The entire atmosphere was gloomy and nobody spoke a word as the priest sang the psalms over the lined up caskets. It had been a week since the last incident and everyone had heard all about the prison incident. Today was the day picked out for honoring them. Eighteen heroes who had laid down their lives defending criminals that might cause terror to the world.
The Advocates had their own cemetery, one dedicated to only the Advocates. All their deceased members were laid to rest here, and that had been the tradition for as long as they could remember.
The Grade one's sat aside, while the mass of mourners sat opposite them. The wake was almost over now. They had paid their final respect, and all that was left was the blessing and lowering of coffins.
