The marshals left a guy at the doorman’s station, just as Keegan had suggested. They moved Pete into the other penthouse, too. Pete ordered a bunch of furniture in Keegan’s name, which the Agency paid for, and Keegan charged it as a business expense for “staging.” Technically, it wasn’t a lie. They just weren’t staging the place to sell it.

Keegan didn’t see a moral problem with this. Neither did Cooper, which Keegan found surprising. Pete did, a little bit, but not enough to slam the brakes on it. “It is lying,” he pointed out. “You do have to admit that it’s lying.”

“Not so much, really.” Keegan shrugged. “We are staging it, under the assumption that someone could break in and view it. And since I’m doing it for government-related reasons, mostly, it’s not exactly absurd to see it as a tax write-off.

“It’s better, in fact, because someone who’s watching very closely might notice there was no expenditure on my part otherwise. This way, everything looks entirely above board, and you’re still close by. Close enough, in fact, to just kind of stop on by for a cup of sugar or something.” He grinned and reached out to Pete.

Pete took his hand and let Keegan pull him in. Keegan had just tugged Pete onto his lap when Marshal Cooper, who was actually pretty hot in a homicidal kind of way, cleared his throat loudly. “Still right here, guys. On the clock and everything.”

Pete blushed. Keegan just rolled his eyes. “You remind me a little bit of my brother,” he told Cooper. “Just, bigger, and Black, and with more guns.”

Cooper knit his eyebrows together as he tried to figure out what he thought about that one. “I don’t know if I want to see what Tyler Cunningham would do with a gun,” he said after a long moment. “From what I hear, he wouldn’t need one. A plaintiff took a swing at him once, when he won a case for a defendant.”

“What?” Keegan almost dropped Pete in his rush to his feet. “Who was it? Because I swear to God I’ll rip him limb from limb.”

“Easy there, Alpha Boy.” Cooper’s lip twitched. “From what I hear — I wasn’t there, but my buddy was — he knocked the guy out cold with one punch.

“When the plaintiff woke up, he’d lost six teeth, was in handcuffs, and was the target of six lawsuits for infliction of emotional distress. One for each tooth your brother knocked out, and all of which had just been filed by your brother. It was impressive.”

Keegan ducked his head, feeling a little sheepish and proud all at the same time. “Okay, yeah, that sounds about right for Ty. Don’t tell him I said so, though. It’ll go right to his head, and believe me, no one wants that.” He looked around his apartment. “All right, then. If we’re all set, let’s settle in and make sure we’re all good.”

“Not so fast, hot shot.” Cooper put his hand on Keegan’s shoulder, then pulled it back.
