The sun shone kindly on the group of black clad mourners as they
accompanied an expensive oak coffin through the cemetery to its final
resting-place. Max blinked back tears as she watched the coffin bearers
stop and lower it into the ground. Not wanting to watch she buried her face
on Alec's black suited shoulder. He put his arm around her in reassurance
even though he felt tears stinging at his own eyes. He had witnessed many
deaths in his life but none had ever touched him like this one.
"I don't think we ever realised just how much…" Alec whispered choking on his words.
"Nothing will ever be the same." Max whispered.
Alec didn't speak but pulled her closer as much for his comfort as for hers.
He glanced up at the squirrel filled tree above the grave, at Original Cindy who despite her best effort had tears tricking down her cheeks, and at Asha who was bawling her eyes out. Max was right nothing would ever be the same. The world had lost something very precious.
Max knelt down and put flowers on the fresh grave. Softy she ran her fingers across the newly erected tombstone. Fingers paused and she bent her head in remorse.
"This is all my fault." she gasped. "If we hadn't gone after him, if we hadn't…"
"It's not your fault Max. It would have happened eventually." Alec said putting a hand on her shoulder.
"I miss him so much." Max said. Alec nodded he knew exactly how she felt.
"Me too." He said. Max rose shakily and clasped Alec's hand tightly.
Sumo approached the grave alone with tears glistening in his eyes. He placed some red carnations on the grave and paused, reading the inscription.

THE INDESTRUTABLE BEEPER

He was an inspiration of greatness,
Provided insight into our lives,
And was the consciousness of the Squeak nation.
May his life's work live on long after his untimely death.
"I will avenge your death." Sumo swore vehemently. " I will find the person who did this and he will pay."
A/n Ok I know it's short but I'm very busy right now. I just wanted to get something up because I got so many great reviews asking me to continue. Since I'm preparing for final exams right now most of the chapters will probably be very short.
