Getting ready

Angel was in his room, trying to decide what to wear for the night.
"Nifty told us that you won't be with us tonight"
Angel turned around and faced Cherri.
"My father wants to see me"
The cyclops started looking quite scared and walked to the spider.
"Can I come too?"
"What are you saying?"
Now it was Angel's turn to be scared.
"I want to stay with you, I want to help you like you did with me"
"Cherri..."
She started crying and a big tear fell on the floor.
"I'm scared for you Angie! Please promise me you will come back alive"
"I promise, everything will be alright, he just wants to talk"
The two broke in a long hung until Cherri got away.
"What are you going to wear tonight?"
"A fucking smoking"
Angel really hated the smoking he was going to wear, he knew that he couldn't wear a dress but this was the most annoying suit he had ever see.
"Wait I have something for you"
"Cherri you know that I can't wear a dress tonight if I still want to live"
"Who talked about dresses?"
Cherri came back with another smoking.
"What's the difference?"
"Look"
Cherri grabbed the suit and showed it to Angel.
It actually wasn't a standard smoking, it had pink details on the sleeves and on the back it had a pink flame. 
"Put it on!"
When Angel looked in the mirror he finally felt more confident, now it was more like his style.
"Wait the glasses are missing"
Cherri put on the spider's head some pink flame shaped glasses.
"Now you are the Angel I know!"
"I don't know what to say, it's beautiful, thank you so much"
"At least if you need to wear a suit you are wearing it with style, everyone will have their eyes on you"

"Nobody needs to have their eyes on you"  said Husk's co-worker.
"Just put a normal black suit and you will be fine"
The cat was looking at himself in the mirror while his phone was on speaker.
"I have an hypothesis of why He wants you to be there"
"Why?"
"It's too risky to tell you now, come thirty minutes early to the casino and we will discuss about it"
Husk wasn't ready for it, he was scared of the idea to see again that place.
Yes, he had been planning to take Angel there and explain to him his story, but he hadn't found the courage yet.
Someone knocked at the door.
"Who is it?"
"Alastor"
Could that day go any worse? Apparently yes.
"What do you want?" Said Husk opening the door.
"Oh my dear, why are you so rude?"
"You know, usually people who own my soul aren't my favorite one"
"Ah ah ah, you are hilarious!"
Alastor made his way trough the room and sat on the bed.
"Why are you here?"
"Don't you think that you should have asked for my permission to go to the casino?"
"Fuck"
Husk really hoped that Alastor wouldn't mind him going, but apparently it wasn't that way.
"Oh but don't worry Husker! I'm not mad, you can go"
"What?"
"Yes! Don't worry, but please, don't do any card game if you don't want to spread your secrets"
"Huh?"
"I must go, have a nice day my dear friend"
"What does that mean?"
"Bye" said Alastor shutting the door behind him.
What the hell was wrong with that demon? Husk was too tired to bother but that meeting left him suspicious, why Alastor didn't want to come with him? Or why did he want him to go?
It was late, there wasn't any time to ask the overlord these question, so he left the hotel and started walking. 
He arrived and decided to enter from the back where he found two threatening demons who were obviously looking for Husk.
"We were waiting for you"
