The Case of the Missing Secretary: Part Two

Continuing to losing my mind over how much Paul and Perry love Della.

Part One here

When we last left our boys, they’d come to the conclusion that Della had gone to investigate a clue (a torn piece of dress) that they know belongs to the girlfriend of a hardened criminal. The boys had just confronted this guy at his cabin so now they’re getting a group together to go bust in and potentially save Della if they have to.

Okay but Perry telling Paul to let him go first and Paul immediately saying no “we go in together” ���🥺🥺

Then Paul saying “please be careful, Perry” and Perry being like “I shan’t!!!! *kicks in window*” he’s so feral!!!!

You know Paul is tagging along primarily to make sure Perry doesn’t get himself killed 😂

Anyway they bust in but no one is there - the criminal and his girlfriend ran after Perry and Paul confronted them earlier. So no Della :(

Perry is literally in the middle of a case so he has to go back to working on that while Paul keeps looking for Della.

Another example of how Paul is falling back on being practical in this situation. I’m sure he knows as well as Perry that the likelihood that Della might “walk out” on Perry is like less than zero but he’s a professional and it’s his job to 1) look at the evidence and 2) draw conclusions based on that evidence.

I can just imagine Perry’s face when Paul said that 😂 it probably could’ve melted glass 😂 you could tell Paul didn’t want to even suggest it too!

Even though Paul has to ask the tough question, he then immediately goes into caretaking mode. He’s worried about Perry as well as Della. So he suggests they go get a good nights sleep and (because he knows Perry well enough to know Perry won’t take care of himself just for the sake of taking care of himself) he uses the reasoning that Perry needs to be well-rested for court the next day. I like to imagine they went back to the hotel and cuddled up so Paul could try to get Perry to sleep.

Also I’m a child so obligatory heehee boner 😜

:( poor Perry he’s worried sick!

Don’t worry in the next (and last part) everything turns out okay!

Part Three here

This was a fun little twist where Paul and Della are having lunch together and then Perry joins them! I love Paul drinking his coffee and Della eating....whatever that is (jello???)

The Case of the Missing Secretary: Part Three

We finally get to find out what happened to our favorite confidential secretary! (Spoiler: she’s fine)

Part One here

Part Two here

Okay so quick summary if what led us up to this point. Perry and Della were on the returning leg of their cruise across the South Pacific when one of their fellow passengers was shot and thrown overboard. The passenger’s wife was accused of the crime so Paul, Perry, and Della are in San Fransisco defending her against the charge and investigating what really happened. About half-way through, Paul and Perry are out on the trail of a witness when they find out Della left the hotel without leaving a message and hasn’t returned for several hours.

The boys are very worried but Paul has his entire agency out looking for her. Paul finds outs that she left of her own volition and rented a car. They decide she’s likely out investigating a clue (a torn dress they presume belongs to the murderer) but they get really concerned when they discover the dress belongs to the girlfriend of a dangerous criminal they had confronted earlier. The boys rush over to his cabin only to find it abandoned and no sign of Della. They are understandably even more worried!

Perry has just spent the morning in court defending his client (although he’s obviously distracted) and now Paul has picked him up during the noon recess:

We'll find out why Paul didn't want to be the one to tell Perry in a second heehee but i think it's funny how irritable Perry is when Paul doesn't tell him something considering how often Perry leaves Paul in the dark during cases! "well, go ahead and be mysterious, then >:("

I also always think its hilarious when Perry tells his drivers to speed and that he'll pay for any tickets they get LOL he's literally so rich and so feral. It's also sweet he wants to get to Della as fast as possible <33

Once again, Perry busts in LOL this man has like -50 patience at any given moment. Then the first thing he does is hug Della GOD THEY ARE TOO CUTE!! And she snuggles up into his chest ;_; brb weeping about them ;_;

and his voice breaking when he says he needs her GOD THEY INVENTED ROMANCE AHHHH

and then we find out the truth! Della went missing on purpose because it turns out...

SPOILER

SPOILER

SPOILER

she saw the murder on the ship!!!! She went up on the deck to go look for Perry (who was out walking in the storm like the freak he is) and she looked up to the next deck to see a woman holding a man over the side, shoot him, then drop him over. It was raining so she didn't get a good look at the person but she's a material witness!!

However, she didn't think she could be compelled to testify in court because she's Perry's confidential secretary so she went into hiding to avoid having to talk to the newspapers. Which is honestly so funny because like girl if you had just told Perry this he could've helped you avoid the newspapers?? Like you could've just hid in the hotel room?? but unfortunately she, like her boyfriends, is also Feral so instead she did an elaborate scheme to disappear herself and ended up scaring the absolute shit out of her boyfriends. they're all such goobers!

Also turns out she isn't protected from testifying because she wasn't acting as Perry's secretary when she saw this happen. AND because the police know Perry & Paul would do anything to find Della, they followed them to the cabin. Two officers bust in and take Della in to be a witness for the prosecution :( Perry is about to fight them but Della tells him not to since it would just make things worse.

Poor Paul is trying to make Perry feel better and Perry is just like Della Street will commit perjury over my dead body you hear me!!!!!! like okay chill dude I think Paul is on the same page!! I do appreciate that Paul knows Della is a ride or die and wouldn't do anything to hurt Perry if she didn't have to that's sweet.

I also think its cute that Perry is packing Della's bag this time <3 last book she packed his bags <3

Anyway, Della testifies and Perry objects a lot but she tells the truth and it kind of makes Perry's client look bad but afterward he gives her a big hug and the newspapers take a picture of it heehee then he has a little dinner with his polycule:

Like I just love that he has dinner with the both of them in his room. A little work date now that they can be all together again <3 plus him telling Della that he was frantic with worry and Paul teasing him about it THEY ARE SO CUTE

And now that he has Della back, Perry is back in Perry Mode (TM) and ready to solve the case! (while also tormenting Paul of course heehee)

Thank you for reading :) They are all so dumb and in love <3

[theperrylleluniverse]

This is such peak trio silliness I love it

[theperrylleluniverse]

Thinking today how Perry is like an objectively big man who is built like a linebacker and somehow Paul is still big enough to make him look petite and cute 🥰

Perry would just tuck so perfectly into Paul’s neck if they hugged 🥰

And Della is also taller than average for a woman at that time (Barbara was apparently 5’-6” which is also my height heehee) and yet her boyfriends are so big that she looks so tiny next to them!

She’s the perfect size to rest her head on either of their chests 🥰🥰 and they can pick her up so easily (they do this in the show a couple of times and I’m always like 😍😍😍)

They just all fit together physically as perfectly as they do emotionally!!!

[theperrylleluniverse]

Look at them all dolled up figuring stuff out late at night <3 this is a date for them!

[theperrylleluniverse]

His strides are so ridiculously long he skips the entire bottom step!

[theperrylleluniverse]

Me: okay dude you’re going to read the books and just remember that it’s not going to be as polycule as the show like most of that was probably just the chemistry between the cast not necessarily the source material

Erle Stanley Gardner: So Della wants to go on a cruise with Perry and they’re going to share a room (totally platonically!!) then Paul and Perry went on a date to eat waffles together and someone calls Paul Perry’s boyfriend and he’s not going to dispute it :))

[theperrylleluniverse]

ARE

YOU

KIDDING

ME

1) I know it’s like degrading or whatever but unfortunately every time Perry calls Della “kid” I just go 🥺😍🥵👀 especially when he’s putting his arm around her waist and drawing her in tenderly….🥵🥵

2) a sportsball metaphor….

3) these two really do just kiss all the time????? ERLE

4) “he’d be a hell of a detective if he didn’t know a busy executive kissed his secretary one in a while” yeah sure Perry (and Erle) that’s definitely super normal and not just you at all uhuh everyone does it

5) DELLA TELLING PERRY TO FIX HIS HAIR AND PERRY BEING ANNOYED ABOUT IT AND THEN THATS THE FIRST THING PAUL MENTIONS

6) Perry and Paul immediately flirting about it???

7) Paul being driven crazy by Perry’s hair being all mussed up SHUT UP

8) And Perry fixes it right away without being stubborn about it!!!

THEY ARE ALL DATING
