Page 6 of Kane

It was his way of having a palette cleanser.

A blow out.

As long as he had it under control, that was all that mattered.

‘Hey, Kane, I made you this,’ McCall said, walking over towards Kane with a big mug of coffee. ‘You look like you could do with a hit of the old caffeine.’

Kane smiled.

He definitely was grumpy, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t appreciate his friend’s efforts to cheer him up.

‘Thank you, bro,’ Kane said. ‘I had a latte on the way over. But you know these hipster places, right? Never strong enough.’

McCall nodded in agreement.

The pair of them had joined the fire service on the same day. McCall was the same height and build as Kane, and it often meant that things got damned competitive when it came to physical exercises. They had even traded blows on more than one occasion during their training.

But that was all water under the bridge.

Kane and McCall were true friends now.

Bonded by more than just their jobs.

If it wasn’t for the fact that both were Daddy Doms, there might even have been a spark of chemistry there too. But, of course, that just wasn’t going to happen.

‘Okay, so I’ve got a favor,’ McCall said, running his hand through his strawberry blonde hair. ‘You should know by now that a cup of Joe doesn’t come without a price.’

Kane rolled his eyes.

Of coursethere was going to be something required in return.

‘I should have known. Whatever. Shoot,’ Kane said, standing up and taking a sip of the strong, black coffee. ‘As long as it doesn’t involve swapping my free weekend, I’m down.’

McCall laughed.

‘No, nothing that serious,’ he said, his rough stubble looking extra thick. ‘My email has been hacked. Again. Any chance you could get back into it? I’ve got some… personal… things on there. You know, like… pictures of my dick? I really don’t need them getting online.’

McCall blushed.

He was very tough and macho, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t immune to feeling embarrassed like the next man.

Kane couldn’t help but tease McCall. This was classic. Probably a disgruntled ex or something along those line. And it would be very easy for Kane to sort out too.

Kane had a side hustle as a computer expert.

He had been fascinated by computers since the day his father brought home the first family desktop PC, way back in the day.

Kane had taken to it like a duck to water and maintained his interest in all things electronic right through childhood and now as an adult.

Specifically, Kane had a talent for hacking.

He would never use his skills to steal, cheat, or cause harm. He wasn’t that kind of hacker at all. Kane was what was known as a White Hat Hacker. In short, a hacker who used his powers for good. If an institution had weak online security, Kane would report it to them anonymously to ensure that they weren’t hacked by someone less moral than him.

It gave Kane a lot of satisfaction.

While it didn’t come with the same personal risk to life as being a firefighter, it was another way that he felt he could contribute to society.

Oh, and if it meant he could help his buddies out too? Well, that was an added bonus.
