Murder on the Mainline: another Mike Claymore Mystery Chapter 21

... to fuel up. At four thirty he's pulling out of the yard again and at five thirty he's pulling in by the curb at the house in Abbotsford. Marlene greets him with a hug and puts another plate on the table. After supper he goes up and stretches out across the bed. He feels uncomfortable and decides to take a shower. Then, when he stretches out he falls asleep. Around midnight Marlene wakes him crawling into bed. He pulls her close and kisses her. Her nude form crushed up against his brings erotic thoughts into his mind and he says, "I'm so lucky to be able to wake to the most beautiful woman in Abbotsford." He kisses her again and she responds with pleasure. He doesn't get back on the road until two AM. This time nothing goes wrong and he's pulling into the Husky at Sicamous by eight. The return trip is just as uneventful and he passes Chilliwack around two in the afternoon. He tries to call Trudy but no answer. He leaves a message on her machine that he will see her Friday, unless something comes up. If it does, he'll call her. He pulls into the CPX yard with the last load around three in the afternoon. When he checks ...

He feels sad to see that, but pulls his bags and briefcase out of the car. Marlene is glad he's home for supper again tonight. She kisses him and takes his laundry downstairs. When she comes back up she says, "Where's your sheets?" "I only had two runs to Sicamous. I just flopped down on the bunk so they are still clean." He tells her about the flat tire as she's preparing supper, omitting Trudy's help, of course. She says, "I wondered last night what happened to your hand, but we got so busy, I forgot to ask. It sure didn't slow you down then." She looks archly at him and he grins. After supper, Mike and the kids go over to a nearby playground for a while. He chucks a ball back and forth with Richard, who insists on being called that, now that he's ten. Mike watches for Nina but doesn't see any activity around their house. When he gets home he helps Marlene get the kids ready for bed then goes for a shower. Marlene comes in to check on him and finds him fast asleep.
