Chapter 10: Looking Ahead
The crisp wind was blowing faintly. Fall was coming fast, soon he'd be seeing snow everywhere. Siro straightened back up, after placing the flowers he bought on his parent's grave. He still regrets so little time with them, but he's grateful for what he did have. He looked at Katie standing next to him, and smiled, placing an arm around her waist.
"Can you believe, a month has already passed?" Katie said, as they walked back to the edge of the cemetery. Siro let out a long sigh.
"I know. It still feels like yesterday sometimes. I do miss them." He said, feeling a frog in his throat.
"I know. I can't even imagine. Just be glad with what you did get." She smled at him, and gave him a slight peck on the check. He squeezed her waist..
"Anyway, how do you like the SG?" Siro smiled to himself, wanting to change the subject. After all, he finally convinced her to join hi Super Group last week. She sighed to herself.
"You're never going to shut up about it, eh? I like it, okay? Shut it!" She laughed and shoved him to the side. Siro laughed and smiled at her.
"Oh, how did the thing with the lawyer go?" Siro grunted to himself. He really didn't want to talk about it.
"It's all settled. Since I am the only known kin, I inherited my father's company. I still don't think I should even take down the boards over the windows…Too many bad memories." He sighed to himself. The company had been abandoned ever since. Katie shoved him.
"You know how many jobs that could provide? You'd be doing Paragon a favor by opening it back up…Plus, it's not like you don't have the money now to fix it up…" She was right there. Along with the company, came all of his parent's earnings; All several millions of dollars of it. He had planned to give it all away to some charity, but Katie did bring out a good point.
"I don't know. I'll think about it, I guess." They made it to the street when a few cop cars came rushing by, flying down the road with their sirens on. Siro and Katie looked at each other and shrugged.
"All in a day's work, shall we?" Siro smiled at Katie, who was already in the air, flying ahead of him.
"I'll race ya there!!"
