"I'm aware that you're probably angry at Security for this. And I'm pretty certain you are angry at me, personally."
She leans in. "But get this straight. If you assault or injure any member of the Security team, or any other patron, in revenge? You'll be in the cells for months and I, personally, will slap such a geas on you you'll think twice before you blink."

She steps back a pace. Baby seems reluctant to open the cell, but does.
