GAS GRILLED CHEF!
a Dead Chef thriller story
by M. L. Buchman
1 -Yesterday-
Grill-chef Penelope Boudreaux headed out to her Fire Dragon Ultimate Platinum Grill perched in the two-story glass pavilion at the end of the dock. Lake Pontchartrain glittered, the waves dancing before the warm morning breeze.
This was her domain. The world could peek in through the glass walls and admire, but none dared enter without express invitation. It was where she entertained her friends, posh parties that sent glittering light out over the lake’s waters far into the night.
Upstairs, in a discretely curtained bedroom, is where she entertained her lovers.
But most of all, the glass pavilion was where she filmed her weekly cooking show for the local network.
She wanted one more round of practice before her next time appearance on camera. It wouldn’t be the local cable network, nor the local affiliate of the national network like it should be. This time it would be national. The Cooks Network invitation—signed by Kate Stark herself—to a Belles of the Hot Grill Cook-off had placed the future within easy grasp of her perfectly manicured nails and she wasn’t about to bungle it through lack of preparation.
The prize was a typical ten thousand dollars-on-an-oversized-check reward which would barely pay her expenses for the trip and definitely wouldn’t pay for her beautiful grill, but that was only the stated prize. Penelope lusted after the unstated prize—a shot at her own show on the biggest cooking television network of them all—the same way the new garden-boy lusted after Penelope.
Just this morning he’d proven that his desire was backed up with acceptable technique and exceptional heft. When he’d finally unveiled that impressive supply of raw material, any concerns she’d had regarding skill had gone out the window. She’d let him take her right in her private boudoir in the big house where even her husband Walter didn’t dare tread. The boy didn’t have much imagination, but she had plenty of ideas of what to do with all that equipment the next time.
But now she had to cook.
She tossed a scoop of wood chips into the dedicated smoker and turned it on. Then she dug into the refrigerator built into the
