Night Beat - The Doctor's Daughter

Randy Stone paid a visit to the Reporter's Room at the local hospital, however, all of the other reporters were out chasing a local fire. He is just about to leave, when he spots some familiar faces through the open doors of the examination room. A couple of young doctors named Ed and Herb are looking at a patient lying on the examination table. Herb says "Come on in, Randy. What are you doing around here?" Randy says "Just listening to people's troubles". Herb says "This guy on the table, he's got troubles". Randy asks "Is he your patient?" Herb says "Yeah, he's our patient, temporarily". Randy asks "What happened?" Herb says "He got a gunshot wound, right through the head". Randy says "Wow! Was it a suicide?" Herb says "If it was, he must have swallowed the gun". The patient starts making noises and trying to talk. Herb says "Hey Randy, we better talk over here". Randy asks "Is he going to die?" Ed says "Maybe, I don't know. We've done what we can. Maybe Reynolds can save him". Randy says "Reynolds? Is he a doctor? Herb says "Brain surgeon, the best. We've got a call in for him". Randy says "That guy gives me the creeps. Who shot him?" Ed says "Who knows. Do you want the story? I'll tell you what I know. His name is Jerry Carne. He had a nice apartment, now there's blood on the rug. He's been shot in the head, and the bullet is still in there".
