A Christmas Caper Sassy Senior Sleuths 6 – Kathryn Mykel

“Not just the maintenance guy.” “If you’re looking for motives,” the man said, with a harsh laugh, “you have a long list of characters. In security you don’t make many friends, not with all that goes on around here.” An hour later, the private investigator returned to them with his findings. The maintenance man had an alibi for the entire shift.

He had been working with another employee, fixing a ride on the other side of the park. “If he had an alibi, why was he so evasive?” Pauline said, puzzled. “He runs a small scam and was afraid you’d latch onto that,” the detective said. “I’m just waiting for him to slip up big one of these days, and I’ll nail him on all the petty stuff.

I haven’t been able to narrow down who his accomplices are yet, they are always in costume.” “I would think that is something the authorities should already be aware of,” Pauline commented offhand. Nona harrumphed, “Back to square one. Let’s eat.” Sitting in a booth that resembled a brightly colored cartoon space capsule from the 1960s, the two women discussed the case over chocolate milkshakes at Granny’s Galactic Goodies.

“It is possible it could be the waste collection workers, and we have yet to interrogate the rest of the security personnel,” Pauline speculated. “I doubt it’s the waste collection employees. My money is on his disgruntled staff in the security office.” “Okay, what do we know? No signs of hit-and-run trauma, no physical wounds except for some minor burns? And the likely suspect had an alibi,” Pauline said.

Nona sucked on her shake straw, making a slurping noise when she got to the bottom of the cup. “The shake was a pleasant treat, but with free meals, you could not have picked a place with actual food?” Pauline questioned. “Dessert first,” was all Nona said. After a long pause of contemplation, Nona broke the silence and said, “I read they have this automatic vacuum system for the waste collection.

Maybe you are onto something. Maybe it was them.” “I don’t know how that could have killed the man, especially the way his body was positioned in the Cortility?” Pauline replied. Shrugging, Nona said, “Yeah, I guess you are right. Do you have any other theories?” “Sadly, no. Maybe we should head out and enjoy the park,” Pauline responded. “Yes, a ride on Space Cliff should provide some inspiration.”

“You do realize that is a rollercoaster . . . completely in the dark?” Pauline scoffed. “I think there is an age limit for those rides.” “Pishposh!” Nona uttered as she stood up to leave.
