The sound still echoed through the dock through Hannah's ears, as she tried to focus on the funeral service.
The Ministers words were muffled, as that scene ran on a loop in Hannah's mind. She'd reached down to get the USB, and looked up to see it, to see the murder. Her business was filled with deaths, but this one was personal. Hannah felt a hand on her shoulder, and she turned to see Stephanie with a tear falling down her own cheek. Her friend tried to smile, then turned back to the minister and Hannah took in a shaky breath, trying to focus. "He was a kind man, who made the world a better place. His sacrifice will go down in our hearts, and the lives he saved will fondly remember him."
Hannah tuned out the rest of the eulogy and looked around at her fellow mourners. His family were all here, but she couldn't bring herself to face them. Slowly, people started to stand and give condolences to them but Hannah ducked out quickly, unable to face anyone. She heard footsteps behind her and quickened her pace.
Through the fog, Stephanie called out her name, and she stopped feeling Steph slam into her back. They tumbled forward and dirt filled Hannah's mouth as she failed to brace herself properly.
Her eyes watered slightly and she coughed as she turned slowly.
"Sorry," Hannah mumbled as she pushed herself up and reached out her hand to help Stephanie up.

As they moved towards their ride, Hannah groaned at the thought of seeing their new handler, Noel. Ordinarily, she wouldn't have accepted such a risk, but after the events a few weeks ago, she didn't much care.
As they reached the black sedan, Hannah slid inside and watched Noel reading at papers on his lap. Stephanie followed her into the car and without looking up, Noel tapped on the glass behind him. The car lurched forward and Hannah crossed her arms, sitting as straight as possible.
"Sorry our first meeting had to be on this particular day," Noel said, looking up. Stephanie scoffed and crossed her arms, slouching back in her seat.
"Where are we at?" Hannah asked, her voice cold. She wasn't in the mood for pleasantries.
Noel's left eyebrow raised slightly and he sighed. "I'm very sorry for your loss, however the mission remains the same." He paused and looked back at his papers. "Taking down CGT and Evelyn Carmichael is our top priority right now."
Noel reached over and handed Hannah a small envelope, watching as she opened it.
"Those are the instructions on how to contact me for updates on your progress," he said, shifting in his seat.
Hannah passed the envelope to Stephanie. "This is our top priority as well Noel," Hannah said, narrowing her eyes. "We're going to stop Evelyn and take down CGT, no matter the cost."
