As Gina approached Pearl Blue the next morning, she was greeted by the mouthwatering smell of honey and cinnamon coming from the bakery next door. She followed the scrumptious odor into the bakery.

A blonde, angular woman was filling shelves with round loaves of warm bread and long jelly-filled strudels. The woman’s smile was welcoming. “What can I get for you?”

Gina held out her hand in greeting. “Hi. I’m Gina. I’ve been here a few times—you may remember me. I just want to tell you that I’ll be opening a new nightclub next door soon.”

The woman’s welcoming smile faded. “I’ll tell you right now, right to your face. I will hold you responsible for any damage your customers do to my property.”

Taken aback, Gina said, “I don’t expect there to be any trouble.”

“We’ll see about that. You keep that riffraff in line, or I’ll give you and that Chinaman plenty of trouble.” She turned her back.

Old bat, were the first words that came to Gina’s mind. What had brought that on? Not wanting to make an enemy, she said, “I’m sorry you had problems in the past. I expect my customers to be, umm, better behaved.” She clamped her mouth shut and left.
