Murder on the Mainline: another Mike Claymore Mystery Chapter 24

... police are everywhere. Lindross smiles as he approaches Mike and says, "Can I take that fellow off your hands, Mike?" "You sure can. This is your murderer of Florence Hanson. Trudy has his confession on tape upstairs." "I know. I've been listening to it. Good work, Mike." "How long have you been here?" "Since before you arrived. Your tail kept us notified as to where you were and we waited for you. We had to wait for the heavies to arrive before starting to mop up. When we heard the gunshot we moved in. Trudy was just dialing us. We've been upstairs trying to figure how to get you out in one piece and not lose any of the Vietnamese gang members. Looks like you were handling things not too bad on your own." "Before you take him away, have him open this door for us. I think you'll find a treasure back there in drugs." "I'm sure we will. We know his business and he must be stocked up for tomorrow night and Sunday. Back at the detachment, Mike shakes Staff Sergeant Lindross' hand and says, "I'm glad that's over." "I'm going to miss you and Nina. Even you, Trudy." Trudy says, "Hell, we'll be around. Just watch us." As they drive back towards Chilliwack, Trudy starts singing, "Oh, this is number one, and the fun has just begun, Lay me down, roll me over and do it again. Roll me over, in the clover, Lay me down, roll me over and do it again." Mike joins in, "Oh, this is number two, He's taking off my shoe, Lay me down, roll me over and do it again. Roll me over, in the clover, Lay ...

They kiss and she sees him off with her hand waving good-bye. On Sunday night she calls. Mike answers the phone in his office. "Trudy. Why are you calling me at home?" He can tell by her voice she's been crying, "It's Crystal. I had to bring her into emergency tonight with an awful stomachache. They're taking out her appendix now. She's going to be in for a few days, but she'll be all right. I had to let you know I won't be any use to you until I get her home." "That's alright. I understand she comes first. You stay right with her and don't worry about the business. It'll survive until your ready to go back at it. Tell her I love her and her mom. I'll try to get down in the next day or two. Goodnight, love." He hangs up and hears Marlene coming down the stairs. She calls, "Was that CPX. I forgot to tell you they called while you were out this evening." "No, it was business. What did CPX want?" "Run to Calgary in the morning. He said they'd be finished loading it by eight." Next morning he is waiting at eight at the dock. During the night the midnight shift goofed off and they haven't started loading his yet. He goes down the dock and talks with Ray. "Good to see you again, Ray. How about joining me for a beer one of these nights." "Any time, Mike. Your always welcome where I'm at." ...
