There was a long silence. David sat there, his eyes tightly shut.
He heard Dr. Patterson’s voice. “I won’t promise a damn thing, but I’ll see her. Where is she?”
David turned to look at him. “She’s in the intensive care unit at San Francisco Memorial Hospital.”
“Meet me there at eight o’clock tomorrow morning.” David had difficulty finding his voice.
“I don’t know how to—” “Remember, I’m not promising anything.”
And don’t appreciate being scared out of my wits, young man. Next time, try the telephone.
David sat there, rigid. Dr. Patterson looked at him. “What?”
“There’s another problem.” “Oh, really?” “I-I don’t have any money.
I’m a law student, and I’m working my way through law school.”
Dr. Patterson was staring at him. David said passionately,I swear I’ll find a way to pay you back.
If it takes all my life, I’ll see that you get paid. I know how expensive you are, and I—”
“I don’t think you do, son.” “I have no one else to turn to, Dr. Patterson. I-I’m begging you.”
