CHAPTER 5

"Hello Sir! Um..We're new here. So.. Um.. Will you guide us through the work?"

"Yeah Obviously! Why not? Well you..", he looked at the one on the right "..get the lights ready and you..", he looked at the other one on the left "..you get ready with the covers."

"These..", he showed the yellow covers to his senior. "No No No No.. The blue ones. Don't tell me you don't have it with you...", he saw denial on his face thus continued "..alright! No worries! Just get the blue ones fast, Jave will be here any moment.", the senior said. "But Sir what's the problem with the yellow.. I mean they all are covers, doesn't matter of what color?!", he said to which his senior controlled himself and said, "Look! Do as I say. Get the blue ones and hurry up! Its almost time.", he looked at his watch.

Allan, Nathan, Saul and Rick came to the hospital with Jave. The doctor came out along with the nurses and laid Jave on the stretcher. The friends told the doctor that Jave lost consciousness all of a sudden and that he has a history of a heart condition. Jave had faint heartbeats.

He looked at the watch, "Get ready!...Lights and Covers now!"

"Where am I?", Jave could see himself on the stretcher, he saw strong bright light surrounding him. "Oh Goodness! Get your other wing out too. What are you saving the light for? Jave will obviously get a 360° view.", the senior told him so he quickly spread his other wing. Now both of his wings were in the sky sparking out bright white light. As the senior said Jave did turn to see around. "Am I outside.. In the other world!!!... Am I dead?", Jave bombarded himself with numerous questions as he tried to figure out what he was seeing. The doctors were giving him electric shocks and he could see his friends crying. He felt bad and then he smelled something good. "Did you..?", the senior looked at the one managing the covers, "..Uhh.. Yeah I mean I thought .. you know.. It was getting boring so I thought why not have some fragrance in the air.", he meekly said to which his companion raised his eyebrows in fear of getting scolded. "Oh thats so kind of you!..", the senior rolled his eyes "... why not take him to Paradise if thats what you want?! Don't do anything until asked. Got it?" Jave couldn't understand anything except that he was out of his body. "Its time!", the senior said.

"Ahhhhh! He's back! We got a beat!", the doctor said. His friends didn't stop crying just replaced the tears of sorrow with the ones of joy. The doctor then hurriedly took Jave inside the hospital.

"Sir, I'm still not clear about the covers.", he said as they flew up in the sky. "The covers. Yeah.. Well you're new so you'll learn the significance of the colors. There are hundreds of them even I know only the ones that are frequently used. For now I'll tell you that yellow are made for spying on the devils and the blue is there to be kept hidden from the dead. You must be knowing that living people can't see us so for cases like the one we just dealt where dead people are revived back to life, we are not supposed to show ourselves to them. The sounds don't travel outside the blue but in the green one it does. There are some covers just for the sake of precautions. I can go on talking about them the whole night. A big list, indeed...", the senior said. ".. Anymore questions?", he looked back. "Yeah.. I was wondering what is your job? I mean I did the covers and he, the lights. What did you do?", he asked.The senior felt something in his pocket, he took out the page and away he went without answering his question.

"Seriously! Are you an idiot or are you acting like one?", his companion exclaimed. "What? Cmon I don't know. I came into existence barely an hour ago. I'm curious.", he replied. His companion couldn't take it anymore and accelerated. "Okay if you don't wanna tell me who he was then tell me why he didn't come with us. And that page?", he shouted. He took out his page and whispered, "It was not definitely not like the one with me." His companion turned and shouted back, "You have to learn a lot, pages like that belong to special kind of Angels and its famously known as the 'List of Dead'!"
