"You think Stegman took Elmer up to the roof?" Sonny asked Carrie,
his eyes widening as he thought about it. If Elmer hadn't been trying to commit suicide and the more that Sonny thought about it, the more that he felt sure that if Elmer was going to do such a think it certainly wouldn't be on the hospital roof. "You know he wouldn't even go out on the roof when we found out that there were these two nurses who were up there...."
Sonny suddenly stopped when he noticed both Louis and Hook looking at him suspiciously. "Admiring the view. They were just admiring the view and I wanted to go and.... Well, check out the view too but Elmer wouldn't go out there. It totally freaked him out. I think he's scared of heights or something." Sonny felt his own anger increasing at the thought that Stegman could have done something like that to his friend. Okay, Elmer could act like an idiot at times but still, he didn't deserve something like that. And Johnny B. Goode hadn't checked that roof fencing in months.
What if Elmer had stumbled against the fencing and fallen?
"How would he know where Elmer was unless he was the one who took him up there?" Carrie said quietly. Okay, Elmer had freaked her with his little head stunt but for someone to take him up to the roof like that considering what happened to his brother up there.... That was beyond cruel. Suddenly determination washed over her. No, no way was Stegman going to get away with this. "Come on, Sonny. I need your help with something." She motioned from to follow her as she headed back for the door. "Don't worry, Louis. We'll handle Stegman."
"I wonder if she can stay conscious long enough to do anything to Stegman?" Hook said quietly, causing Chris to play hit him.
"Carrie doesn't faint that much." Chris hissed, before chuckling slightly. Okay, Carrie did spend a whole lot of time on the floor instead of her feet, she had to admit. The nurse had looked seriously ticked at Stegman though so maybe she would manage to stay conscious for a bit this time. Chris sure hoped so. It looked like Carrie had it seriously in for Stegman. Of course, who in the hospital didn't have it in for him?
Hook nodded after a moment. For now, they would leave Carrie and Sonny to handle Steg. They had to worry about getting these cops settled down and out of here before Elmer got back. Hook was hoping that Lona would be able to keep him far from the hospital for a bit but given how their relationship.... Relationship. He shook his head at that. Lona would freak if she knew he had been thinking of her, Elmer and a relationship in the same sentence. Well, he thought she would have anyway,
at least until what had happened last night. He didn't have time to think about the situation right now, though. Those cops didn't seem like they were leaving.
"Is there some sort of problem?" Hook said as he walked over to join Jesse, motioning for Chris to keep an eye on Louis. The older doctor was definitely not taking the insults to his son well at all.
"Well, it seems that the police have a small problem, something I'm sure you can work out of course." Jesse said with a chuckle. Oh, Hook better have an idea for how to fix this before the press got wind of it!
"It seems that since the received a report that Elmer murdered Dr.
Massingale, they have to take it seriously."
"What?" Hook stared at the police in almost shock. These were the same cops who hadn't taken the series of murders up on the psych floor seriously and now they were jumping to take some stupid thing Steg cooked up seriously? "Listen, I can assure you that Elmer did not do a single thing to Lona." Okay, he had done a series of things including giving her a head as a token of his affection but the cops didn't need to know that.
"You know how rumors get started and...."
"Your hospital seems to have more than it's fair share of rumors,
you know. Some people say this place is haunted." the lead officer said.
"Haunted? Just another of those silly rumors." Jesse said with a nervous chuckle. Oh, if he ever got this current mess straightened out, he was calling his aunt and demanding that Professor Jensen get over there and collect his sister right away. That child did not have permission to be here! "No, as Dr. Hook was saying, we're very sorry for this silly little rumor and any inconvience that it might have caused you but Elmer and Dr.
Massingale are both fine so...."
"And I'm very sorry but until I can see this Dr. Massingale for myself and make sure that a crime hasn't been committed, I'm going to have to take the report we received seriously so unless she happens to be here...."
"Lona's out for the day. With Elmer." Hook said with a grimace.
"But I'm sure you know where they were going so we can straighten out this little mixup." Jesse said as he looked over at Hook.
"Do you tell people where you're going on a date? I have no clue where they are." Okay, Lona might kill him later when she found out he had told people she was on a date with Elmer but surely that was better than the rumor that she had been murdered by Elmer.
"Well, until you can produce this Dr. Massingale, I'm afraid we're going to have to continue to take the report seriously." The officer said.
Hook and Chris practically had to drag Louis out of the morgue before he could explode at the cops. "Louis, calm down. We don't know where Elmer and Lona are, remember? We can't exactly call Elmer down to bail you out if you get arrested." Hook told the older doctor before looking over at Chris. "Chris, can you call Lona's cell and get her back here?" He hated to ruin things for Elmer but he didn't see any other choice.
"I could but it wouldn't do any good. She left it down in the lab.
I remember seeing it charging this morning." Chris told him.
"So it looks like we have to wait until Lona and Elmer decide to come back." Hook said.
"And in the meantime, the police are going to be investigating my son for murder!"
"Wherever you are, Elmer, I think you better keep going." Hook muttered under his breath. He just hoped the younger doctor was enjoying himself.
