Debbie had taken one step up the stairs to her bedroom when she felt the phone vibrate in her hand. At first she was caught off guard when she saw it was from a random number. Not one of her contacts. She was going to dismiss it as spam outright but on a whim opened the message. After reading she rushed to grab her car keys.
"Debbie right?. This is Madeline's husband, Ron. You know, Madeline, the patient who visited your hospital today with a simple case of constipation. I don't know what kind of bizarre treatment you performed on her but she is in even more pain than before. She wouldn't eat dinner and now fall can't sleep. If you don't help my wife NOW I'm gonna report you and your colleagues to the authorities and sue your asses for negligence."
Debbie speed through the suburban streets. Hunched over the steering wheel she tried to pick out the house number she was looking for in the darkness before finally pulling over and coming to a stop. The anxious nurse ran out of the front seat. As she paced up the walkway towards the front door she noticed that several lights inside the house were on. With a deep breath Debbie wrapped her knuckle against the wooden door.
"Where's Madeline?"
A distressed Debbie asked the middle aged man dressed in pajamas in front of her. Madeline's husband answered her curt demand with one of his own.
"Excuse me? This my home. Before I let you anywhere near my wife I have some questions of my own that need to be answered."
Debbie didn't have time for this. But, she needed to figure out what Madeline had told Ron about today. Begrudgingly Debbie would have to play along. Tell him just enough to get him to trust her.
"Fine. What do you want to know?"
"For starters who is Irina?"
"She is the nurse who assisted me in your wife's treatment." Debbie said direct and to the point.
"And what was this so called treatment exactly? Why isn't my wife's condition improving?"
With that first question Debbie knew that Ron was fishing and that Madeline must've have hid the fact that Irina and several interns were currently camping in her colon. This was good news for Debbie. But as for the second question Debbie had no answer. In fact, it was one she wondered herself.
"After determining the cause of Madeline's condition I authorized an experimental procedure to ease her constipation. As for why she is still in pain that's why I'm here in the middle of the night after an eighteen hour hospital shift because of my concern for my patient, your wife Ron! Now do you want to keep wasting time playing this game or are you going to take me to Madeline!"
Debbie could see the shock on the man's face. She had taken Ron's best shots and delivered a fatal counter attack. Had she done enough to convince him to take her to Madeline?
