Calista froze.

Vivienne?

Vivienne was the Specter Healer? How was that even possible? How could she be the Specter Healer?

No way! Absolutely no way!

While Calista was lost in thought, Vivienne curled her lips into a smile. "The lab report from yesterday that I let you get your hands on was meant for your eyes only."

With a flick of her wrist, Vivienne removed the needles from Calista's pressure points.

"You're Mr. B!" Calista gasped, her eyes widening in disbelief.

Hearing the answer she wanted, Vivienne said, "Mr. Wolf, we can leave now; the others should be arriving soon."

Calista grabbed Vivienne's arm, "No, you're not Mr. B. Who are you, really?"

Vivienne shrugged her off with a cool detachment, "You talk too much."

With that, she headed downstairs.

Before Calista could wrap her head around what was happening, Percival knocked her out with a chop to the neck. Dragging her by the leg, he hauled her down the stairs.

"Mr. Wolf, do you always have to be so rough? Can't you find a more subtle approach?" Vivienne clicked her tongue. Jeffrey was still nursing a fracture, Henry wasn't faring much better, and now Calista was being dragged away too.

Talk about brute force.

"It's efficient. I'm not skilled with the needles like you are," Percival replied nonchalantly.

As long as it shuts them up, it works.
