PARTI
Sleepy Creek Dinner Theatre was progressing well financially, and didn't need a black mark against it.
The mysteries offered were suspenseful, solvable (after some obvious twists) and most of all, fun.
Weekend murder solving was becoming big business,one that the town needed in order to supplement
it's total incoming revenue.
The most popular get a way weekend was by far, Halloween, The drama for the upcoming weekend
was entitled "The Ghost Walks at Midnight." Halloween fell on the weekend this time, Friday night.
Patrons would check in Thursday, October 30th and stay until November 2nd.
Three murders had been committed at the dinner theatre within the past nine months, all of them being
local actors, and also full time employees of the local U. S. Government Weapons Installation located
five miles from the town, namely A. I. W. L.
American International Weapons Laboratory was the county's largest employer. Weapons design and
placement, especially missiles was the base's specialty.
The new CM-19 ballistic missile was being developed here and security was very tight. If the CM-19 plans
got into the wrong hands, major damage to other countries could occur. The missile was capable of
enormous destruction..
There had been two attempts to break into A. I. W. L. to steal the preliminary diagram for the CM-19.
One try, the most recent September 29th , had been partially successful, but not enough to complete
an entire draft.
The Agency was keeping track of the whole situation, but there wasn't much information to collect.
Thorough investigation of all three murders did, however, reveal connection to German intelligence.
The Agency was positive that another attempt would be made soon to capture the rest of the CM-19
Plans. Therefore, the felt it was necessary to send two agents in to solve the case.
PART II
"The Ghost Walks at Midnight" featured light comedy with dramatic twists. Guests at the mystery
weekend dinner theatre actually participated in trying to solve the "crime". A Halloween party was
scheduled Friday night as a prelude to start the drama.
Lee and Amanda were assigned as a married couple, from the D. C. area celebrating their Anniversary.
They arrived at Sleepy Creek Thursday night, with reservations for a single room. Their cover names
were Lee and Amanda Simpson.
Philip and Jamie were spending the weekend with their father, and Dottie was visiting friends, so
Amanda 's schedule was not hurried for a change.
The couple decided to observe the surroundings of their quest with the excuse of getting a snack.
In actuality, they were hungry. The only open area of the dinner theatre was, luckily, the snack bar.
They enjoyed roast beef sandwiches and milk. Milk, for Lee Stetson, will wonders ever cease.
As they dined, Lee observed them being watched out of the corner of his eye. In the shadows was
Mark Lindley, director of Sleepy Creek, and a German intelligence agent.
Instead of walking back to their room, Lee and Amanda decided to take an evening stroll around the area.
The starry night was beautiful, like twinkling lights on a Christmas tree. When placed as background
for a picturesque little town , the effect was romantic and peaceful.
Lindley continued to follow the two as they walked, hand in hand, gazing at the stars.
"Amanda, we're being trailed, so it's pretty important that we play our cover to the hilt, after all, it's our
second anniversary. We've got that scenario down, haven't we," Lee reminded her.
"Yes, dear," she said jokingly, a sneaky smile crossing her face. "C'mon now, let's get serious," Lee
cautioned her, "we've got to make this look effective."
"O.K., o.k." replied Amanda. "Coming closer together would help to start with," Lee smiled seductively,
o.k., dear," He proceeded to place his hands around Amanda's waist and touched her lips lightly with
his. Amanda wrapped her arms around Lee's neck, and moved as close as she could to him. "Amanda,"
Lee murmured, as he kissed her lips voraciously. Both were breathless when they finally broke apart.
"Oh, God, Lee , that was intense," whispered Mrs. King. "You know that wasn't just a cover kiss , Amanda, I really meant it," purred Lee, looking into her beautiful, brown eyes, and moving in for
another kiss. She eagerly responded, moving her hands around his waist tightly. "Do you know what
you do to me with just a simple kiss,?" he murmured against her mouth . "The same goes here, Scarecrow," she managed to say catching a breath.
A few more minutes went by with the situation between the two rapidly becoming heated and passionate.
Lee broke unsteadily and weakly said, "I think we've convinced him by now that we're having a great
Anniversary. Let's go back to our room."
"Fine by me," Amanda followed , mesmerized by this special man in her life, and all that was enfolding.
"Amanda, you can use the bathroom first, I'll relax and take notes, and check in with Billy, so take your
time." Amanda nodded, slipping in to take a shower, and trying to still the hormones running rampant
inside her, at the nearness of Lee.
