Dirt Nap nods slowly, and opens his eyes, looking at Horatio. "I believe I did hear...something. It was like a restlessness. Unsettled, like. Almost...a grumbling belly." He says.
He nods. "Alright, sir. I want to be true to my word." He says, producing a nondescript, cheap ballpoint pen as if entirely incidental, not making a show of it, but as if he were just drawing out his wallet or something.
"Now, the trick is..." Dirt Nap says, slowly, speaking softly, "...you don't think about the thing you'd like to hide, because...it's not there. It never was. You can't even recall what it was, a trick of the light made it seem like something was there...but there really wasn't anything there atall."
Dirt Nap's hand is empty, in fact it seems like nothing was there in the first place.

1 success

Dirt Nap nods, satisfied.
Horatio can of course contest the effect; it is weak, and easily defeated if actively contested, but he will see that Dirt Nap would be able to effectively conceal the item from those who have no reason to be looking for it.
