Chapter 299

• ~~Day 16~~
• One week later, the pathology results came back. About time, because David was one day away from dying again, Mia's ghost hands wrapped around his ghost throat. He didn't dare tell her they got lucky and the doc ordered a priority test, fearing a bio hazard issue. It could have taken almost a month.
• "All results negative." The doc sighed as she shook her head, standing beside David's body. Sixteen days of being dead made him look pretty damn gaunt and gross. David didn't mind, but Mia couldn't look. "First time I've been stumped in a long time. The school reports no health issues anywhere. They've checked their water. They've checked the food these poor kids were eating, if you can call it food. They've checked the air filters. They checked the plates for any traces of a toxic chemical. Nothing. Even their brains looked perfectly fine, no tumors, nothing. And with no family history, no family of any kind to look into, I have no choice but to consider this a death by unknown natural causes."
