Chapter 11

True to the plan, we swung by the inn and I put the blueberry pies in my refrigerator. Just as we were leaving for part two of our super-sleuthing afternoon, both Macy and Evie jumped into the car in an effort to join our latest adventure.

The Harrison Bakery headquarters just so happens to have a working factory in the back where employees test out their fantastic molds and other baking gadgets while baking up a storm. There are dozens of workstations and dozens upon dozens of bakers whipping out various treats while the products they’re testing are prominently displayed on a table before them.

It looks like a dream job. One that even I might be interested in if I didn’t have the inn to run—and if I wasn’t such a hurricane in the kitchen.

Evie looked the place up on her phone and determined they give two factory tours each weekday. We already missed the morning tour, but we’re almost on the button for the one that takes place this afternoon.

We park out back and follow the signs right into an oversized warehouse that’s light and bright and holds the scent of warm vanilla sugar cookies fresh from the oven.

“Wow.” Evie takes a few steps into the facility. “Mom, you’re going to need a facility like this one day when you start mass producing your baked goods and selling them online.”

Lottie’s chest bounces with a dry laugh. “I don’t have time to brush my hair most days. I don’t know how I’ll ever get to that level.”

Evie slings her arm around Lottie’s shoulder. “That’s what you got me for. Once I graduate from college, I’ll run the internet end of your baking empire. I’d better start poking around to see what secrets I can steal.” She heads to the exact area where one of the employees is herding a group of tourists.

Macy’s upper lip twitches. “I’ll keep an eye on the kid. But as soon as I find me a hot baker, I’m making out with him.”

I roll my eyes. “Please do everyone in this facility a favor and press your lips to a cookie instead. Lottie and I are off to hunt down a suspect.”

“Suspect, huh?” Macy ticks her head to the side. “If he’s cute, give me a buzz. I’ll have my ringer on.” She takes off toward Evie and I shrug over at Lottie.

“What can I say? Macy is a special spicy breed.”

“That’s okay. I’ve been called a special breed myself, mostly from Carlotta. Speaking of which, she and Georgie said they’re planning a surprise for us all tonight.”

The thought makes me moan with a touch of agony. “Sounds more like they’re plotting something. We’ll bring the pies.”

“We should probably bring mace.”

“Touché.”

Lottie and I head to the back wall of the facility where we ask one of the factory workers where we might find Julian and they direct us through a door that leads us to a series of offices.

“Ooh!” Lottie pokes me in the ribs. “There he is.
