“It’s Wednesday Little One so I doubt it.”
It is Wednesday Story Day again, and last week we found out that Christine has some information to share. What confused most of us is why she is willing to share the information. I guess when we recovered from the fact that Christine was still alive and was rather cavalier about her meeting with Larry and Andrew, we need to find reasons to trust her. I see she is getting her second drink and that Andrew has joined her with a snifter of Willet Reserve Bourbon.
“Here’s your drink.”
“Thank you, Andrew. I see you are joining me.”
“I never like to turn down an invitation from a beautiful lady for a drink.”
“Oh, you devil. Andrew. I’ll bet you were a killer in your day.”
“My day?”
“Okay, you two. Let’s get back to your theory, Christine.”
“Such a spoilsport, Larry.”
“I know, Andrew. Just enjoy your drink. So Christine, before all the bar fly activities you mentioned that you thought Alexis set up a meeting with his wife and that she and Mr. Dixon killed him.”
“That’s my theory.”
“Do you have any proof?”
“Not really. Just the fact that I got a call from him saying he would be a little late and was going to try and meet with his wife.”
“Was she here in South Tahoe?”
“Yes, they were staying on the California side in the Hyatt there.”
“Wait a minute. If he was staying with his wife at the Hyatt, how did he meet with you?”
“Come on, Larry. You have to know some couples have arrangements. She had her Dixon I had my Alexis.”
“Okay, I get it.”
“You don’t approve, though do you?”
“I was faithful to my wife until she died, and in many respects, I still am. Even so, folks have to do what folks have to do. You can’t really say you know if Alexis met with his wife or not, can you?”
“No, but it has to be worth something to be able to testify that she was here in South Lake Tahoe at the time of his death.”
“Did you see her?”
“No. Alexis told me.”
“Yeah, that isn’t going to do us much good.”
“Damnit, Larry I know she killed him, and somebody’s got to bring her to justice.”
“It is interesting that she told us she wasn’t here when he died. Andrew, I wonder if we can get the hotel to release records about Janice being in the hotel with Alexis.”
“That is going to be tricky. We don’t have jurisdiction here. The hotel might ask for a warrant.”
“How about a warrant from a Boston judge?”
“I’ll call the chief and explain what we need.”
“You gentlemen need some juice around this town?”
“What do you mean Christine?”
“I have some friends in high places, and if you need a favor, maybe they can help.”
“You know a judge?”
“I know one very well. He and I used to date.”
“Date?”
“Please, Larry, give a girl her dignity. Let me call him and see if he would do me a favor. I’m going to ask him to meet with you. You can then explain what you need. Excuse me guys, but I need to talk to him in private. I’ll be right back.”
“Don’t say a word, Andrew. Wait until we are outside.”
“Yes, boss.”
