Murder on the Mainline: another Mike Claymore Mystery Chapter 22

... telephoto, so there." "Where did you ever get that kind of equipment?" "My ex used to be a photo nut. I inherited it from him." She grins. "In other words you’re using it and he doesn't know?" "Or care." "Do you know how to work it?" "Of course. He always wanted me to take pictures of him to send to his parents in Quebec." "Let's set it up then and hope it doesn't rain." "I'll put a plastic bag over it when I'm not shooting. You know the pictures will be dark. The telephoto does that. I will lighten them as much as I can." "We'll try a couple of shots. Have you got lots of film with you?" "Four packs of ten. We can get more if we need them." "Great. Let's get it set up." She sets up the camera and tries two shots of just the front door. Mike is surprised at how clear and bright they are. "Those are good. I thought you said they'd be dark." "I've got it set for as light as it will go." They wait around strolling occasionally but never far from the bushes where the camera is set. Around eleven a car arrives with three men in it and they go in the house. Mike says, "What does our guy look like?" "I don't know. I guess we shoot everybody and hope we catch him. Those three all look to be in their forties" "We'll watch."

She says to wait a moment. A woman comes to the door across the street and goes around the house to the garage. She comes back around with the fourth man as Mike grins and punches 'end' on his cell phone. "That's him." They chuckle as Trudy snaps the camera. They study the photo as it develops. Trudy says, "Nice looking couple, aren't they?" "Yeah, too bad he isn't carrying a great big box or skipping or something." "Be patient. He might yet." "By the way, can I borrow your car for an hour or so." "Can't she do without for one day?" "She's my pipeline into what's going on inside the detachment. You wouldn't want to deprive me of important insider's information, would you?" "Don't get the seats all messed up then! And save some for me, dammit! It'll probably pour down rain as soon as you leave and I'll be stuck out here in the bushes." "Do you want anything out of the car?" "No. Get out of here. I can tell you got ants in your pants. You’re almost panting. Scat!" Mike drives across to the RCMP Detachment and watches for Nina as he approaches. She's coming down the sidewalk so he flashes the lights twice to get her attention, waves and points on down the block as he drives by slowly. In his mirror he sees her following. He parks just out of sight of the offices and wait’s for her. She comes up to the ...
