Parental problems

Judge Parker, 7/16/24

Sorry to sound like, you know, a worrywart, but I think that if I had glimpsed what looked very much like my dead father wrapped in chains under water, I might ... not spend my time relaying that information to my friend as if it were a mildly interesting dream I had? I dunno, I might call home at that point. "Abbey!" I'd say, if I were her. "What's Sam up to? Seen him lately? I don't suppose he's working on any cases where he might get murdered and his corpse dropped into the Long Island Sound? You'd probably know something about that, if that were going on, right?" That's what I'd do. I don't want to tell Sophie how to live her life. But it just seems like maybe it'd head off some misunderstandings.
