    Summary

    “If you’re here for something honest and respectable, I’ll eat my guns piecemeal,” said Jesper. He scrubbed his face. “How long have you been telling those poor girls about your sick mother in Oldendaal?”
    “It was Zierfoort, actually.”
    “I don’t care where it was! What are you doing?”
    “I thought I wasn’t supposed to involve you in my schemes anymore.” said Kaz petulantly, glancing in the mirror to rearrange his jacket.
    “Kaz, you playing the victim is about as natural as a flock of lime-green flamingos, so don’t bother,” said Jesper. “Is it a heist? A blackmail job? Gathering information?”
    “Who said it was just one thing?” said Kaz, straightening his cuffs with two brisk jerks. “This place is the playground for the children of the rich and prosperous, Jes. I could have a million reasons for being here. But since you’re here for reasons both honest and respectable, I can assure you I’ll stay out of your way–”

    Summary

    “I don’t know how he knows, but I can trust him,” said Inej firmly. “His information will be sound.”
    “It better be," said the Heartrender. "You’re still human like every other man, Brekker. I could crush your heart in a second.”
    Kaz looked blankly at her for a moment.
    “You sound so sure,” he said.
    --
    Kaz gets wind of a planned ambush. With precisely zero good grace, he goes to help Inej and her crew.
    In Lij.
    He's about as happy about it as her crew are; which is to say, not happy at all.

    Summary

    “HAND OVER THE RAVKAN, OR WE WILL BREAK IN.” A man wearing the silver badge of a stadwatch captain bellowed at the wrong window.
    “Like hell you will.” Brekker growled to himself, standing reluctantly and limping to the window.
    Inej just shook her head.
    “They won’t have any intelligence. Kaz is just the prime suspect whenever anything goes wrong for the Merchant Council.”
    The prime suspect sighed deeply, shoved the window open with his cane, and leant out.

    ----

    Inej acquires a rather valuable political prisoner. Kaz acquires a burning hatred for him.

    Summary

    After a long moment, Kaz exhaled and leant back in his chair.
    "I can have him dead by tonight," He said, “If you don’t mind the Van Eck household getting involved.”
    Inej stared at him.
    “That's it? You’ll help?” She asked dubiously.
    Kaz frowned.
    “Would I have bothered to listen if I wasn’t going to?”
    "No 'what's in it for me'? What happened to never something for nothing?”
    "Well, it’s lucky for you that there's already something in it for me, isn’t it?"

    ---

    Inej needs a powerful man dead. Kaz, busy conducting 'renovations' across the West Stave and feuding with famous stage actors, is glad to have the opportunity to eliminate a threat.

    Summary

    When Damian traces the source of a lethal new party drug to Metropolis University, it only makes sense to go undercover as a student to ferret out the culprits. He doesn't expect to run into Met U student Jon Kent, and he definitely doesn't expect to get mistaken for Jon's boyfriend. But hey, what harm could it do to play along?

    This is going to get complicated fast.
