Murder on the Mainline: another Mike Claymore Mystery Chapter 14

... have on the case. If that were the case, do you suppose a trade might be arranged?" "What're you fishing for, Mike?" "One of the pieces to my puzzle is why aren't you treating Scanlon's possibility as a murder suspect more seriously?" "That's easy. He didn't do it." "See now, there, you have information I would find valuable in my quest. How do you know he didn't do it? Surely you don't believe his alibi." "His alibi is bullshit. We know where he was." "You have the advantage on me. So where was he?" "Bring in your evidence and we'll talk. By the way, what did you find?" "I'll be right over." Mike leaves a note for Marlene, picks up his briefcase and heads out the door. By eleven he's pulling up in front of the detachment. He walks up to the door and opens it. Nina smiles as she sees him come in. She hurries over. Mike studies her as she approaches and says, "I'd like to kiss you but I'll have to make do with congratulations. Sure you won't have lunch with me?" "I'm sure. The Staff is waiting in his office. Let me check and see if he's busy." She comes right back and says, "Come on in."

He picks up a rather thick file and turns to some pages near the back. "Scanlon was identified as being at the border crossing in Sumas after midnight on the night in question. He was positively identified in person as well as his vehicle was also identified. He was in the area with two known teenage prostitutes, one from Port Moody and the other from Vancouver. Coincidentally they were picked up in a round up the next night in Seattle. It is believed he took into possession two teen-age prostitutes from LA that night. We've been watching him so we know he was not near Port Coquitlam the night Florence Hanson was murdered. Satisfied?" "So he's not even a suspect. Why'd you have him on your list?" "He's so obviously a suspect, we couldn't omit him without raising embarrassing questions. So Mike, your turn." "I have a couple more questions I'd like answered." "I can't do that. Play the game. Give me something." "Alright, I believe whoever killed Flo may have stayed at her place during the week before she was murdered. Stay with me on this. She was taken into a dangerous area and she allowed herself to be tied up. Reason? Fantasy sex. But the game of Fantasy sex can only safely be carried out with someone you explicitly trust. If you have viewed her living quarters I think you'll agree she very ...
