“Where is he now?”
“In a hospital.”
“Didn’t the doctor send him to a hospital the first time he saw him?”
“Apparently not. It was a wound that wasn’t particularly serious unless complications set in. The doctor probably advised him to keep quiet and call him in the event any unusual symptoms developed.”
“Just what do you want me to get?” Drake asked.
“Dig up any information you can, find out his version of what happened the night of the shooting.”
Drake said, “Won’t I get into trouble, keeping this information from the police?”
“You haven’t any information, have you?”
“You’ve told me a lot of stuff.”
Mason grinned. “You don’t think that it’s incumbent on you to run to the police every time some lawyer gives you a goofy theory of a case, do you?”
