You cut the purple wire.

The countdown clock ticks 5… 4… 3… 2… 1…

The bomb beeps rapidly and then… silence.

And then an EXPLOSION! KA-BOOM!

Confetti and wax lips blast out from the bomb, like a nightmare piñata! The bomb releases hundreds of packets of the unloved wax candy into the surrounding crowd.

“Haven’t you ever heard of a lip bomb,” whispers The Unlikeable Puppeteer into your ear. But when you turn around he’s gone. You didn’t even get a chance to tell him how much you hated his pun.

No one was injured. A reporter approaches you with a cameraman in tow.

“How are you going to stop The Unlikeable Puppeteer?” asks channel 11 reporter Katie “Questions” O’Brien.

“That’s easy,” you reply. “When he whispered into my ear just now, I stole his wallet. Hear me, Unlikeable Puppeteer: if you want your $32 and AAA Membership Card back, come find me.”

You now have the upperhand in the fight for justice. Or, if he never claims the wallet, you can use his Nordstrom Rack gift card to buy yourself a less itchy outfit.
