Chapter 28: Keep Your Enemies Close

After the poisoning attempt, Sawyer had done everything he swore he would—security was raised, each beverage within the house, including both alcoholic and non-alcoholic were dispensed of and replaced instantly. Unsure of who the perpetrator could’ve been, Sawyer had each staff member searched for any traces of the poison, which was unsuccessful.

As Waverly regenerated and recuperated, Sawyer often came to visit her and once she was fully recovered from both attacks, which thanks to her shifting abilities, was only a few days, they moved their search to either the grand room or Sawyer’s office. During their meetings, they would overlook documents and convolute with Christopher, Katia and the rest of the advisory to hear their opinions, as well as any odd behaviour they observed in either the town or the house.

“I haven’t seen anything, Sawyer,” Christopher stated, his hands rested on the table of the great room. “Nothing’s any different than it was two days ago.”
