Tae stood at the doorway to the lab like a phantom, staring intently at the wall across from the entrance with a bowl of ice cream from the cafeteria he looked like a zombie with the bags under his eyes. Back to back surgeries and now clinic? It was a wonder how he’s still standing. Momentarily coming to his senses he cleared his throat, “who’s in charge of Patient 2403?.. I mean Adder...”
“Adder is on Benny’s payroll tonight.” Nadine answered before even looking up from her computer. She tilted her head to the side. Giving a huff, she focused at the door. Tae is easy to spot. Out of a sea of morgue slabs she just has to look for the rocky road or Neapolitan. She propped her chin up on her hand. Leaning into it she watched that bowl of ice cream too long.
“I’m starving. I should have bought something from Starbucks earlier.” What she’d give for a fresh tomato mozzarella panini. Avocado spread always an option. “The man I just added to the list had an ulcer the size of the grand canyon. Stomach ruptures are always blech when I cut in.” People might think talking autopsies and internal organs so casually is abnormal. Let them hang around forensics techs and get back to her, senior pathologist, for whose weirder.
