Severed Key (1973)
“Simon and Keith watched from inside the Cadillac. It was impossible to move out of the parking lot until the ambulance departed. And more cars were arriving—adding to the traffic congestion. Word had got out to the newspapers, and small sport sedans with press cards attached to the windshields were nosing their way into the scene. The stretcher slid inside the vehicle and two white-jacketed attendants climbed inside and shut the door. The siren was turned on and the rotating red light of the am...bulance marked its progress through the driveway with a police car escort following closely. Keith switched on the ignition of the Cadillac.
“Shall we follow it down to Receiving?” he asked.
“I don’t think the police lieutenant would appreciate that,” Simon answered. “Besides, you owe me a dinner.”
Keith edged the Cadillac forward into the driveway and then, with a sudden burst of speed, swung in behind the ambulance escort. Brakes screeched and someone yelled an obscenity over the voices of the crowd.MoreLess
