Mario and Karen arrived at the store early that morning. Weekends were extremely busy due to the end-of-season sales. Winter gear and coats were flying off the shelves as fast as Karen could restock them with the spring line. Tee shirts replaced sweatshirts. Mountain bikes filled the racks, and skis were marked down by twenty percent. Tents, assembled on the sidewalk by Rick, were set up as display models.

The annual April street dance and festival would be held that weekend. Tourists from all over were out in droves, spending money in the retail shops and restaurants. Karen barely had a chance to think about anything other than helping customers. She finally had a free minute to call Vic at lunchtime, when the store activity slowed down, but needed somewhere private to talk. She scanned the store. There was Mario. He was going over the features of a mountain bike with a very enthusiastic customer. The kids were at the cash register, and Rick busied himself setting up more displays. Karen had about ten minutes, tops. She slipped into the office and closed the door. The window facing out over the store provided her with enough notice in case anyone came her way.
