When Angel Dust entered the Hotel, the first thing he did was collapse on the couch. Fat Nuggets ran up to Angel Dust, nuzzling him with both a happy and concerned look on his face.
Angel sighed. "Not now, Fat Nuggets. I just had the fucking worst night of my fucking life. The only good part is that I'm still sober - only tired as hell."
Charlie walked up to Angel Dust. "What happened last night?"
Angel Dust just groaned.
"Oh OK. I guess right now is not the best time to talk about it," Charlie said. "I totally respect that by awkwardly walking away and totally giving you space."
"Charlie, come here. I... I do need to talk," Angel Dust said, now sitting upright on the couch and holding Fat Nuggets in his lap.
Charlie smiled warmly, sitting next to Angel Dust. She squeezed onto one of his hands which made Angel feel so much better. He sighed.
A CRY FOR HELP
ANGEL: LIFE IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT
AND I GUESS I FUCKED UP
I JUST PUT ON A SMILE
AND FAKE IT
KNOWING THAT IT'LL WORK
FOR A WHILE
BUT A WHILE ISN'T ENOUGH
I CAN'T KEEP PRETENDING
I'M SO TOUGH
EVERY SINCE I LANDED
AND FELL IN HELL
LIFE HAS BEEN
EVERYTHING BUT WELL
I'VE RISKED IT ALL
JUST TO FALL
CONFLICTING EMOTIONS
SWEET SEDUCTIVE POTIONS
WHEN WILL IT EVER ENOUGH?
DAMN YOU, VAL
IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT
THE ABUSE YOU PUT ME THROUGH
NO MATTER HOW HARD I TRY
THERE'S NO STANDING UP TO YOU
I'VE TRIED AND TRIED AGAIN
BUT DEEPER IN THIS HELL
I'M DELVING IN
HOW THE HELL WILL I ESCAPE
THIS POISON NOW?
IT'S ALL MY FAULT
I'M TO BLAME
IF I WOULDN'T HAVE
SIGNED MY FUCKING NAME
NONE OF THIS WOULD'VE HAPPENED
I WOULDN'T FEEL THIS SHAME
I'M SCARED
IF I DON'T DO WHAT HE ASKS
IF I DON'T FULFILL HIS TASKS
WILL THE CONTRACT BE BROKEN
OR WILL I CONTINUE
LIVING UNSPOKEN
TRAPPED WITH NO ESCAPE?
I'M SCARED
BUT I NEED YOUR HELP
IF YOU COULD LEND ME YOUR HELP
IF YOU COULD LEND ME
YOUR FATHER'S HELP
MAYBE HE COULD END THE DEAL
CHARLIE: I could... talk to him, but I'm not sure what he could really do. I... I tried, but I failed too.
NONETHELESS YOU'RE SPECIAL
IN NO WAY WORTHLESS
YOU'RE AN EXTRAORDINARY INDIVIDUAL
YOUR FEELINGS ARE REAL
AND BY GOSH I'LL HELP YOU
END THIS SHITTY DEAL
ANGEL: Thanks, Charlie.
CHARLIE: Sure thing, Angel!
WHENEVER YOU NEED ME
I'LL BE RIGHT THERE
SO NO NEED TO BE SCARED
I'LL GET YOU PREPARED
(Music ends.)
Charlie ran off to call her dad. Almost instantly, Lucifer picked up.
"Charlie, great to be talking to you again! I'm kind of in the middle of something at the moment, but it can wait for some father-daughter time. You know, royal king shit. Nothing fun at all."
Lucifer chuckled awkwardly. "So what's up, my little ball of sunshine?" He asked.
"I have a favor to ask of you. And I know what you're thinking. It's all gonna go wrong and end up conveying the message we didn't intend to send to him. But I figured you could try."
"If this is Adam, then we're in some pretty deep shit," Lucifer said.
"Luckily it's not! You see, a friend of mine needs some help and I tried before, but let's just say it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows," Charlie said.
