Now Dr. Webber decided now was the perfect time to go to Perry's house and they could talk about tomorrow and the car.
Before he went over there, Dr. Webber dialed Perry's number.
"Hello?"
"Perry, are you available for a while?"
"Who is this?"
"Dr. Webber."
"Sure. Come right over. I'm not doing anything at the moment."
"Thanks, Perry. I'm on my way. Something we need to talk about."
Then he hung up.
Hamilton only stayed until Dr. Webber showed up. Just so he knows Perry wasn't alone until he came over and parked in the driveway.
Hamilton was almost on the way out when Dr. Webber made it to the front door, so he opened for him.
"Thank you, Mr. Burger."
"You're welcome. Perry, he's here."
"Do you want me to hang around for a while longer, Hamilton?"
"I can't, Perry. I've been here long enough. I'm sure he has a story to share with you as well."
"You bet I do. You're free to go, Hamilton. I'm sure you have some other stuff that needs to be taken care of right now."
"Yes, I do. See you tomorrow, Doc."
"In eight hours from now."
"Okay, Doc. Tell me what you came up with. Hamilton did tell me about the tour at the garage with Paul and the mechanic about the car."
"That's why I'm here, Perry. I also heard something that you're interested in what happened in what went on with your father. I thought you knew that stuff by now."
"Not much."
"Tell me about the car, Doc. What went wrong with it?" Perry kept asking.
"I know you're curious to see it, Perry, but I talked with your attorney the other day or two about your car. I made up my mind that we can show you tomorrow before going to the court date."
"It's still at nine o'clock, right?"
"Yes, it is. I will be there tomorrow before then and you can look at the car with the Johnsons and come up with a price they should pay for letting you have this condition."
"Hamilton said I look a bit better since the other day what happened in court."
"Yes, you do. That's probably why we called for a twenty - four hour recess. I know I can't tell you what to do, Perry, I'm only trying to protect you for a while after what I told you on that story about the patient at the appointment. When you see the car tomorrow morning, you'll see why we didn't give you much attention about the car."
"Hamilton also said I still have a long way to recover from the accident."
"He's right, Perry. Once you're one hundred percent back to normal, then we'll let you drive your car again."
"The same car, is that right?"
"No. You'll see it for yourself tomorrow what the car looks like."
"All right."
"I just said this before, but I can't tell you what to do, but I still want you to rest more when I leave."
"I thought you had a story to share with me."
"Yes, I do. Just let me talk, Perry. Do you remember me mentioning your father?"
Perry nodded.
"There's another case he was involved in, Perry."
"Tell me. I've been getting lots of stories since you told me to stay here for twenty - four hours."
"I don't remember where I heard this, Perry, but I can tell you that your father had some case that involved a customer and store management at a retail store."
"Was the case solved?"
Dr. Webber shook his head.
"No. He had something happen to him."
"What was that?"
"Being shot at. I guess this is another reason I wanted to protect you, Perry, whether you like it or not."
"I asked my mother for files of cases he kept over the years. Maybe I can reopen that case of his. Paul wants the information so he can track them down."
"Last time I heard, Perry, you can't track down the customer because that person isn't alive anymore."
"Good thing Dad survived being shot at," Perry said.
"He was lucky. I'm sorry he was murdered a couple months ago. This is all I can think of to share the stories with you. What has your mother told you?"
"Some of the cases he worked on when they met. He stepped down after I was born," Perry answered.
"By the way, Perry, you can stay here by yourself until court is ready. You don't need anymore company for tonight. When you wake up in the morning, you'll be in a more better condition than you were since the first day of the accident. I will see you at eight - fifteen tomorrow morning."
