"Herbert, that awful emission from Oakhaven Industries is getting worse," Margot said, wrinkling her nose. "I swear, it smells like burnt donuts and despair."

Herbert, sprawled on the sofa, didn't look up from his TV show. "Relax, Margot. It's probably just Bob down the street burning leaves again."

"It is not Bob, Herbert! It's affecting property values! Especially with this recession looming."

Brian walked in, juggling his skateboard. "Did someone say donuts?" He sniffed the air dramatically. "Definitely industrial-strength. Not the golden kind from the Corner Shop."

Herbert sighed. "Fine, fine. I'll mention it to someone at work. Though, honestly, my opinion isn't exactly dominant there. Johnson thinks safety regulations are�?�suggestions."

Margot raised an eyebrow. "Johnson? That explains everything."

"Exactly! And you know how controversial suggesting he actually does his job would be."

Brian smirked. "Maybe Laura could write a letter to the newspaper. She's good at that stuff."

Herbert groaned. "Please, no. Last time she wrote about the school lunches, I had to eat mystery meat for a week."

Margot shook her head, smiling slightly. "Just mention it, Herbert. That's all I ask."

Herbert grabbed the remote. "Alright, alright. But if Johnson starts crying, I'm blaming you both."

Brian high-fived an imaginary friend. "Operation Clean Air is a go!"
