We'd better get out of here fast," Nadia says, "before anyone notices."
"Or before our conman friend wakes up," Autumn says.
"I doubt Mr. John Smith will be overjoyed when he wakes up and I, for one, would rather not be around to witness it. I also lifted his mobile phone and his wallet," I tell them with a certain amount of pride. "Hopefully, it means that he won't be able to contact you again, Chantal."
"Is his driver's license in his wallet?"
I flick through the pockets until I found it. "Yes. His real name is Felix Levare."
"Could be another alias." Chantal takes it from me. "But I'll keep that as a little extra insurance anyway," she says.
There's a wad of cash in the wallet which I help myself to. "This can all go to a deserving charity," I say, then throw the wallet and the mobile phone into the lake after his car. They also splash satisfyingly and then sink without trace. I press the money into Autumn's hands. "Take it and buy some chocolate for your druggie kids."
She takes the cash and pockets it. "Thanks.
