Linna's father picked up a picture of Linna at her High School graduation and looked at it.
"I remember this she graduated 2nd in her class she was so happy. I wan never so proud of her in my life." He said as he gave a half smile.
Leon could see that the man was on the verge of tears and wanted to leave.
"If you want I can send you her things for you." Leon said.
"Yea I'd like that this is to hard for me so soon after her death. Thank you."
He gave Leon his address and walked out the door still holding the graduation photo. Leon looked around the room and decided to wait for Priss to wake up to figure out what to send her parents. He didn't have to wait long however because soon after Linna's father left Nene and Macky came walking through the door.
"Press you in here." Nene shouted. Leon tried to stop her but it was to late Priss opened her eyes and looked at the three to them stand in the doorway. Leon with his hand on his forehead and Nene with her hand over her mouth.
"What are you guys doing here?" Priss asked.
"Syila sent me and Nene to find you and make sure your ok." Macky said.
"And I came here to drop off Linna's things from work and found you here." Leon said pointing to the box on the table.
"Linna's father was here to get some things but he left a little while ago."
"What did he take?" Priss asked looking around the room. "He took a graduation photo of Linna but that's it. It was too hard for him. I tolled him that I'd send some things to him but I wanted to wait for you so you could take some things to." Leon said sitting on the bed next to Priss.
"We'll help." Nene said looking at Macky.
"Ok. Thanks you guys." Priss said.
It didn't take long to pack the things they were gonna send to Linna's parents. Some pictures and some kick-knacks Jewelry and dresses. All except Linna's red and whit dress that Priss liked she took that and a few pictures. Nene took her computer and a photo of the team at a Dinner after one of their missions. Leon and Macky took with them only their memories of their friend. The rest they sent to the countryside to her parents. As they walked out the door Priss turned around to get one last look at the room except for the furniture it was empty. Priss closed the door and handed the key to the manager and walked away.
"I'll see you at Syila's." Priss said as she mounted her costume built Motorcycle and rode off before the others could say a word.
Leon dropped all the boxes off at the post office to be sent to Linna's parents. Nene and Macky drove down to Nene's place the computer and the photo and headed to Syila's. Priss's bike was parked in front of the door to the Silky Doll as the others arrived they all headed in together and went down to the pit. Priss was sitting on the couch in her usual spot and Syila and Nigle were sitting next to her all three looking sad as ever.
"Sit down we need to discuss things." Syila said as they entered the room. They all grabbed a chare and sat around them.
"We need to make the arrangements for Linna's Funeral." Syila said looking at the ground.
"This is gonna hurt us all but we have to do it." She said. Priss looked up
"When do we want to plan it for?" She asked.
"Let's plan it for one week from today." Syila said.
"Is that enough time to do it properly?" Nene asked.
"Yes it is." Replied Syila. "The funeral home is taking care of all the preparations. She'll be buried in the Tokyo cemetery." She said.
"Priss and Leon I need the two of you to take care of the guest lists. Nene and Macky you two take care of the flowers. Nigle and I will provide the casket and the Reverend." She said.
"Ok." They all said and stood up to leave.
"We'll get through this together." It was the last thing they herd Syila say before they left.
"I'll go to her work and invite her coworkers." Leon said
"Priss can you invite her parents?"
"Yea. I've got her phone book to so I'll call her friends to." She said as she felt the pain start to come.
"Ok thank you Priss." Leon said.
"I really don't want to do this it hurts so much." Priss said as she started to cry.
Leon reached out and wrapped his arms around Priss and gave her a hug as she cried. Priss Finally got on her bike and put on her helmet.
"Are you gonna be ok?" He asked. Priss just nodded her head yes and rode away.
Leon went down to Linna's office and walked in just in time to hear the manager make an announcement to all the sales staff.
"Everyone can I have your attention for a moment." He said.
"As some of you already know Miss Yamazaki was in an accident and killed yesterday." He said. Leon noticed the shocked look on most of the staff and he saw Nesay lower her head and start to sob.
"I don't know when the funeral is but when I find out I'll let you know." He said.
As he was walking back to his office he saw Leon standing in the hall.
"Officer McNickle what can I do for you?" He asked.
"I came to tell you of the funeral." Leon said.
"Ok come with me." The manager said and walked back to the sales office.
"Can I have your attention one more time." He said.
"This is officer Leon McNickle he has information on the funeral." He said and stepped away for Leon to speak.
"The funeral is set for one week from today at the Tokyo Cemetery at noon. Everyone is welcome." Leon said and started to walk away.
"Ok you all herd him we will close at 11am for the funereal." The manager said and walked back to his office. Leon walked over to Nesay and sat by her.
"You ok?" He asked.
"Yea I think so." She said. "
I'm gonna miss her."
"I know, we all will." Leon said and put his hand on her shoulder then walked away.
Priss was sitting in her room trying to find the words to tell her parents the time of the funeral. After a few minutes she picked up the phone and dialed Linna's parents.
"Yamazaki Residence." A young man answered.
"Who are you?" Priss asked.
"I'm a friend of the family." He said.
"There has been a death in the family."
"I know I'm calling with the time of the funeral." Priss said.
"One moment please." The young man said and walked away from the phone. A minute later Leene picked up the phone
"Hello Priss." She said.
"Hi Mrs. Yamazaki I'm calling with the time of the funeral." Priss said.
"When is it." Her mother asked.
"Tuesday at Noon. At the Tokyo cemetery." Priss Answered.
"Thank you Priss we'll be there. Goodbye." She said and hung up phone.
Priss looked at a picture of her and Linna at Linna's 24th birthday.
'I can't believe its only been 4 months seance this picture was taken.' She thought. And with that she fell asleep.
Nene and Mackey walked in to the Teragema Flower shop to order the flowers for the funeral.
"Good afternoon." The lady behind the counter said.
"What can I do for you?" She asked.
"We need to order some roses for a funeral." Nene said.
"Ok what kind of roses would you like?" She asked.
"I need 22 dozen red roses and 1 dozen white roses." Nene replied.
"And when would you like them by?" The lady asked.
"Tuesday by 10am." Nene said.
"Ok that's 22 dozen red and 1 dozen white roses by Tuesday at 10 am. Is that correct?" She asked.
"Yes it is." Nene answered.
"And where would you like them delivered to?" She asked.
"The Tokyo Cemetery." Nene said.
"Ok they will be there. The total is 13,000 yen. Thank you for coming." She said and Nene and Mackey walked out.
"This is not gonna be easy for Priss her and Linna were like sisters." Nene said as she got in to her car and started to head back to Syila's.
Syila and Nigle walked in to the local church to talk to Syila's friend Reverend Yamamoto.
"Father are you here." Syila called as they walked in.
"Yes yes I'm here Miss Syila." The Reverend said walking out from behind a statue.
"And what brings you here today Miss Syila? You so very rarely come unless you need something."
"I have a favor to ask you Father." Syila said with a small bow.
"Has something happened?" He asked
"Yes I'm afraid so." Syila sad with hurt in her eyes.
"One of the girls was killed yesterday. I was wondering if you will perform the funeral for her?"
"Who was it?" he asked.
"Linna." Syila said
"My what a shame. How are you holding up?" he asked.
"I'm ok but Priss is taking it hard." She said.
"And Nene?"
"I think she is ok." Syila said.
"Ok I'd be honored to do it. When is it?" he asked
"Tuesday noon." Nigel answered seeing Syila start to cry.
"I'll be there. You two take care ill see you then."
"Thank you father." Syila said and bowed then walked out.
