Tricks, Cons and Bamboozles | Tuesday | Period 4
Today, the Tricks, Cons and Bamboozles students had been handwavily told to meet in the Danger Shop, which was set up to mimic an enormous museum, complete with (simulated) guards stationed at the exits and patrons milling about, not to mention the (imitation) priceless art hanging on the walls.
"Welcome to your final exam," Neal said as the students made their way into the room. And was it a trick of the light, or did he look distinctly more excited about today's class than usual?
"This is the Antwerp Royal Museum of Fine Arts. But we're not here to sightsee." Obviously, Neal, because it was a final exam. Though it wasn't too hard to figure out what he was going to be doing while the students were working, was it? "You'll be working in three teams. I'll number you off, and the team to successfully complete the assignment will receive the highest grade."
Quick, everyone hurry to stand two people away from Kenzi. Or not.
"Somewhere in this museum," he continued, "there's a Fouquet painting called 'Virgin and Child.' It's very expensive and has a lot of security, and it spent the morning being cleaned, so it's not currently on display. Your job, as a team, is to figure out where it's being kept, get past security and the various alarm systems, and retrieve it and bring it to the south exit by the end of the class period without being spotted or leaving any prints."
It was a good thing this class period was as long as it was, because he had a feeling it could take a while.
After numbering off the students, he held out a bag of supplies, explaining, "Each team will receive one pair of gloves and a map of the museum. Any questions?"
He grinned. "Go."

Re: Talk to Neal
Nothing to see here!
"Except, if you turn into an animal? You might want to stay off high places. For when you stop. Just in case."
Re: Talk to Neal
Yeah, he was laughing.
"That," he said, "is sound advice. Mind if I ask what, uh, what happened?"

"Well, that's convenient," he said with a slight grin. "And you look unharmed! Imagine that."
Re: Talk to Neal
Why didn't she have Peter the FBI Guy's number? Why?
Re: Talk to Neal
"Maybe once or twice," Neal said cautiously, a tiny smirk tugging at his lips. "Nothing I couldn't talk my way out of."
It was true. He'd once talked his way out of a citation from the French police... and that was before he'd actually learned the language.

Re: Talk to Neal
Whatever. It was amusing.
"Noted," he said dryly. "And you can guess away, but I will not be sharing, thank you very much."
Re: Talk to Neal
Pfftt, vague. She could do vague. When absolutely necessary.
Re: Talk to Neal
Keep dreaming, Kenzi.
