Sergei grumbles something in Russian and stands up. “Albert had a fight with his girlfriend yesterday, so he’s cranky.” “Albert?” “That would be me,” Felix calls over his shoulder. “Sergei’s take on a Batman joke. He thinks he’s witty.” I raise my eyebrows. “Wasn’t that Alfred? In the movie?” “Yes, but he says that Alfred sounds aristocratic and I’m not sophisticated enough for it. So, he changed it to Albert.”
