The bell above the door chimed, slicing through the warm, sugary air. “You’re late. I was about to give your usual to Mrs. Gable. She’s been eyeing that last almond croissant for ten minutes.” “Don’t you dare. My alarm decided to take the morning off. I need that croissant like I need a lead on the missing garden gnome.” “The one from the historical society’s lawn? You’re investigating that?” “A serious crime has been committed. A ceramic patriarch is missing. His wife, the garden flamingo, is distraught. Besides, I saw fresh tire tracks in the petunias next to the plaque.” “I heard a rumor it was old man Henderson. He never did approve of that flamingo. Said it lowered the town’s tone.” “Henderson drives a 1983 station wagon. These tracks were from something much… sportier.” “Well, my advice is to eat your croissant first. No one solves a mystery on an empty stomach.”
