When Della got there, she found Cindy's car in the driveway, so all she did was park next to hers. Della found Cindy waiting in the car since she wasn't sure how much longer she would have to wait.

Both of them got out of their cars and walked up to the front door of the house.

"How is your day, Cindy?"

"It's good so far. Glad Paul was able to give me a new job working with you since Adam retired. I like to stay busy on murder cases when I'm not performing," Cindy told Della as she unlocked the house.

The house looked like it hadn't been touched since the last time they were both here before.

"What was Mrs. Mason like?" Cindy asked as Della closed the front door behind herself and they headed to the office where George kept the file cabinet of his cases and all that.

"I didn't know her very well, but she was nice, just like Perry kept telling us. I wish she would have been around longer so we could have that chance to know each other more. Perry remembered that Ada seemed to like Paul since they were able to spend some time alone without either myself or him around. She still wasn't so sure about me."

"So from what I've been hearing, she was having mental issues."

"Yes, she was. Nobody could find out what was wrong. Perry's father had to step down sometime before Perry was born and take care of them both since she had problems with him. Even she told him her mother was there to help out until she died."

"Sorry, Della. Sorry I asked a personal question there."

"That's all right, Cindy. Maybe if Perry starts to trust you more, he might be able to share more of the story. His father was already gone so Paul and I couldn't meet him for ourselves and ask about his cases he left behind," Della told Cindy.

"So he was an only child?"

"Exactly," Della answered.

"So was I, but I had friends."

"What gave you the idea to be a detective?"

"I don't know. My mother and father weren't too crazy about that, but accepted it shortly after I got my license. They wanted me to stay in music and record songs of my own."

"Do you have any music that's recorded?"

"Yes. Paul's interested in seeing me perform."

"I'll have to talk with Perry about that and see if we could go to a show or two of yours in the future."

"That would be great, Della. I get sold out shows every time I have a date to perform."

"Wow. No wonder you've made a name out of yourself, Cindy."

"Remember I said I wanted to go bigger than just a part – time detective and artist?"

"Yes. What do you want to do that's bigger?"

"I don't know. I thought about politics, but I doubt I'd do that in the future. Maybe some generations in the future of the McCarey family might do that."

Della only listened to the family history of Cindy from the past until her, and she was impressed by it.

"So that means you have to be well – known in your family?"

"Yes. It was somehow a belief in the family until the future generations who decide on what they want to do," Cindy answered.

Della seemed to like Cindy so far, even though they've already had a few conversations. She'll have to ask Perry what he thought of her so far, but he hasn't spent so much time with Cindy like she and Paul have.

She'll talk with Perry about that later.

"When is your next show?" Della asked.

"I'm not sure. It might be after this case is finished."

Della understood what she meant.

"In the past, has Adam been to any of your shows?"

"Yes, several times," Cindy answered.

"Glad he liked your music."

"He always has. Maybe he'll come to more in the future," Cindy said.

Now Cindy had a question for Della.

"I don't know if I should ask you this, but was this the same house Perry grew up in?" Cindy asked with curiosity.

"I don't know. You'll have to ask him that yourself when we see him at the office later," Della told her, "but it was a good question I should have thought of."

They kept going through every single file that George had from his cases in the past.

"Here's a case about the retail store you just finished, Della," Cindy said.

"Yes. We decided to put that file in a finished case for George since he couldn't do it himself."

"That's a great idea. Have you started that yet?"

"Not yet, but Perry and I are talking about it now."

"I don't mind helping out. There were some cases Adam didn't get finished either, which made him disappointed. Maybe I could talk with him about it and see what he thinks of the idea of Perry getting it done."

"That's not a bad idea, Cindy, but what would his reaction be?"

"I don't know."

"Did Adam say what his favorite case was back then that got finished with George?" Della asked.

"I never thought of asking him that question, but I doubt he played favorites with clients."

"Good thing you're still introducing yourself to our clients. We don't see much of our clients since Perry started since half of them aren't alive anymore. They call us whenever they have a question or two."

"That makes sense. How about this client you just had with the lost child?"

"Cindy, there wasn't a client in that case. His mother was one of the witnesses, so she didn't have to be a client."

"Why would I miss out on that part? I wasn't even working with you in that case. Paul did. He was just showing me what to do before meeting you and Perry if he couldn't show up and had somewhere else to be at the same time."

"Would you mind taking this file to the office, Cindy? The one about Goodwill since it is now finished?"

"Yes. I don't mind. Do you keep files of every case you work on?"

"Yes, we do. This was one of George's, so that counts."

"I'll call Adam when we're done here and go from there."

"You don't need to call him today, Cindy. I'm sure he's enjoying retirement."

"Yes, Della, he is. He said to call whenever there's a question. I guess this is one of them I might want to ask him about."

"You'll have to talk with Perry about this first if he wants to work on the stuff Adam didn't get done. I think George's cases are enough."

"You're probably right, Della. What file did Perry want us to look for?"

"The Taylors. They wanted him to work on a case about a high school principal who was murdered in the office."

"That's too bad. I didn't go to that high school."

"Neither did we," Della agreed.

Cindy found another file.

"Could it be this one, Della?" Cindy asked, handing it over to her.

"Let me see," Della said, taking the file from Cindy.

"Perry told me a while ago that he doesn't want me to leave anything finished."

"He's right, Cindy. You did the same thing with Adam. If you could do it with Adam, you can do it with us."

"Now that we found it, lunchtime."

"What time is it?" Della asked.

Cindy looked at her watch.

"12:15."

"You're right. Let's get to lunch."

"I'll take both of the files if you'd like, Della."

"Would you mind? Now we need to finish cleaning up here and putting everything back where it was from the last time we were here."

"Then we can get out of here," Cindy agreed.

"When we get back to the office if Perry's there, you both can talk about getting together with just you. I've already done that, so I think it's your turn with him."

"I'll have to see what he says first before doing anything."

"Smart idea, Cindy."

"How is Perry doing with his being disabled?" Cindy asked, remembering what happened a while back.

"Still trying to get used to it. He has to be extra careful with some areas like his doctor wanted."

"What did the doctor say about driving again?"

"He only wanted to test Perry out for a week before he can go back and see if it worked out."

"He seems to be doing okay, is he?" Cindy asked.

"So far, but I think Perry needs to check in with the doctor again soon and see if he still says yes."

"If he says no, then what?"

"That means all of us have to drive him around."

"Does that mean Perry is still trying to get used in handicapped parking lots?"

"Yes, he is. Just like you and myself, he never had that kind of problem until recently."

"I feel bad for Perry," Cindy replied.

"So do I, and Paul as well. I think the doctor still wants to work on accommodations for Perry to get used to that he needs."

"Like what?"

"I don't know what the doctor wants for Perry. Hope everything will work when we give it more time."

"Geez. Sorry, Della."

"You don't need to apologize, Cindy. Even he doesn't like the idea of being disabled with whatever the doctor came up with."

"Even if it means a wheelchair?"

"Even that."
