Joe hung up, deeply upset by the call. All her anger had gone and she had just sounded wounded. He went back to the nursing- station desk and waited for the anaesthetist. The clock on the wall said 9.55. Almost ten minutes since Juliet had died and every one of those minutes counted, every second, because when the heart stopped pumping, the blood immediately began coagulating and clotting; if starved of oxygen from its blood supply, the brain\u2019s electrical circuitry would cease, and the synaptic connections with their chemical encoding would slowly start breaking down.<\/p>\n

It was vital to keep Juliet\u2019s circulation going so that the chemicals that would preserve her tissues from being damaged by ice crystals could be properly introduced and distributed throughout her body. The Cryonite volunteer operator who answered Roland Dance\u2019s call should be able to confirm Juliet\u2019s aneurism to him and her instructions, as well as immediately contact the girl\u2019s own doctor and have him call the anaesthetist.<\/p>\n

In theory there should not be a problem \u2013 but, it only took one obstructive person to blow the whole thing. And Dance was crassly obstructive. When he came back, almost ten minutes later, his face was stiff; he held his chin high and peered hostilely at Joe down the end of his nose. \u2018You want an operating theatre, is that right?\u2019 Dance said.<\/p>\n

\u2018You want an HLR? What else of my bloody equipment and staff do you need for this hare-brained nonsense? She\u2019s dead \u2013 can\u2019t you at least leave her in peace? The dead have a right to some dignity, you know.\u2019 \u2018Did you ever see a corpse look dignified during an autopsy?\u2019 Joe retorted. Dance glared at him and Joe regretted the remark, knowing he needed as much co-operation as possible. \u2018Operating Theatre Number Five,\u2019 the anaesthetist said. \u2018We\u2019d be obliged if you\u2019d leave it tidy when you\u2019ve finished.\u2019<\/p>\n

Joe was surprised that he had given in so easily \u2013 and that he was actually going to let them use a theatre, which he did not have to do. \u2018Thank you, that\u2019s very kind.\u2019 \u2018Nothing to do with me,\u2019 Dance said. \u2018I\u2019ve been overruled. It appears the request, and consent from our Director, is already on the hospital\u2019s computer, and we\u2019re charging your \u2013 ah \u2013 Cryonite company for the facility. So we do at least get some benefit from this charade,\u2019 he added tartly.<\/p>\n

Joe looked away from him, suppressing a grin. Had Juliet done that in preparation? Hacked into the hospital computer sometime before she\u2019d collapsed, maybe even weeks ago, in preparation? The thought cheered him considerably. Half an hour later Joe stood gowned up in a blue scrub suit in Operating Theatre Five.<\/p>\n
