**The Case of the Lousy Lunch Orders** Friday’s cafeteria din was a familiar backdrop of anticipation, but at our usual table, a stunned silence had fallen. Maudie, Ezra, Kyle, Ava, and you sat in a row, confronted by a lineup of identical trays. Where personalized indulgences should have been, only austere salad rolls and waxy green apples stared back. Ezra’s fist hit the table with a dull thud. "This isn't a mistake," he hissed, his voice tight with indignation as he prodded the sad roll with his fork. The air between us grew charged, thick with the unspoken understanding that this was no kitchen slip-up. It was a calculated provocation, and our little detective agency had just been handed its next case.
