Chapter Thirteen

It seemed that boys were fascinated by toys, no matter what world they lived in, Sabrina realized.

Once everyone in the two apartments was awake, dressed and functioning with or without caffeine, Damian served up a late lunch—two huge trays of sandwiches and subs, deli cuts, cheeses, fruit and veggies. All of it was finger food and all of it was served on the flat top of the ancient old gramophone against the wall next to the windows, because the table was taken up by bags of gear, equipment and an array of weapons that would have gotten everyone in the room instantly arrested, if a cop had seen it.

Riley and Talia were both hunters, yet they sat on the sofa while Sabrina sat in the armchair and Chloe lay on her blanket on the floor between them. The men all gathered around the table, pawing through and examining Jake’s gadgets and gear. Jake explained the various functions of the netting and fold-away knives, the anti-venom spray and more.

Sabrina only half-listened. She wondered if anyone else in the room realized the toys were all the products of advanced research and tech development, the sort of stuff that came out of experimental labs. It was the sort of weaponry for which governments paid billions to take off the market, so no other country except them could acquire it.

Sabrina had supervised the financing of such deals more than once. It seemed odd to see such products put to such strange uses. Jake had applied some very lateral thinking to skew the end-product to this highly specialized application.

Talia was glancing over now and then. Mostly, she concentrated on eating the enormous amount of food on her plate.

“You don’t want to check out the weapons, too?” Sabrina asked her.

Talia shrugged. “There’s no point.”

“They could help you hunt the gargoyles.”

Talia’s smile was sour. “It’s not like we could ever afford to buy that sort of shit.”

“A sword edge does the job, anyway,” Riley added.

Talia nodded. “Exactly.” She glanced at Sabrina. “Look at you. You’re earning lots, got the nice clothes and stuff that goes with it, yet you spend all your time on the job. You’re probably feeling guilty because you’re not there right now.”

Sabrina pressed her lips together. She was fighting off nagging sensations of guilt and worry about not being at the office.

“We can’t work the sort of job that brings in the money to buy things like that,” Talia said, glancing at the table. “We have to stay fluid. It’s not like demons clock off at five like you do.”

Sabrina shook her head. “Nine to five isn’t the only way to make money.”

Talia laughed. “No, there’s swing shift and graveyard shift, too. A woman’s gotta sleep sometime.”

“No, I mean there are ways to make money that don’t involve any sort of job where someone pays you to do their work for them,” Sabrina said patiently.

Talia just stared at her.

“She’s talking about passive income,” Jake said, from his place at the corner of the table.
