Gladys Brown's



Dr. Greece...


He's in his break room. His head hurts after last night's hangover with his old friend. He thought about taking a short break in his room. He believes there are no patients today. So no one will bother him.


But the nurse came. Sister Sarah is her name. He came and called her saying the state of Lady Carmille was deteriorating. He's not really the doctor who's monitoring Lady Carmille's condition. It's just that on that unlucky day the doctor who handled Lady Carmille was on leave and she had to replace her.


With a head that is still a little dizzy. He staggered following the nurse. I think he was walking down a hallway. The voice of Sister Sarah who kept calling him made the head hurt even more.


She finally arrived at Lady Carmille's special room. With a head that is still a little dizzy. He checked his condition. He told her to take the medicine and when she had injected it into Lady Carmille's infusion tube she realized her stupidity. He misinjected the drug at a different dose than he should. But it was too late, when Lady Carmille's body twitched violently. He groans in pain. His eyes looked angry at him.


He suddenly felt afraid . He did not hear the words that came out of Sister Sarah. What say? He can't hear clearly.


Then suddenly he felt his body shaken with all his might. He saw people screaming at him. But he can't hear her.


Dr. Greece woke up in shock. The sunlight enters through the window. Apparently it's morning.


And there was someone who shook his body. It was Brown . De gan a deathly pale face and cold sweat Brown said


"Doctor wake. "


Dr. Greece got up from his bed and said in a sharp tone


"What's Brown?"


"My wife is a doctor. I can't wake him."


As fast as lightning Dr. Greece wearing his bedroom robes . He followed Brown down.


In the room lay the poor woman. Dr. Greece immediately checked her circumstances. His hands are cold. Lips pale. He looked up and went out. Brown. She asked


"What's wrong with my wife doctor."


Dr. Greece sighed and said


"Brown your wife is dead."


Brown bit his lower lip and said


" Is it because of his heart ?"


"Does he have a history of heart disease?"


Brown said


"He was just complaining about his back pain . "


Dr. Greene asked again


"Did any doctors take care of him? "


" No . We haven't seen a doctor in years."


" Why do you think this is because of his heart?. Has he been sleeping well all this time.? "


Brown's eyes swirled, he didn't know what to answer. He muttered


" Often his sleep is never good. He often wakes up in the middle of the night. "


Dr. Greece said in a sharp tone


" Did he take sleeping pills ? "


Brown looked at him in wonder


"Sleeping pills. Not doctors. I'm sure it is. I've never seen him take sleeping pills all this time . "


Dr. Greece approached the westafel. In the closet there are several small bottles, medicinal ointments, hair oil, facial moisturizer, odor and mouthwash.


Brown headed for the dresser drawer. He pulled the drawer drawer and took out the contents. They searched up the wardrobe but found no sleeping pills.


Brown said again


"Last night he didn't swallow anything except what the doctor gave him."


When the breakfast gong rang at eight in the morning everyone was in the dining room.


Captain Morris and Dave Hudson had just returned from the porch after walking alan while talking about political matters.


Rebbeca Cluster and Victoria Barrent go to the beach and meet Collin Fraster.


She said


"No sign of the boat is yet to come.."


Rebbeca smiled and said


"Maybe the ship's late."


Victoria looked out to sea and said


"What do you think about the weather today ? "


Looking up at the sky Fraster replied


"Not too bad."


Victoria said


"Hopefully there will be no storm."


Fraster responded


"It doesn't seem to ."


There was a gong that indicated breakfast was ready.


Victoria said


"It's time we had breakfast and put on some energy."


As they walked towards the villa . Fraster said to Victoria with a murmur


" You know I don't understand. Why did the young man commit suicide. I thought about it all night."


Rebbeca walked a little ahead. Victoria mu dur little. She said


"Have any theories other than suicide ? "


"I need proof. Especially the motive."


Captain Morris saw them and he was afraid


" Have the boat arrived ? "


Rebbeca answered


"Not yet"


They went into the restaurant. At the table is available a plate of ham, bacon and bacon. There are boiled eggs and pancakes. In the corner of the drink is available coffee tea and fruit juice.


Brown held the door so they could get in. Then close the door from the outside.


Mr. Andy Hart said


" Why is his face so pale?"


Dr. Greece who was drinking coffee cleared up once or twice. She said


Andy Hart said in a sharp tone


"Did something bad happen to that poor woman ? "


Dr. Greece said in a cold tone


"We better eat now. After I finish eating there is something I want to talk to all of you about. "


They then eat. Plate filled with ham, egg. Coffee tea is poured into each glass.


In whispering voices they talked about common issues, such as war, politics. Law or musical drama.


Then after the pyribg plate is lifted from the table. Dr. Greece led them all to the living room. He cleared his throat and said


"I decided to talk about this after you all had breakfast. I want to deliver sad news. Mrs Brown died this morning in her room. "


There was a cry of their surprise.


Rebbeca even collapsed from her chair and screeched


" It's so terrible. Two people have died."


With eyes full of probing and a loud voice Mr. Andy Hart said


"What was the cause of his death ? "


Dr. Greece shook his head. He answered


" A autopsy must be performed. Because I have absolutely no knowledge of the medical history of the poor wabita."


"Victoria said


"The poor woman was so frightened and shocked last night. Was it not a heart attack that caused his death? "


Dr. Greece said


" His heart doesn't work. But that's not the main cause."


Rebbeca said


"Pulner of guilt."


Dr. Greece turned to him and asked


"What do you mean Miss Cluster?"


With a shudder Rebbeca replied


"You all heard the accusations last night. The couple was accused of murdering their former employer."


"And what do you think ? "


Rebbeca said


"I think the accusation is true. You see how surprised he was when he heard the accusation. She was so surprised she fainted. He died of guilt."


Dr. Greece hesitated, he said


"That's a possibility. But we have to know the physicality too. And again he has no history of heart disease ."


Everyone seems surprised. Captain Morris said with an uneasy feeling.


"Maybe suicide ?. Did he eat anything last night ?"


Dr. Greece said


"Nothing."


"He didn't drink anything. Maybe tea or water. He must be drinking water."


"Brown said with certainty that he didn't eat or drink anything last night."


Dave said


"That's what he said. We just hear from him."


His tone of voice made Dr. Greece feel astonished.


Captain Morris


"So that's your opinion."


Dave said excitedly


"Why not ? We all heard the allegations last night. Maybe the accusation is true. We don't have any evidence it's a lie. Just from the word Brown. If it were true that Brown and his wife killed the old woman. Maybe they both felt safe until last night. The horrible voice that accuses them. You saw for yourself how the poor lady was shocked to the point of passing out. You also see how scared Brown is. He was afraid that the poor woman would say something. So I'm sure Brown must have eliminated his own wife. Of course I'm sure he must have been afraid of his wife confessing. The poor woman will definitely confess to facing tremendous pressure."


Dr. Greece said in a soft tone


" Next to his bed was no cup or anything."


Dave snorted in annoyance


"Ck could have Brown wash it before calling you a doctor."


Things turn quiet. Then Captain Morris' voice broke the silence.


"Maybe it's true. But I don't think I can trust him. A husband can do that."


Dave laughing.


She said


" If someone is in danger. They will not hesitate to do so. That's survival instinct."


Silent moment. The door opened and Brown appeared.


He said while looking at everyone.


"Is there anything you need ? "


Mr. Andy Hart said


"What time does the boat usually come Brown? "


"Biasany at seven o'clock he has appeared with his master's bread and milk. I don't know what caused it this morning. Usually if he doesn't show up there will be another boat coming. But until now no one has appeared sir."


Mr. Fraster asked


"What time is Brown?"


"Nine less sir ."


Mr. Fraster simply nodded his head.


Brown waited for a moment.


Captain Morris cleared his throat and said


"I'm so sorry about your wife Brown's death. Dr. Greece just told us. "


Brown nodded and said


"Thank you, sir ."


He left and closed the door again.
