3.19 Floating Away

Cass stood up to get his harness put on. He listened to the security instructions and nodded. Cass took the leviosa pill but didn't swallow it.

Cass walked to the security guard who was holding on to the rope. He said:

"You have done this before, right? Because I've noticed you're not the same guard as earlier."

The guard smiled reassuringly.

"It's going to be okay. All I have to do is hold on to the rope, then when you're done, I'll pull you back. Just like the others."

Cass seemed nervous, but he nodded. He took a step forward and hugged the guard. The guard was surprised.

He became shocked when Cass whispered in his ear:

"If you let go of the rope, I'll make sure you die before those thugs from the casino get you."

Cass pulled back with a gentle smile.

"Thank you for keeping me safe."

The guard felt speechless. Cass swallowed the pill, looking at him, and turned. He jumped and floated.
