Now, why would a key to a stolen desk end up behind our raspberry scones?" "Because someone was in a hurry last night. Look at the display case." "The lock is scratched." "Exactly. Whoever dropped it wasn't here for the pastry. They were hiding something." "Or looking for something." "Hand me that piping bag. We have a mystery to solve before the breakfast rush."
