"What's up with you," the Mayor takes Kande aside and hands her one of her dainty, flowery handkerchiefs she buys by the dozen. "You're sweating like the proverbial pig."

"Oh...nothing," Kande mops vigorously at her forehead and then dabs the handkerchief under her arms and behind her knees. The Mayor frowns as Kande tries to hand it back to her and takes a step back. Kande sighs and tucks it in the waistband of her spandex bike shorts. "I'm just a little jumpy."

"Oh sure." The Mayor nods knowingly and waves at the little crowd gathered around KS's tables. KS is doing the brick taste test again before she opens the obvious note attached. "This brick thing is weird. It almost seems like someone's out to get you."

Kande jumps up on a barstool when a patron taps her on the shoulder and calls for a round of rootbeer at a back table. When she reaches for the pitcher he holds out to her, her hand is visibly shaking. Kande looks around stealthily and then beckons for the Mayor to follow her into the kitchen.

"What's this about, Kande?" the Mayor asks and then her step falters. On the brick wall behind the stove, several Raggedy Ann dolls have been nailed to the brick. "Oh, my. This is obviously the work of a deranged mind." She wheels around. "I'll fine that KS within an inch of her miserable life!"

Kande blocks the Mayor's way, her mouth pinched and her face a ghostly shade of white. "No, no, I know who's doing this."

The Mayor narrows her eyes. "You're scared to death."

Kande mops at her face again with the feminine, soppy handkerchief. Her hair sticks to her face in spiky, Tom Cruise-like girly bangs. "Yes, and rumor has it, she's giddy and can kill puppies."

The Mayor's mouth gapes and now she's an equally pale shade. "NO! Who would say such a thing, let alone think it? Er...Are you sure it's not KS?"

Kande buries her face in her hands. Before she can answer, a roar goes up in the Klub. KS has once again deciphered the mystery message attached to the brick. The Mayor pats Kande's shoulder consolingly, and hurries out to celebrate with the others.

Kande falls to her knees on the floor. "Only 5 1/2 more weeks! Why me, God? Why? Why?"

A voice behind her says "Surprise! And the operative phrase is: it's not worth killing puppies over. Although I prefer the phrase, 'Kill! Kill! Kill!'"
