Ah, I can see your back to business, and we have coded hints as to who you might be assassinating next! A diversion, huh? I wonder why you'd need one of those?

The diversion
Partners in Rhyme had second billing on the board outside the Montreal theatre, a deliberate choice so as to divert attention away from them and to the headline act: Kim Young-One who was a transgender politco-comedy act about a chunky dictator who liked playing with his missiles.
"It's better when we're top," said Cecil, sounding dejected.
"The police have started turning up when we have star billing," said Katto, "and they're all poor so it's a waste of audience space. And Kim's so off his rocker it's diverting; he said he's going to threaten to blow up the audience tonight!"

Greg - yes, well, you just keep wondering... :P

Hah, I feel as though that comedy act would do quite well these days. Throw in some Trump and you've got a worldwide tour that's bound to sell out.
