The bridge of Heaven and Hell//Charlie Morningstar x Male reader

Chapter VIII "Traction"

(Y/n) POV:

I started to wake up as I heard people talking around me and I eventually managed to open my eyes with a slight groan "What... the hell happened?" I asked while sitting up and suddenly receiving a hug from Charlie "Alright... that doesn't answer my question," I said while suddenly feeling a jolt of pain in my arm "FUCK!" I yelled out of reaction as Charlie let go and I grabbing my arm. I slowly started to let go and tried to calm down while leading back and laying back down "Sorry...," I heard Charlie say "It ain't your fault, besides, this ain't nothing compared to the last couple of times I was shot," I said while chuckling a little.

I then heard as the door opened and someone walk inside "Excuse me? Is this the place where Demons can be redeemed?" I heard someone say as I tried to look over and saw a demon waiting by the door "Indeed it is, You can check in at the front desk," Charlie responded as I took a second to process what happened "Was that... a client?" I asked a little surprised.  I looked back at Charlie who had a large smile on her face as she nodded up and down repeatedly "Was I in a coma for a decade?" I jokingly asked "Nope, just yesterday people started coming in for redemption," she responded as I laid back down.

"How many people are in the program currently?" I asked as Charlie chuckled "Only fifteen right now," she said as I sighed "Guess your little project may actually succeed," I said while getting up "You sure your alright?" Charlie asked as I stretched a little "If people are sighing up for redemption I'm gonna need to start working more," I said. "You've already done enough to help," Charlie said "All I did was get us a sponsor, we're gonna need a lot more then a live radio to actually get us started up," I said while walking towards the door "And how are you gonna do that?" Charlie asked "I know a few people and have the money to get us what we need," I said while exiting and walking away.

I got onto my phone and started dialing a number as I put the phone to my ear and waited "Hello?" the person asked "Yo, Harry, I'm ready to use that favor," I said as I heard rustling on the other end "Alright, meet me at the same bar as usual," he said as I agreed and hung the phone up while making my way towards the location.

~Short Time Skip~

I got to the bar and walked inside where I received multiple stares for reasons that were unknown to me, but I simply ignored them and sat at a table while scrolling through my phone for a little "(Y/n)! How's it going?" I heard a voice ask as I looked up from my phone and saw a demon walk towards me "Wassup Harry," I said as he took a seat. After awhile of talking to each other we finally got to the topic on why I was hear "Let me get this straight, you want billboards on all the places I have access to?" he asked as I nodded "You know how much money that's gonna cost you?" he asked "I have the money for the job, I just need your guarantee that you can do it form me," I responded.

He gave a sigh before taking a sip of his beer and saying "It's not just the money I'm worried about," he said in a whispering tone as I leaned in to listen closely "With Lucifer wanting the place dead and your soul evicted from you body, he's starting to kill off and cut down businesses that even mentioning the word redemption," he said as I sighed in annoyance.  I then leaned back into my chair and started thinking "What can you do about News channels or TV ads?" I asked "Unless it's about going against the hotel your not really getting far," he explained as a idea came to my head "What about posters?" I asked as he shrugged and started thinking too.

"Guess if you set them around the city they'll be to much to take down," he said as I leaned forward "Can you create the posters required?" I asked as he gave a slight nod "As long as Lucifer don't know about it then it could work," he said as I smirked "So get the posters ready and I'll pay you once the jobs done," I said as he nodded.  "Just be carful, With the amount of assassins going after you it'll be difficult to keep it hidden for long," he said as I just nodded "Hey, can you take me to your office, I want to have specific details on the poster," I said as he just nodded "Course, follow me," he said as we exited and I felt glares from behind me.
