MM PE interview while interning at M&A

A headhunter approached me and got me an interview with a top-notch MM PE shop. First-round telephone interviews went really well and I got invited for a personal interview at their office. Unfortunately, this interview is on a work day...

Options are: calling in sick, excuse for taking day off or telling the truth. Certainly, I dont want to ruin my chances for a FT at the M&A firm.

What are your thoughts? How to handle this situation?
