Murder on the Mainline: another Mike Claymore Mystery Chapter 05

... the kitchen is a laundry room that opens on the kitchen and a small office, Jeff's hide away. They greet Jeff and he comes out of his office to join them. Nina hands him a martini as well. "Mike, Marlene, I'm so glad we could get together again so soon. For months we hardly see each other then out of the blue, we're all together again. It certainly is nice." Nina says, "I see you brought your suits. Jeff thought it would be nice to have the hot tub working for tonight. Is it up to temperature yet, dear?" "Yes, it is." He massages Marlene's shoulder. "That will take out those knots." He laughs and the others do also. Marlene looks at him with a knowing look and says, "How did you know I have knots in my shoulders?" Jeff quickly recovers and says, "Just a lucky guess, my dear." He leads the laughter again. Nina looks at Mike and sneaks out a secret smile for him as she says, "Can you give me a hand, Mike, to bring up the card table." Quickly Mike says, "Lead on." He follows her to the basement stairs.

I think we'd make a great team." Mike says to Nina, "They've probably been practicing when we're not around, eh?" The two of them laugh and Jeff gets red, while Marlene chuckles and says, "Sure we do." "Maybe we should meet somewhere and practice too." He suggests and Nina laughs as she says, "Do you think so?" Jeff says, "Let's play bridge. What you got, partner? It's your bid." Marlene rubs Mike's leg and makes her bid. The first game is underway. They sip their drinks and play cards for about a half hour. Mike and Nina are walking away with the game when all of a sudden Jeff and Marlene come from behind and win. "What a team!" exclaims Jeff and runs around the table to congratulate his partner. Nina jumps up and says, "Can you help me with the appetizers, Mike. It looks like the losers have to do all the work." They laugh and head inside. As they pass out of sight Mike grabs her and drags her to the master bedroom. "Mike! They'll catch us! What are you doing?" "Come on and keep quiet." He rushes to the window that looks out onto the patio and points in the gloomy bedroom at the couple on the patio in each other’s arms.
