Murder on the Mainline: another Mike Claymore Mystery Chapter 19

... well at the business, he deserved it. I just don't know what to think. I'll have our bookkeepers check the accounts. I know you don't have the authority to call in auditors, but I guess my son doesn't." He grins slightly. "Your job is a tough one. I wouldn't want it. You’re good at it though. I'll try to get him to cooperate with the police. Mike shakes his hand at the door. "For his sake, I hope he does. Good day, Sam." Mike goes back to the car and calls Ken. Next he calls Trudy so she's up to date. It’s noon so he drives home for lunch. Marlene has already fed the kids and is just sitting down to a bite herself. She fixes Mike a plate and they eat together. Mike tells her about the morning's activities and explains that he's thinking of opening a Chilliwack office. He says he may be able to double his security business and be on the road less. "Then we can have lunch together like this more often." "And you'll be home nights more often. I like it. What will you need over there?" "I've been thinking about that. I think someone to take messages with a phone should do the trick. I'll go over early in the morning and scout around.

He studies the stolen stereo case but can't come up with any ideas. Finally, he sighs and gets up. He flips the chair upside down. Working the panel he lifts it out and removes the RCMP documents. He rights the chair and lays the file out in front of him. There is one row of photos, a pile of reports on his right and a pile of statements on his left. He adds his own personal log to the pile. He has the crime scene photo and Flo's personal workup in front of him studying both when Marlene comes in. She looks down at the photos and files. "So that's the missing RCMP files? Oh God, are those grisly! She was a rather pretty girl, wasn't she?" "Yes, she was. She made one mistake and paid for it with her life. But what mistake did she make? It's here, somewhere. I know the answer is staring me in the face." "How can you look at that? She looks so obscene, lying like that. And these close ups must have been done by someone with a twisted mind. He should be prosecuted!" "If they bother you so much, don't look at them." "I came down here in a romantic mood, but now I think I'm going to be sick. I'm going upstairs." She leaves as the phone rings. Mike calls, "It's okay dear, I've got it." He picks up the phone and says, "Hello, It's Mike." "Mike, it's Nina.
