Welcome Angel six one three.
*Ding*
You have a new assignment. Would you like to see the details?
"Open."
Hello, Angel six one three.
I know this is your first day in the Department of Death, but things move quickly in this department. If there were not three wars going on right now, I would have sent a more experienced angel out with you to make sure nothing goes wrong during your first assignment. Sadly, I we do not have the ability to make that happen right now. I am giving you a pretty straightforward accidental death is your first assignment the details are below.
Target: John Smith
Age: Twenty-two
Home Address : apartment three seventy-one B Ocean View Apartments, Los Diablos
Time of Death : nine : fifty one local time.
Details: Ensure the target is hit by a city bus at the indicated time.
""Looks simple enough, wish they gave more details than that, oh well.""
"Close assignments tab."
*ding*
"What it the current local time?"
Nine : forty.
""Well, I am going to be cutting it close. I better start looking for him. L.A. is a big city after all.""
""Ah, feathers there I go talking to myself, or rather my angle phone again.""
Angel six one three began scanning the city in an effort to find her target. Lucky for her the R & D department just released the latest version of Angle Lens the day before that had the ability to overlay info on any human she was looking at. She had been told that before Heaven went all high-tech Death assignments where very difficult because it was hard to make sure you had the right one. What made it worse was the task was often given to the human's guardian angel, if they had one. Occasionally a mistake would be made, and the angle would be heavily punished for the mistake. Thinking that her targets home address might be a good place to start with, Angel six one three flew in that direction while checking the time once again. She had spent five full minutes just locating the apartment, only to find him not there.
""Don't panic you still have six minutes. He probably just went out for coffee or something. You found that tiny little bug back when you were in IT. So, you can definitely find a human right. Maybe if you do a good job, Upper Management will finally give you an el name.""
After the short pepe talk six one three gave herself, she flew out of the apartment complex scanning every human she passed by. With only a minute-and-a-half to go, she saw the name Jhon Smith pop into view on her Angel Lens. Just as she guessed the target had gone to get a coffee and was walking out of the shop with one in his hand and a cake pop stick hanging out of his mouth. A bus just happened to be stopped on the corner thanks to a traffic light. So, it looked like she was going to be able to pull off her first assignment without any problems. She had just enough time to peak to see if the I.D. hanging out of his wallet that he was trying to shove into his pants pocket had an address that matched the one of her target.
""Yes, apartment three seventy-one Ocean View Apartments...drive. And this is most defiantly Los Angeles. If I just slightly bump your coffee there it should distract you just enough that you steep out in front of the moving bus, right on time.""
*Skreeeccchh*
*Bam*
Placing her hand on what was left of the mangled body, angle six one three guided the soul of John Smith out of his body the way she was shown during orientation earlier. According to what she was told, she would receive and update on her assignments tab saying that the assignment was complete. Part of that update would tell her if she needed to escort the soul to Heaven or to the gates of Hell. To prevent angles form wanting to avid the Hell assignments they were not told about the soul's destination prior to the death.
"Hua, what is going on? Who are you, and why are you holding my hand?"
"How do I put this gently. John Smith of apartment three seventy-one B Ocean View Apartments, you walked out in front of a bus and died. I am for a lack of better words, an angle of death. As for why I am holding your hand, well that sort of just happened. I feel sorry for all the beauties that are going to miss a young blond-haired, blue-eyed man such as you. Right now, I am waiting to find out if I am taking you up or down. I think you can understand what I mean by that."
"My name is John Smith, but I hate to tell you that Ocean View does not have any apartment B that I know of. I do live in apartment three seventy-one thought."
"Oh! maybe I read the address wrong let me double check my assignment tab."
Pulling out her G Phone, Angel six one three started to open her Godnet app.
"Angels have I phones?"
"Ours are called G Phones, you know like God Phones. We have our own Internet too. I even was on the development team for it. I do not know why I am telling you all of this, but I guess it is okay."
"I thought heaven was all scrolls, and big books, with streets paved with gold."
"It was, but God changed things up a bit after Luciferel, well guess it is just Lucifer, or Satan now, rebelled, and the entire Great Flood ordeal. Now Heaven is like a Giant Mega Corporation, where God is the CEO. All those Angels you probably heard of are like board members, and department heads. Now if you will please give me a moment, I need to check what the assignment tab says. Maybe I just missed the notification ding."
Looking down at the screen, angle six one three could plainly see the home address had a B after the number.
Target: John Smith
Age: Twenty two
Home Address : apartment three seventy one B Ocean View Apartments, Los Diablos
Time of Death : nine : fifty one local time.
"John Smith, how long have you lived in that apartment?"
"Around a year, but I have lived in the building for a long time. I used to live on the ninth floor with my mother, before I got my own place. Well, I do have a roommate, His name is Jhon too."
"Any idea what his last name is?"
"Not a clue."
"Hi, Val display a list of John Smith's that live in Los Diablos."
There are seven hundred and three John Smith listed as living in the city. Three are listed as living in the same building as your current Target.
"Why did you say Los Diablos? I did not even know that there was one. You know this is L.A. right as in Los Angeles?"
"AHH, feathers."
"Feathers?"
"Angels can not curse, so we use feathers as a sort of tiny loophole. But that is not the point I am going to be in sooo much trouble. Do you have any idea what they do to an angel that takes the soul of the wrong human. I guess I know why I never got the update saying up or down."
"Okay so what is going to happen to me, miss angel?"
"I I do not know this is my first day in the department of death. You were my fist assignment even. Well not you, you but another John Smith. maybe if I act fast, I can just swap you with him. You have played a video game before right; I think you have those on earth."
"Yea, I play lots of games when I am not working, I even got to demo the new VR and AR shades that are not even on the market for another year thanks to my sister's husband. He owns the building I live in too and gives me a huge discount on rent."
"Good just think of life as a game, and you just got a chance to change your character, and even the starting location. it is going to feel like you are sleeping for a long time, that is just how it is when a soul is being born. God thought that you humans would go crazy if you had any way of remembering what it was like to grow inside your mother's womb, so we just make it all sleepy time for your soul, even if the body is awake. You are going to be on a new world when you "wake up" If you like games, you are going to love it in Los Diablos."
"Can't you just put me back in my old body?"
"Nope, the city could not I.D. ya so they sorta just shoved what was left into an incinerator. Do us angles a favor, and do not pick such a common name for yourself okays."
"Hua?"
"You will understand when you wake up. Nighty night time."

""Feathers, I was almost done. Well, I guess if Upper Management is calling, I am in big troubles, but the "proper" department head will finish up with him, I guess. Oh, well Things happen, this can't be the first time someone messed up on their first day, right?"
