The dispatcher asked questions.
I answered all of them.
Address. Names. Possible weapon. Suspect. Child present.
Then I called Dr. Harris, Julian’s pediatrician.
“Nick?” he answered, surprised. “Is everything all right?”
“No. I need you at my house or on the phone with paramedics when they arrive. Julian has had persistent crying and possible fever. There may also be unknown medication involved.”
A pause.
“What kind of medication?”
“I don’t know yet.”
Another pause, longer this time.
“I’m leaving now,” he said.
Then I called Gabriel Vale.
My attorney.
