Playing a tug of war
"Take as much time as you need." The doctor in charge of his autopsy waited for him to finish his visit before he had to perform his job.
He did not like going to this part of the hospital due to its gloominess. Today, he had no choice. The only family he had was now dead.
"Thanks." He responded without looking at the other man inside the room. His focus centered on the table where his brother lay.
He was operating when his brother arrived at the hospital. Nobody bothered to inform him because no one knew his connection to the victim.
Once the police found him after his operation, that was the only time he knew about his death. Now, looking at his brother lying in a morgue was not what he imagined would be the next time he would see him.
"How did he die?" He wanted to know the cause of his death, determining if he suffered first or was dead on the spot. The police did say he was stabbed multiple times in the midsection.
