Re: Aaron? and Laura
Aaron knew he owed Laura a lot for what she'd accomplished on his behalf. It should have been his responsibility to do what needed to be done and take care of the bastards that killed Marta. They deserved whatever punishment Laura had dealt out and probably more besides.
He kept shovelling the dirt on top of Marta's body until it was no longer visible. He wiped his brow as he finished and stepped back from the grave, tears unshed in his eyes. "I just want to thank you for coming," he said to Laura as people milled around. "I know what you did, I can't repay."
