Murder on the Mainline: another Mike Claymore Mystery Chapter 10

... sure. Marlene is good at soothing him down, anyway. Are you finished for this week? I expected you home last night?" "Yeah, I don't think I'll have any more runs this week. I can get some work done on this case tomorrow, maybe." "You’re still going to work on the murder? I thought they might have scared you off. Would you like some coffee?" "Sure, thanks. They never said anything at work? Are they still allowing you to do the work for the investigation team?" "No changes, yet. I'm sure they're watching me. Have you heard anything new? I guess you couldn't. You've been on the road." "I talked with one of the suspects this afternoon, but not a real intensive interview, although he told me some things that I didn't know before." Marlene is setting the table around them so they go to the living room and sit on the couch side by side with their coffee. "You talked to Tony, right?" "Yeah, I finally caught him but only for a few minutes before a meeting. Do you ever have access to drug investigations?" "Routinely."

"I wonder what Jeff's eating tonight?" Marlene speaks up, "He's dining out regularly now." Nina says, "Probably steak and baked potatoes. His favorite food." Richard pipes up, "We should go and eat with him." Shelly says, "I want steak." Janet doesn't say anything. Mike says, "I'm sorry I asked." The food is great. Marlene is a marvelous cook. Some light chatter occurs during the meal but not much. Everyone is busy eating. After supper Mike retires to his office to plan strategy for tomorrow while the ladies do up the dishes. Marlene brings him a cup of coffee. "Why didn't you tell me you were working on this case?" "I was never officially hired to work on it. I'm doing the work for nothing to help Ray out. Also I didn't want you to worry about me out chasing a murderer. It sounds so much worse than it is." "I know you have always been able to take care of yourself and us. I have a lot of faith in your abilities. If Ray is innocent you will find the killer and have him arrested." "Well, thank you, honey. That's good to hear." "Your going out tomorrow to speak with those suspects then? Good luck. I hope you find the guilty party quickly." She goes out of the office and Mike ponders ...
