West Grant's Pass Funeral Home
"-sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen... uhhh guys, where's Levi?", DJ asks after his head count was one short, everyone made it, even Carl, everyone except Levi. "Hmm.... odd. It's not like Levi to skip out on these things, not important stuff anyway.", Tatsuya defends. "Would he seriously rather sit at home instead of attending a funeral for one of our own?", Chuck asks rhetorically, "He better show. I'll be pissed if he doesn't.", stated Clay, furious. "That'll be enough," Thor started, angry himself, "we have to go in without him. If not, we all miss it. There's a very sweet girl's parents in there having to get closure because of the situation WE put their daughter in. All of these deaths are on us just as much as they're on the Criminal Institute. But they better not show their faces. Let's roll in." After Thor's impeccable speech, we all walk into the double doors of the same funeral home that Will was in together. Once inside, agony strikes. An older woman who I presume is her mother is crying, kneeled at her casket. It was bright blue with light purple drapes, poppies and lilies all around her. She was in a white dress. Pictures of her lie all around the room. It was beautiful, but so sad. I noticed a familiar face in the room, one I hadn't seen since I'd met Nicole, Shelby. Clay approaches her, teary-eyed. "Hi, Shelby.", he says as she stands. "Clay.", she said through sobs, hugging him. "I'm so sorry. You were best friends, she deserved better.", he said in an attempt to comfort her. "So much better," she agreed, "but nobody would ever give her the time of day. Only her family and a handful of friends. I'm thankful for you all.", she contradicted herself twice, and looked at me. "I'm very sorry for your loss, Shelby.", I condole. "She's in a better place. Thank you.", she said, wiping a tear. She then points to where Nicole is located. Clay and I turn around to see Beth standing over her.
