“When, at the end of the show, the man flew out of the cannon and sailed across the whole circus tent into a big net, Philip and Emery scooted. They knew they needed to beat the crowd leaving the tent. They had only twenty-four minutes before they had to meet Philip’s father.
“Make sure we don’t run into your father as we leave,” Emery said, trying to keep up. An elephant walked in front of them, and the boys paused outside the tent of the gypsy.
They watched a woman step outside, pause, and pat... the front of her dress. She spun in a circle, looking around on the ground. The elephant passed, and the boys hurried on to Van Kirk Street.

Philip turned to his friend.
“We can get it. I should go ahead?”
“Yeah. You know where you put the box, not me.”

Emery went on, “I’ll keep an eye on the old lady.”MoreLess
