Chapter 11: Science
Janet walked through the corridors of Guy’s, her feet leading her towards the morgue. She pushed the double doors, and it swung back and forth creaking as she passed through. Janet tensed at the sight before her, and she almost screamed at the top of her lungs, as her heart pounded against her ribcage. Flabbergasted.
Sam looked at the familiar blue-haired morgue technician; she cracked a smile at her behind her face shield and mask. "Janet, good morning!" she greeted almost too spirited, at 2 in the morning while holding a human heart.
"What’s the craic, Janet?" Levi said behind his masked face, a steel basin in hand.
The two stood across each other, masked, gloved, and apron on, between them is a corpse, cut open. Levi took the heart from Sam and placed it inside the basin filled with ice.
Willing to calm her heartbeat,
"What are you-- doing?"Janet stuttered. "Levi’s helping with my autopsy," Sam replied casually. Janet’s eyes shifted from Sam standing next to an open corpse and Levi, the blond noticeably engrossed at the human organ ignored her existence. Sam sent Janet a confused look, wondering what she was doing there. While Janet, as well, wondered what the two were doing together.
She wondered, when did it start? Was it after the party? Have they been spending time since then? And over...dead bodies? Janet racked her head, completely forgetting why she came there in the first place.
"Is there something you need, Janet?" Sam asked, halting all questions running through the blue-haired woman’s synapses, including Levi’s fascination with the organ. Levi looked up from the heart and onto Janet.
"Ah...yes, I mean no. Sorry. I’ll go now." Janet stammered, earning a concerned look from Sam as she exited the morgue.
"Must be knackered," Levi commented, returning to his place across the redhead. Sam stuck her gloved hand inside the cadaver’s gut, "Most likely, we’ve been busy lately." she agreed, recalling there had been an influx of death that month.
