The scent of cinnamon rolls and fresh sourdough hung thick in the air of the little bakery on Main Street, where flour dusted every surface like fresh snow. Morning light spilled through the wide front windows, catching the steam rising from the display case of fruit tarts. "You sure it was her necklace you found under the muffin trays this morning?" "Positive. That antique locket with the cracked clasp. She never took it off, not even when she was rolling out dough for the last batch of croissants." "And you're saying the police think it just fell during the bustle of the Christmas rush? After old Mrs. Harlan vanished mid-shift yesterday?" "They do. But look here—see the tiny smudge of raspberry jam still on the chain? She only ever used that jam for the special customer orders she kept in the back fridge. Orders no one else knew about." "Orders that someone might have wanted locked away forever." A rolling pin clattered softly against the marble counter. Outside, a bicycle bell dinged as the postman rode past the blue-and-white awning. "I checked the register log too. Cash drawer was short by exactly the amount she always set aside for those private deliveries. Not a coin more." "Then we need to talk to that new part-timer who was on the closing shift. The one who keeps glancing at the alley door like he's expecting knock."
