Murder on the Mainline: another Mike Claymore Mystery Chapter 12

... isolated and I only see one street lamp. Also it’s probably cold and damp due to the river. The place feels cold." He drives across town to the first address they had tried for Jay. It's a condominium so Mike goes first and Trudy awaits his signal. He rings and hears movement inside. Suddenly the door is slammed open and a short wiry man comes bursting out. Mike notices as he flashes by that he has blood on his face and shoulder, as well as his hands. Deftly he trips him and he falls to the sidewalk, cursing. Inside Mike hears a moan and a woman's voice screaming. In the heat of the moment Mike can't make out what she's screaming, only that she sounds in pain. He grabs the wiry one by the scuff of the neck as he thumbs his cell phone on 911. "What's going on inside?" he demands of the downed man, trying to get an electrical tie secured on his wrist. With one tie secure he slips the second through the first and around the other wrist of the struggling opponent. He speaks into the phone, "I'm a private investigator working on the Hanson case. I have a bloody suspect on Melrose at 417 and an unknown situation inside the premises. There are two others inside with one of them screaming and one moaning. I have the third in cuffs.

Two officers rush up the walk and Mike explains the situation. They cautiously approach the door and the hubbub inside. With weapons drawn one man covers as the other ducks inside. Trudy looks at Mike and says, "What do you suppose is happening?" "I think we've met Mr. Jay Scanlon and he has been dealing out some discipline to one of his girls. Right, asshole?" He nudges the back of the seated man with his knee. Just then one of the officers comes back out the door and says, "You still have him? Good work, Mike." A thin blonde girl of about twenty comes to the door shaking and smeared with blood. She glares at the cuffed man and screeches, "I hope they throw you in jail and you rot, bastard!" She spit’s out the last word. An ambulance arrives and the officer waves them inside. He then comes back to Mike and says, "You know this guy?" Mike grins and says, "Nope, I just got here in time to catch him flying through the door. I stopped his flight and called you guys." "I'll take this one in custody, but hang around, the Staff Sergeant's on his way. He wants to talk to you. Who are you, Ma'am?" He's speaking to Trudy. Mike ...
