“Musical instruments? If they can’t find this container, why not just buy replacements?”
“The musicians say these are special and they need them for the big party coming on Halloween. That’s why I have to get that container.”
“I know someone who knows someone who knows about a thing or two about musical instruments, so what we can do is make up a container like what you’re describing, then load it up, then deliver it. In the meantime, buddy, you better make plans to skip this town and hide for a long, long time.”
