"The ad about the Heaven? He didn't mention it?"

"No. He ain't said nothin' bout no Heaven."

"May I speak to him, please? He called me and left a message on my answering
machine."

There was a pause.

"Mrs. Washington?"

"He ain't here."

"Well, is there a good time to call him back? He was pretty intent on talking
about it."

"He ain't gonna be back. He got busted last night."

"Oh . . ."

"They caught him sellin."

"Oh, I'm . . . I don't know what to say."

"Lance done what he had to do. Now I guess I will too."

"Well, I, I'm sorry I bothered you. Good-bye, ma'am."

"What was that ad about, anyhow?"

"Oh, I uh, I found a piece of Heaven lying by the side of the road about a week
ago, and I'm just trying to find out who it belonged to. Your husband seemed to
think it might be yours."

"Mine?"

"Well, yours and his, and your kid's...the family's."

"He did, huh?"

"Yes. Did you lose Heaven, Mrs. Washington?"

"Yeah, I reckon we did."

"Well maybe it is yours. Can you tell me what it looks like?"

"Oh, now, I don't know . . ."

"You have to try, Mrs. Washington. Otherwise how will I know?"
