Slip of the Tongue

Horace has lost the job he had with Conners and the rest of the Dark Lake police. Lady loves her brother, but there’s no denying that he absolutely brought this on himself. She considers herself lucky that they were able to find him a new job so quickly.

The new job in question happens to be working at a grocery store, one that he had already been fired from once before. Lady worries he’ll manage to screw this up and get fired yet again. She hadn’t been prepared for even worse possibilities.

When someone in Dark Lake is poisoned, the grocery store is closed down. Locals are warned to exercise caution until the source of these tainted food items is discovered.

Aside from the danger inherent to the situation, Horace is out of a job again. Lady will need to help him figure out what’s going on If he wants it back or, worse, suspicions start turning on him.
