Tricks, Cons, & Bamboozles | Wednesday (8/31) | Period 1

There was a Perky Goth sitting cross-legged on the desk, eating a black licorice whip and watching people come in. There was also a fluffy gray Russian Blue sitting next to her, wearing a jaunty fedora. Somehow. If you looked closely, you'd notice that he was also wearing a tracking anklet.

"So," Kenzi said, when it seemed like most everyone was there. "I'm already sick of introductions, and it's only Wednesday. The last time this class was taught, the teacher didn't make us do them then, either." She reached out to scratch behind Mr. Caffrey's ears.

"So I'm going to take a page from his book, and say: lie like a rug. Like a rug squished flat under a 200-metric-tonne weight. Convince us you're someone you are completely not. And we'll try to trip you up by asking questions."

"OR. You can tell us how you'd pull off the greatest con or theft in history, using just yourself, a cat, and possibly a rubberband."

"Go!"

"Sorry, I can't let you forge his signature after announcing that you would," Bruce said. "I'm sure they'll listen. I can be pretty convincing."

Kenzi looked shocked, just shocked. "I have full authority! Maybe you should record your meeting with them. Just to be sure it went okay."

Actually, now she was kind of hoping Bruce would do that, so she could see how good he was at it.

"Sure thing," Bruce said. "I'll drop it off at Mr Caffrey's office."

He wasn't going to do that. But he did start heading toward the door. He was committing to the lie.

Kenzi cackled with delight, leaning over to watch him go. "Tell the moose I said hi!"

The moose had no idea who she was.

"I will," Bruce said, strolling out the door.

If anyone peeked into the hallway after him to see where he was going, they would have seen an empty hallway. It was their fault for not watching more carefully.
