Read here the Preview of CHAPTER TWO (Continued...)
“Don’t you know, Sir, that Elaine…? Err… Ms. Townsend is Mr. Wainsford’s lady friend? He visits her often. That’s how I have been able to see so much of him. He even gave me two passes for his games.”
“Besides Mr. Wainsford, would you know of any other frequent visitors to her apartment, who you may have seen or heard about?”
“She does have visitors coming over from what I have heard my staff talk, but no one in particular I’d know.” Then, he mulled over and said, “You could ask Jackie, my office-assistant, who brought you over to my office earlier. Jackie has her ears attuned to the inside of the apartment walls, so it’s said, and is the source of all gossip in this building. But she’s good at heart.” The man was grinning.
“What about Ms. Townsend’s roommate?”
“Ms. Clarke never returned to the apartment after she was attacked in the park.”
“In the Apartment B2 Lease folder, the first six-month lease was made out in the name of Michael Cage. What do you know about him? Did he really live here? And after that, it appears Ms. Samantha Clarke took over the apartment for a similar period.”
“I have been working here for the last few months only. The person, Michael Cage, was gone before I joined, and Ms. Clarke was in possession of the apartment. Later she took Ms. Elaine Townsend as her roommate, after which the latter, herself, took over the lease.”
Arthur must have realized at some time as he spoke, that he was talking about Bradley’s ladyfriend. Because he ended on a cautious note.
“All I know is that Ms. Clarke worked in the D.A.’s office.”
The real-estate office manager had not been able to provide him with any useful important. But, he had pointed out to one promising source and that was Jackie, his overly talkative office assistant.
“Thanks for sparing me so much of your time, Mr. Konige,” and then handing him over one of his FBI visiting cards, “If you should want to contact me, you can do so any time on my personal number listed on the card.”
On his way out, he saw Jackie looking up from the counter, giving him a smile. She was bespectacled, had a pretty oval face, bright blue eyes, short brown hair, and the air of an eager, restless youth, which she was in reality.
He approached her and casually inquired, “Jackie, what’s the name of the janitor who does the night watch?”
She answered proudly, “He’s Jackson, my father. An ex-marine.”
“That’s good to know. What time does he come on duty?”
“From 6:30 P.M. until 7:00 AM.”
“That’s a long haul.”
“But, he can always rest in between the early morning hours when most people are asleep,” she chatted away.
“By the way, Jackie, what time do you finish work?” She looked at the office clock on the wall and replied, “In about two hours’ time.”
“Well, then, Jackie, I will return around that time. You can introduce me to your father and then we can walk down to the nearby McDonald’s as I need to talk to you about my present investigation.”
He noticed the startled expression in her eyes at the mention of the word, investigation, blurting out, “Sir, I know nothing…”
Jon realized that he had frightened her and needed to calm her down.
“Jackie, I assure you that you have nothing to fear. Just answer a few questions over your favorite snack. You can always ask your ex-marine father to tame me down if I misbehave. Do we have a deal?”
The twenty years or something was back to her old self, “Yes Mr.…..”
“Jonathan Bradley. See you later, young lady. Have a good day,” he wished her cheerfully.
After he had walked out of the real-estate office, he went to his car and sat in it while contemplating for the next few minutes over the new developments in the Samantha’s case.
Finally, he phoned Samantha.
