NO CONDITION IS PERMANENT [Episode #363 ~ 09-02-23]
Pictured: Ray & His Court.
“That’ll never fly,” said Bickle, very nearly screaming. “How did my feet get bandaged?”
“Good Samaritan. The same one who dumped you at the emergency room.”
“Why did he bandage me and then dump me?” He couldn’t help screaming now.
“This is Miami. You can’t tell a story that hasn’t happened here and won’t happen again. And if you raise your voice one more time you can crawl to the hospital.”
Bickle started to cry, openly and loudly.
Hickum said, “We ought not just dump Bickle like this. I’ve known him over twenty years.”
“I’ve already shot him in both feet,” said Gaye Nell. “After that, kicking him out of a moving vehicle at the hospital is a kindness. ”
The neon EMERGENCY sign for the hospital blazed out of the darkness. There was a squad car, two cops, a handcuffed Cuban who might have been a Haitian, an ambulance, and three attendants all crowded around the swinging glass doors. Hickum slowed the old Dodge and Gaye Nell threw Bickle out onto the concrete. He landed on his bleeding feet and screamed. Nobody but the handcuffed Cuban looked their way as Hickum put the old Dodge in gear and roared away.
“God, I love Miami,” said Gaye Nell Odell.
