SO, WHO GAVE YOU THIS TIP-OFF EXACTLY?” Helia asked as her, Nick and Wednesday snuck around the side of the Jericho’s Coroner Offices. She brought her jacket tighter around her, feeling the sharp breeze hitting the back of her neck.

“Eugene,” Wednesday replied simply, the three of them turning up at the sliding door. A few minutes before, Thing had creeped out from Helia’s pocket, heading up into a vent Nick had managed to break through with some help of shifting.

“Are there actually dead bodies in there?” Nick grimaced. He hadn’t exactly signed up for some corpse sight-seeing, and wasn’t willing to anytime soon. “It all gives me the creeps.”

“It’s a Coroner’s Office,” Helia pointed out, telling him there quite obviously was dead bodies.

“We need to know what happened to the man from the meeting house,” Wednesday told them, the three exchanging looks as they continued to wait for the door to open. “That means we have to do our own autopsy. I hope neither of you are weakened at the sight of blood.”

“It’s more dead bodies than blood that I’m weakened by,” Nick commented, taking a deep, shuddering breath.

“We’ll be fine,” Helia assured the girl.
