Tricks, Cons and Bamboozles | Wednesday | Period 1

[charming_thief]

"So okay. Me and Mr. Caffrey have decided to start simple, with the parts of the con." Kenzi had brought candy for everyone else this time.  Lots of her other classes had food, after all. Plus coffee.

"The roper, the store, the walkaway, the fix; give me examples of each."

Mr. Caffrey was drinking milk-and-coffee out of a bowl again.

Until suddenly he wasn't, and the class was treated to the sight of their actual teacher. Without very much on.

Except the fedora, which he good-naturedly swiped off his own head and held in a spot that needed a bit more covering right now, thank you very much.

He blinked. Even looked surprised for a moment. Then he held out one hand to Kenzi for the clothes she had on hand, and once they were provided, scurried off to change. From halfway down the hall, he called, "Discuss! What she said!"

[[Cowritten, of course, with the fabulous regretiz4suckas!]]

Neal grinned. "You think so?" He and Mozzie were BFFs for life, sure. That said, he would never not be surprised that other people liked him too. They were that kind of friends. "What did you and Moz talk about? He'd probably like you."

Beat.

"Or fear you."

"Um. I might have gotten confused by his messages, and, uh. Just started texting him random stuff?" Kenzi looked sheepish. "I got thrown! Tuesday is Wednesday, what does that mean?"

Neal grinned. Typical Moz. "It's code," he laughed. "Extra credit if you can figure it out, though.

He was so mean.

"Dude!" Kenzi whined, climbing down from her perch. "Now I'm going to be going crazy... You owe Sam snack food, by the way. She helped. Well, you were there. Do you remember that?"

Re: Talk to Neal

"Yep." He'd been a bit distracted by an overpowering need for caviar, but the big stuff had stuck with him. "I'll send her something. Oh, and -- not wanting me to judge you if you couldn't pick the lock in under two minutes? Kenzi."

Amused face!

"I got rattled!" Kenzi protested. "You're intimidating as a cat! Very hard to read!" She pouted. "Caviar."

"We'll do lock-picking next week. Remedial. Just for you."

He was so judging her extra hard.

"Maaaaaaan." Kenzi grumbled, ambling toward the door. "You make me want to go steal a Ferrari. Just to show off." She pointed back at him. "Ice cream. Caviar. COFFEE!"

So he liked nice things! GOD, KENZI.

"Go ahead," Neal offered. Teasingly: "Do you have your liiiiicense?"

Re: Talk to Neal

"I've got one!"

...whether it was hers or not was a point open to philosophical debate.

Re: Talk to Neal

[charming_thief]

Neal was so onto her.

"Whose?"

Re: Talk to Neal

[regretiz4suckas.livejournal.com]

"A person from Canada's. Does it matter too much?" They were also of legal drinking age. And an Aquarius!

Re: Talk to Neal

[charming_thief]

"Nah, not really." Hey, Kenzi was underage and he was on a tracking anklet. Boxed crooks, that's what they were. He shrugged, then grinned as he encouraged her, "Go ahead, steal a Ferarri."

Evil.

"I'll send photos. Tell Mr. FBI Guy I said hi!"

And off she went to cheer herself up!

Only mostly Evil.
