Murder on the Mainline: another Mike Claymore Mystery Copywrite: 2000

... Well, it was none of his business. He liked Mike but didn’t know his wife or family that well, had only met them twice in the last year of running with Mike. He knew Mike had a varied past of driving truck and serving as a prison guard for quite a few years. He also knew he was involved in insurance fraud investigations for a while. It appears he still is on the side. As they pull down into Hope Mike swings off the highway and pulls farther into the lower residential area out near the airport. He eases the rig to a slow pace and stops on a solid grassy shoulder by an isolated frame stuccoed bungalow all in darkness. “I’ll only be a minute,” says Mike as he opens his door and prepares to climb down. “Uhhhh, I may be a bit longer… have you got a good book to read?”, he blurts out grinning at Len with a shrug. Len laughs, “Get out of here!” As Mike wanders across the grass Len thinks she might not be home. He doesn’t see any car and the place is in darkness but Mike goes to the door and raps. He waits and then raps again. A light comes on in the entryway and Mike talks to a young girl on the step. It doesn’t look like Trudy. In the dim light she looks too tall, too dark and too young. Soon Mike comes back to the rig and climbs up into his seat. “She’s working for someone else tonight at the truck stop.” He mumbles something else and grunts as he puts the truck in gear and eases back out onto the wet blacktop.

They pull in as Mike exclaims, “Time for a coffee!” He pulls the rig along side three others in the lot and they go inside. They seat themselves at the counter and Trudy brings them coffee. She has a special smile for Mike and beckons him to follow her. They slip out a side door and she comes into his arms. After a passionate kiss and embrace Mike eases her back down onto her flat feet and asks about Crystal. “Oh Mike, I wanted to go with you this time so bad but Crystal developed a bad cough and sore throat. I thought it might be tonsillitis but the doctor has her on some medicine and it is getting better. I missed you so much the last few days. Must be just because I knew you were on the road all alone somewhere. You were probably chasing some other waitresses somewhere, weren’t you?” Mike raises his right hand, “I swear I never touched another hand except maybe Len. Does he count?” He grins. This brings a smile to Trudy’s lips and she says he had better not be messing around with guys. Then she adds she doubts he would be interested in guys anyway, not the way he is with her. They both laugh over this. Again she comes up on her tiptoes to pull him down for a long kiss. Mike’s dark eyes twinkle as he lifts her off her feet and she wraps her legs around him continuing their kiss. He lets her down and she catches her breath, shaking hair back out of her eyes and chuckling, “Feels to me like you’ve ...
