Murder on the Mainline: another Mike Claymore Mystery Chapter 20

CHAPTER TWENTY 6TH SATURDAY Mike gets up early before anyone is out of bed and throws his briefcase into the car. He drives towards Chilliwack and calls Trudy as he's driving down Young Road. "Good morning, beautiful. It's Mike." Carol says, "Good morning, Mike. I'll get Trudy." She giggles as she leaves the phone. "Mike, are you hitting on Cookie so early in the morning?" "Sorry honey, I thought it was you. Your up, are you?" "I am now. What you looking for?" "You, of course. Come on back to bed." Mike walks around the house and opens the sliding glass doors to the bedroom. "Mike, where are you? Are you here?" "Come and see." She pushes open the bedroom door and rushes into his arms. Later Cookie gives her the devil for not hanging up the phone but at least it didn't ring to disturb them. Over breakfast Mike explains that he thinks it's time to get back on the murder case. Trudy and he plan a strategy. It's important to find out what the police have been doing, so Mike starts by calling Nina. "Mike, where are you?" "How are you this morning? How is Jeff taking the situation?" "He's out of sorts, but he's coming around. It's hard to tell when he's so hung over." She giggles.

... again?" "Yeah. I'm trying to find a starting point. The trail is getting cold and it's going to be hard to put it all together. Thanks for your help. Good morning." "Wait, Mike? Are you still there?" "Yes." She whispers, "Can we meet at the restaurant for coffee." "Not right away. I'm in Chilliwack." "Oh. You’re with Trudy. Is she right there beside you?" "Yes." She whispers, "I thought we might sneak away somewhere. I could use some TLC this morning." "I'm afraid it's too late." "You mean she and you have been ... I get it." She giggles, "I guess she's the one who got it. Damn! We'll have to wait until Monday at noon. Don't you forget!" "I won't. You have a good day now. Bye." He gets off the phone and Trudy says, "She was trying to entice you over, wasn't she? I could tell you were awfully guarded in what you said. Don't try to hide anything from me, Michael Claymore." "Trudy, you have a suspicious mind." "But, I'm right, ain’t I?" "Yep, your right." "What about the RCMP murder investigation?" "Seems to be shelved for now. There are some efforts to have the coveralls and boots re-admitted to the trial. Otherwise they are busy with other cases. "Where do we start then?" "Flo is dead. She was killed for a reason. Either her ex committed the crime in a drunken rage or she was killed to prevent her doing something. What was she going to do? It wasn't anything with the other hookers that would affect Scanlon’s operations. He's definitely been cleared of the crime. Rita Harrison ...
