"You're positive she isn't going to prom with Aaron?" Lacy asked Max suspiciously over lunch.
He nodded, his mouth bulging with food. A minute later, he answered.
"Benjamin says he's going with Alice Wheatley. I overheard her talking to her friends yesterday; she isn't going at all."
Lacy frowned. That put a wrench in their plans. They were supposed to drug her drink at prom and take incriminating photos in a room at the hotel.
Max did say he had a contingency plan but it left them more open to risk. How were they supposed to grab her without anyone seeing?
He noticed her worried expression and smiled confidently. "Don't worry, my cousin owes me a favor. I'll get him to send extra members of his security force to all three of the nearby subway stations. They're trained to be stealthy; they can tranquilize her and whisk her away in two seconds flat. In such a crowded place, no one will notice a thing."
