Hoit didn't answer her question. She asked When the meeting was, not if she couldn't leave. She would have gone home whether they wanted her to or not. She was an assassin and would have escaped, especially if they hired her. "I'm use to being on call..." Sage answered back with not much thought.
They continued down the hall and to Sage's displeasure it almost seemed like they were never going to get to their destination. She was immediately proven wrong when they seem to stop by a door, though what happened to her next she was not expecting.
Batter moved a lot faster then she thought he could in a tight space. It didn't help the fact that the Batter knew what was behind the door, therefore he knew Sage was not going to like it. Which means behind the door... is the reason they handcuffed her.
Sage we already on the verge of freaking out. Now 'freaking out' was an understatement.
Sage immediately parted her legs, getting into a stance ready to push her body in any direction she needed. It was a practiced stance that had kept her alive on many occasions, including the her first meeting with the Batter. However, it was far too late to try and escape, the Batter had way too much of a head start.
The bat made its way across Sage's neck, touching her throat, threatening to suffocate her. She could feel it push her backwards, summoning her to the Batters side so he could escort her without her having any chance of fighting back. This was bad.
Sage felt like her heart was going to jump out of her chest. What felt like fast and uneven beats forced her to let out light panting breaths as if she had just sprinted down the hallway running and the Batter had caught her. Only, she didn't get that head start.
Sage closed her eyes for a moments peace, trying to get herself under control. Whatever mask she had placed over her panic she had earlier was completely crushed by the Batter's quick movements. It was very apparent that Sage was scared, but she was sure the moment the fear passed she would move directly into being absolutely livid again.
Hoit's words grace Sage's ears for a moment, giving her just a tiny, almost insignificant, reassurance. His words earned him one of her witty remarks that sometimes just left her mouth without much thought at all, "Fantastic observation...." She manage to say thought her slight panicked breaths. It didn't sound sarcastic, so the statement itself had little meaning to it except to confirm that she was, indeed, freaking out.
Lucky just about jumped out of her skin at the unexpect hostile approach for the bluenette. It really seemed like no one was expecting the sudden movement. It was quite apparent that she was pretty scared. Lucky almost felt a bit of pity for the girl. If she would just relax and got with the flow, things would have gone much smoother.
