It was Sunday morning and Paul decided to take one last trip to the beach where the Clam Shack was located He knew that something with the murder had to do with George Chin. The weather was getting very warm now, and there were actually a couple of brave people going in the water

There he met Linda getting ready to open the Shack. She was acting as though she was very busy, but Paul could see that she was watching his every move. Linda was a nervous wreck, she had been approached by two men that frightened her. They spoke with a Spanish accent and they had been asking questions, questions she had no idea about. They were there about George she was sure. Now what did Paul Drake want? She wished that people would leave her alone.

Meanwhile Lyle was homeless and neither one of the girls that he had been seeing wanted anything to do with him. Then he had that pesky Paul Drake snooping around with his life. The night before he had spent the night under a bridge and he was not going to put up with that. He had been at the local bar when he heard the news there was a huge raid at George Chin's house. The word on the street was that it had been the FBI. Everyone at the bar knew that his sister had bought the place and wanted to know what he knew. He knew nothing, but he was definitely going to go over and talk to his sister. He left the bar and headed over to the Clam Shack where he knew Linda would be.

Perry was at home working on the case while Della sat next to him working on the laptop. There had to be something on the computer that would give them a hint as to who the guilty person was. She was afraid that George Chin was going to leave town and then they would never find the truth.

But, that morning fate happened to come knocking on George Chin's door. Perry Mason was not the only one concerned that George Chin might leave town or the country, and to Mr. Chin's dismay he was awakened by the FBi and was arrested on drug trafficking charges. As Paul went by the home and saw all the happenings he called Perry.

Della had wondered about the drug part herself. The man had too much money for a local shop owner. He was known to make many trips down to Mexico and Central America and he owned his own private plane. He would be the type of person that would be approached about bringing drugs into the country.

Perry smiled as he leaned over and told Della what had just happened to George Chin. "We don't have to be concerned about Mr. Chin leaving the country the FBI has just picked him up.

Paul had a contact at the local FBI office and he would be contacting him this afternoon. 'Perhaps while they were investigation they found out some things that might help our case.' he thought.

The day was busy and it was Sunday. The whole family was there to celebrate the upcoming birth of their child and Della and Lori had insisted on making a family meal. Della and Perry had a huge formal dining room and everyone would fit easily into the room. Della took out her new china and other decorations for the festivities and Sally set the table.

Sally wanted to help and so she was outside with her daddy and both of her grandpas working on the yard. The Mason's had a gardener so there wasn't much to do, but they were trying to keep out of the way of the women who were busy cooking dinner.

The dinner was fit for a king and as they all enjoyed the perfectly baked ham with pineapples an cherries, there was a lot of laughter and love at the table. The Street family and the Mason family had become as one and the time was great.

The following morning everyone said their good-byes and got Della and Perry to promise them that they would be called as soon as there was any word about the baby. It had been settled Sally was going to stay with her aunt while Della was in the hospital. Sally had stated that although, she wanted to see the baby, she knew that she would have him for his entire life. When her aunt had promised that she would bring her to the hospital to meet her new brother, she was very excited. She had not been allowed to see the other babies, but because this was her brother she could see him. She had been practicing how to hold the baby right for the past few months and she couldn't wait.

Linda was very nervous at her Clam Shack and was thinking about trying to sell it. She no longer could enjoy working there. There was too much work for a single person and she was not making the money that she had hoped she would. Now the business was so busy that she had to hire someone to help her. This was taking more from her profits and she was getting very discouraged.

Lyle was sick and tired of being out on the streets and as he approached the Clam Shack, Linda saw him. She tried to go to the back where he couldn't see her, but she was too late. "Don't bother trying to hide Linda, I see you." he called from the front of the booth.

"What do you want Lyle?" she demanded.

"What I have to say is private Linda. I don't think that you want the whole world to hear what I have to say."

Linda knew that it was useless to argue and as she went around the back to meet him she cringed. Lyle was no good and she wondered what he was going to have to say. "I have news for you dearie. Today there was a raid at George Chin's house. He has been dealing drugs probably right out of here. You will be next. They probably will be raiding you soon." he laughed.

Linda panicked he was right. She had always thought that perhaps her boss had been doing something other than running the Clam Shack. Now what was she going to do? She had no money and if the FBI came she would surely go to jail. She looked up at Lyle and asked him "What should I do?"

Lyle smiled, he liked being in control of people's lives and he knew that Linda was in trouble deep trouble. He put his arm around her and told her "Don't worry Linda I have a plan."
