The Goodbye Look (2010)
“There had been a recent auto accident, and everybody on the emergency ward was busy. Looking for a stretcher, I opened a door and saw a dead man and closed the door again.
I found a wheeled stretcher in another room, took it outside and heaved Nick onto it. I pushed him up to the emergency desk.
“This boy needs a stomach pump. He’s full of barbiturates.”
“Another one?” the nurse said.
She produced a paper form to be filled out. Then she glanced at Nick’s face and I think she was touched by his ...inert good looks. She dispensed with red tape for the present. She helped me to wheel Nick into a treatment room and called in a young doctor with an Armenian name.
The doctor checked Nick’s pulse and respiration, and looked at the pupils of his eyes, which were contracted. He turned to me.
“What did he take, do you know?”
I showed him the drug containers I had picked up in the Trasks’ garage. They had Lawrence Chalmers’s name on them, and the names and amounts of the three drugs they had contained: chloral hydrate, Nembutal and Nembu-Serpin.MoreLess
