Chapter ten

The next day was decently busy for them. All of them, as it turned out. Except Tabby, though she did her part, hanging out with them whenever they went anywhere. Howard was sore enough that he decided not to exercise that day. He had to be as sharp as possible in three days.

The trick with Kerry, the day before, had actually worked blindfolded, after a while. She let him hit the ground four times out of six, then managed every catch after that. Even when he stayed on the roof of the metal shed, and tossed a small mirror with a light on it at her. That one had come out pretty interestingly. They all got the idea.

Denis was the one that mentioned it, at the time. Going into how, if Howard couldn’t get out, he might have to find some way of making the whole thing work, anyway.

After eating some oatmeal, with a couple of eggs in the morning, they started right into work. That meant taking Den out into town. Katie had things to do, being a busy woman as a rule. Kerry, being smart and clever, worked out that having two people from the cooking show she was on out at the same time might get them recognized. Which wasn’t a horrible thing. They were on the West Coast, after all. On the day of the break-in they needed to make certain they had good alibis in place. Well, it wouldn’t matter for him, since no one knew who he was, but the rest of them needed to have some good disguises going on at the time. That and a few dozen people getting them on their newfangled camera phones.

It meant walking into the little town on foot, even if his right knee was decently sore. They were dressed in jeans and t-shirts, since the day was warm enough. Not hot, though the sky was a nice blue.

Brian remarked on it, pulling at the front of his red shirt. It had been his uniform the day before, but had been altered to show off his lean form by Kerry. They all had that going on, except Howard, at least in the jeans department. His had come second hand originally, so left some room in the back. Brian looked nearly like his behind had been painted into the things. Denis was a bit better than that, but Howard kind of had to figure that part was down to being the girl’s brother and her not wanting to spend fifteen seconds staring at him there.

“It looks like it’s going to get hot, later today. High eighties, anyway. We should get some swim gear and go to the beach later on.”

That sounded a lot like playing around to him, but he nodded, instead of putting the guy down.

“Day after tomorrow? If the weather holds. We’ll want to be seen then. It isn’t perfect, but most people won’t put things together with us all being seen here at the right time.
