Murder She Baked: A Plum Pudding Murder Mystery Page #5

---

on the rest of the world,

you know?

The French bakeries are amazing.

You would love it.

You would fit

right in over there.

Thank you. One day.

You know, I'm surprised

you didn't have dessert.

Or is it like, um,

asking an artist

to finish

another painter's canvas?

Um, not at all!

In fact, I love

chocolate souffle.

Well, I hear they finish it here

with grand Marnier.

That we do!

Oh, it's very tempting,

but no, thank you.

Oh, thank you.

Actually, if you don't mind,

I'd like to stop by

the crazy elf tree lot

to pick up my check,

before it's too late.

If you want,

afterwards we could stop by

and have some ice cream.

Sounds wonderful.

I bet you're a "rocky road"

kind of girl.

I am!

We have so much in common.

I'm sorry...

I think that was my mother.

Are you sure?

Um...

I'm pretty sure it was.

I-I'm pretty sure

that was my mother.

Hey, hey. Hand me your phone.

- Why?

- Oh, great.

Oh, don't--

Oh, no, 'cause then we'll see.

See? It's ringing. It's her.

Okay. Stop it. Stop it.

Sorry, but I...

Guess now you know--

She's dating.

Well, good.

Right? Good for her.

I mean...

I hope she finds someone

she can be happy with.

I really do.

All the lights

and the music are still on?

I thought all this stuff

was supposed to

be shut down by 9:00.

Well, it's only 9:30.

Really? Oh.

Crazy elf is crazy!

That thing scares me every time.

And so are my prices!

Well, maybe he's in here.

- Let's check, okay?

- Sure.

Mr. Jaeger?

Mr. Jaeger, it's Hannah Swensen,

I just came by to pick up my--

What is it?

I think he's passed out drunk.

Look, there's a bottle.

Mr. Jaeger?

Hello?

Oh, you're right,

he looks passed out cold.

Hey.

Hey...

Oh, Norman, I don't know

if you should--

He's dead. He's dead.

What?

I...

It's okay, okay?

I'm gonna call the police.

Okay. Okay.

We shouldn't

touch anything. Um...

Yeah, hi, uh,

I need an ambulance

and-and the police, please.

There's a... There's a dead man.

He's-- he's dead.

Well, I'm not sure.

He's bleeding

and he's on the ground.

I can-- yes.

Yes, I can stay on the line.

I just--

Well, you have to understand

that we--

I'm sorry. I have no idea.

I'm not a police officer.

You just--

You need to send an ambulance

and the police now.

I'm not sure.

He's on...

On main street

at the crazy elf tree lot.

Yes. I have no idea.

He's-- he's dead.

Yes, I'm sure he's dead.

You need to send someone now.

All right,

so there he is, huh?

Let's get that processed.

Okay, so what were you, uh,

what were you even doing here,

to begin with?

I just came to pick up my check,

it's what was in his hand.

When you got to the tree lot,

just describe

everything that you saw.
