[Aimery calls at a time when he's fairly certain Davis is likely to be off duty, and thus likely to answer. Because he has no idea how to leave a message that isn't just weird.
[Though he still has Aimery's business card, Davis hadn't entered any of the contact information into his phone. The incoming call displays as unknown.]
There aren't many paramedics by the name of Davis in Metropolis who drive ambulance 17. [And also Aimery's the CEO of an international security company...]
Apologies for looking you up, but I felt I owed you an apology for my behavior that night and... there is something I think we should discuss.
This is a delicate subject to discuss on the phone, could we meet? Let me get you lunch, or coffee, or whatever you're comfortable with? As a would-be friend.
I can meet you for coffee. [because lunch would feel just as out of place as supper]
Can you tell me any of what this is about at least? I understand not wanting to talk about anything sensitive over the phone, but Mr. Goode, I have to admit that I feel a little cornered.
Please, call me Aimery, and I suppose I have cornered you, apologies. It's that... well, most people wouldn't have reacted the way you have, especially after the way I behaved. [There's a heavy dose of embarrassment in that last phrase]
Most people would have told someone else or barraged me with questions at the very least. But instead you've been generously discreet, and that's both comforting and confusing. It's hard to trust someone you don't know, and I have to trust you.

[He also remembers that caring for an injury was his primary concern and not sharing personal details...]
How do you know my last name?
[Now it's Davis' turn to worry. Or at the very least tread with caution.]

If you're going to sue me, Mr. Goode, I don't have anything you'd want to take.
no subject
I have no intention of suing you. Why on Earth would I do that?

[threats of malpractice suit are relatively common, and Davis didn't exactly to everything by the book]

I still am, if that's what you're worried about.

When is the best time to meet you? I usually work nights.
no subject
A morning or evening then? I've a very flexible schedule. Have you a preference for where?
