Alice #9

A pedestal rose up next to Alice from the floor. Atop, on a clear plastic plinth was a narrow, black, choker-style necklace. She picked it up.

"Caitlin, I'd like you to wear this."

"What is it?"

"I can't guarantee that Mr Witherall, and Mr Bastion, will be able to get to the council's employees in time. So this will give you a link with Dormouse directly, and he'll get you to safety. It has a few other functions as well to keep you safe, but the less others know about them, the better." She smiled.

"Thank you Alice. Thanks."
