Today, the wind by the river was strong, and its "whooshing" sound seemed to whisper to each person present.
Aside from Roger, the entire Hawks team was there, including boss Ted Turner and management staff.
Everyone's expression was somber, and people standing close to one another were conversing in hushed tones.
Standing next to Roger was Stevie Smith; they were at the spot closest to the riverbank. The two had been standing there for fifteen minutes, yet they had not spoken a word to each other.
"Roger," Stevie Smith was about to speak when a black SUV arrived and parked by the riverbank.
This interrupted any conversation that might have taken place between them.
A couple got out of the car, carrying a flower basket, which contained characin roses.
Seeing this couple, the atmosphere at the scene grew even heavier.
