Here's the new chapter…
"Owen! Dr. Magnus wants to ask you some questions about the weevils." Ianto called, as he and Helen returned to the main room.
"Busy, have an autopsy to do here." Owen replied grumpily from the autopsy area.
"I can help. At the same time I can ask you about the Weevils and the autopsy will be less work for you."
"You said you're a doctor, PHD or MD?"
"Both, may I help with the autopsy?"
"Sure, scrub up and get down here. We're doing the autopsy on a weevil."
"Scalpel" Owen said a few minutes later reaching towards Helen who handed him the tool.
"What can you tell me about the weevils, from a medical point of view?"
"They have a mild telepathic ability. They're able to sense the emotions of other weevils that are far away. They have a much lower body temperature than humans. They have an advanced digestive system so they can eat almost anything, but they seem to prefer meat. And they are developing a resistance against the one thing we can easily use against them."
As Owen talked Helen was watching him. There was something wrong with him but she couldn't figure out what.
"Is it not hard to operate with broken fingers?"
"I'm used to it. Forceps"
"How does one get used to broken fingers?" Helen said passing him the tool.
"One just does," Owen replied copying her tone. "if you hold this out of the way, please, I can show you what this weevil had for lunch, one large chunk of major muscle tissue, and, oh, a human hand."
As soon as they finished the autopsy Ianto brought lunch for the team.
"Helen, do you want Chinese? If you do we're up in the conference room" Ianto said as he walked into the room. Helen turned to Owen.
"Go, I'll follow after I finish cleaning." and with that Helen followed Ianto up the stairs to the conference room and started eating.
"Helen, do you want some coffee?" Ianto asked.
"It's the best coffee on the planet." Jack said smiling.
"No thank you, but if you have any tea I would love a cup."
"British to the core, aren't you?" Owen joked as he walked into the room and took a seat.
During the meal Helen was watching Owen. He wasn't eating. He was just sitting there and talking.
"Owen, are you not hungry?" Helen asked.
"Tell her"Jack ordered.
Owen sighed as he unbuttoned his shirt to show Helen the bullet hole and simply stated, "I'm dead"
