It was an uphill job trying to get funds for the charity and Pippa took it as a personal failure if the set targets were not reached. I saw her chatti...ng to Hugo Masters and Carole Peters, two of her closest friends from university, and I wandered over. Although Carole could be a bit of a bitch I generally got on OK with her; while I knew that Hugo was in love with Pippa! She didn't know it, but Hugo knew I knew; however I couldn't fault him in his taste of women and we got on as well as could. “Who would volunteer for that?”“Maybe my sis,” Brenda suggested. “She’ll be in town for summer break in a few weeks.”Though by then you’ll probably be Master’s hypno-slut like me, but you don’t need to know that.“A few weeks!” Katie exclaimed.Brenda shrugged. “You got any suggestions? I don’t want to just ask someone we can’t trust. What if they can use the triggers on this video on us?”“Okay, okay,” Katie resigned. “We’ll wait. I’ll just avoid the video and Master Boratus until then.” * The. Sherry entered the room quietly.I smiled and asked, "Are you nervous?"Sherry nodded. "Yes," she answered in that same monotone.The truth serum was still in effect."Truth serum off."Sherry blinked her eyes and looked very confused. "How did I get in here?"Oh, shit! That was another side-effect of the tickets. Sherry was in the living room when I handed her the ticket, and she was now in the bedroom.Quickly, I went to the drawer where I my tickets were stashed, pulled off a ticket and handed it. A few minutes later a signal passed down the rope and Sir Truven, went up.They worked until the rain stopped and thunder could only be heard in the distance.They had a line with knot signals in it that they sent down. One knot meant they had a way in (presumably the trapdoor) and that everyone should come up. Two knots meant that they needed Wilvern to try for the privy window. Three knots meant send equipment and weapons up.The line had a series of three knots and then two knots so Rolly tied.
