"Hello.

You've reached the direct line of Doctor Frederick Chilton. As I am not available at the moment, you might assume I'm quite busy with something pressing. State your name and business, and I will return your call."

Comments

[beenwaitinglong]

Correct.

[A pause for a sip of coffee.]

He mentioned they attempted it, some time ago, but he was in little shape to take it seriously or try very hard to let it work.

[slightlyoffchilt]

If his attempt at therapy was documented, I'll need to obtain those -- you can get a court warrant, I'm sure? Then, with review of that, I can interview him at your leisure.

[beenwaitinglong]

Already attempted. Unfortunately, it seems there's no documentation to speak of, at least not that the state of Florida can dig up for me.

Will that be a problem?

[slightlyoffchilt]

No problem. Honestly -- it would probably make my job much more interesting. [And he grins at that.] Name the date you need me to analyze him.

[beenwaitinglong]

[A pause.]

Well, any time that's convenient for you is fine. Otherwise... Monday, perhaps.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Monday is perfect. Did he make bail? I don't mind coming to his holding facility, if that's the case.

[beenwaitinglong]

He made bail. Your office will be fine.

[slightlyoffchilt]

That makes this much easier. I can see him at three o'clock, in the afternoon, if that's appropriate to his schedule.

[beenwaitinglong]

That's just fine.

He was concerned about the prospect of confidentiality, though I assured him that all doctors, especially psychiatrists, are bound to such things.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Absolutely. Once he enters my office, he'll be considered a formal patient, and all the ethical rules apply.

[beenwaitinglong]

Sounds great.

I apologize for the last-minute request, but Mr. Lopez was just put into my caseload today. I'll make it up to you, though. How do you like your coffee?

[slightlyoffchilt]

Not at all! I'm happy to assist the legal professionals.

And -- Brazilian espresso, if possible. [A beat.] I tend to favor espresso.

[He thinks he's fancy for it.]

[beenwaitinglong]

Beyond possible. Also a favorite of mine.

[It remains to be seen if there isn't any coffee that isn't a favorite of his.]

[slightlyoffchilt]

You're a man of good taste, then.

[Chilton doesn't know coffee even a sixth as well as Godot does, but he knows what he likes.]

[beenwaitinglong]

Thanks. I'll bring you one of my personal blends to suit your preference, then.

Just make sure you follow the directions exactly.

[slightlyoffchilt]

I have no trouble following orders.

Or giving them.

[Heh.]

[beenwaitinglong]

It's nothing too tyrannical. Simply measurements for the water, milk and sugar, if you are so inclined to add them.

[He doesn't hold it against people do who. Honest. WEAK, PATHETIC CHILDREN]

I hope that you can make some headway with Mr. Lopez.

[slightlyoffchilt]

You are a highly thorough individual, Mr. Godot. [And that is a compliment, coming from Chilton's mouth.] I'll be sure to take good care of Mr. Lopez.

[beenwaitinglong]

Ha...! Merely an artist seeking to see his art properly displayed, in a sense.

Thanks again. I'll talk to you later regarding Mr. Lopez.
