Notes: Forget what team you're on? Here's the roster. BTW Team Innes wins. Hey, that's the way the dice fell.

It was a sunny and gorgeous day, just as Charlie had announced on her radio program. Dave doubted that any of the adults were completely relaxed, but the mood was festive in spite of--or maybe because of--the armed guards keeping watch from the bleachers. Others patrolled the outskirts of the ball fields and the nearby playground. Even though his team had ultimately lost to 'team Innes', Dave felt that the day had been a resounding success. The kids had actually gotten to play baseball! And now some of them were gorging themselves on sodas and candy bars from the concession stand, he noted with a grin. Maybe the exercise they'd gotten would offset the inevitable sugar rush.

Dave's grin didn't diminish in the least as Rory strolled over. He raised a hand in greeting and waited for the inevitable heckling to commence.

There were no flag-draped caskets. The dead had already been buried in haste, the grave sites far outside the Safe Zone--the survival of the remaining residents of the Compound demanded it. There were no oversize flower arrangements, no funeral dirges, just a group of survivors who'd made the trek up the stairs to the roof to say their goodbyes to fallen friends, neighbors, and comrades.

As the sun set over the Manhattan skyline, Father David Maguire opened the ceremony, praying that those gathered around him would find comfort in the familiar phrases. "'I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth; and though this body be destroyed, yet shall I see God.'" The service continued with the Twenty-third Psalm--that being one of the most well-known and frequently memorized bits of scripture the Bible had to offer--followed by the Lord's Prayer.

"'Into paradise may the angels lead thee; and at thy coming may the martyrs receive thee, and bring thee into the holy city Jerusalem'," Dave recited, "'where there is no death, neither sorrow nor crying, but the fullness of joy with all thy saints.'" He made the sign of the cross. "In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen."
