"Is. There. Hell." She shoved his hand off of her. "I want to see my family."

Robin was walking quietly behind the others, listening in to the conversation. He had a feeling they had forgotten he was there, but he was okay with that. Estella was asking most of his questions for him, so all he had to do was listen and learn.

"YYYEEEESSSS!!!!" Lance moaned, "There is a Hell… And I don't care if you wont believe me."

"Nonononononononono!" Estella stepped back, desperate. "Can I visit? How do I get in?!"

"Get in to Hell?! Have you gone mad! that place is horrible!"

Estella was barely holding back tears. "My–my family. I need to see them. Can I get out again if I enter?"

"Uhhh….. Honey, you should be worrying about yourself! How do you know if you not going there? A second, who said they were in Hell?"

"The–the Bird Woman.", Estella choked out. "They sinned. Please, I have to find them!"

"Whos the Bird Woman, a-nd everyone sins… Did You receive the Last Rites before you died? Or did you ever go to confession?"

"I died in a bombing, there– there was no time! I went to a confession a– about a month before I died, we– we were too busy with the circus to go more often, and—" Her voice quivered slightly. "The Bird Woman was— a friend."

"Did you live a virtuous life?" Lance said calmly, "God is merciful, even to the wicked… He would have forgiven Judas Iscariot if he asked."

"Me, yes. My parents— they sinned to save me and my brother. I don't know where he is."

"How did your parents sin to save you?!" Its it was for a good reason, it would not be considered a sin, right?

Estella squeezed her eyes shut. "Burned down a church. It– it's a long story. The terrorists were all there with us."

"Ohh, that is bad." He placed his hand on his head, manly to check if he was heating up. "I don't know what I can do for you there… And at this point, I don't know if you can ever see them again…. Once your in Heaven you wont even worry about you parent or anyone that might be in that bad place."

"I won't remember?" Her voice sounded lost and scared.

"No, you will remember them, but when your in Heaven you are whole and pure, you know what's right and what's wrong, you know the wrong doing of you family and the harm they caused to our Lord, and you will love him so much that you will feel more sorry for him then for you family…. You will feel justified that they are being punished for the harm they caused to him."

"But they did it to save the orphans……", she whispered.

"Yet again… I don't know if they are in Hell!! Ok! Stop asking me these questions! I'm the Angel of Death, not the Angel of Answering questions!"

Estella backed up, trying to process this information. "Are you old enough to remember 1972?"

"Yes, but at that time I was probably in my bed eating candy." He answered.

"Oh. Nevermind then." Estella stepped back again. "How do I call my Ángel again?"

"Uhhhhhhhh……………………………………………….." He raised his eye brow in thought, "Say, "Sup Angel, Where U at?! Ok, ok, I clearly don't know! I never had a Guardian Angel before."

"I'm sorry for wasting you time, sir.", she said quietly, and turned to leave.

"Awwwwwwwww…" he said softly, "Now I'm lonely."
