Murder on the Mainline: another Mike Claymore Mystery Chapter 12

... says, "She's with me." She says, "I'm his mistress, I mean, his assistant. Oh shoot! I'm with him!" The officer grins and says, "She must be your associate. She can't be one of ours." Trudy pipes up, "I resent that remark!" Mike and the officer both chuckle at her red face. Next the officer questions the cuffed wiry man on the steps. "You got a name?" "I got nothing to say. I want to call my lawyer. You can't hold me." The medics come wheeling a stretcher out with a woman's form draped on it and an IV running to her arm. "She's lost a lot of blood. We'll have to rush her straight to the hospital. We're taking her to Burnaby General, officers." The second officer steps up to the first and says, "This guy thinks he's a surgeon." He holds up a kitchen butcher knife in a plastic bag. Just then a burly red-faced man arrives and the two officers group with him to talk. He nods Mike to join them. "You've joined us at last, Mr. Claymore. Welcome aboard. I'm Staff Sergeant Lindross. I understand you apprehended Mr. Scanlon's attempted exit. Good work." "Thank you, sir. I didn't get a chance to go inside. What was going on in there?" "It appears Scanlon was helping one of his girls to have an abortion... the hard way. And against her wishes, according to her friend there." "Does she work for Scanlon, too? It's the girls I came to question on the Hanson case. I only stepped into this mess by accident." "Well, quick thinking on your part. You got anything for us on the Hanson case?" ...

... "Just that Scanlon's alibi for the night is shot full of holes. Speak to Peaches at 41 Park Lane. That doesn't mean I have anything solid on him yet, just a lot of suspicion" "Hmmm. So do we." "But your charges against Ray still stand?" "We have enough to take it to the judge. Doesn't mean we're not still looking though." "If you don't mind I'll continue by speaking to the lady of the house. Do you suppose we might get a peek at the Hanson girl's digs?" Lindross speaks to one of the officers for a moment then says to Mike, "This officer will take you over there. It’s only a few blocks away. The side door should be unlocked. Make sure the police tape is secure over the door when you leave and don't take anything without itemizing it and reporting to us. You know the rules of evidence, I presume?" "Yes, Staff. Thank you for your help." "Thank you, Mr. Claymore." Mike speaks to Trudy, "This officer is going to take us to Flo's place. Then we'll come back and talk with the other lady of the house here. We're going to be a while and you will probably be late for work. Do you want to call in?" "I guess I better call work at least." She takes Mike's cell phone and makes her call as they follow the officer to Flo's last address. Trudy hands Mike the phone saying, "The boss isn't very happy. They're busy and it’s Saturday. With the mixed weather and all a lot of tourists are staying longer. I told him I would be in as soon as possible, but I would be late. He said he was going to call me ...
