The days went by and suddenly I wasn't so homesick anymore. Being in the DiRusso hostage compound had taught me a few things and the room back at the mansion was actually quite homey now. I quickly got used to operating from the shadows, and pretty soon, I'd amassed a small army of eleven people in high positions to do what I needed from them. Now, you might be thinking, 'Eleven people? Katarina, that's not enough!' Well it was enough for me.
I'm a simple woman. I see someone in a position of power pretending to mind their business, I blackmail. Now that I had all the forces necessary rallied against the DiBiancci's, all I needed was time. Honestly, in moments like these, time seemed like a luxury. Also, it wouldn't hurt if I could turn a few of the guards to mutiny, which I had, but that was at the compound.
