Della and Perry knew that Sally was very anxious about the baby and so they each left the studio together to go and tell her the news. They found Sally in the family room with her nanny Jen playing a game. As soon as she saw her mommy and daddy, she asked "Is the baby here? Did Aung Lori have the baby?"

Della smiled at her little girl and took out her phone. She showed Sally the picture of Michael Junior and Lori at the hospital. Sally yelled "yippee! When can I go and see him?"

Della smiled at her little girl and said "Lori will be home in a couple of days and then we will all go over together. But, Lori said that you could call her tonight after supper, ok Della told her.

"Yes. Thank you."

Right after dinner Sally called Aunt Lori and Uncle Mike. She was such a kind person. She asked how her Aunt was feeling and how was the baby "I promise as soon as you get home I will come over and help take care of him. Babies are a lot of work." Sally told her.

Lori had to laugh Sally was a real young lady who really would do what she could to help. She thanked her and looked down at the baby in her arms. She was so proud of the little tyke.

Sally drew a picture for the baby and Aunt Lori and Uncle Mike. She was a pretty good artist and she put the drawing in a notebook so that it would not get damaged. Della smiled at her little girl. She was very thoughtful of everyone.

As Della and Perry were headed out to the hospital the next morning, Della started to think about that she was next. The last time they had been to the doctors it had been once every other week. Next week she too would start her ninth and final month. She couldn't wait.

The visit to the hospital was wonderful and although Lori and Mike both looked tired, they were glad to see them and proudly show off the new baby. Mike's parents were coming out to see the baby that day and his mother was going to stay for a few days to help with the baby. Lori had talked to her mom and dad and they were thrilled to get a picture of the baby. It was indeed a great day.

But there was never a dull day in the life of the Mason family. As Perry and Della arrived at the office, they were met once again by Paul Drake. He had been told about the baby and said that he and Sue would be stopping by to see Lori later on that day.

Paul took his seat in his favorite office chair and opened his notebook. He took a big sip of coffee and started reading to them from his notes. "I have done some checking and Brian did indeed owe Tammy a large sum of money. He had borrowed one thousand dollars from her. But, it turns out that Brian still owed the former owner of the clam shack. He is moving out of town and wanted that money. Brian had spent it all either on the shack or the track and word on the street is that Brian and George Chin had a big argument the day of the murder."

Perry thanked him and thought that perhaps it was time for him and Paul to meet with this George Chin, before he left for parts unknown. Perry got up to go to the Chin house with Paul and nodded to Della. Della knew that it meant that they would be gone for a while so she sat back and went to work on her job.

As Paul and Perry arrived in the neighborhood where George Chin and his wife lived they were impressed. It was an exclusive neighborhood and they had to ring a buzzer at the gate to be let in. Paul gave out a whistle "Brother the clam business must be a lot better than I thought. These are some very expensive homes.

Perry also wanted to know how a man that owned a little clam shack on the beach could afford such luxuries. There was something amiss here. Someone with this money would not be worried about a thousand dollar loan.

George Chin was in his study when he heard the buzzer. His maid came into the study shortly afterward and told him that there were two men at the gate a Perry Mason and a Paul Drake and they wanted permission to come and talk to him.

The last thing that he needed right now was a nosey attorney and private detective, but if he turned them down, they would hound him forever. He sighed and hit the button to let them on the grounds.

When the two friends came up the walkway the front door was opened by a man who introduced himself as George Chin. He took them into a large library and asked them to have a seat. "How may I help you" he asked them trying to appear as calm as possible.

Paul looked him right in the eye and said "We are here investigating the murder that happened at your old clam shack. We were wondering when was the last time that you saw Brian." he told him.

George was doing his best to act as though nothing was bothering him, but Paul and Perry could sense that he was very nervous. "Well, I saw him the day of the murder. I had gone to the clam shack to go over a few of the things and give him a little help." he told them.

Perry looked around at all of the expensive antiques and had seen the sports car in the garage. He wanted Paul to get to work on finding out where all this money came from.

The two men thanked George Chin and left. As Perry went back to the office Paul headed out to find out more about this George Chin.
