Oh, I’ve been offered the opportunity from many companies. I’ve never accepted any of them, because then I’d been under them and would always worry that whatever I was working on could do more harm than good. In my eyes, at least. Not in others’. I’m also not really a punching in at 8 a.m. and out at 5 p.m. kind of person. I work on what I want when I want.
With Magic, Rebel, and I, we all have a set of skills. I can do some hacking. Nowhere near the level that Rebel and Magic can. I’m not great at sitting and staring at a screen.
“Ocean?” Magic shouts in my ear.
“What?” She and the driver both tell me I’m at my destination. “Thanks. I got my bags,” I tell him. I slap down a few bills. I’m sure Magic already handled it, but it’s not my money. I’d give him this whole wallet I’d gotten with the man’s Rolex, but it might not go down well.
I grab my shit and stand on the sidewalk watching the man pull away. When he turns the corner, I head in the other direction.
“Two streets up, take a left, and it’s the fourth door on the right,” Magic tells me.
I walk toward my destination. “You know I don’t need six bedrooms.” I head up the stairs to the front door.
“It’s close to Vane’s place.”
“Close?” I joke. I saw the layout of his estate. It’s massive.
“The closest house we could get. The code for the door is 74-”
“I’m in.” I cut her off.
“Of course you are. I turned off the alarms. Owen said everything you need was dropped off. There should be a box.” I spot it on a table.
“The motorcycle?”
“It’s in the garage.”
“All right.” I drop my shit. Well, everything except Wave–I gently place her on the sofa. “I’ll reach out when I’m almost there.” I check the time. I’ve got a few hours to kill, which I need.
I open the box filled with goodies and smile. A nervous excitement hums through my body. This is going to be so much fun.

VANE
She’s here.
I can’t sit down, can’t stand still, can’t do anything except pace back and forth, my gaze on my monitors as she moves closer and closer.
She’s cocky. Not waiting till dark to make her move. The sun is low on the horizon as she skirts around the back edge of my property. Dressed in a dark gray that seems to change color to match whatever she’s standing next to–nice tech–I lose her here and there in the feed. But I can sense her.
Some sort of board is tucked under her arm as she prowls closer and closer.
“You ready for this?” Cass asks, leaning against the door frame and watching as I pace.
I was worried this moment would never come. But now it’s here. I grin.
“I guess that’s all the answer I need.”
“You can go.” I wave a hand at her, my eyes still on the screen. “Give Daphne my love.”
“You sure? She’s not exactly harmless, boss. Quite the opposite. If she gets the drop on you, she could do some dam–”
“Go. Seriously. I’ve got this.” I finally stop pacing when she pauses at a spot along my wall, her gaze focusing upward.
Then my cameras go fuzzy and click off.
Cass groans as the screens go dark one after another. “Have I mentioned how much I don’t like this plan?”
