The Record She Kept

She wasn't supposed to notice.Delia has worked the overnight shift at a pharmacy long enough to trust routine.Prescriptions come in. They get checked. They get filled.Most of the time, that's all there is.Until one name starts repeating.Cora Purcell.A dosage that keeps increasing. Different doctors. A second insurance that shouldn't be there. A spelling that doesn't quite match.Individually, everything makes sense.Together... it doesn't.Delia does what she's trained to do. She verifies. She documents. She watches.But the system isn't built to catch what she's seeing.And the more she looks, the clearer it becomes: Someone is controlling the record.Someone is controlling the medication.And the person taking it may not know.Now Delia has a choice.Stay inside the system. Or step outside it-without proof, without protection, and without knowing what happens next.Because sometimes the most dangerous thing in a system...is the part that works exactly as designed.
