RE: A Perfect Crime (TWS)

Suddenly, I was struck by the perfect idea.
"Kid, you're doing a solid job so far. I've got something else important I need you for, though."
I dragged the kid down to the parking lot.
"I need you to wait here, and when someone arrives, I need you to check that they have a valid parking pass. I also need you to write down what brand of hat they're wearing, if any, and then see if you can rearrange the letters in those hats to spell something illegal. We've been having a lot of trouble with those subversive hats lately, and I wouldn't be surprised if they had something to do with this case."
I left before the kid could ask any questions. Then I clocked in for the day. If I was going to be sneaking around a Council-licensed speakeasy, I couldn't do it on the books.
Instead, I headed home. I needed to be someone else for the evening, and I had to think about just who that was going to be.
Who was I going to pass myself off as at the Crone's place?

There's no reason for this | Or this | Death is inevitable | You can't challenge fate | The smallest change | I'm overwhelmed
I'm serious | It makes perfect sense | Easy as ABC! | I can't even explain it | Cleaning up someone else's mess
I suck | I rule | I've got it made | Really, I'm serious | This bugs me | It's all lies | I want to believe | Beauty is a curse
