Esme Gigi Genevieve Squalor and her boyfriend, Count Olaf, stalked through the miserably miniscule town. Their prey, however, was good at hiding. Or they were just really stupid. The events of the next scene would prove it to be the latter.

"No. We find J first. I am going to get revenge on every last one of those goodie-shoe-twos. Besides, I know Snickets, and they would never let you find the sugar bowl if they still had breath in them."

"The librarian was willing to let me."

"She's new. Weak. J wouldn't make the same choice."

Esme sighed. "What are we going to do then?"

"Find the hench-idiots and have them rile up the mob."

"Brilliant, darling."

Esme's reply was more clipped than usual as she sauntered off, twirling the harpoon gun.
