It's just past eight. When I hear the sirens, I peeked through the front curtains, the sirens air, getting closer. I can see the reflection of the red and blue lights in the palm trees. Then I see the ambulance. It zooms round the corner down the street towards Jerry's house, and then it zooms by. I watched as the lights go around the curve and up up the street to the club. By the time I reached the clubhouse, I see the crowd gathered at the door to the ballroom. Inside, pepper kneels on the parquet. On the floor is spiff on her back, an oxygen mask over her face. Medics are working on her. As we rushed to the hospital, Pepper tries to explain. They were dancing and she was laughing. And then she just went down like a negative made it. I tell the nurse who I am. I am her husband. She tries not to re activists, says the checking for everything. Heart stroke. I tell them her kidneys are an end stage renal failure, the nurse asks. Is she taking medication on dialysis? No, he's not under treatment. No. Who is your doctor? Doctor? Sir, Who is your doctor? And when did your wife last see him? I opened my mouth to answer, but I am saying I spit. They're bringing her into the I. C. U on a stretcher. Her face has a grimace on it. Pepper stands and groans. She's in such pain. The nurse says she's been asking for her husband. A rush of warmth comes over me. Then I think. Which husband did she ask for? I go into the room. The wash of the respirator, the beef of the heart monitor crowd my thoughts As the doctors and nurses whisper behind me, someone taps my shoulder. A gentleman wants to see I go into the hall standing there is a little bald man with the police badge. Sergeant Padilla. I'm, uh, sorry about your wife. Hope everything works out. May I speak to you a moment? Certainly, Sergeant. There was a death on your street this evening. Mr Jerry Walden now. Exhaust fumes. Very old car, but pretty. I wanted to ask was there anything you might have noticed about him recently? Anything peculiar? No. No. Well, well, he he did tell me. He told me recently actually that his wife was very ill terminal. He seemed despondent, despondent. E Well, because we'll have to treat it. Is any mysterious death. See if we find some knockout drug in his system or a bump on the head bruise, I think to myself, you won't find drugs and you won't find a bruise. Still, I bet we come out with suicide.
