The bell above the door chimed, cutting through the scent of cinnamon and yeast. "I was wondering when you'd stop in. Blueberry scone, right? I saved you one." "You're a lifesaver. The usual spot is crawling with out-of-towners and their cameras." "Dreadful. All that fuss over a silly statue. More coffee?" "Please. It’s not just the statue, and you know it. The whole Historical Society is in an uproar. Gertrude Wilkins was in here yesterday, wasn’t she?" "She was. Ordered a dozen lemon bars and complained the whole time about 'modern vandals.' Said someone tried to steal the town charter right from the display case at the library." "Tried?" "The glass was cut, but the document was still there. Odd, don't you think?" "Very. Unless they weren't after the charter at all. Gertrude mentioned the case also held the original blueprints for the old mill bridge. The one they're about to demolish." "You don't suppose...?" "I do. And I think our vandal might just be a preservationist with poor judgment. Pass the sugar, would you? I have a sudden urge to take a walk by the bridge."
