TAILIEUCHUNG - Kickback

Chapter 1 The Case of the Missing Conservatories. Sounds like the Sherlock Holmes story Conan Doyle didn't get round to writing because it was too boring. Let me tell you, I was with Conan Doyle on this one. If it hadn't been for the fact that our secretary's love life was in desperate need of ECT, there's no way I'd have got involved. Which, as it turned out, might have been no bad thing. | Kickback Val McDermid Kickback Author Vai McDermid Category Thriller Website http Date 23-October-2012 Page 1 144 http Kickback Val McDermid Chapter 1 The Case of the Missing Conservatories. Sounds like the Sherlock Holmes story Conan Doyle didn t get round to writing because it was too boring. Let me tell you I was with Conan Doyle on this one. If it hadn t been for the fact that our secretary s love life was in desperate need of ECT there s no way I d have got involved. Which as it turned out might have been no bad thing. I was crouched behind the heavy bulk of the elevator machinery holding my breath desperately praying I d pick the right moment to make my move. I knew I wouldn t get a second chance with a nasty bag of works like Vohaul s hit man. I caught sight of him as he emerged from the stairwell. I leaped to my feet and threw myself at one of the pair of heavy pulley attachments suspended from the ceiling. It shot across the room towards my relentless opponent. At the last minute he turned spotted it and ducked letting it whistle over his head. My mouth dried with fear as he caught sight of me and headed menacingly in my direction. I dodged round the elevator machinery trying to keep it between us so I could make a dash for the stairs. As he rushed after me I desperately swung the other pulley towards him. It caught him on the side of the head the momentum plunging him over the Up of the lift shaft into the blackness below. I d done it I d managed to stay alive I let my breath out in a slow sigh of relief and leaned back in the chair hitting the key that offered me the Save Game option. A glance at my watch told me it was time to leave Space Quest III for the day. I d had the half-hour lunch break that was all I could spare in my partner Bill s absence. Besides I knew that our secretary Shelley would be returning from her own lunch break any minute now and I didn t want her wandering in and catching me at it. While the cat s away
