TW: physical assault 

Angel woke up in a dimly lit room, tied up to a chair. He tried to budge free but failed. His captor paced around him.

"Finally awake, Angel Dust." said his captor.

"Yeah, and what's it to ya?"

The captor held a knife against Angel's face.

"I want you to tell me where your boss stashes his vault."

Angel laughed "It's hilarious you think I'd tell you anything."

The captor grabbed Angel off the ground by the neck.

"Fine! I guess I'll just have to fuck the information out of ya."

Angel stared at him defiantly "Do your worst. Daddy~"

"You know, this performance won me a Sex-x-xi award." said Angel.

He was showing the residents of the hotel a movie he'd starred in.

"It's, uh... Very... Honest?..." Charli said, looking away from the movie.

"Ew." Vaggie said. "Enough of that."

Vaggie turned off the TV. She turned her head to Angel Dust with a disapproving and unamused stare.

"Angel, what the fuck?"

"What? You said was show-and-tell day. I'm showin' you my best film, and I'm tellin you that it scored me a win over that bitch, Tiffany Titfucker."

"Ya know, not a very convincing interrogation scene." Husk said, while wiping a wine glass.

"Alright, dickhead. What makes you think you have any right to insult my work to my fuckin' face?"

"You really gonna sit there and act like these scripts ain't hot garbage?"

"They really are, Angel," said Adriana

"Oh go to Hell!"

"Already here, darling," Adriana said, sipping wine at the bar.

"Don't get me started. I see right through you and all this bullshit and how fake you are." Husk said.

"Oh ho ho, me? Fake? Wow, I had no idea. Guess that's why I'm an actor, dumbass. And-" his phone vibrated "Hold that thought."

"Hello? Uh, yeah I'm-I'm... No, No, I just, I... Yeah, I'll be right there. Well, uh... Looks like Val needs me for an... Uh-- emergency shoot."

Adriana came up to him and said in a quieter voice: "I thought we agreed you wouldn't go to shoots today... you're hurt!"

"It's okay, Dria." he said, putting on pink sunglasses.

"Angel, you can't leave yet. We haven't finished our exercises for the day!" said Charlie.

"I'm sure you'll manage without me."

"There isn't much time left for the hotel to prove itself!"

"Dollface, it's my job. I know you want to fix everything but unless you can fix my boss, there's nothing you can do."

Angel walked out the door.

Adriana looked at the door. How bad could that boss be if he'd risk reopening a wound for his job? - she thought.

She heard Vaggie talk to Charlie, although she didn't really register the words.

"I'm going over there and I'm going to- aggressively kindly- ask Val to give Angel more time off for the hotel!" said Charlie.
