A sharp, constant, nerve-wracking beep. The crematorium attendant immediately let go of the gurney and backed away, staring at Brandon as if he had just realized that something was terribly, horribly wrong.<br \/>\nMy mom clung to the doorframe to keep from collapsing.<br \/>\nAnd I\u2026 I felt my entire body turn to ice.<br \/>\nBecause a neonatal bracelet should not still be active inside a body bag.<br \/>\nBrandon reacted first. \u2014Turn that thing off!<br \/>\nHe tried to step toward the gurney, but the nurse immediately blocked his path. \u2014Do not touch that bag.<br \/>\nI will never forget the look on my brother-in-law\u2019s face at that exact moment. He completely stopped looking like a grieving widower. He looked like a cornered animal.<br \/>\nThe nurse held up the medical file she had hidden inside the blue baby blanket. \u2014The patient asked to leave this behind if anything happened to her.<br \/>\nMy legs were shaking violently as I struggled to breathe. \u2014Where is my nephew?<br \/>\nThe young woman swallowed hard. \u2014He\u2019s alive.<br \/>\nMy mom let out a sob so loud and agonizing that even the crematorium attendant crossed himself.<br \/>\nBrandon exploded immediately. \u2014You people are insane! That baby died!<br \/>\nBut the nurse was crying now, too. \u2014He didn\u2019t die. You ordered him transferred to another ward before he could be registered.<br \/>\nNausea hit me like a wave.<br \/>\nBecause everything began to fall into a horrific place inside my mind. The rush to cremate. The lack of paperwork. The sealed bag. The doctors who never showed their faces.<br \/>\nBrandon took another step toward her. \u2014You have no idea what you\u2019re talking about.<br \/>\n\u2014Yes, I do \u2014she replied, her voice trembling\u2014. Because I overheard you talking to Dr. Saunders.<br \/>\nA suffocating silence fell over the room. The crematorium attendant immediately looked at me.<br \/>\n\u2014Ma\u2019am\u2026 I think we need to call the police.<br \/>\nBrandon turned around, furious. \u2014Nobody is calling anyone.<br \/>\nAnd then, he did something that shattered any remaining shred of doubt.<br \/>\nHe tried to shove the gurney directly into the cremation oven.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Part 2 The alarm began to blare significantly louder from inside the black body bag.
