“Why?”

“Scientific interest.”

He laughs. “I don’t know what the fuck you even gain from all of this, but I like your way of doing things.”

“Everyone does.”

He laughs again. “Will send shortly. Laters.”

As soon as I have the text that includes the admission QR code, I forward it to Jethro.

Me

Need access.

Jethro

The fuck? Some kids’ hunt?

A hunt is a hunt. Can you arrange it?

Do you need a replica access code?

No. I’m not lining up with students who can recognize me. Arrange background access. Staff or guard. They’ll have masks on, right? It should be easier to infiltrate.

Russian mafia security is NOT easy to infiltrate. Their parents placed a rock-fucking-solid security system in place.

Surely not that rock fucking solid for you.

I’ll be invoicing you for the extra hassle.

Invoice away. Prepare to control the cameras and cover my tracks while you’re at it.

Did I tell you I fucking hate you sometimes?

I’ll take that as an agreement.

Kayden.

Don’t start nagging.

I’m reminding you that you can’t escape your brother forever. He’s doubling down on his threats.

He’ll live. Besides, he knows I’m working in Europe now. Julian has been taking care of my side of the business back home, so that should keep Grant occupied for the time being.

How about Declan, then? If he finds out you’re hiding this from him, he’ll flip the fuck out.

He won’t. Stop acting like an annoying in-law and get me access.

Hope you get impaled on a cactus and suffer excruciating pain

With a sigh, I pocket my phone and head to my closet. Now, I understand why Yulian was whistling.

This is actually thrilling.

Nothing compares to the morbid excitement at the knowledge that I’ll play with my new favorite toy.

This isthe most ludicrous thing ever done.
