"Agent Whitney, I wasn't expecting to see you here again."

When Joshua spoke, Grace could detect a hidden resentment because of who she represented. Upon her return, Grace had contacted Liam to ask him what had happened to Jonathan and Liam told her the whole story behind the Taelons' involvement and mind control scheme at One Taelon Avenue. He'd also told her that Joshua was pretty much
holding himself responsible for Jonathan's death.

He must now really realize that the Taelons DID kill Jonathan. she thought. Grace laid the flowers on the grave, thankful for the fact she had on her own sunglasses. Before standing up again, she took a moment to look at the grave beside Jonathan's and saw that
it was the grave of Joshua's mother. She stood up and looked at him.

"Yeah, well I didn't get the opportunity at the funeral to pay my respects to your father as I would have wished. And I also would like to offer you my condolences for the loss of your father," Grace said, knowing very well that he might resent her saying it.

"Thank you." he said but there was no gratitude in his voice.

Grace wanted to say so much more but she knew he'd resent it because it would be coming from a Companion Agent. She wanted to try and be his friend, but she couldn't unless she told him who she was in the Resistance. It was time to leave and she knew it.

"I'm sorry I invaded your privacy. Again, my condolences on the loss of your father," Grace said and she turned to leave Joshua alone after taking one last glance at Jonathan's grave.

Joshua watched her retreating form and for a moment he had the strangest feeling about her. With a smile he looked back down at grave.

"Dad, I wish you were here to confirm the thought that just crossed my mind," he muttered. He looked down at the flowers that Grace had left and he saw a card attached to it. Puzzled, Joshua took off his glasses and bent down beside the flowers long enough to retrieve the card. It read:

Rest in peace now, Jonathan.

All our love,

Liam, Renee, Augur, and Grace

Joshua turned in the direction Grace had left him alone and discovered that she was gone.

"So you ARE a part of the Resistance."

He smiled.
