Now, now, hear me out," Hamish went on. "We don't have to kidnap Garrett. Not if we kidnap the buyer."
"Or distract him," Angus added.
"Like the Bulgari job," Hamish said.
"You mean the job that landed half the DiMarco family in a South African prison?" Kat said.
Angus shrugged. "Nobody said it was perfect.
The Princess and the Pea?" Gabrielle suggested.
"Not enough time," Kat said
"Where's Waldo?" Gabrielle went on.
"No." Hamish recoiled. "I am still not allowed back in Morocco.
That's why we're going to disrupt the lunch," she (Kat) said.
"You know," Angus said, "I've got a little C-four that I've been saving for a rainy--"
"We're not blowing up my company, Angus," Hale said.
"Righto. Carry on, Kitty.
Kat looked at Hale. "I've never heard Marcus talk this much."
"Yeah," Hale whispered. "I'm trying to decide if I like it."
Just then, Marcus took the ruler and struck Eddie in the stomach. "Hale men speak from the diaphragm!"
Hale nodded. "I definitely like it.
He's better-looking then the last vagabond I had to take in," Eddie said, standing and carrying empty bowls to the sink. "I'll give him that."
The insult slid off of Bobby like water. "So, you know, kid, according to thief culture, if you're going to court Kat, you now owe me two dozen goats."
"It's a dozen," Eddie corrected.
"Yeah, but Kat's worth two," Hamish said with a wink.
Through it all, Hale said nothing. Then, finally, he smiled. "I'm afraid I'm all out of goats at the moment, but I've got some ruby cuff links you can have."
"No." Bobby shook his head. "It's goats or nothing."
"Sorry, Kat." Hale shrugged, disappointed. "It was fun while it lasted."
"Don't look at me." Kat threw up her hands. "I'm officially ignoring all of you.
If you don't want to be a victim, don't act like one.
Ally CarterThe older generation sat looking at the younger, and Kat wondered exactly when and how the baton had been passed. She wanted to know if it was too late to give it back.
Ally CarterBut in the end she merely shrugged, knowing at the very least it would be interesting. Knowing, in her gut, it might just be the beginning.
Ally CarterI'll be here when you get back.
