At the grocery store I bought ingredients for Chile Relleno Torta, as well as avocados, mushrooms, and baby lettuces for salad. Back at the Farquhars I spread everything out and began to get out pans to grease. My cooking concentration began to rev up, like the adrenaline some athletes claim after the first mile. Then the security gate buzzed.
"Yes," I said into the speaker. The closed-circuit camera showed two men in a dark sedan.
"Goldy Bear?" asked one of them. "We would like to talk to you." Police officers.
I said, "I am unbelievably busy."
"Just a few questions."
"May I cook while you ask things?"
"We'd rather you'd take some time out."
A pause. They looked at eachother.
"You can cook," said one.
I buzzed them through. A moment later, I openedthe front door and drew my mouth into what I hoped was a threatening pucker. "My business isn't in jeopardy, is it?"
"If we can just talk to you, Ms. Bear, we should be able to get some things straightened out."
"Right," I said as I turned to walk down the hall to the kitchen. "I can't wait."
