Jack, who had been watching the exchange with growing amazement, finally found his voice. "What in the world? I've never seen so many clusters at once! Liam, what's this about?"
"Don't shout, idiot!" Liam said, glancing at the guards nearby. "It's... a commission. Sebastian ordered some items from me."
Jack's eyebrows shot up. "How many items did you order?" He asked Sebastian incredulously.
Liam shook his head, and Jack seemed to understand the need for discretion. He nodded but added, "You're filling me in later, though."
Sebastian was enjoying the exchange, but he had no time to lose. If Richard had been taken prisoner, he couldn't set the Marauders' building on fire and be done with it. He needed to free him first. Anyway, the rune master was curious about something else.
"So, what's with all the extra security? And why are you two holed up together?"
