A/N:     Hey everyone! Sorry for the late chapter but my life has been really busy lately and this has helped me relax from everything I've been doing. Remember to comment (if you want) and vote. Enjoy!

Husk POV

I walk out of my office stretching my limbs. I head to the third floor and find Emery working on the electrical in a hidden floor panel, along with a few other workers cleaning up and setting tables.

I walk over to Emery, "How's it goin'?"

He shrugs, "Fine, I just had to make a few tweaks to it." He stands up after putting the panel back on the floor, handing me a flat remote that has a small screen.

Taking it, I press a green button that turns on the screen, pulling up different menus that lead from cameras to opening windows and such.

"This is great, I'm glad I have you. Couldn't ever done this without you." He just smiles softly before walking over to the bar.

I hear the elevator door open and turn around in time to see Riya... or Miya- I can't tell them apart-walks in, I can feel her nervousness roll off her in tons even though she looks calm.

Emery gives her a nod in greeting, "Hey Miya." Miya.

I walk over to her, "what is it?"

She motions to the elevator, "Alastor is here." I sigh and nod, heading down to the main entrance. Miya follows me down and I see Riya talking with Alastor.

"Husker!"

He walks over to us, "What're you doin' here Al?"

His eyes narrow, "Not much, I just came because I have to be here for later anyway." He hands out a hot container to me, "We had this for lunch today. You like meat right? You're a cat." I frown.

"Obviously, but... what is it?" I open the container to find a slice of delicious-smelling lasagna and a side of cheese and tomato slices(?).

He doesn't acknowledge my question and starts rambling about his Jambalaya being put off because of the Italian, along with how stupid Lucifer is. "He thinks that he can just walk in and say that we're having pancakes."

"Lucifer... Morningstar? The king of hell?" Alastor nods, his smile turning in rage, and shadows start to fall around the room. "...Right, well, why don't you help me with a few things since you're here early." I use the remote to open the glass panels that lead up to the other floors.

"What is that?"

"Technology's great isn't it?" I smile, Alastor's eye twitches at the mention of modern technology and I shrug, "Just saying." I spread my wings and fly up to the top floor, sliding over the railing that slides open when the glass floors open. Alastor follows behind me, using his shadows to boost him into the air.

I lead him to the fifth floor that's more of a storage area. I head down the long hallway and we go into a heavily protected room. The room is filled with plates and silverware made of gold and angelic materials that are saved for bigger parties for more important things.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Look at you Husker, getting all the fancy stuff." Alastor looks around and I chuckle.

"Carmila offered to make me some because I helped her with a few things." He gives me a look.

"What did you do to help her that got you hundreds of golden, angelic plates and silverware?" I shrug, it wasn't a big deal, I just to help her out by killing a few angels to get their weapons.

His eyes narrow. We quickly grab a tray full of plates and silverware. I had a few other souls take out the right amount for the other floors, and we grabbed the ones for the VIP floor (third floor).
