Double Indemnity

Jerry exited the exam room along with a patrol officer who remain throughout the examination, the attending physician was close by. "What is your determination doctor on the injuries to the patient?" The two officers flanked Jerry, the examiner faced the three men. "He has suffered blunt force trauma, along with a deep contusion to the rib area. I prescribe some medication to the patient for his injuries. I would like to see him again in two weeks. Schedule an appointment at the counter."The two officers exchanged glances to Jerry and the doctor, one officer then walked away and keyed his radio, he spoke softly, then waited for the response from the dispatcher. Then walked back to the group. "Thank you, doctor, we will need to talk to the patient okay?" The officer who talked to dispatch said.The physicians went away headed for the exam room, closed the door after his entry."We need to make an appointment for you here, or do you want to go to your own doctor or follow-up?" He started to add what he said; hesitated, then waited for Jerry's answer. They all looked at each other for a while as if there was some confusion as to what would happen next."I think I will make an appointment with my family doctor, and have him look at the prescription. I think that is the best for me." Jerry stood waiting for a reply, or maybe they were instructed to allow him that freedom."We are going to take you to your house, do not leave town. Also, the crime unit has been there investigating the scene, you are to meet with detectives next Monday at 10:00 AM do not miss this interview, do you understand these instructions?" The large police officer with an even keel said. They all walked out the emergency exit, the door was opened for Jerry, he had not been handcuffed.No one spoke during the ride to Park Avenue, not even a look by the officers. When the cruiser parked in the front of the house, an officer handed Jerry the key. "Remember to meet with the detectives, or you will be picked up for refusing to cooperate." The officer who had driven him back to the residence said, his tone changed toward a friendlier manner. Jerry tried to open the door, but no such luck, then the other officer got out of the cruiser, and opened the door, then stood aside to allow him to exit.Jerry walked up the path to the front door, put the key in, then disappeared from view. He went into the kitchen, looked at the clock on the wall it was 8:42 AM. He would still have time to get a shower, and make his appointment scheduled for 10 AM. He turned on the burner, filled the kettle with enough water to make a cup of much-needed coffee. Then also make sure to turn off the burner.The equipment needed to complete the assignment was locked in the trunk of his vehicle. He went up the stairs to get his clothes, and a hot shower. Things still felt strange to him, many unanswered questions confused him from the usual way he prepared for an assignment. But he went through the usual motions as normal, trying to shake what had happened about three hours earlier.He showered and toweled off, then went back to the kitchen, prepared his cup of java, then returned to his bedroom. The house seemed tainted due to the events that transpired earlier, his room was in disarray from the search made by the crime unit. He picked out an outfit put it on, drink a little coffee, gathered his senses and went down to the living room which was also messy, drawers still half open, and personal items scattered around the living space, he felt violated as he looked around at the mess. Jerry took another sip of the brew, then put his cup in the kitchen.It was time to depart the strange mess that was all around his home. Opened the front door, then locked it, walked down the pathway, clicked his remote and entered the vehicle, pulled the trunk release, started the car, got out and walked to the rear.He checked to make sure everything was as left.
