“Chadi” someone yelled, rushing to catch him.
Daniel smirked, “We’re not giving up until you hit rock bottom, fail?” He didn’t want to waste any more of Quiana’s time. Turning to Grant, he said. “Grant, take Ms. Levine to start the autopsy.
Grant steed there, his face a mix of shock and disbeliel, and he found himself stepping back without even realizing it. The room was quiet, the air thick with surprise, even after the two had left.
“Hey, Finn. Erin called out, catching the attention of a young man in the crowd. “Didn’t you say you’d down the entire morgue’s supply of formaldehyde TrQuiana Turned out to be a legit forensic pothologist?”
She grinned, playfully adding, “Let me know when you’re planning that drinking game. I’ll be there to capture the epic fail”
Finn’s face turned a shade of red and white, his neck stiffening as he retorted, “Even if she’s got the papers, that doesn’t mean she’s got the skills!”
Zack chuckled, shaking his head. “Some folks are just naturals, huh? Some are top forensic experts by 20, and others are still figuring it out at 30
The comment hit hard, leaving a wave of disbelief across the room. Everyone looked stunned, but no one dared to voice their anger, their frustration was stuck in their throats.
Daniel was examining a middle–aged man, his early forties, who had some old–looking scars.
He handed a report to Quiana. “Hey, check this out. We thought it was a suicide by stabbing, but it turns out the knife was stuck in after he died. The real story is, he had a heart attack.”

The victim had been dead for over thirty–two hours, yet there was no sign of that typical stiffness. That’s rare unless the place was super cold and he wasn’t moving much before he died.
Quiana put down her tools after a while. “This guy had hepatitis, and he was probably stressed out. That combo can mess with your blood flow and
cause a heart attack.”

“Cold?” Daniel asked, raising an eyebrow. “What does that mean?”
Quiana explained, “It’s a sneaky poison, mixed into water and frozen. When it melts, it turns into a gas you breathe in. We need to figure out if he used ice before he died and where it came from. That could be our ticket to finding the culprit
