Dead Gorgeous

SETH

I make the dead look like themselves again. It's a gift. I'm also the fun one. The one you call at two in the morning, and never once in daylight.

So when the biggest, quietest man in the Sartori family knocks on my door at three a.m. with a bullet in him and nowhere he's allowed to go, I do what I always do.

I fix it.

On my embalming table. With a suture kit meant for people who can't feel a thing.

He feels everything. He just won't let anyone see.

Then I take him home, because where else do you hide a man nobody can know got shot.

LAZ

I don't talk. I don't want things. I watch, and I keep alive the people who saved my life, and I never let anyone close enough to see what I am.

He saw it on a steel table under a surgical lamp.

Now I'm sleeping in his bed with a hole in my side and orders to keep him safe, and the men who shot me know exactly who I used to be.

They want something from his family. They'll go through him to get it.

They'll have to go through me first.

And every night he leaves the light on for me, it gets harder to remember why I can't have him.
