Tim peeks through the door before he and Adam enter the hotel room. To make sure they weren't interrupting anything.

Avi was in the room alone, sitting at the foot of the bed staring at the television. He was completely healed of any cuts or bruises.

"I can't believe the sin that is on tv these days." He says, tilting his head to the side as he stared at the screen. "Rape, murder, adultery, cursing. No wonder this world is going to Hell. What happened to the shows like 'Gilligan's Island' or 'I Love Lucy'?"

"Times has changed, my friend." Tim says as he sits down beside him. "And not for the good, I'm sad to say."

"No wonder Satan is so happy. He's got this world in the palm of his hand." Avi says as he shakes his head.

"The people are allowing it to happen, though." Adam says. "They've taken prayer out of schools but yet they give bibles to prisoners in prison. Which doesn't really make any sense. Maybe if they allowed prayer in schools, they might not have so many prisoners."

"I never really believed in God until it was too late." Avi says sadly. "I thought the Bible was just full of fairy tales and Heaven and Hell was just mythical places."

"Can I ask how you died?" Adam asks.

"Drug overdose. A mixture of heroin and cocaine. That's when I found out Hell was for real. But it was too late then." Avi says, shrugging his shoulders.

"Well, it's a little too late for us to say 'I should have done this' or 'I wish I had lived my lived differently' because what's done is done." Tim says. "I don't mean to sound cruel but that's how it is. BUT we're out of there now."

"That's true." Avi says with a slight smile.

"Plus this conversation is a little depressing." Tim chuckles. "Soooo, did you get you any?"

"What?" Avi laughs.

"Tim." Adam scolds. "What kind of question is that?"

"A good one." Tim says seriously. "Avi needs to know that being a renegade isn't as bad as it sounds and that having sex with an angel is probably the closest to heaven that we'll ever be. And being in love with one without having to answer to anyone IS pure Heaven."

"To answer your question, no, we didn't have sex." Avi says, rubbing the back of his neck. "You know how awkward this is. I feel like I'll be sent to hell again if I touch her in the wrong places."

"Lucy definitely don't want you back if you've been contaminated by an angel." Tim says.

"Do you have to use the word, contaminated?" Adam asks. 

"Well, that's how Lucifer sees it." Avi says.

"So, you two didn't do anything?" Tim asks with disappointment in his voice. "Just talked?"

"No, I didn't say that." Avi says, shaking his head. "We kissed."

"How? Just a peck on the lips or passionately?" Tim asks.

"Tim." Adam scolds.

"Well, that's important. There's a big difference between the two." Tim says with a smirk on his face.

"It was very passionate." Avi replies.

"Was tongue involved?" Tim asks, raising a brow.

"OH, GOOD HEAVENS, TIM!" Adam says, raising his voice as his demon lover laughs.

"That's really none of your business, Timothy." Avi laughs.

"IT WAS, WASN'T IT!!??" Tim shouts, jumping up like an excited child.

"That's it. Let's go." Adam says as he grabs Tim by the hand.

"Where?" A confused Tim asks.

"I need to see if I have a job to do." Adam says, picking up his book.

"Baby Doll, you haven't done a job since I've known you." Tim chuckles.

"Yeah, I know. But maybe I'll get lucky today." Adam says, giving him a smile.

"Mind if I tag along? I don't have anything else to do." Avi asks with pleading eyes.

"Sure, we don't mind." Adam smiles.

"Yeah, you'll get to see Adam in action." Tim smirks.

"Jerk." The angel laughs as he slaps Tim on the arm.

"I'd just like to see if we're still capable of doing anything, since we're both new at this renegade stuff." Avi smirks.

"Sounds fun. Let's go. Lead the way my beloved angel." Tim says, kissing Adam on the back of the hand.

"Uh, Oh." Adam says as they make their way down the sidewalk. He's looking through his appointments for the day.

"What's wrong?" Tim asks as he looks through a store window.

"Tim, Jenika is back on the list." Adam says, looking up from the book.

"Who's Jenika?" Avi asks.

"My wife." Tim shrugs.

"Oh. So you have to get her pregnant?" Avi asks, furrowing his brow.

"Technically speaking." Adam chuckles.

"I'm o.k. with it." Tim nods. "I'm madly in love with someone else so she can do whatever the hell she wants."

"Are you sure?" Adam asks.

"Positive." Tim smiles.

They walk pass a coffee shop. A homeless man is out front sitting on the sidewalk. A very rich businessman walks out of the shop carrying a cup of coffee and a box of doughnuts.

"You stinking bum." The man growls, looking at the man wearing a Viet Nam Vet cap.

"*SSHOLE!" Tim shouts angrily hitting the bottom of the coffee cup, spilling hot coffee all over the man and his expensive suit.

The man screams out in pain dropping the box of doughnuts.

Avi quickly kicks the box over to the starving man.

The homeless man's eyes widen as he sees the box suddenly slid over in his direction.

"Sh*t." The rich man says as he grabs his handkerchief and begins to wipe his suit as he hurries to his car and drives away.

Adam giggles at the two demons celebrating and giving each other a high-five. 

The homeless vet whispers a quiet "Thank - you" as he eats his doughnuts.
