Murder on the Mainline: another Mike Claymore Mystery Chapter 11

... think she could have been looking forward to that in a happy way?" "I know about Fantasy Sex. If she had never tried it and someone offered her the chance that might have exited her. Maybe that was why she was so happy. But you have to trust someone completely to do that, you know." She regards him steadily and says, "Have you ever tried it?" Mike feels his neck getting warm and says, "No. Not yet." She smiles the slightest mysterious smile and says, "I think you soon will. Is there any more questions?" "Uh, ...No. Please take my card and call if you think of anything that might help us, no matter how small." He's relieved to see Trudy coming out of the change room with a rangy girl. She has golden brown eyes and radiant honey colored hair. Mike goes to meet her and Stacy joins Caramel. Mike asks, "All done?" "Yep. Let's find this bouncer. Caramel tells me he's a softy for the women but doesn't answer well for cops or other men. You want me to take him?" "We'll both talk to him but I'll let you carry the ball in the interrogation. Let's see if he's here yet." Mike pokes his head in the kitchen and sees Pedro. He nods and asks, "Seen your Dad around?" "He's outside fixing the car." "Thanks." They go out the side door and spot Manuel in the lot working on his aerial. He sees them and scowls. Mike says, "Manuel, this is my associate, Trudy Garneau. Can you answer some questions now?" "I'm fixin my radio. Damn kids broke off the aerial so I got a new one. New one don't work." ...

"Manuel, you walked Flo to her car so she wouldn't get hurt, didn't you?" "Yes, I did. She should have taken my advice. I told her to go home and go to bed. But she wouldn't listen." "You liked Flo." "Yes. She was a nice girl who’s life was messed up by a cruel man. I told her to go home to Ontario, but she wanted to try and make things work here. She should have gone home. It's so sad." "But she knew she was living a dangerous life style. Why would she do that, do you think?" "To take her mind off her ex and maybe to get even with him. Show him she could have almost any man she wanted. That's what I think." "Did he come around the pub to bother her?" "No. I wouldn't have let him in. She knew that she was safe here." "Did she say who she was meeting later that night?" "No. I wish she had. I would find the son of a bitch before the police and castrate him... slowly, before I killed him." "You don't think the truck driver they arrested did it?" "No. Ray comes in all the time. He's all right. It wasn't him." Trudy touches his arm and says, "Thanks, Manuel. We'll find whoever did it. Mike knows what he's doing. I'm sorry about Flo." Manuel looks down and says, "Me, too." They go back to the car and Trudy tells Mike, "He was sweet on her." Mike nods as he starts the car.
