Helpless to keep my hand from shaking, I pointed toward Kalina. “There was a purple snake or something in Tiffany’s IV tube. You poisoned her—I know you murdered her! You took that poison out of Briggs and gave it to Tiffany.” Kalina stared at me as if I had just spat on her mother. Khaldon touched my shoulder and turned me to look at him. His lips were hard. His forehead creased and eyes narrowed. “Blimey, Cheyenne, I understand you’re upset, but you can’t accuse her like that. There’s no telling what parasite Tiffany may have picked up in that place.” My mouth gaped open. “But I saw the purple stuff floating around in her IV bag. It was the same geometric pattern we saw Kalina pull out of Briggs.” The nurse pulled a fresh sheet out from the metal cabinet and draped it over Tiffany’s body. Dr. Rattanakosin instructed an orderly to move the corpse to the morgue. I raised my voice.
