Cary pretended to go through his backpack while he waited for his classmates to clear the hallway. He only had a few minutes before he had to move on for the day and wished that people would hurry up. When the coast was finally clear, he walked over to Heather's locker and opened it.
Careful to look like he was at his locker, Cary placed a black tote bag containing a USB drive with her instructions and a ball gray yarn his mom asked him to give Heather on the bottom shelf. He turned to see if anyone had come by and when he realized he was still alone, Cary took out a stuffed pink flamingo from his backpack and put it on top of the tote bag
Satisfied that she would know he had been there, he closed the locker and headed off to meet Mari.
