Tess Russell arrived on the float house later that day with a new Avon catalogue and some gossip, which I welcomed, because I wasn"t really privy to women"s gossip very much. I usually missed out on local juicy news that everyone else seemed to know. Nothing important but it was good to be in the loop.
Mark had been seen drinking alone at the Red Ox Inn. A certain older woman had been seen to join him. Nobody I knew, but her name was Olivia and she was a nurse down at the clinic in Campbell River, commuted every morning and afternoon on the ferry because she loved it there on the island.
Firewall Eddie was back at work and sober again. He was missing his g*n and they wouldn"t issue him another one. Probably lost it in a poker match.
Speaking of poker matches, my old boss, Lorne O"Hallor
