Jaxx

“So, the reports you file after a security breach within the public eye are submitted to the district office and then compiled and sent to FCO head office to the risk assessment office. Once they determine if all the T’s are crossed and the I’s are dotted, head office sends an electronic copy here that is printed and filed.

“Yep.” Brant’s focus is completely consumed by the stack of birth registration certificates he’s going through. “At least that’s what’s supposed to happen.”

“So, either someone at the district office altered or shredded them and they never got sent, or the record of those kids was plucked from the system between there and here.”

“No. Every responding enforcer gets a file notification when our cases are approved and sent on to head office. I write down the tracking number and mark it off against my records. The files definitely made it to head office.”

“Frickety-frack.” I scratch the back of my neck. “Okay, well, I asked my dad to run a quick data check through his department to see if those names are listed. If the kids’ powers were recognized early, maybe Fae Rights flagged them.”

Brant’s glare is wholly piss-your-pants hostile. “I swore you to secrecy, Jaguar. Your dad using his company connections to investigate this is the opposite of conducting a low-profile search. What if whoever is behind this gets flagged if his search is detected? He might inadvertently tip our hand.”

“Tip our hand of what? There’s no record anywhere of anythin’ you say. How do we prove there’s wrongdoing if we can’t even prove these kids are real?”

Brant points a finger at me. “You should’ve run this by me first, Jaxx. Whoever is behind this makes people disappear. Poof. Gone. If your dad mentions this to the wrong person—”

“—He won’t,” I say, my chest suddenly tight. “I told him to keep it quiet. He’ll be discreet.”

Brant gives me another ocular version of fuck you and goes back to his birth records. “Our problems are bigger than that anyway.”

Awesome “Yeah? How’s that?”

“Those three kids aren’t the only members of fae society who were never born or registered.”

“No? Who else is missing?”

“No. Not missing, just not who he says he is. There is no record of any Hawk Barron ever being born. The guy’s lying and has been for years.”

Fuckety-fuck. “Maybe it’s a clerical error.”

“Or maybe he’s Darkside and is a sleeper agent rising through the ranks to topple fae diplomacy. Think about it. Is it more likely that he’s a poor street kid who remade himself a billionaire or that he’s got dirty money behind him? Maybe Calli and her bestie stumbled on the money venture Darkside’s been using to fund Hawk’s cover.”

“I don’t believe that. He’s got his issues but—”

“What if choking Calli wasn’t an accident? I was there, Jaxx. That son-of-a-bitch was full-on homicidal and crushing the breath out of her. Maybe that was another attempt on her life from Darkside.”

It’s a good thing I’m sitting down because that possibility makes my legs tremble.
