The dental records confirmed it at eight-forty AM.
Nair had called her at seven with the post-mortem update and then again at eight-forty with the dental comparison, and the second call had the quality of a person delivering information they had fully expected and were still surprised by: the woman in the morgue was not Rohini Sharma. The dental records did not match. The fingerprint analysis of the apartment confirmed that there were two print sets — the set now identified as Rohini Sharma's own prints (matched against Rohini's medical records from her GP, which had her fingerprints on file for a work-related background check) and an unidentified second set. The unidentified second set was being run against national databases.
At nine AM, Nair came to the apartment and sat across from her at the dining table and they looked at each other with the specific look of two people who have established something extraordinary and are now trying to determine what to do with it.
"You are Rohini Sharma," Nair said. Not a question — a statement, being spoken out loud to make it real. "The woman we found in your apartment last night is not you. And you don't remember what happened."
