The bell above the bakery door chimed, and a blustery draft swept in, carrying with it the scent of fresh rain. A woman in a red coat clutched a handful of flyers to her chest as she shivered. "Ah, to be caught in an April shower." The baker wiped his hands on his apron and gestured toward the steaming mugs behind the counter. "Can I offer you a cup of coffee?" "No, thank you," she said, her voice strained. "Actually, I wanted to ask about the break-in last night. I heard it happened here." The baker's face darkened. "Yes, it did. They stole a few pastries, but mostly just made a mess." "I'm so sorry." The woman hesitated. "I know this may sound strange, but have you noticed anyone lurking around the bakery lately? Or perhaps a new customer who seemed out of place?" "As a matter of fact, I did notice someone." The baker leaned closer. "A man with a blue cap. He came in yesterday afternoon, but didn't buy anything. Just stared at the display case with a creepy grin on his face." The woman's eyes widened. "A blue cap?" she whispered. "That's him! The prowler everyone's been talking about!" "I'm afraid so. I should have called the police then." The baker shook his head. "But I didn't think it was that serious." The woman clutched her flyers tighter. "It's more serious than you know." She took a deep breath. "I'm a private investigator, and I've been tracking this man for weeks. You're not the first bakery he's targeted." "Good heavens," the baker exclaimed. "What can we do?" "If you see him again, call the police immediately." The woman passed a flyer across the counter. "Until then, please keep an eye out for anything suspicious." As the woman left, the bell above the door chimed once more. The baker stared down at the flyer, his heart pounding. He couldn't believe it: a rash of bakery break-ins, a mysterious man with a blue cap, and now, a private investigator. It seemed his quiet little bakery had become a hotbed of intrigue. Determined to do his part, the baker hurried to the window to watch the woman disappear into the rain, vowing to keep a closer eye on his customers from now on.
