Ryan squirmed in his business class seat. Sure he was supposed to be as comfortable as ever but not only was he going to arrange the funeral of his brother but he had that feeling in the pit of his stomach. The one when you know something big and exciting is going to happen and that makes you nervous. His stomach churned again...Maybe the heights had something to do with it. We wished Seth could have come with him but he had a lot of work and needed to be with Summer because she was expecting and made Cohen swear to never leave her side. The horomones. The both of them, however, and Sandy and Kirsten would be meeting Ryan there in a few days. The plane lurched down and the drowning voice came on to the speaker. They were landing.

-------------------------

Marissa sat in the graveyard, as she did everyday, thinking about Jack, Ryan and life in general, when a plane in the distance sailed through the sky. She imagined Ryan on the plane looking down on her. But she couldn't. "You can't imagine the impossible," she whispered.

--------------------------

As soon as Ryan landed he looked for his name in the midst of all the signs bearing identification and finally found his. He went to his hotel and marveled at the largeness of it. He quickly took a shower in his vast room and went downstairs. He only had a few days and he had to organize Trey's funeral and burial as fast as possible.

He came across a tall man dressed in a black suit with dull brown hairand white fading through it.

"Mr.RobertHughes?" Ryan asked polietly.

The man nodded and smiled extending his arm, "Nice to meet you,Ryan. Why don't we go to the lounge and sit down?"

----------------------

"Well I understand that you are planning to hold a funeral for your brother, Trey Atwood?"

"Yes, I would like to talk about locations for the burial. I don't think Trey would want to be buried in Newport or Chino, but rather the place where he had a better life. So I plan to arrange his burial here, in New York, but I don't live here, so I am not sure of the places I can choose from."

"Actually," Mr.Hughes answered, "in this area we have a well-known graveyard, but if you decided against it, we will have to talk about transportation to other graveyards, which are quite far away."

"Do you think you can take me to..."

"Valley Tree Graveyard" Mr.Hughes filled in. "Sure, let's grab a cab."

----------------------

Mr Hughes broke the silence, while waking through the very large graveyard, filled with hills, trees and roses, "When you first called me and arranged to meet me. I thought you might like this place. So I did my reasearch, to find if there other familys buried here by the name of Atwood."

"Actually, I don't have any other family here."

"I found a match, Jack Atwood. Does that sound familar?"
