  MURDER WITH OOLONG TEA
  
  
  Daisy hurried out the door from the all-purpose room and hurried past the pool
  and other meeting rooms to the outside door and her van. She opened the door
  of the vehicle and climbed inside. The thermometer in the refrigeration unit
  said the temperature was on point. Relieved, she removed the mini tarts in
  their pastry boxes, closed the door to the van, and carried the boxes inside.
  As March in Pennsylvania was wont to do, the day had begun with a cold chill
  and it hadn’t dissipated. Wind blew across the portico leading to the inside
  of the building and Daisy shivered. She hadn’t bothered with her jacket to run
  in and out.
  
  
  However, as she reentered the building, she heard a piercing scream that sent
  a frisson of fear up her spine. The sound had come from the pool.
  
  
  Daisy dropped the boxes of tarts and ran for the double doors leading into the
  pool area. The frosted glass revealed nothing.
