Chapter 10: searching for Nick (part1)
Summary: Judy and Theo find out Nick has been released from the hospital
Wilma is angry
Judy looked at the clock before saying," It has been over two hours since we got here."
Theo looked up from his phone before replying ," He is probably getting a complete medical examine and not a simple physical."
Judy asked," What is the difference?"
Theo sighed before answering," You know a regular physical is checking heart rate, pulse, blood pressure, and the other stuff. But a complete medical exam goes further than that. It includes blood works and if he really makes her angry. She will do the ultimate exam which checks everything from the tip of his head to the soles of his feet, she would even check him for parasites."
Judy asked," So how long does one of those examine last?"
Theo answered," Usually four to six hours." Before going back to his phone.
Judy asked," So what so interesting on the phone?"
Theo answered," Giving the chief an update and he is still mad at Nick for insulting him."
Judy replied," He was probably trying to get the chief to drop the whole thing by making him angry."
Theo laughed before saying," That sometimes does not work specially with people like the Chief and his family."
The door opened and Wilma walked in before saying," Theo, tell my brother I said hello and hang up the phone. We are going to talk about the patient."
Theo did as he was told before asking," What is the verdict?"
Wilma signed before saying," Besides the broken finger and a few injuries to his ribs, nothing serious but I gave him a muscle relaxer that will make him drowsy. I want a psychiatrist to talk to him tomorrow morning."
Judy asked," Who do you hates so much?"
Wilma answered," Why are you saying that?"
Judy replied," Nick can be a real nuisance and has gotten under a lot of people skin."
Wilma smiled before saying," My brother wants Nick to talk to the psychiatrist and hopefully prove he is mentally unstable to remain a police officer."
The door opened and the black panther entered before saying," Doctor Bison, Mister Ingry has ordered your patient out of the hospital. I came here to let you know. My brother is trying to talk Mister Ingry out of releasing your patient."
Wilma stood up before saying, "Officers please follow me, hopefully before Mister Wilde can get out of the hospital."
The trip to the examination room was quiet. Wilma was controlling her anger, Theo was on his phone, Judy was worrying about Nick, the security guard was wondering it he and his brother still had a job.
When they arrived at the door to the examination room, Nurse Erna said," When I saw Nick being escorted out. I knew you would want to talk with Mister Ingry." As she opened the door.
Richard pointed a finger at the Nurse and said," You no longer work here."
Wilma replied," Oh yes she does. Now you tell me why you released my patient and it has better be a good one."
Richard said," I know that he has to be the reason some of our drugs are coming up short. I figure he comes in here get one of you bleeding heart doctor to examine him and when you leave, he swipes medicines from the cabinets."
Wilma angrily replied," Do you ever read your emails? Do you ever talk to anyone about anything. Pharmacist Laura was filling out some prescription, when she came up short. She had just open the bottle. So she contact the company and also email ever member of the staff here, including your supervisor. So when the representative from the company came here, we were ready. After checking several unopened bottles, if was confirmed that the shortage was coming from the machine not putting the correct numbers of pills in each bottle and the drug company credited this hospital and sent notice to others customer to check their own orders."
Richard said," He is still a fox and probable would have stolen something before he left."
Theo grabbed Judy before asking," Mister Ingry, do you know that you have just slander Mister Wilde in front of five witnesses."
Richard replied," Foxes like Raccoons are nothing but Thieves and Scoundrels. The world would be better off without them."
Wilma grabbed Richard by his jacket collar before angrily saying," Let me tell you something right now. Just like with ever other species, there are some that are good and some that are bad. You know Hector, the raccoon, who gave you CPR and saved your life. Or Emma, the fox, that rescued your daughter from drowning. OR your cousin Wilbert, the badger, who is now in jail for embezzling money from this very institution . So don't tell me that all of one species or another is good or bad. Because the next time I hear you do anything like this again and I will have my brother have you arrested."
Richard in a smug voice asked," On what charges?"
Theo answered," Your not a doctor and have no right to release patients. That right there is something the District Attorney would prosecute you for."
Judy said," I don't mean to interrupt but we need to go find Nick."
Wilma looked at Judy before sweetly saying," You go find your friend." Before turning to Richard and sternly saying," We are going upstair and have a talk with your supervisor. Hopefully this does not cause the hospital any problems."
Judy replied," Thanks" Before starting out the door with Theo right behind her.
