I blinked. “But you’re a child. You’re the IT specialist?”

“I am prepubescent, yes. If that’s so disconcerting to you, let’s get that out of the way shall we?”

“Ignore him,” Kat said. “Damian, we’re here to disassemble the firewall on Keif’s accounts. We want to wipe him clean.”

Felicity returned with a glass of milk and a napkin and set it on Damian’s desk. “Here you go, sir.”

“Thank you. And are you aware that these people are trying to rob my father, Felicity?”

“I am, sir.”

“Good. That’ll be all for now.”

“Keif is your dad?” Kat asked, wincing. “Are we in conflict here?”

“Depends.” Damian tapped his manicured fingers on his desk. “What’s the plan for the money?”

Kat shrugged. “I just like stealing shit.”

Damian inclined his head. “I want a cut.”

“Why not take it all if you’re the one with access to the firewall?”

“I’m no criminal.”

Kat grinned. “You set up firewalls on the accounts of the wealthy and then wait for people to pay you to take them down?”

Damian snagged a cookie and dunked it into his milk. “Smart and gorgeous.”

“Watch it, kid,” I snapped.

Kat chuckled. “The Prince of Vampires gets jealous.”

“I’m not worried,” Damian said with a shrug. “You know where to find me if you ever want a real man instead of a shadow ghoul.”

I stepped forward. “I’m going to snap his tiny bones—”

Kat put her hand on my chest and addressed Damian. “Twenty percent.”

“Thirty.”

“Sure.”

“I’ll have Felicity supply you with my account numbers.”

“Twenty four hours sound good?”

“Perfect. Pleasure doing business with you.” Then Damian nodded his head toward me, reached under his desk, and pulled out four enormous rolls of duct tape. “And I could wrap him up and leave him somewhere if you want, my lady? Take you on a nice Valentine’s date?”

Kat chuckled. “I do believe I already have Valentine’s arrangements.” She looked at me. “Right?”

“What?”

“You’re my Valentine’s Day plan. Right?”

“Go on, motherfucker,” Damian said, narrowing his beady eyes. “Hesitate.”

“You’re not a candidate, child.” And then I faced Kat. “...Sure.”
