Husk POV

Angel avoids eye contact by staring at his pig. "If you want, you can go with Cherri Bomb."

Angel frowns finally looking up. "No, I'll stay... thank you." I shrug holding out my hand and he grabs it.

I pull him up and he puts the pig on the ground.

"I just need to grab a few things." I nod and head out the door, leaving Angel to himself. I worry little, but Angel can take care of himself.

As soon as I'm out the door, Misty and Raymond come over to me. "How's Angel Dust?" Misty asks, concern lacing her voice.

"Fine, he's just grabbing a few things." She nods and heads back to her group of workers.

I turn to Raymond and he just gives me a report, "we were able to get everyone out, Charlie, Alastor, and Rosie went back to the Hotel. Angel Dust's friend is still here though."

I nod, "okay, tell her to stay, I have something I want to—" I pause when I feel a small animal rub against my leg. I look down to find Angel Dust's pig rubbing against my leg. I look up to find its owner chuckling nervously from the worker's door.

Angel walks over to me and I pick up the pig, handing it back to him. While I hand him his pig my gaze slides past him to the plain white wall... well, at least it was white. "Raymond. What happened to my wall?"

Angel's hands touch mine as he grabs his pig but he doesn't notice as he turns around to look at the now colorful wall.

"Er..." I give Raymond a look.

"Raymond," I warn.

"The spider's friend brought out a bomb and threw it at the wall." Angel gives him a look at the nickname and I just sigh.

"It honestly looks better that way." He smiles and I head over to Cherri bomb who is scrolling through her phone complaining about wanting to blow up some stuff.

Angel sits next to her and Cherri looks up.

"If you want something to blow up I have a few ideas." Excitement flares in Cherri's eyes at the sound of getting to blow something up.

"Fuck yes! Let's go bitches!" Angel smiles before giving me a confused look.

Cherri stands up and Angel stands too, "Where?" He asks.

Cherri almost jumps excitement as I lead her and Angel to the elevator, "I'll be back in a few hours!" My voice carries through the mostly empty casino to workers that are listening before answering Angel who is now beside me, "I'm having another bar being built and we need to clear the other building because of its shit foundation."

"Haha!" Cherri moves quickly, and the two of us have to move even quicker to stay in front to lead her.

The streets of Hell are busy today, the line for the opening of my casino is already starting and it doesn't even open for another three hours. It's really early in the morning at five am.

Most would think it's too early to do anything; especially bombing, but all of us have been up since yesterday so it doesn't feel any different.

.

We make it to the crappy building, that's somehow still standing, after a few minutes. "It looks so nice... you sure this is the place you want me to destroy?" Cherri asks uncertainly.
