them in. He could see the admiring glances
by the two detectives of his home and took it as an opportunity to delay their questioning.
“Look around if you would like; I’ll order iced tea to
be ready for us in the study.”
The senator’s study was an unbelievable example of what
money can do. A wall of books from ceiling to the floor set in a room of polished
walnut walls was almost impossible to comprehend. Next they walked across the hall
and entered the dining room, with a magnificent table highlighted by fresh flowers
in the center and twelve chairs around it.
“Dinner is served MY LORD,” Anne said in jest in an almost
inaudible voice. Lon disappointed her by not appreciating her attempt at humor.
He was totally locked in on the senator and his desire to prove his involvement
in the wife’s murder. They looked in one other small side room then headed back
to the study to locate their host and found him standing with his arm resting on
a leather arm chair.
“Senator, I’d like to go over the evening events one
more time. We have to be sure we understand your actions to be able to totally piece
together what took place. Take a seat and we’ll get this over with.”
The senator sat and seemed too calm, to Anne.
“It all started with a tiff between us. I had planned
a nice dinner and movie night out. I wanted to spend some time with Marie before
the next Senate session began. When I told her my intentions, she said that she
already had plans and she refused to change them. I became very angry and this is
where I went wrong, like a child who had his feelings hurt, I screamed at her and
then left in a fury of angry threats. If I could relive the incident, I would have
been a little more persuasive and slower to anger.”
“I needed to relieve the tension so I drove to the coast
to a spot that we designated as our special place. I sat on the beach, for some
two hours just watching and listening to the waves. They are hypnotizing, to say
the least and somehow make it easy to forget your problems.”
“Do you have any questions to this point?”
“Not yet, came from Lon.”
“I then drove back to the house and of course, Marie
was gone. I made myself a couple of drinks sat in a chair and waited for her return.
Around midnight I started getting tired and not wanting to give her the appearance
that I was overly concerned or apologetic I went to bed. You know how we men are,
detectives, we sometimes play games instead of being real.” He received no response
from Lon or Anne with his remark.
“I awoke after four o’clock and at four-thirty she had
not returned so I called the police to inquire of her possible report being involved
in an accident. I was told nothing had been reported to that point. I then reported
her missing. Later that morning, I drove to the station and you know the rest.”
“So, you didn’t stop anywhere like a gas station or for
coffee so someone could confirm your time line.”
“No lieutenant, I went directly to the shore and directly
back to this location.
“Okay Senator, thank you. I know this stuff is hard,
but we have a job to do. We would like to see the bedroom where she slept. We’d
also like to take possession of her personal computer.”
“I have no problem with any of that, detective. Marie’s
room is at the top of the stairway to the right and her laptop is on the stand next
to the bed. I would prefer to remain here while you search.”
They were amazed at the collection of family photos on
the wall as they climbed the stairway. They spent considerable time in the room
and found nothing of significance, so they picked up the computer and went back
down and thanked the Senator for his time. As they left Lon turned to him stating
that they may be back again and they departed.

HER THUNDERBIRD WAS visible as he pulled off the highway and onto the dirt lane. The excitement was
growing inside of him again. He parked as far away as possible from the small
