"Morning, the oven's still humming, but I swear I heard a whisper from the back." "Whisper? In a bakery? You must've imagined it among the rising dough." "Maybe, but the flour dust settled in a perfect circle on the counter." "That's odd. The last time I saw a circle, it was a clue left by the thief." "Do you think someone slipped it in with the rye?" "Possibly. The rye shipment arrived today, and the driver vanished before noon." "Vanished? You mean he left without a word?" "Exactly. And the security camera showed a shadow linger near the pantry." "Shadow? Could be the cat, but cats don't know how to use a keypad." "The cat's collar has a tiny tag—'Milo'—and it jingles when it moves." "Then maybe it's not a cat at all. Something else is prowling our shelves." "I found a torn piece of parchment tucked inside a bag of scones." "It reads, 'Meet me at the old oak when the bell rings twice.'" "The town bell rings at twelve and six. Which one is closer to closing?" "Six. That's when the last customer leaves, and the lights dim." "If we stay until then, we might catch the whispering thief in the act." "Let's keep the doors locked and the coffee brewing—no one likes cold mystery."
