Chapter 65: Murder of the 15th X
Present-day.
Marco sat on the passenger seat while Levi drove towards Guys Hospital.
"Levi," Marco said, trying to get his attention. The slicked blond hummed, urging him to continue.
"Sam’s body, who’s handling her? Is she in Guy’s?" Marco asked.
Were they taking care of her, like she did those bodies she handled? Was she being treated with respect, like she deserved? Marco mentally pondered.
"Was," Levi answered.
"Was?"
"She was cremated, Marco. It was written in her last will. Ashes are flying to America as we speak." Levi lied through his teeth.
"That fast, Levi? It has only been 3 days." Marco replied shocked at the news.
"Would you prefer she be subject to every forensic pathologist scrutinizing gaze, Marco? You know what happens on that examining table." Levi replied jaw tensed imagining it.
Marco frowned, "I’m sorry, I just thought...I thought I’d get to see her one last time." He apologized. He was just sad about not seeing her one last time. He wanted closure maybe, perhaps he needed something concrete to believe she was gone. And that it was time to move on.
"Anna’s people looked after her, she was handled...carefully. Every evidence was taken efficiently and carefully, every fact, every detail..." Levi said that was not a lie. They did take care of her.
