“Today’s soups are chicken noodle, lobster bisque, lentil, and minestrone,” I told a table of the marijuana dispensary’s customers.

“Ask the baker chick if she’ll make some happy pasta,” one of them said and shook a baggie of pot at me.

“Excuse me?”

“Take the bag. You could be making a fortune if you’d expand to more enlightened food,” another person at the table told me.

What was it with everyone trying to bump up business? I wished they would try to bump up someone else’s business. I heard that the steel and coal industries were hurting. Why couldn’t they bother them instead of me?

“This is a soup shop and bookstore,” I said, not taking the bag of pot. “You want soup or something to read?”

“You’re making a mistake,” the first guy warned me.

I did my best impression of Remington’s face when John made him look scary.

“Fine,” he said. “We’ll take three bowls of chicken noodle and one lobster bisque.”

“Okay. I’ll bring challah and butter biscuits right away.”

I went back to the counter, where Bud was taking orders off of the delivery app tablets. I made a platter of bread for the stoners.

“This is fun,” Bud said. “My carpel tunnel’s gone, and I haven’t had one hallucination since I’ve been here.”

“What hallucination did you have this morning that made you run in here?” I asked.

Bud shuddered. “Craziest thing. I hallucinated that I was being chased by two snakes. Nothing says get off the weed than snakes. Am I right?”

I nodded.

“Hey, is it true that you killed a guy yesterday?” he asked.

“That’s exaggerated.”

“So, you killed him a little?”

“He’s not dead. The doctor said he was going to make a full recovery. Eventually.”

As the lunch rush died down, Frances made her fifth trip to the shop. She was less frazzled than she had been, and I wondered if she was getting the hang of the deliveries.

“Psst, Agatha,” she said. “Come outside. I have something to show you.”

“Did someone die?”

“No. I mean, I don’t think so. Did someone else die? You’d know before I would. You’re sort of the Patrick Henry of murder. The killer is coming! The killer is coming! That sort of thing.”

“I don’t know what to say about that.”

“Don’t say anything. Come outside. You need a break, anyway.”

She was right. I put Mouse and Bud in charge of the shop and followed Frances outside. There was a three-wheeled open vehicle that took up the entire sidewalk parked in front of the shop. A large umbrella was attached to it. Frances stood next to the vehicle and gestured like she was a model on a game show.

“What do you think?” she asked.

“What is it?”

“It’s the Deluxe Super Warrior Power Scooter Model EXL. I refinanced my house to buy it. The other scooters tremble in fear when they see me coming. And get this, Agatha. I never ride on the street. Just the sidewalk. I’m showing those bastards who’s in charge. I’m the queen of the sidewalk. Did I say queen? I mean emperor. I’m the
