleeve. It was quite sexy. His eyes though weren't a soft green like before. They were an intense  green.

"On your a girl. I promised myself I would never give my heart to a girl " he said. "How could you anyways, you were stuck in here for six years".

"Ugh ihad four more years why didn't you just let me rot in here stranger" he said. He got up. He was way taller than before. "Woah" I said. He rolled his eyes as if not really caring for opinions. "Well on with it open the door" he said. "Right" I said fumbling with the key. Then I felt a hand on mine entering the key slowly and turning it. My hand felt warm from his touch. I cleared my throat pushing the gate like door open.
He gave me a thank you bitch for your service closed mouth smile.

"Gelo?" I asked. He turned around. I was gonna tell him, it was some the one who sealed the crack in his heart but then opened it again. "Your welcome" I said clearly brushing off what I wanted to say.

He nodded. After that we got his stuff and he changed from the orange jumpsuit. He looked so good and he smelled good to. Guess they made him shower. I didn't expect them to have toothbrushes her and body wash. This was nicer than I thought. "So ms. Stranger what led you to releasing me" he said as he got out from the prison grounds.

"I am good friends with the emperor and president. I served them in war. Now they serve me in happiness". I said. "How am I your happiness". He said. And then it began to rain I wanted to walk away from this situation but the question was stuck. I looked at his green eyes. "Liangelo, you are more than my happiness. Liangelo I came back here for you, I love you. I'm so sorry I left. Things have changed so much but my feeling for you didn't".

I said crying "at nights I hold my gun in my hand thinking of what ways would kill me first" I cried. His eyes widened not knowing what to say "who are you?" He asked not recognizing me. "Liangelo it's me saige..."
