[The response only comes much later in the day, close to lockdown, after Beckett has had a little time to process what happened the night before. Seeing Brian alive is definitely a welcome relief after that, and he is glad to have something to tell him.]
It's good that you've returned. I did find something.
@Rdua and I spent the night at the funeral home. She was in the morgue, I was in the office. We left the tablets on to talk to each other. This is what I managed to record. Be careful - don't play the last few seconds, or the sound will blow your tablet out.
[Here he attaches the video of what they got from midnight on: First the hum that rises in pitch, then the sudden popping out of the corpse slabs and the way their backs illuminate, then the rising light until the video is gone.]
The tablet failed after that, but I heard more movement. At some point she started to scream until her throat was gone. I heard what I think was her skull cracking, then silence. There was light and movement in the morgue until an hour or so before dawn. @CaptSteveRogers got me out in the morning. We couldn't find any trace of her or any evidence of anything that happened.
[A dry report. He has no interest in starting to examine any particular feelings he might have about the incident.]
