CHAPTER NINETEEN

“Why do we have to see the body?” I asked. My skin crawled at the thought while my Vans made light squeaks across the linoleum floor.

In my short new life as a vampire I had already seen one damned vampire die. Well, almost two if you count Kendrick and Dorian’s attacker being decapitated. In the way that ours had been killed, his body had instantly incinerated. Except this time we weren’t going to see a damned vampire’s body. We were here to see a human who’d been killed. Drained to death. I wondered what that kind of death would change in a decomposing body, and shuddered. I’d not so long ago come close to that end myself.

It was after 8PM, the day following my run-in with Mr. Malau. Now in Anchorage, we headed for the morgue on the lower level of the hospital.

Wearing a suit and tie, Ty ran a hand across my back as we headed down the off-white corridors. “Apart from the crime scene itself, a body can tell you so much about the killer. It could lead us to him or even his hideout.”

I went to ask about the formal attire when something distracted me. The capital letters MORGUE headed the end of the hallway. There was no turning back now.

“Will they let us see the body?” I asked. We weren’t related or anything. We didn’t even know her name.

“I’ve got it covered.” Ty sounded both cocky and confident. As if this was something he did on a regular basis. And here I’d thought he just put down murdering vampires. Apparently there was much more to being alpha of a werewolf pack than I’d ever thought.

Ty held open one side of the double doors for me to enter, and then followed behind. Inside was a glass-enclosed office manned by a male nurse. Corridors flanked either side of the office with swinging doors. One was unmarked. The other stated NO ENTRY.

The male nurse glanced up from his desk as we stopped in front of the glass barrier. “Can I help you?”

Ty withdrew a wallet from his pocket and flipped it open, displaying a badge. “Officer Scant. I’m here to pick up the murder victim’s personal affects.”

Somehow I managed not to blanch. So that’s why he’d dressed in a black suit with a collared shirt and tie.

“Who’s the girl?” the mid-twenties guy asked, more curious than suspicious.

Ty, or should I say, Officer Scant, glanced to me. “Right. Her.” He gave me a careless tap on the arm. “Almost forgot you were there.” His gaze returned to the male nurse. “Please meet our latest intern. What was your name? Oh that’s it, Jenny, right?”

The nurse scanned us over and shrugged. “You types get younger by the year.”

Ty smiled. “Yeah, and us newbies always get the mundane jobs. Where’s the action I signed up for?”

With a distracted noise the nurse went back to his computer screen. “Head on in, down the left. Second door on the right.”

We began to move away, but as we reached the doors below the NO ENTRY sign the nurse called out.
