The bedroom is simple and yet homey. There is a small wooden bed covered in a colorful homemade quilt. There is a small wooden cabinet for storing the second pair of clothing. A colorful homemade tapestry brightens a wall.

I have a always had a sweet tooth which made me want to learn to bake. I love to eat the things I bake. I like seeing my customers come in every day. I'll have conversations with them about what's going on in town and keep track of how everyone is doing.
How in the world did we get bed bugs? We have always been careful not to bring food back here. Oh, lord, how are we going to get rid of them? There is no telling how it got here. We interact with so many people in a day. I don't think those bugs are after food anyways - more like our blood. Eww! Do you think that's why I've developed those spots on my foot! Oh, I cannot begin to think of it!... Oh God! What if the villagers find out?! Oh, no. If they are red and itchy then I'd say so. I heard that you don't even feel them biting you. Their saliva paralyzes your skin where they are about to bite and suck you blood. We need to do something about this fast because one could turn into a thousand. What if they are at the bakery too? Oh no, what should we do? Will garlic work? I hear they hate garlic... Garlic might work... but how do we explain the smell... one does not usually smell garlic at a bakery, right?  Do you think we can say we are just making garlic bread? I think we better check the bed and the bakery. We need to get ahead of this.  ...that's brilliant! Everyone loves garlic bread! We could run a special on... oh wait! Where would we get that much garlic without arousing suspicion?  We are bakers! I do not think anyone would correlate garlic and bed bugs. I like the special idea. We should just tell them we found a new garlic recipe and that we are wanting to try it out and run a special on it. I bet they won't even ask a question about it.  I hope so... and garlic bread is ridiculously popular... Ok! We will need butter and cheese as well. Oh, I hope this works! Then again if it does not, we will at least have garlic bread!  YAY! Wait... how exactly are we going to use the garlic? Do you think we can make a spray out of it to spray the room and bakery, or should we just leave fresh cloves laying in their hiding spaces? Now, I do not think it will kill them, but it will keep them away from us.  Hmmm... if you want the whole place to smell like garlic, you can't beat roasting the stuff. And if we roast it low and slow, it will become so soft that we can mix it with the butter and cheese and spread in on the bread easily! Oh, I like this plan indeed! Good idea! We better go ahead and go get this stuff. Where can we find a lot of garlic, and by a lot, I mean a lot?
