The Mysterious Crumb Trail Leads to the Map
Share
A fictional comedy from CyberBabiez. The characters and events are invented.
Bea discovered crumbs leading across the table and suspected an elaborate snack operation.
She drew a map, carefully marking each crumb. Professor Duck pointed out a crumb on the map itself.
A second trail appeared beside the notebook. Then a third near Bea's sleeve. The mystery was expanding faster than the agency could document it.
Bea accused the room of withholding evidence.
Professor Duck asked what she had been holding while making the map.
A biscuit, said Bea. Purely for professional morale.
They studied the evidence in silence.
The detective had created the trail while investigating the trail.
Bea closed the case as an internal matter.
The agency introduced a new rule: finish imaginary refreshments before drawing conclusions.
Professor Duck added a second rule about checking one's sleeve before accusing an entire room.
