Chapter 1: Levi Jackson
November 2011
Laboratory, Guy’s Hospital
Great Maze Pond, London, UK
Everyone who knew Levi Jackson well knew the blonde Irishman wasn’t a fan of chitchat. He never saw the point of it; thus, he never bothered. After all, it was a waste of precious time.
So, when Guy’s Hospital Laboratory door swung open, he frowned at the distraction—frowned upon the thought of someone attempting to make idle conversation with him, like his gay colleague Janet did.
Janet Rivera, the chubby Forensic pathologist Assistant with dyed blue hair who had a habit of talking about everything. Be it her cat Purrito, or the latest work gossip, to her neighbour taxidermist named Samuel.
Levi’s eyes gazed upon the person, a woman to be precise, and his brows rose in intrigue rather than annoyance.
She was wearing pyjamas, under a long black robe and a pair of bunny slippers. Her hair was a natural coppery hue; her brows were creased together in clear annoyance, and her shoulders tense from stress.
It didn’t take a genius to figure out she recently got out of bed, and at Midnight Levi could tell it wasn’t from sleeping.
No, Sleeping was the problem. ’Insomniac,’ he thought, based on the faint bags under her green eyes.
A stack of folders was in her hand and a specimen tray on top of it. ’Workaholic,’ Levi noted silently.
Janet tensed at the sight of the newcomer, Dr Gray," she squealed.
