Nick sighed and shook his head and appeared and shrugged in a gesture that, for the moment, appeared to be backing down. If he called the kid's bluff and Alex used his crazy fear eyes, Nick would have to try to pretend they actually worked and it would just be embarrassing for everybody involved. He tried very hard not to smile at the kid's insults towards Hammer. Nick couldn't agree more. He cleared his throat and asked sternly, "You get your stuff back, will you back off his systems? I've got a feeling fixing the firewalls isn't going to stop you." Cater to the kid's ego and maybe if there wasn't any real challenge then he'd stop trying.
