The
second
thing
was
that
the
ambulance
was
gone
from
its
slot
in
the
small
infirmary
parking
lot
,
and
that
gave
him
a
nasty
start
.
The
infirmary
was
equipped
to
treat
almost
any
illness
or
accident
on
a
short-term
basis
;
there
were
three
well-equipped
examination-and-treatment
rooms
opening
off
the
big
foyer
,
and
beyond
this
were
two
wards
with
fifteen
beds
each
.
But
there
was
no
operating
theater
,
nor
anything
even
resembling
one
.
In
case
of
serious
accidents
,
there
was
the
ambulance
,
which
would
rush
an
injured
or
seriously
ill
person
to
the
Eastern
Maine
Medical
Center
.
Steve
Masterton
,
the
physician
's
assistant
who
had
given
Louis
his
first
tour
of
the
facility
,
had
shown
Louis
the
log
from
the
previous
two
academic
years
with
justifiable
pride
;
there
had
only
been
thirty-eight
ambulance
runs
in
that
time
...
not
bad
when
you
considered
that
the
student
population
here
was
over
ten
thousand
and
the
total
university
population
was
almost
seventeen
thousand
.
And
here
he
was
,
on
his
first
real
day
of
work
,
with
the
ambulance
gone
.
He
parked
in
the
slot
headed
with
a
freshly
painted
sign
reading
RESERVED
FOR
DR.
CREED
and
hurried
in
.
He
found
Charlton
,
a
graying
but
lithe
woman
of
about
fifty
,
in
the
first
examining
room
,
taking
the
temperature
of
a
girl
who
was
wearing
jeans
and
a
halter
top
.
The
girl
had
gotten
a
bad
sunburn
not
too
long
ago
,
Louis
observed
;
the
peeling
was
well
advanced
.
"
Good
morning
,
Joan
,
"
he
said
.
"
Where
's
the
ambulance
?
"
"
Oh
,
we
had
a
real
tragedy
,
all
right
,
"
Charlton
said
,
taking
the
thermometer
out
of
the
student
's
mouth
and
reading
it
.
"
Steve
Masterton
came
in
this
morning
at
seven
and
saw
a
great
big
puddle
under
the
engine
and
the
front
wheels
.
Radiator
let
go
.
They
hauled
it
away
.
"
"
Great
,
"
Louis
said
,
but
he
felt
relieved
nonetheless
.
At
least
it
was
n't
out
on
a
run
,
which
was
what
he
had
first
feared
.
"
When
do
we
get
it
back
?
"
Joan
Charlton
laughed
.
"
Knowing
the
University
Motor
Pool
,
"
she
said
,
"
it
'll
come
back
around
December
fifteenth
wrapped
in
Christmas
ribbon
.
"
She
glanced
at
the
student
.
"
You
've
got
half
a
degree
of
fever
,
"
she
said
.
"
Take
two
aspirins
and
stay
out
of
bars
and
dark
alleys
.
"
The
girl
got
down
.
She
gave
Louis
a
quick
appraising
glance
and
then
went
out
.
