“So,” said the woman, “your victims sing and dance themselves into a frenzy, then spontaneously combust.”
“Shwooof!” Sweet said, gesturing.
“Perfect. Since these jokers already sing and dance incessantly, it shouldn’t even take long.”

Sweet grinned. “Diabolical.”
“Aren’t I, though?” Sue Sylvester grinned back. “Deal?”

“Sue, you tried to have my students flambéed!”
“I did no such—”
“Don’t bother. Your invisible choir squawked.”

“Performers in training. And under torture. Did you hear your singing saboteurs mangling South Pacific?”
“Did anyone actually combust?”
“Well...no.”
“See? No harm done.”
“You’re not getting away with this.”
“Actually, I just did.”
Will smiled...and raised his hands. “Note?”
The empty office answered. “Laaaaaa.....”
“All together now: It’s a small world after all....”
Unseen, in the corridor, Sweet grinned.
