I have a perverse desire to find out as much information as I can. I don't dare lose sight of my target, Ryan's father. As they put down the body to the ground it is the first time I saw him break down. I can only understand the insufferable pain he was feeling. The loss of the love of his life, knowing he would never wake up next to her. No one deserved that especially him, he was too kind.
He finally walks towards the parking spot after he bids the priest goodbye. He looks worn out by life.
I come from my hiding spot into his sight. His expression is indifferent to my presence.
He sighs, "Cara..."
I am surprised he remembers my name.
"I am sorry for your loss. I hope you find equanimity." I console.
He finally decides to take few steps towards me. My presence had stopped him abruptly.
"I presume you are here for answers. " he is direct.
I nod.
"Before my wife's murder, she told me who you are." He speaks.
