Rose had outlived Sam. Sam was now wondering in the abyss...He was in his 40s. Cancer...
Sam knew that Martin would be arriving soon. Right now he was hanging out at his funeral. Rose was talking. She as saying some really nice stuff. She knew he was there. She couldn't not know.

Martin was waiting, and watching from a distance. It wasnt healthy to just rip someone away before there was closure. It prevented the whole 'moving on' thing from happening. So, they always waited until after the funeral at the very least. The car was down the street,ready for use.

It ended. She stood behind Rose and put a hand on her shoulder. She seemed comfortatd...Okay, he was ready....He'd find a way to make contact. He stood off to the side, waiting for Martin. He was ready to make a decision

Martin walked up beside him. This would be Sam's absolute last chance to decide for himself. He didnt say anything, but rather just waited for him to speak.

"Am I allowed to change my mind later?' he asked. One question. That would determine everything. Sam watched Martin for his reaction.

Martin didnt have a reaction. Being an empath aswell, they had whiped out his emotions so that he could use the gift better. Of all the things he could have felt, all that was left was related to his job, his pride in it, his love of it. "with a contract, yes. they can give you your soul back" Martin said flatly,"the decision you make now is final for getting in,however."

"Fine....I'll do it" Sam said. He bit his lip 'Under one condition" He said after a moment. "Rose is left alone" He said "and her soul is allowed to do what it wants" That was all, simple enough, right?

"the dead cant be left wandering, Sam." Martin replied,"heaven and hell exist for a reason." Martin couldnt make that kind of a promise to him. The consequences of wandering souls were all too real, for proof all he had to do was talk to anyone who had dealt with them on Earth.

meanwhile, he woke up, but everything looked different. last thing he remembered was he was trying to kill a friend who he thought had betrayed him, but it was he who betrayed his friend. the night before, he had got drunk and got into a big agruement with his friend, blaming him for stuff that he didnt even do.
the night before, a gang member he use to be a part of, told him some stuff that he said his friend did or was planning to do, but lied about it when none of it was true. after being told, he went to do something to his friend and find out the truth, but eventully lead into a big fight and moments later, was stabbed by his own friend.

"Do you take her for an idiot?" Sam asked "She know's where she wants to go, its simple" He said. Sam needed a promise. Something writen in stone. That was how he worked now.

"without a contract, the dead dont really have a choice." Martin sighed. "without a contract its based entirely on how you live your life" He explained. "your asking me to make a promise i cant keep."

"That's unfair" He said "In life we have a choice, but not in death? What kind of existance is that? Why deny us what we are born with" He said. Uh oh...Sam is mad

"its karma. i have no control over it, Sam. no one does. in life you make choices that like everything, has consequences. the way you live determines what those consquences are. the more you have to atone for, the greater the consequences will be, because by necessity your soul has to be cleansed.." Martin said. "it is neither good nor bad, it just is..."

Sam nodded. "Okay...I'll do it" He said softly. Something as telling him he should. Probably ideas left over from his last life. Hopefully Rose could get reincarnated or something. He sighed. He was not happy about this.

"alright..." Martin said, "the car is over there," he pointed to a red car down the street. "ill get your body." Martin made himself invisible, so he could slip in without anyone present noticing. Phasing between the different vibrations was one thing being dead had to offer, at least.
