“How d'ye do?” he
said, reaching out his right hand.
“Pleased to meet you,
Mr. ...” answered Cody, shaking hands.
“Mason. But please
call me Charles. As I said to Michael on the way down, I don't think
there will be any problem with this first interview with the police.
Later on there may well be. The police have a serious problem with
homophobia and racism in their ranks. It's not as bad as it was.
But it's still there. So I'll call the office at 8.30 and get
somebody allocated to your case. He or she will sit in on all your
interviews. I'd do it myself, but my speciality these days is
commercial law, and anyway, I'm in court most of this week.”
“Thank you.” Cody
knew what he had to say but he was too shocked and depressed to put
any enthusiasm into his conversation.
“Dad, this is Luigi.
Luigi, my dad, Charles Mason.”
“G'day, Mr Mason.”
Charles Mason shook
Luigi's hand. His gaze was sharp. Luigi felt he would be a
formidable questioner in court. But there was also goodwill and
kindness in his face, and Luigi was able to thank him for his help
with a sincerity and gratitude that Cody hadn't been able to.
