What happened and where was she? Sarah was feeling like her grandmother, ferhoodled. Very confused! One minute she was walking home and the next …. she was on 5th Avenue in NYC, holding onto a bag of chicken legs and donuts.
The honking of horns was going to give her a headache. “Excuse me Miss.” said one man as he eushed past her. She had stepped out of his way only to step into someone else’s path.
Whoa! She got shoved out of the way, almost losing her balance. She did manage to lose her bag of chicken legs. They were scattered all over the road now!
“Katie! Kate!” Quick come, lunch break is over. We have to be back in court. The jury has reached a verdict.
Sarah was studying the cowbell in her hand, which she had forgotten about. Suddenly she felt her arm being grabbed. “Didn’t you hear me, you look like you are daydreaming Kate.
“But wait, I am not Kate.” Sarah said as she felt herself being pulled along.
The other lady looked at her and laughed. “You were just on lunch break, Kate, it wasn’t Happy Hour! Were you drinking?”
Sarah didn’t know what to say. She let herself be pulled along as the other lady prattled on about the court case. A case that she had no clue about what was going on! Right now she had no clue about anything that was going on.
“Do you think the jury will rule in the plaintiff’s favor? Do you really think that Miss. Scarlet murdered the Professor?
Soon they were in front of the courthouse and Sarah found herself in line to go through security. BUZZ! Sarah had set off the alarm! Why had…then she remembered the cowbell in her pocket.
“Miss, we need you to empty your pockets and go through again please.” Sarah felt her face grow hot as she pulled her cowbell out. The security officer gave her a curious stare.
Tbe lady who had mistaken her for Kate, looked at the Security officer and said “It is her good luck charm.” The man picked it up, handing it back to Sarah and said, “Good luck Miss!” Sarah mumbled a Thank You, still feeling embarrassed.
“Kate, I have to ask, what are you doing with a cowbell?”
“Its my good luck charm.” she said, and she rang it 3x! Pink and purple smoke filled the hallway and when it cleared Sarah breathed a sigh of relief, she was back in town!
She was so glad to be back, but her mind was swirling. What had happened? She couldn’t stop looking at the cowbell while walking back to the Inn.
Opening the door she called out, “Miss. Lisette, I am so sorry I took so long! You will never believe what happened!”
Lisette came around the corner. “So glad you are back, I was beginning to wonder how many games you were playing at the Fluffer Nutter Shop!”
“Games? What? Oh yeah! Well actually, I didn’t play any games. I….”
Lisette couldn’t believe her eyes! “Where did you find that cowbell?”
“In the grass and let me tell you, this is one very magical cowbell!”
“I know!” said Lisette, “How do you think I ended up here.”
Now Sarah’s eyes were wide! “What! This cowbell brought you here?”
“Let me make us some Creme Brulee coffee, this is going to be a long story.” Lisette replied, while walking into the kitchen, leaving Sarah staring after her in wonder.
I’m glad Sarah came back. She saved Lissette from a life of shame. But now that they both know about this magic cowbell, I think they’re going to get into a fight over it. And in the end, Lissette will murder Sarah in the Parlor, with the cowbell.

I think they’re going to overdose on coffee, leaving both of them too jittery to ring the bell properly. After a few failed attempts, the bell will disappear and magically return to its proper owner.

Sarah – she had so much iodine from her healthy diet that had seaweed snacks and grass fed meat – the iodine helped her body fight off the radioactivity. She still felt worn out – but no transformation into a mutant for her

That’s good, because I would think the radioactivity would interact with the seaweed snacks, and turn her into a giant bed of kelp.

I think that is exactly what happened the following morning – and the news reporters gathered to photograph the giant bed of kelp – chemists were called to help
