Murder on the Mainline: another Mike Claymore Mystery Chapters 7 & 8

CHAPTER SEVEN 2ND SUNDAY "Daddy, daddy. Wake up" Mike feels a weight on his chest and sleepily tries to get an exuberant daughter to ease up her jumping on his torso. "I'm awake, Jan. What's all this excitement about?" "Come on for breakfast." "Did your mother send you up here to get me up?" "Mommy says breakfast is ready. Come on." "Tell your mother I'm coming right down. Okay?" "I'll tell her." Janet dashes out of the room and Mike looks at the clock. He groans. It’s only eight thirty and it’s Sunday morning. What ever happened to sleeping in on the weekends, he wonders. He gets a hot shower and feels better. He dons a robe and joins the family in the kitchen. Marlene is feeding the kids and getting them around for Sunday School. "It's nice of you to join us for breakfast one day of the week, dear." She sounds sarcastic but smiles as he kisses her then pats her rump on the way to the table. After breakfast Marlene gets the children around and by ten she loads them into the station wagon and leaves. Mike comes upstairs from his office to get coffee and notices Jeff working in his yard. He takes his coffee and wanders over. "Morning neighbor." He greets Jeff. "Hi Mike. Hang on, I'll get a cup and join you." He goes into the house and soon reappears with coffee. They sit on the porch steps talking. "Marlene take the children to church?" "Yeah. Don't know why they had to wake me up to do it." "She snarly this morning?" "No, just edgy.

"You’re taking this awfully calmly... or are you boiling inside? Do you want to take a poke at me?" Mike grins again. "I prefer my way of getting even. How is she this morning?" A dark look comes over Jeff's face but he controls his emotions and says, "She's not too friendly with me right now." Mike chuckles. "You can laugh. You don't have to live with her. Don't get me wrong, I love that girl, but she can put a man through hell when she wants to. Right now I'm in the pot and she's keeping the fire burning under me." Nina steps out on the porch in her robe and says with a big smile, "Good morning, Mike." She steps by Jeff and kisses him then turns to Jeff and says, "I thought you were working out here? Go ahead, I can keep Mike company for a while." Mike stands and says, "Don't get me in the middle. I got enough troubles of my own. I was just leaving anyway." Nina pouts and goes back into the house. He looks at Jeff and says, "I see what you mean. Have fun. You know you brought this on yourself. Why did you ever start that affair with Marlene?" "I don't know. It was a day last fall, a Friday. I was raking leaves, for some reason I was home all day. Anyway she wandered over here with a cup of coffee, just like you did this morning, and we chatted about how we never seemed to chum around together any more. She ...
