Chapter 37: Double Homicide!

The next day, Arslan, Isabella, Mia, and Sofia, all dressed in black, stood with a small crowd at a gravesite. They'd just come from the church service and were now laying Ricky to rest.

The pastor stood at the head of the grave, speaking words about Ricky. Everyone listened quietly and respectfully as Ricky's mother wept.

After the pastor finished and Ricky's mother said her final goodbyes, Arslan and the other friends and family members began lowering the casket into the ground. They tried to support Ricky's mother, who was barely standing and crying uncontrollably.

While all this was happening, two men were camping just out of sight, able to watch everything unfold. They were armed with automatic rifles and seemed ready for action. After checking their weapons, they began to slowly and stealthily move towards the burial site, intent on taking out Arslan and his crew.
