Jeri stood next to the grave of William Lorris. He had been buried that morning in front of the Flight Crew Training Building, next to the graves of other astronauts. Lorene, wasting no time, had already called for a meeting later in the week. She had glared suspiciously at Leo and Jeri when they told their story; the prisoners had tried to escape and had been shot. One of them had killed Cilla. They were all buried. Lorene had finally accepted the story, believing, Jeri knew, that a mother would not, without taking vengeance, let her own child die.

Jeri's past had died, her future had died. She bowed her head, surprised that she could not cry. She heard a Jeep approaching. It stopped and she looked up. Ved Reese was walking toward her.

He came up and put his hands on her shoulders. "You can't stay here all day," he said. She nodded. He put an arm around her and began to guide her to the Jeep. "Leo told me everything."

She stopped and looked at him. "You did the right thing, Jeri. You have to believe that," he went on. "Leo thinks so." They continued to the Jeep. She climbed in, resting her head on the seat. Ved got in on the other side and started the motor. "Maybe you can write something about the colonel for our records," he said. "No one else has. He deserves it, and it might make you feel better."

"Maybe," she responded, not really believing it.

"I still have blood and urine samples from the visitors. I might as well finish running my tests."

"There's not much point to that now, Ved."

"I might learn something. Besides, I never liked loose ends." He turned the wheel, driving out of the parking lot onto the empty, broken street.
