NO DICE, a Santa Monica Murder Mystery, by Mar Preston

Last section posted on 9/24

Chapter Nine, second two

The faces of the cop by her door and the old fellow with the measuring tape kept popping out at Ginger, jumping in her face, startling her, scalding her with what-might-have-beens. Stress clamped down all her muscles and she ached from head to toe like an abscessed tooth. She forced herself to get through the essential things at the top of the To Do list. Get to work. Check email, do press calls. Say hello to the volunteers and go and hide in her office.

She put her forehead down on her desk and gradually felt better. Ramon came in and stood looking at her. Just as she was about to bring up the subject of last night’s council meeting fiasco, Wally called. Ginger punched him onto speaker phone.

“How could you let that happen?” Wally bellowed.

“I had nothing to do with that. That was Martina acting on her own.”

“It’s your job to control your volunteers,” he said, slurring his words.

“Nobody controls her. Including you, Wally.”

“Did you see the paper? They’re laughing at you. Do something.”

“Like what, Wally? Like what? You tell me what. Precisely what.”

Wally hung up on her, leaving Ramon and Ginger looking at each other.

“He sounds like he’s drunk, doesn’t he?” Ginger reflected.

“He’s never made any secret that he goes to AA. Hasn’t it been something like, what, twenty years though since he’s had a drink?”

“Think so.”

“What does it matter what he thinks. He’s gone over to the Dark Side–even though he denies it. I’m trying my best to keep the press away from him.”

“He told one of the volunteers that the police were harassing him. Maybe that’s what tipped him over the edge,” Ramon added.

Ginger spent the morning on the phone soothing the other members of the coalition and the councilmembers who blamed her for the disruption in City Council chambers. Martina had staged battles in the city for years and everybody dreaded the prospect of going up against her. It was how she got away with being outrageous. Sometimes she fought the battles nobody else would take on. Ginger called her and found Martina serenely indifferent to any consequences.
