"I’m glad we’re all here to help." Igor shoots me a curt look. "We’ve dealt with scum like the Riccardis before. We can blast them to smithereens."
Demetri smirks. "I’ll blow them to high heaven like I did to that cartel compound in Cartagena."
Karter rolls his eyes. "Oh, relax. I did most of the work that day."
"Keep telling yourself that," Demetri growls.
Timofey rubs Karter’s hand. "Without Demetri, we would’ve been up a creek without a paddle, boy."
Karter shrugs. "I’m the one who took those bad guys out. Single-handedly."
Lucas rolls his eyes. "My Daddy saved your butt."
"Did not." Karter sticks out his tongue.
"Did too." Lucas glares at Karter.
Timofey laughs as he places his palms on the conference table. "It doesn’t matter who killed the bad guys. What matters is that we all got out alive."
Lucas turns to Demetri. "No blowing stuff up. It’s bad for the environment."
Demetri groans. "I like explosives. Mother Nature can handle it."
Preston turns to Sasha. "We should string the Riccardis to our helicopter and fish for sharks with them."
Sasha grins. "You can say that again."
"Do you have many sharks in the Mediterranean?" Bentley asks me.
I nod. "You bet your ass we do."
Vincenzo smirks. "The sharks here are vicious. They can rip a man’s head off with a signal chomp."
Mattie wolf whistles. "That’s hot."
"How is that hot?" Tommasso issues Mattie a look. "It’s terrifying."
"I meant it in the Paris Hilton sense," Mattie drawls. "Not literally hot."
"It’s literally hot, too." Medici pats Mattie’s hand. "I know the thought of sharks chomping off the Riccardis’ heads turns me on."
Mattie winks at Medici. "You can say that again."
"That’s also not 'literally' hot," I point out gruffly. "Literally would mean you got super warm. Sweaty."
"People don't mean 'literally' when they say 'literally,'" Macon drawls, literally driving me nuts. "Quit parsing my words."
Dino rolls his eyes. "Now is not the time for this discussion."
My eyes lock on Nikolai. "Let’s go over the plan again."
"What plan?" Nikolai drawls. "We haven’t come up with one yet. We’re too busy talking about sharks."
"I, for one, could talk about sharks all day." Macon kicks his feet up on the conference table. "They’re easily the best ocean creature."
"Have you seenThe Meg?" Cyan asks, turning to Macon.
Macon nods. "Oh, yeah. Great movie."
