Shikera sighed, "It's not going to be as easy as that." Turning to Mignon, she directed, "Use the facemask now. Esther is smart so we should be able to see her without anyone knowing."

"How will you do that?" Alan asked, watching the ladies cover their faces once again.

"We will have to meet her inside, in the restroom maybe. I'll need your help to do that, Alan," Shikera replied. Getting a nod from Alan, she continued, "You will have to near her and try to make small talks with her as if she's just a cute young girl you saw."

"Even with the glass between us?"

"Yeah," Shikera nodded. "Esther will pay you attention since she saw you with us. Then tell her to get to the restroom without anyone knowing. Tell her mummy won't see her if she comes with someone else."

Alan picked up his bag and was ready to leave when it dawned on him what he just heard.
