Maryanne heard a slight tone of resignation. “Is something wrong?”
“I worry that I’m making too much out of this,” Luke admitted. “I’ve transported hundreds of patients and when they’re safely back in bed I just go to my next call. Helga should be no different.”
“But she is and that’s okay,” Maryanne said reassuringly. “The odds are still high that Helga died of natural causes due to the stress of the surgery.”
“If that’s the case, I’m wasting Jennifer’s time.”
Maryanne disagreed. “As an investigative reporter that’s 90% of her job, Luke. She doesn’t have to look any further into Helga’s death, and if she does and finds nothing, she’ll be off on another story. I bet she’s trying to find the tramp who slept with that councilman. Now there’s a story to pursue.”
“I suppose. I bumped into Dr. Singh awhile ago and she said she’d given Jennifer new information about that John Doe in the morgue.”
“See, she’s already got a lot on her investigative plate,” Maryanne smiled widely, hoping one day she’d be doing the same thing. “You look tired, Luke. Go home and get some sleep.”
Maryanne got up and walked into a nearby hallway, discreetly followed by Luke. With no cameras present, Luke gave Maryanne a kiss.
“Meet me for a late breakfast?” Luke asked.
“You know it,” Maryanne replied.
Luke headed to the Admitting area to return his radio, as Maryanne sat back down in her desk chair.
A minute later, as Luke entered the lobby’s revolving doors, Maryanne waved and warned him, “Don’t watch any Forensic Files shows before bed!”
“I hear ya,” he said with a grin.
