I looked up and saw Marian standing over me. She reached down and pulled me up.

'I'd like to apologise for Robin in advance,' she told me. 'But you do realise that he couldn't find anything else to think when you were pardoned. He will feel deeply guilty when your body is found.'

'Yeah, I know,' I said. 'I'm not angry at him. What was he supposed to think? Thank you, Marian. Is that why you came to get me?'

'Partially,' she answered. 'The other reason is that it is a job I was rewarded with for my services. Robin will join me when he dies.' She smiled wryly. 'Can you see either of us living out peaceful lives in Heaven after this? Oppression will still exist and, eventually, we will want to continue fighting it.'

I chuckled. She had a point.

'So what is your job, exactly?' I asked.

'A guide, for the most part,' Marian said. 'I decide who will go to Heaven and who will go to Hell. The rest of it is taking care of the people here.'

'So, basically what you always did.' I laughed.

'Yes,' Marian agreed.

'Are many people going to die today?' I asked curiously.

'No,' Marian answered. 'But a lot of people will die tomorrow. Gisborne will be the first. Then Robin will kill Vaisey, Isabella and all with them. And then Robin himself will die.'

'Oh…' I had to collect my thoughts for that one. 'Well, when you see him, tell him he's forgiven.'

'I will,' Marian promised.

A light suddenly appeared and I knew it was the way to Heaven.
