Murder on the Mainline: another Mike Claymore Mystery Chapter 19

... funds. How despicable!" Mike pulls out his cell phone and says, "Let's just call the bank manager and straighten out this affair once and for all. I have his number here in the report." He starts to dial and Mr. Reynolds says to stop. "What is it you want from me, Mr. Claymore?" Mike puts the cell phone away. "Why CJ, I'm surprised you don't know. I want the names and numbers of the men who helped you stage the phony auto accident. That should be easy. Just give me that and I'm out of your hair." Clive's shoulders droop and he says, "So you know. He only told me his first name. It was Iilya. He sounded Greek on the phone. He gave me his number but told me to destroy it after the accident. I burned it." "And what were the names of the men who appeared on the scene to kindle the blaze?" "I don't know their names. They were waiting on the corner in a plain black van. I think the one called the other Carl, but I'm not sure. They hustled us out of our cars and were gone so quickly. All we had to do was follow the instructions given to us by Iilya." "Would you recognize those two men if you saw them again?" "Most certainly, but I don't ever plan to see them again." "You will likely be asked to identify them in court, Mr. Reynolds. I suggest it might be in your best interests to make a full statement to the police at this time. ICBC and the District Attorney may look favorably on your cooperation. The charges of Attempted Fraud may even be dropped if you cooperate." "Charges? Me? Oh ...

I'll lose my business. I'll lose everything. I just needed some cash to pay out some loans." "Take my advise, work with the police on this and you will come out a lot better than if you wait and are picked up when the crooks are. I'll give you a number." On his business card, one of the new ones supplied by Trudy, he writes Ken's number. He hands it to Reynolds. "Don't think about it too long. You'll put it off until it’s too late. I expect to have these crooks in jail before the week is out. I'd advise you to call today." Reynolds picks up the card from the table. He looks defeated and cornered. He straightens himself up and says, "Thank you for your advice. I'll call them. Whom should I ask for?" "Ken Drydon. He's with the Matsqui Police Department. He'll give you a fair shake if you’re serious about cooperating. He'll tell the DA just how much help you've been." "I'll call him straight off this morning." "Good. I'll have to be off now and catch those bad guys. You go ahead and make your call, I can find my way out. Good day, sir." Mike leaves and immediately calls Ken. He tells him about the call that will come from Reynolds. He leaves his cell number so Ken can get him when Reynolds makes his commitment. Then he calls Trudy and puts her into the picture. Trudy says, "Your lucky you got ...
