The Residence

Bobby, sneaked upstairs. It was early in the morning, Caroline and John were told to be dressed, as they had to leave. Bobby knocked on Caroline's door, he entered to find John in Caroline's arms, hugging his sister. "Uncle Bobby!" Caroline smiled before running to him. John followed. Bobby embraced his niece and nephew. 

"Uncle Bobby, I remember what I have to do today" John smiled, hugging Bobby's legs. Bobby chuckled, only to perk up the children. They held hands. "Are you ready?" Bobby asked. They nodded. They headed downstairs. 

They entered the East Room. A crowd surrounded them. They went over to the coffins. Caroline went forward and kissed both of them. To each of them, she whispered goodbye. 

After a few prayers and hymns, men came in to carry out the coffin and place it on the gun carriage. An emotional Bobby, hand in hand with his late brother's children, watched on.
