Sophie grabbed the taser from the security guard and marched up to the troublemaking boss. He gave her a
once-over and sneered, "Mrs. Costello? What, no men left in the Costello family, so they send a woman to handle

Holding Colby's hand, Sophie
continued, "We're husband and wife now. Facing the storms ahead, we can'talways be held back by others."
Hearing Sophie's words, Colby's throat tightened, and he replied in a low, husky voice, "Okay."
Outside the funeral, a man hidden in the shadows of the trees quietly placed a mourning band on his chest,
watching the scene unfold.
Outside the hall, Jenna, in a modest black dress, and Adler, unusually dressed in a formal black suit,
walked in holding

bands.
The crowd parted for them as Jenna and Adler placed the bands in front of the grandfather's coffin.
Adler, looking at Lennon's portrait, remembered how strict Lennon had been with him when he was the
naughtiest kid.
Memories of Lennon chasing him with a stick flashed through his mind.
