SpecimenThe black tarp was rolled out in a shallow valley, grave dirt piled high and rising as the shovels scrapped more of the earth up and out of an ever deepening hole. The marker of granite rose slim and proud in the early morning light as voices from the hole called out for a crowbar. He arched a brow at the grunts of effort to pry open a simple wooden box.
Polished wingtips neared the edge and he watch dispassionately as the coffin was opened and the five-week-old corpse was revealed.

He smiled, “Dr. Isaacs.”
“Major Cain.”

“No trace of embalming?”
“It’s pure.”
“Bring her to me.”
