Drake said, “That’s something! How did you get it, Perry?”
“Last minute flash on the news broadcast. Della phoned me a few minutes ago.”
Drake said, “I’ll get on the job. Want me to do any investigating on that car business?”
“Just tag along behind the police,” Mason said. “Don’t bother to do anything on your own hook as yet. Just gather facts and keep me posted.”
“Call you later on?” Drake asked.
“No,” Mason said. “I’m going to sleep. They dragged me up in the wee small hours this morning.”
“I heard about that,” Drake said. “By the way, Perry, that man the boys were covering for you was also on the board of trustees of the hospital with Tidings… I presume you knew that.”
“Uh huh.”
“Mean anything?” Drake asked.
“I think so,” Mason said, “but I don’t know what — not yet.”
