On Monday morning, Perry inspects the casino’s fleet of moving vans. At lunch, Web comes to the casino so that they can exchange information. Web can’t drive the moving van himself because people would recognize him. He suggests Erik, who drove vans for Bucky at the casino internship before Perry was assigned there, but Perry says that Erik can’t be involved.

During the guest presentations on Friday, Perry mentally runs through the roles for “Team Heist Misfits,” which includes her, Pauline, Shense, Lucas, Web, Stormy, Granny June, and Minnie.

At the end of the day, Claire speaks to Perry privately. For the last week of Perry’s internship, she’s being transferred to Tribal Police so that Erik can return to the casino, which needs a driver who has a commercial driver’s license. Perry feels like she’s “disposable.” Perry subtly fishes for information about Lockhart’s trip. Claire tells her how her mother disappeared after getting in a fight with Lockhart. When young Claire overheard this, she told her mother “she should go away so my aunt could be my mom instead” (303). Her mom disappeared shortly thereafter.
