Despite the fact that Cassidy O’Donnell hadn’t been a practicing Catholic, the funeral service was held in a Catholic church. That was Dad’s doing, Alex knew.

During the service, Alex stood in the pew next to Kateri, not looking at the urn that held his uncle’s ashes, and praying with the priest that Uncle Cass would find some mercy as he faced his Maker. It was fortunate that Cass had asked to be cremated, as his death from biohazard contamination had made cremation mandatory anyhow.

It was a sunny day, ironically, and Alex hoped that the future would be kinder to Aunt Mona, who had turned out to be a nicer person than Alex had suspected. He even felt sorry for her when the husky dog Persia, the only other casualty of the ricin poisoning, had been put down at the animal shelter a few days ago. Though it would have been easier to sympathize if Persia hadn’t bitten him more than once over the years.

The Mass was over, and the priest, carrying the ashes, left the church, followed by a strangely sober Sam and David, who were altar servers. Behind them, Dad escorted a sobbing Aunt Mona. Mom followed in her wheelchair.

Behind them, Alex genuflected to the tabernacle, took Kateri’s hand, and started down the aisle.

Something caught his eye—a man in the back corner of the church holding up an iPhone towards the procession. When he saw Alex, he quickly thrust his phone back into his pocket, and left the church.
