Chapter Eighteen

“Whatever happened at Leadenford Hospital,” Freeman said as he sat at the kitchen table, studying the papers, “was centered on the cancer ward run by Doctor Page. If the medical waste that was dumped at Camp Everbee is connected to that ward, we have our smoking gun.”

He flipped through to another page.

“Something escaped,” he continued. “Something that caused all that damage on the ward, enough damage that the military preferred to blow the place sky high instead of risking further contamination. I mean, can you imagine how bad things must have been? They literally decided to destroy the place instead of trying to clean it out. What the hell was in there?” He studied the page for a moment. “But it did get out,” he continued, “because unknown to everyone else, the hospital's waste was being dumped off the books. There was no paperwork to follow, so they probably figured they'd contained everything, but they hadn't. Whatever was there, it ended up here.”

Turning to the final page, he saw a photo of Doctor Andrew Page.

“He understood what this thing is,” Freeman whispered. “He worked it out, but he was too late to stop it. The official version is that he was killed in the terrorist attack on the hospital, but it's starting to look like he was blown up by the military along with the rest of the place.”

After staring at the photo for a moment longer, he turned to see that Karen was still sitting in the chair over by the door, having seemingly preferred to sit in the shadows since her return from the bathroom. She was strangely quiet and still, as if she had no interest in the work her brother was trying to get done, and although he waited for some kind of response, Freeman began to realize that she seemed completely vacant.

“You okay?” he asked finally.

She nodded.

“You sure? As soon as the rain stops, I'm gonna drive you to the hospital so we can -”

“I'm fine,” she told him, her voice sounding very calm. “You don't have to worry about me.”

“But -”

“No hospital,” she said firmly.

“This isn't a conspiracy theory,” he continued, still feeling uneasy. “This is fact. Those assholes were trying to cover something up at Leadenford Hospital, but they failed. Now it's right here on Everbee mountain, it's probably even in the camp.”

A faint smile crossed Karen's face. “You make that sound like it's a bad thing,” she said eventually.

“Let me show you something else,” he replied, getting to his feet and heading to the door. “You're gonna get a kick out of this, Sis, it's a hundred times better than some goddamn squirrel.” Hurrying out of the room, he could be heard a moment later making his way out of the apartment and into the parking lot.

Alone, Karen sat completely still, staring into space. Deep down, in the back of her mind, she knew that something was wrong, but at the same time she was struggling to keep her thoughts together for more than a couple of seconds at a time.
