“Sick fuck,” he says. “Let’s go.”

I climb out of the back seat of the car.

“Hey, Villi, you know I wasn’t…”

“I don’t care what you were doing, Knox,” he says. “Stop talking.”

Villi walks away from me to go be with Vera.

Of course this is the next logical part of this thing. Watching everyone find their person of interest…

Villi slides a hand around Vera’s waist and pulls her close.

Vera places her head against Villi’s shoulder.

She’s crying.

We’re all feeling it.

Standing there in a cemetery with a large, black casket in front of us.

White flowers on top of the casket.

Knowing that Mac’s father is inside that casket…

I look away.

I see Gabriel with Ruby.

Ruby looks nervous. Vulnerable.

A rarity for her.

She is obviously freaking out about being at a funeral.

Gabriel basically holds her.

There’s Mac and Violet too.

They’re basically center stage.

Mac is dressed in a nice suit, standing there, hands folded in front of him.

Violet standing right next to him. She’s wearing sunglasses. She looks uneasy.

Oh, and then we have this situation with Jax and Mila.

I don’t even know what is really going on… but holy hell…

Jax is one side of the funeral. Mila is on the other side.

I’m just going to leave it at that.

There are others there at the funeral too. There’s actually a large group of people hanging around. Don’t forget, Mac’s father owned a business. He had employees. Vendors. Suppliers. All that stuff. Everyone is here to pay their respects.

So I stand there alone.

Everyone is quiet.
