I have to borrow some of our gadgets here Sphinx, if you don't mind." I said and gave the laptop to him. "No problem. Just be careful using them in public." He said and gave the card to our private room. We lost millions worth of gadgets because of the arson in our old hideout. Sphinx just got started buying new stuff. "Okay. How about the black ferrari guy? Any update?" I asked. "Give us more time. Adam's working on that. Sphinx answered. I nodded. "Thank you for the help guys. I a
