The Death Doctor

The Death Doctor: part three

Chapter 3: The Investigation Intensifies

Detective Louis Paul couldn't shake off the feeling that Dr. Stone was hiding something. He decided to pay a visit to the hospital, to ask some more questions.

As he arrived at the hospital, he spotted Dr. Stone talking to Nicole Watson, the young nurse who had defended him earlier.

"Dr. Stone, a word please," the detective called out, his tone firm but polite.

Dr. Stone excused himself and followed the detective to a quiet corner of the hospital.

"What can I do for you, detective?" Dr. Stone asked, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"I've been going over the medical records of the patient who died yesterday," the detective began. "And I noticed something peculiar. You administered a high dose of Ventaxin, a drug that's been linked to several deaths in the past."

Dr. Stone shrugged. "It was the appropriate treatment for the patient's condition. I followed the recommended dosage."

The detective raised an eyebrow. "Really? Because the autopsy report suggests that the patient died from an overdose of Ventaxin. Care to explain that?"

Dr. Stone's expression turned defensive. "I didn't make a mistake, detective. The patient's death was not my fault."

The detective pulled out a small notebook from his pocket. "I've been talking to your colleagues, Dr. Stone. And they've been telling me some interesting stories about your past... mistakes."

Dr. Stone's eyes flashed with anger. "That's all in the past, detective. I've served my time, and I've learned from my mistakes."

The detective smiled grimly. "I hope so, Dr. Stone. Because if I find out that you're still playing God, there will be consequences. Do I make myself clear?"

Dr. Stone's face was pale, but he nodded curtly. "Perfectly clear, detective."

As the detective left the hospital, he couldn't help but feel that Dr. Stone was hiding something. He made a mental note to keep a close eye on the doctor, to see if he could uncover any more evidence of his alleged wrongdoing.

Meanwhile, Elizabeth Harris was watching the exchange from a distance, a smug look on her face.

"I told you, Fred," she whispered to her colleague. "Dr. Stone is a menace. He's going to kill again, mark my words."

Fred Meyer looked uncomfortable. "Let's not jump to conclusions, Liz. We don't know the whole story yet."

Elizabeth rolled her eyes. "You're just blinded by your loyalty to Dr. Stone, Fred. But I'm telling you, he's a ticking time bomb. And I'm going to make sure that he doesn't hurt anyone else."
