After funeral is over the parade begins, and the crowd begins to move off towards the cemetery. Six pallbearers emerge from the funeral home, bearing a long pine coffin. The band, who you recognize as the 5-Stars from the Blue Heaven, strike up “I`ll see you on Judgement Day”. As the procession moves along the streets, more people join, swelling the crowd size. The investigators find themselves near the front, not too far from the coffin. The musicians are walking in a line behind the coffin, with the man you recognize as the band leader in front. The drummer is in the rear, banging the big bass drum strapped to his chest. All carry a serious and noble bearing.
A kind-looking elderly man in an old but immaculate suit is walking alongside our heroes. He glances at them curiously.
“Excuse me” he says. “Pardon me for asking, but we were wondering how you know the deceased? I thought I knew most of Frederick’s friends.”
