21 " Your Sicarius team?” Goodbye frying pan, hello fire. “Yes,” he said proudly. “Out of emotional concern for others, I am acquiring assets to come to y’all’s aid.” He saw the looks on our faces, and his fell. “That was wrong? Dang it. I thought I nailed it this time. I’ll go stall them. "

22 " I will try to be as nice as Matty. But if I fall short—” “How do you fall short?” Selena asked, curious. “How do you fall long? Can I see? Will you show me how? "
23 " Perhaps you have some—”“Gel?” I said. “Nah. Leave it. Looks more boyish.” His hands paused. “Do you prefer this more boyish appearance?” “I prefer that you look more like you fit in at a high school rather than graduating college. "
24 " Ayden saw me and his body slumped. “Oh, thank God.” “Please,” Matthias said. “I told you she’s too hard to kill.” “Aww,” I said. “Thank you.” Matthias offered me a sweet smile. “Just like a cockroach.” "
25 " I’d prefer a debriefing by the professional,” Matthias said. “Rather than one of the idiot’s exhausting, million-words-in-one-breath babbling explanations.” “Hey,” I said. “That is a rare talent.” “Maybe your only talent. "
26 " She’s dying?!” “What?!” “He didn’t say that!” “Let me evaluate the severity of her injuries!” “Dude, get your stupid medical bag.” “It’s not so stupid now that we need it, is it?!” “Shut the bloody hell up and get the bag! "
27 " Like Harry Potter’s cape?” I said. “Yes.” Matthias’s grey eyes gave me a flat look, his voice heavy on the sarcasm. “Just like that. You’re such a moron. "
28 " Actually,” Jayden said, “Not completely unlike the Cloak of Invisibility, although different in that those individuals using these devices wouldn’t become completely invisible. Exactly.” “So nothing like it,” Matthias said. “Moron status secured. "
29 " In what world is Armani here seventeen?” Cristiano shrugged unapologetically. “They feed us better in Italy. "
30 " You need to ratchet down the crazy town. "
31 " Nuh-uh.” Blake shook his head. “Nothing gets trapped in my brain.” No one argued. "
32 " Jayden didn’t take his eyes off me as he put a hand on Blake’s face and shoved him back. “Be gone. "
33 " Blake gave Selena a nudge. “Remember what I taught you, itsy-bitsy babe-ette. "
34 " Ready? We need to find Heather and am-scray.” Armani frowned. “Am-scray?” “Skedaddle. Blow this popsicle stand. Make like a bakery truck and haul buns.” Cristiano blinked. “She means leave,” Ayden said, then put the heel of his hand to his forehead. “Oh my God, now I’m translating Jayden and you.” Jayden grinned. “Outstanding.” “No,” Ayden said. “Not outstanding "
35 " I am not boring!” Something advanced on me. I whirled, arms up. Cristiano stopped and raised hands in surrender. I dropped my defensive stance and my inner spotlight began to fade. Cristiano raised his brows. “After everything she said, calling you boring is what upsets you?” “Yes! "
