Hours earlier:

Pozza and Adams arrived to the scene of Lugo's hanging. Dead bodies all over. Pozza looked around. "Oh, shit do you see this? Looks like they hanged this guy and someone didn't take it too well."

"No shit."

Adams tended to Lugo's corpse. He rearranged him to look like how a funeral places a body in an open casket. He grabs Lugo's dog tag, and places it in his pocket before clasping his hands for a prayer.

"John, I hope you found peace in this fucked-up city. God, please accept John Lugo into your kingdom. He deserves it more than I can say. And please let me get this kid home. Amen."

Pozza approached Adams. "Who was he?"

Adams was about to say Lugo's name, before stopping himself. He sighs and replies: "A good man."

Pozza looks to the dead man before him, and salutes him. Adams stands up and salutes Lugo's body as well.

"There was this one guy, a sniper. Name was Joe. He was a good man too."

"To Sniper Joe", said Adams

"To Sniper Joe", said Adams.

After a moment of paying their respects, a wind started blowing.

"Come on, Pozza. I know where Delta's humvee is. A radio is inside. I can call for extraction."

The two headed off.
