Chapter Eleven
Petrina called Captain Callas to give an update with what she learned that afternoon.
âLearn anything useful from the British racers?â he asked.
âThey prefer to be known as the English team. One of them is missing, specifically the Canadian team leader. Whatâs really interesting about that is that the destroyed bike that we found in Schmidtâs car was the one the Canadian was supposed to have used on Saturday.â
âAnd you spoke specifically with riders?â Callas asked.
âFour of them were available, and I spoke with Wainwright himself. He came to Rhodes to take over Schmidtâs leadership role. They made it sound like they were almost glad Dubois was missing. One of them even used the word âgoneâ.â
âI thought you said the team was out on a long training ride and wouldnât be back to town until late?â Callas asked.
âThat was the puzzling part. Wainwright was there with what he considered his four best riders. They were busy playing video games in the lobby, and not looking tired at all.â
âIâll try to get there later to talk with the others.â
âI can go back and try to talk with more of them, if you like?â she asked.
âYouâve done enough.â
âWhatâs your other investigation, Sir? Is that something I can help with?â
âI have three active cases. Thatâs why Iâm letting you go ahead with some of the preliminary investigation in the case youâre already working on. Just donât get carried away with it.â
Petrinaâs curiosity was piqued. âWhat are they?â
âShoplifting at a tourist souvenir store in Socratous Square. Another tourist refused to pay for a fishing excursion because they didnât catch any fish and ran off. And an Italian schoolteacher and a German tourist got into a fight at a bar. They broke up the place pretty good.â
âWhat was the fight over?â she asked.
âA woman. Want to know the strange part?â
âThe Italian and the German were also women?â
âYes, and the girl they were fighting over was straight as an arrow, on vacation here with her parents all the way from Indonesia, Java, one of those places.â
âWelcome to modern tourism, Captain Callas,â Petrina said when she was off the call. She called Caitlyn and Gaia to see if they were still at dinner.
âWe just sat down at Knights Palace Restaurant right around the corner from Knights Street.â
âI know it. Order me a plate of fries and a Greek salad. Iâll be there in ten minutes.â She had to park her scooter half a block away, and got to their table just as the meals were being brought out. âWhat a day.â
âYou look tired,â Gaia said.
âIâm not sure when one day blends with the next.â
âWelcome to the life of a police investigator,â Caitlyn said. âHave you got anywhere with the German?â
Petrina glanced at Gaia before answering.
âCaitlyn told me a little about it,â Gaia said. âAnyway, itâs already on the national news about his death. They made it sound like a murder.â
âThat didnât take long. My captain is supposedly taking the lead on the German. The problem for him is that itâs become a lot more complicated than any of us originally expected.
