Chapter 38
“I’ll tell you something else,” I said. “Having a telepath with you when you’re conducting even a minor investigation can be an asset.”
“Meaning?” Father said.
“For example, I asked Valerius to tune in on the hospital administrator’s thoughts and see if there was anything he didn’t want me to see, such as mistreatment of patients.”
“That makes perfect sense,” Father said
I got out of the car at my house and, while Stefano was retrieving my bag, Valerius got out of the car long enough to give me a hug. “I had a great time at the opera, Marco,” he said. “Thank you very much.”
“You’re welcome, kiddo,” I said. “Maybe we can do it again sometime.”
“I also enjoyed helping you with your meeting at the hospital; it was interesting.”
“Yeah, and you were very helpful. In fact, I couldn’t have done it without you.”
