Chapter 71: The Tape

Pietro’s funeral was held the following weekend at the local church. Waverly walked up the staircase and past the abundance of individuals gathered outside, mourning and discussing the life that he had led. Followed by Sawyer, Waverly entered through the large wooden doors and was greeted by a large photo of Pietro at the head altar surrounded by flowers. A guest book sat on a table right by the entrance beside another image of Pietro with his parents and grandparents outside of their family restaurant.

Sawyer placed a hand on Waverly’s lower back and led her towards a seat at the pews. They sat together and Waverly’s eyes watched as members of the Crimson Shadows trailed in behind them, taking their own seats one after another. Once everyone was seated, the Pastor nodded at Sawyer to indicate the beginning of the service.
