“There has to be something really fucked up with me that the idea of you doing terrible things to him makes me happy.”

“Are you happy that I took care of things or that he was taken care of?”

“Two things can be true.”

“If he’s going to stick a gun in your face because he’s on a power trip, then he deserves to pay for it. Being happy he got what he deserves doesn’t make you a bad person. It makes you human.”

“Would you feel better if I told you he got what he deserved?”

“Did he get fired?”

“Yes, but that’s not all he got.” The intense look in his eyes from earlier is back.

“Did you do something to him?”

“Would it bother you if I did?” A smile tugs at my lips. “I showed him what happens when you threaten someone who belongs to me.”

“Is he still breathing?”

“Yes.”

“Is he in one piece?”

“Define one piece.”

"I find you interesting because you are interesting. And we ended up like this because you’re mine.”

“You said that before. That wasn’t just sex talk?”

“Would I have told you that my brother and I are diagnosed psychopaths if you weren’t mine? Do you really believe I’d give you that kind of ammunition when no one outside of our family knows?”

My brain does the mental equivalent of a record scratch.

“You keep saying Fibonacci like it’s supposed to mean something to me.”

“Well, he said that Myles is a nerd who likes math and this equation is kind of the holy grail for math nerds."

"That doesn’t really help but whatever. I’m used to feeling like a dumbass around you two. I’m fine sitting at the dumbass table while you figure shit out. Tell me when you need me to fuck something up, otherwise you got this.”

“Do I want to know where you got this?”

“Depends. Do you want plausible deniability?”

“Do I ever?”

“I may or may not have intercepted a couple of packages meant for King House.”

“Tampering with mail is a felony,” I say with a smirk.

“So is half the shit I did before lunch today.” He shrugs. “Felonies are like Pokémon at this point, and I gotta catch them all.”

“You’re well on your way to a full set.”

“I don’t get him,” I tell my brother. “Nothing about him makes sense. He’s this genius hacker, but literally handed you a way to hack him. He has incredible situational awareness and knows I’m following him, but hasn’t bothered to alter his routes or even close his curtains. He’s rich as fuck, but reads books about socialism and used his skills to take down a fake charity.”

“He’s a walking contradiction.”

“There’s enough of a pattern that I know the chaos isn’t random. He’s created so many loops and turns and dead ends and fake pathways it’s like trying to solve a Rubik's Cube while navigating a labyrinth blindfolded, and you still have to solve three riddles and pull a sword out of a stone before you can escape.”

“Is that normal?” I ask.

“You’re asking me about normal?” Jace grins. “Sorry, don’t know her.”

We’re completely identical, down to the few birthmarks we have. Not even our parents can tell us apart when we don’t want them to. When we were ten, we asked our mother if she ever mixed us up as babies because we assumed she had some sort of mom power and would know which one of us was which. She admitted that they mixed us up so many times that it’s possible we’ve been living as each other our whole lives.

"Tell me about the attackers. You couldn’t tell they were zombies by looking at them?”

"Visually, it wasn’t possible to spot.”

“Could they be newly dead? Their bodies hadn’t had time to do the dead people thing.” I shudder. They say in the empire across the sea, it’s traditional to always burn the dead, not just when there’s pestilence. Frankly, that’s beginning to sound like a custom we should have adopted.

“Sometimes you people act like cops have never done anything for you.”

“For decades, your people went into every gay bar you could find, beat the shit out of most of the people inside, and then published their pictures in the paper so you could ruin their lives,” I said. “If you’re genuinely interested in working on this relationship, Detective, you might want to start with some better manners.”

“Your zipper is down,” Dad said casually.

I looked down quickly… only to find my zipper perfectly zipped. I huffed. “We’re just friends.”

He nodded knowingly. “That’s what I do for all my friends. I hang out near their jobs, hoping to catch a glimpse of them. When that fails, I buy them lunch and hand deliver it. And by deliver it, I mean—”

“If you’ve ever loved me at all, you won’t finish that sentence."

Daniel is starting Grave Situation
As I look at the rows of faces seated before me, some excited, some angry, some blank, I wonder how the fucking fuck my life came to this.

Oh yeah, it’s because I have a smart mouth and don’t know when to shut up.

“Welcome, all, to the Academy of Mages. You’re here because, for reasons nobody has ever been able to determine, you were born with a talent, and it happens to be magic.”

“I’m doing exactly what you said to do, but it’s not working, Nick!” Gabe shouted.

“Are you?”

“Yes!”

"Mmhmm, ’kay ’kay, watch.” He hit three buttons. “Wow, look at that. It’s exactly what I said to do.”

“No, you said ‘Hit the pound sign'. You hit the hashtag button.”

Nick blinked like ten times in a row as if his whole brain needed to reboot.

“We’re really trusting these guys to find a serial killer?”

What's Left of Me (Saint Brothers #4)

Daniel
Daniel is 46% done with Coddiwomple
I wanted more paddleboarding with my brothers, more chatting with Laura while she baked. I wanted more nights with my dad in his recliner watching TV, and me on the couch working on my travel book. More of me fixing things with him watching over my shoulder, telling me how to do what I already knew how to do, and irritating me to death. Oh wait, that’s a different list—the Let’s Have Fucking Less of That list.
