"I can take my bike or the moped to the office and then ride with the truck carrying the signs and stakes and all that stuff. No problem."
"How
close are they?" I tried to remember seeing a sign for Pi Surprise. They
hadn't come into the Tattler to buy advertising yet. Which suddenly
struck me as a little strange. All their advertising was either in the Plain
Dealer, or stuffed into mailboxes. Nothing in the local paper. So how far
away was their office?
"They're
in that little flower market on the corner down past the schools."
"On
the Neighborlee side of the border, or the Allenby side?"
Pete
thought a moment, while I held my breath and told myself it was all right,
nothing dangerous ever came into Neighborlee from Allenby. Darbyville, yes, but
not Allenby.
"Across the street, so I guess Allenby. I saw the help wanted sign just about the time they were putting it up in the window. It's a new office. They moved here from Euclid. So I'll spend the first couple weeks just helping with renovating the office."
"Okay. Sounds good." I told myself I was hungry, it had been a long day at work, and Pete would make a good spy, to figure out if there was something not-quite-ordinary going on with Pi Surprise. Maybe someone was just out to make things difficult for an expanding business, moving those gnomes around.
