Murder on the Mainline: another Mike Claymore Mystery Chapter 14

... lie to give him an alibi. Is that correct?" "It is." "So he doesn't have an alibi. I suppose many hundreds of people don't have an alibi for that night. Including yourself! You were enroute home when the crime occurred, right? Your friend, Ray, doesn't have an alibi. I don't think your swamper has one, either. What ties Mr. Hanson to the crime? He has motive to do her harm. Granted. But in the case of your friend, we have physical evidence, blood and urine samples of the victims taken from his clothes. "But he is likely to do further harm to Ms. Mathers." "I thought you were protecting her." "I can't sit up here twenty four seven. I planned to stay until he's picked up." "We don't have a warrant for his arrest. I believe the Surrey Police have a warrant for assault charges on him, but I don't think she's signed a complaint against him yet. They will try to pick him up relying on her pressing charges when she's capable. That's the best you can hope for. Have a good night, Mr. Claymore. Oh, one other thing. I would be careful around Mr. Hanson, should he show up there. He may have it in for you. You take care of yourself, now. Good night." Next Mike calls the Surrey Police Dept.

He nearly killed her last night so I'm sitting tight until he's off the street." "Robert Hanson, was that? Just a minute, I'll check." Mike wait’s for nearly four minutes. "Hey, that's the guy whose ex was murdered in POCO a few weeks back. I remember him. Looks like they tried to get a warrant this afternoon but it got to the judge too late. Should have a warrant in the morning. Oh oh! Looks like we were supposed to have coverage on his residence tonight. I better get someone up there. Damn! Short handed tonight, too. Seems to be the way it always happens. When nothing's going on the place is crawling with spares, but let us get busy and everyone has the flu. Uh, Looks like you won't have any action on that fella until tomorrow. Sorry, Mike." Next he calls ABC Security in Abbotsford. He asks to have a man sent down to the hospital in uniform. He requests and gets Charlie McBain, a tough Scot and close friend from the past. He'll be down in an hour. It'll go on Mike's account. He says to have Charlie call him before he leaves his home in Langley. When Charlie calls, Mike is half asleep in the chair. He grabs the phone quickly so as not to disturb Marie. The switchboard puts him through and Mike says, "Chuck, is that you?" "It sure enough is, laddy. What you gone and got yourself into now?" "I asked for you because I wanted someone who could handle themselves in a ...
