I'm still just staring at Sang ten minutes later when Axel finally arrives. I'm completely convinced she would have followed through with her threat and I'm not sure if I should be utterly terrified or turned on. A little bit of both is happening and it's a strange feeling. Raven doesn't have that problem. Based on his shifting I'd say he's without a doubt sporting a raging hard on.

When Sang sees Axel she shoots me an icy glare. Okay that's not fun to be on the other side of. "I'm still going back." This girl is going to be the death of me! With a shrug I turn to Axel as he slides in beside Sang across from me. He just gives everyone a head nod before looking over the menu.

After he's finally placed his order Axel looks at me. "Let's hear it. Based on the frosty look you're getting I'm assuming this wasn't cleared by the concerned party." Raven looks between Axel and I before leveling Sang with a look. She must see something in his eyes because after a heavy eye roll she slumps back in the booth. It's totally not cute. One hundred percent not adorable... I'm totally telling the truth.

"Okay so here's what I've come up with. Sang has no legal records. The bitch she lives with doesn't want her around, Sang doesn't want to be there. We have proof of abuse and neglect, a lot of it. Now this part isn't ideal but it gets her out of that house." Sang is sitting up and looking at me warily while Axel seems to be mulling everything over in his head.

"My first idea was just to draw up a contract to not press charges if the asshole just lets Sang move out but while sitting here I think I've come up with a better idea. Her birth certificate is fake, yes?" Nods can be seen all around the table. "So," I pause as our waitress brings over the food. Sang's eyes darken slightly at the sight of her stack of pancakes and eggs. Mmm, Hacker with those eyes in my room. Maybe so whipped cream- Snap out of it Corey!

To try and clear my head I take a big bite of my veggie burger. Uncle makes the best ones in town. Raven takes a bite of his bacon burger before winking at me and sliding a small dish of fruit my way. With a small smile I take one of the grapes and pop it in my mouth. The grin on Raven's face is infectious and has my mind thinking of both of them. The whipped cream and some fruit, both of them- Oh, oh I need to stop that thought right now.

Raven shoots me a knowing look before he watches Sang with a decent level of lust in his own eyes. I have to clear my throat before continuing. The sound she made on her first bite... Yep back to the task at hand. What was that again? Oh, right getting her away from the step-bitch. Where was I again?

"So, um, right!" Raven chuckles silently while Sang just looks confused. "What if we were to manufacture her a birth certificate that said she was already eighteen? No one would be able to tell which was the original and she wouldn't have to stay there any longer. We just show them the new fake, pack up whatever she wants and leave."

A fork clatters against a plate before Sang leaps over the back of the booth. Suddenly she's wrapped around my side muttering something. I turn completely to embrace her and bury my face into her neck. Her scent wraps around me while her arms tighten just slightly. I don't even notice the dampness of my shoulder until she pulls away. "How did I not think of that? How did I miss the obvious?"

I brush a strand of hair that's sweeping against her cheek away. There isn't even any evidence she was crying except the small wet spot on my shirt. "Sometimes, when we're too close to the problem we can't see the solution." I look into her deep green eyes and feel a small part of my soul leave me for her. "When you're coding you can always find a way to get what you need. There isn't one answer. Many exist, we just need to find the one that fits this line."

Suddenly Sang tenses up and lets go of me. Turning around her eyes sweep the entire restaurant. What's wrong? "Hacker?" She holds up one finger and keeps looking. When her eyes land on one table just taking their seats her entire body turns to stone. Who are they? Sang turns to Axel and connects with his eyes. He nods and then she's gone. I barely felt her leave. How was she so fast?

"Corey, I want you to find out who those people are. I have a feeling this is going to bite us soon. Now before we go meet her, how quickly can you get a fake made? Also, have you thought of where she'll stay?" With me duh! Oh wait, that actually might not work. Oh! I know! I turn to Raven and smile widely. He notes my smile and a wicked glint enters his eyes.

"For the first question. Since it doesn't need to be good I just need an hour, maybe two tops." I pause and wink at Raven. "As for the second. Raven. You ready to move in?" A soundless laugh leaves him as he nods his head yes. Raven grabs my hand and squeezes lightly. "So, Axel. You and Marc think you can handle a roommate?"

Axel rolls his eyes at me and mumbles something about weird brothers and pretty girls. His dark eyes meet my own light ones. "I have a feeling Marc will be thrilled and I'm sure she would be easier to live with than the gun toting maniac here." I chuckle darkly thinking back to her interaction with the bitch of the west while Raven breaks out into a full on belly laugh.

"I would not be so surf, Bossman." Axel looks confused but doesn't say anything.

Yeah, so not worth correcting this time. This could be interesting.
