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

... the quiet with, "What happened?" "Nina and I agreed to meet on the Abby-Mission highway and go somewhere private, where we could be alone. We took her car and went to the gravel pit on the other side of Sumas Mountain. Police came when we were in a rather compromising position, searched each of us and the vehicle. They may have been looking for drugs, I don't know and they wouldn't say. She became emotionally upset and passed out. That's when I brought her home." "Did they touch her?" "They were most respectful." "Didn't she say she worked for the police? Didn't they look at her I.D. card?" "Of course. They said they still had their job to do." Jeff is silent for a while then blurts out, "Bullshit! There's more to it than that. What have you got her into? There's something you’re not telling me. I deal with evasive customers every day who are trying to hide a bad credit history. I know when someone is evading the truth. What's really going on?" "The reason for our meeting is private.

We could both go to jail." Marlene looks first at Nina then Mike. "What's she talking about, Mike?" "Truthfully, I can't say. I will say this, and only once will I say it." He whispers, "Our phones and this house may be bugged. That's why I had to meet her away from the house. Don't say anything!" Nina looks shocked but Marlene seems to take it in stride. She says, "Who wants coffee... or maybe a martini?" They all manage to smile at that. Mike goes to the front window to study the street. The van is back. He walks purposely to the stairs and descends to the office. He opens his briefcase and checks the contents. Everything pertaining to the suspects and interviews, including the insurance fraud personal papers are in his computer. He closes the case and locks it. He walks up the street to the van and rips the back door open. A surprised pair of men are playing cards at a low table in the back. He tosses the briefcase onto the table and says, "Tell Staff Sgt. Lindross that's all of it." He tosses them the key, turns and walks back to the house. As he enters he hears the phone ringing. He picks it up and says, ...
