A Missing Morningstar

Ch. 17 Back on the Hunt

Marie was walking down the streets of hell again back to the Cafe. 

"Oh boy... this isn't gonna go well..." She said to herself.

It then cut to her in her boss's office.

"What!? What do you mean your quitting!?", his boss angrily demanded slamming his hand on his desk.

"Sorry sir but those weirdos know I work here so for my own safety and health I have to find a different work place...", she said somberly yet serious.

"Fuck... first I almost get killed now I lose my best employee...", he vented as Marie exited the Cafe.

She began wondering the streets again, "Well back to job hunting...".

She wandering around the streets looking at various business buildings but sadly most weren't hiring...

However she saw a building titled "Carmine Crafts" that had a help wanted sign!

She walked through the building and it had a nice silver and white look to the interior.

She saw the lines of demons and joined them.

In the office was a tall slender demon with a ballerina like attire, Hair shaped into horns and Grey skin this is Carmilla Carmine the top arms dealer of hell.

Carmilla was in her office signing and filing some paperwork, doing interviews breaks occasionally.

So many interested not a single qualified though..

"Next!" She shouted as she signed some papers.

The next person to enter was the most unexpected person, so unexpected she didn't even comprehend this event.

Charlie Morningstar?

She gave her the side eye, "Uh... Why are you here??" She asked expressing her confusion.

"I'm Marie Magne and I'd like to work here." She happily explained.

Carmilla even more confused rotated her chair to look fully at Charlie.

"Okay. Charlie seriously what happened?" 

This sentence alone annoyed Marie so much!

"Ugh! Why does everyone call me Charlie!?" She said in pure frustration before marching out the room!

Carmilla then realized her mistake reached out her hand, "Wait!!!".

She charged after Marie and exited her building and looked around but saw no sign of Marie...

"May Hell have mercy on her soul..."

Back at the Hotel Vaggie and Angel were talking to each other.

"How did Charlie even get out? Weren't Razzle and Dazzle suppose to watch her?" Angel asked.

"I'll check on them." Vaggie responded blankly and went to her and Charlie's room but didn't find them.

"Weird..." She checked the bathroom and saw a tied up towel with something trying to get out!

She quickly ran up and untied it revealing the two dragon plushies.

"Charlie did this to you?" She said to the two plushie Dragons. 

Dazzle nodded. "Good grief...".

She took the two back to Angel. "Well Charlie tied them up..." She said petting them feeling bad for what happened to them..

Then the doors opened revealing a crying Lucifer. Vaggie and Angel got up, "Where's Charlie?" She asked but Lucifer just went to the bar, grabbed a bunch of bottles and started drinking.
