doorframe and glanced inside the office. Aiko was sitting at the desk, her fingers flying over the keyboard of the computer.
    “Great.” Wyatt glanced at Aiko and back at Jinx. “Don’t worry, she’s not messing up your bookmarks or anything. She’s just looking for traces of the intruder in the network. We know when they’ve gotten in, but not what they were after.”
    “Not yet.” Aiko spoke from the desk, her eyes never leaving the computer monitor. “They got in through the Wi-Fi. We have one set up with free access to the customers. But we have another one that’s supposed to be closed and secure. Whoever got in cracked the encryption, so now they can come and go when they want. But the catch is, they have to be in range to do so.”
    “Oh?” Jinx asked.
    “Yeah,” Wyatt said. “That’s how I know that Daisy was working with or for someone. She’s not technically inclined. She couldn’t do this on her own.”
    “But she can follow instructions,” Jinx said, frowning.
    “Exactly.”
    “She hasn’t been working at the club for a while,” she said. “Yet the breaches have continued. How do you know she was involved at all? Maybe it’s always been somebody else.”
    Aiko spoke up. “The first breach came from your computer, when you weren’t even in the building. We’ve got surveillance footage from the hallway outside your door. The only person that entered your office at that time was Daisy. Of course, she didn’t know about the hidden cameras.”
    “Right,” Jinx said. “I forgot. You said at lunch that you had her on tape. She wouldn’t have known to watch out for cameras. Only the security team knows about those.”
    Wyatt nodded. “It’s not her we want, it’s the people she’s working with. Jack and I are still hoping I can get Daisy out of all this. Now I’ve got the security team on strict orders to detain her if she shows up on the premises again. In the meantime, they’re on the lookout for anything suspicious, whether it’s an employee or a customer.”
    “The fact is,” Aiko said, “we want them to try again. We still don’t know why they’re hacking into our network. That’s what we really want to find out.”
    “Is that why you’re on my computer?”
    “Yep.” Aiko stopped typing and looked up. “Wyatt set me up with one of his ex-SEAL buddies who works for the NSA now—”
    “Hey,” Wyatt said. “I did not confirm or deny that so—”
    “Whatever.” Aiko waved him off. “I took a peeky-poo at the code in that worm he gave me. Scary stuff man. Witchcraft of the kind only a Spook would use. I may have nightmares. After I steal it, of course.”
    “Of course.” Wyatt sighed. Aiko flipped him the bird and then went back to her typing without missing a beat.
    “Enough distractions you two,” she said. “I’ve gotta finish setting this worm loose, so when they do break in again, we can follow their every move. And you’ve both got your jobs too, so get your hormones out of the doorway and get to work.”
    “Hormones?” Jinx and Wyatt said in unison.
    “You two reek of angst and sexual tension. It’s nauseating. Please, for all our sakes, bone each other’s brains out already, or get the fuck over it.”
    Jinx’s jaw dropped and she stared at her sister, huffing like she was coughing or choking, Wyatt wasn’t sure which. He rested one hand on the doorjamb above her head and grinned at Aiko.
    “Don’t worry,” he said. “We just decided a few minutes ago. We’re gonna take care of the ‘boning each other’s brains out’ tonight. After work.”
    “Well alright then.” Aiko stopped typing, stood from her chair and put her hands together in a slow dramatic clap. “I heartily approve, dear sister, and as a show of thanks…” Aiko sat back down. “I’ll be sure to spend my night here, monitoring the witchcraft ops, while you two get your freak on.”
    “Oh, extra privacy? I like.” Wyatt nodded at Aiko with approval, and then
