Some aspects of Vivian's plans were risky, but that couldn't be helped. Any escape plan was bound to be. 

"Let's try it," I said cautiously, making a note to myself to email the invitation to the Team Leader. I was in no hurry to visit him in person, not after he had threatened me. In truth, I was considering killing him myself if he ended up asleep at the table. Any oaf who threatened me deserved nothing but suffering!

"Just how strong are your pills?" I asked. It was possible that some of my servants were loyal to a third party and would be inclined to wake up my guards if they could. I had no intention of letting such scum endanger my plan. If things went poorly, I had to be prepared to kill everyone here, perhaps even Vivian. The entire mansion might go up in flames. I had to place my trust in the necklace - with its help, any amount of destruction was within reach.
