Chapter 10

Because of scheduling conflicts, we made a decision to change the original morning plans. Jill would relieve my bodyguarding Clarissa earlier. I would hightail it back to the yacht, and shower. At that point we would do a conference, with Jill on her phone giving her input.

My agenda, or docket as I often referred to it, included: Team meeting. Chat with Chief Tom Powers at Homicide Headquarters. Appointment with Mona Ross at Ross Architects. There was a yearning that perhaps Mona would terminate our contract. She had kept us on to see if we could discover a murderer of her hubby. I assumed that was so that she would no longer be under suspicion for the killing. I was realist enough to believe it could very well have been a random homicide by a crazed drug addict. But that scenario set off a little alarm system.

I’d always had that little alarm system going off – signaling my brain. But at times, I ignored it. Those were not good times. I was taking advantage of not making a decision about Mona’s innocence.

I was much more anxious to find a way to draw out the Sea Fortune’s Scumbag-Hucksters and Coleman’s strip joint/sex trafficking/escort business. I wanted to save my cousin’s honor, and his freedom from a prison stay. I was also protective of him. I didn’t want him murdered by the killers of his friend, Simon. But there was an addendum to my reason for wanting this case solved. I hated women being abused. Sex trafficking, and the sex industry, were grimily intrusive ugly acts against women. Itching to see Jurg, Dimitri, and Mickey charged, I could use the womanpower of both Summer and Jill.

I was pretty certain I could find trouble to get into that afternoon. But the morning was spoken for.

After my shower, I pulled Summer aside and cautioned her about being a Team member. “The two of you are needed for the cases we’re working on. We can only accomplish success when our Team is together. Our synchronicity is the hidden ingredient. I realize you don’t like working the boring case of Donald ’s murder. But until we get the contract torn up by Mona, we’ve got to ethically give it our best try. Jill isn’t being given better assignments. She wants criminals off the streets. You want the streets cleaned up.”

She argued, “Donald was murdered by a violent stranger. It’s going to be an unsolvable mystery. The cops have no clues – no clues exist. Can you honestly say it isn’t a cold case?”

“Summer, I’m not at all convinced that it can be solved. I don’t want to wait until someone squeals or confesses. The people we’re investigating could have murdered him. Maybe it is probable that they did not kill Donald. And no one ordered a hit on him. But it is possible that one of them did it or conspired to have him killed.”

Her eyes were fired up for another line of argument. “I don’t buy it.
