You know how some people say that you can tell a dog just by looking at its owner? Well, after meeting Jackman White—it was clear that they were standing in his office.

There wasn’t an inch of the floor that wasn’t littered with empty champagne bottles, cigar ash, scattered bits of lingerie, and enough empty tins of caviar to feed a small army.

Rae picked through it in disgust. “Didn’t he only get in, like, two days ago?”

“The man likes to party,” Devon answered, glancing discreetly away as he moved a rhinestone bra to the side with his shoe. “Something you were given the chance to see up close and personal tonight, if you had so desired.”

“Damn,” she snapped her fingers, “just my luck.”

While Devon checked behind the paintings hanging on the wall for a mounted safe, Rae made a beeline for the desk. It was locked—big surprise—but thanks to Ethan’s conjuring ink, she had only to look at the bolt before the key appeared in her hand.

“Dev,” she called, rifling through the first few files, “I think I have something over here.”

There was a blur of color, then he was kneeling by her side.

“Mallins was right,” he said in mild surprise. “This guy has been bankrolling Xavier Knight operations for the last seven years.”

“You didn’t think he had?” Rae asked, taking out her phone and snapping a few pictures.

“Honestly…” Devon shook his head. “He didn’t seem like the type. The man’s a Texan billionaire. What does he care what a bunch of supernatural English freaks do with their time?”

Rae giggled and continued snapping pictures as he flipped through the files. “He doesn’t have a tatù. I’d have picked it up when I shook his hand.”

“According to the files, neither does anyone in his family. I’ve no idea how he could have gotten involved with something like this.”

She photographed the last page and slipped the memory card into her pocket. “Well, you know who we could ask, don’t you?”

Devon stared for a minute, before abruptly shaking his head. “No, we can’t involve Luke.”

“Why the hell not? He wouldn’t mind.” In the back of her mind, she knew it wouldn’t be fair to ask him.

“We may be his friends, but that’s his job, Rae. I’m sure he’d tell us if we were in any sort of danger, but whether he’s dating Molly or not, we’re on different sides.” He didn’t mention when Rae dated him very, very briefly, but somehow she knew he was thinking it.

Rae scoffed. “If it can help us... it wouldn’t hurt to ask. He’ll say no if it’s information he can’t share.”

Devon shook his head. “We’re not asking.” When Rae opened her mouth, he cut her off before she could speak. “Not to mention, Carter isn’t the only one who’s going to be checking our mission reports from now on. Do you want to be the one to explain to Mallins how we found out confidential Knights information? Risk Luke getting into trouble? Losing his job?”

“Uh…I’ll take a pass.
