The officers soon uncovered the extent of their operation. These criminals had been sneaking into the morgue under the guise of corpses, hiding in plain sight. When night fell, they crawled out of the bags, taking various morgue equipment and other medical supplies, selling them on the black market. Nathan’s mind reeled. He had thought he was witnessing the supernatural—but this was much worse than any ghost.
The operation had been ongoing for months, unnoticed by anyone except Nathan. The morgue, isolated and rarely checked, became a perfect hiding spot for the thieves. The hospital, overwhelmed and understaffed, never thought to question the missing supplies. It wasn’t until Nathan, with his fresh eyes, started to notice the anomalies.
