On his way back to San Francisco, David thought, I kept my end of the bargain. I talked to her.
If she really thinks she’s telling the truth, then she’s crazy. I’ll get her to Jesse, who will plead insanity, and that will be the end of it.
His heart went out to Steven Patterson. At San Francisco Memorial Hospital, Dr. Patterson was receiving the condolences of his fellow doctors.
“It’s a damn shame, Steven. You sure don’t deserve anything like this....” “It must be a terrible burden for you.”
“If there’s anything I can do...” “I don’t know what gets into kids these days. Ashley always seemed so normal....”
And behind each expression of condolence was the thought: Thank God it’s not my kid.
When David returned to the law firm, he hurried in to see Joseph Kincaid.
Kincaid looked up and said, “Well, it’s after six o’clock, David, but I waited for you. Did you see Dr. Patterson’s daughter?”
“Yes, I did.” “And did you find an attorney to defend her?” David hesitated. “Not yet, Joseph.”
“I’m arranging for a psychiatrist to see her. I’ll be going back in the morning to talk to her again.”
Joseph Kincaid looked at David, puzzled. “Oh? Frankly, I’m surprised that you’re getting this involved.
Naturally, we can’t have this firm associated with anything as ugly as this trial is going to be.
