Business Makes Strange Bedfellows (2014) - Plot & Excerpts
No one was there this early, which was how she liked it. She hung up her hat, overcoat, and walking stick at the coat rack. Pulling off her jacket, she threw it across her desk before undoing her cufflinks and turning up the sleeves of her shirt to the elbows. The Society's laboratory had been built as a warehouse, close to the waterfront. Now it was just one long, big room. The floor was tiled, there was a row of desks closest to the door, and then examination tables beyond. She scrubbed her arms and hands in the sink to the right of the main area and then pulled on a white smock. The fresh bodies were already out on metal examination tables in the center of the room, which told her that they were delivered earlier that morning. The two new bodies were not in particularly good shape, but that was hardly new. The choice cadavers went to Columbia University. The Society, meanwhile, had to make do with the unclaimed bodies of petty criminals. This morning, one of the bodies in particular looked in bad shape, bloated and a little purple.
