The next morning comes around, and Charlie calls for the crew to gather for breakfast. Lucifer decides to cook for everyone and makes his signature pancakes. He serves everyone a plate, except for Alastor who was instead given a steak.
His eyes glance down to the cooked meat before looking up to him.
"Feeling generous today?"
"I'll only do this once. Don't expect for it to be a common thing,"
The Radio Demon chuckles, "Oh no but of course not, wouldn't want to feel like I'm being poisoned everytime."
"Don't mock my cooking you ass!"
Charlie folds her arms, "Dad! Alastor! Stop it!"
The two turn away from each other quickly their flames and voodoo symbols dying down immediately. Lucifer takes a seat beside his daughter and just keeps his glare toward the Radio Demon who was no longer looking to his direction. He just sips on his coffee in silence as Charlie stands tall with her hands together.
"Okay! So, we have some good news to share with everyone and it will definitely pave a way for the hotel to keep going! Emily requested to meet with us in the heavenly embassy in the center of the city last night."
"No wonder I heard all that noise last night," Husk says with a growl.
"Right sorry about that,"
Angel speaks up,"Emily? She's the one angel that basically agreed with you right?"
Charlie nods her head, "Yes! She defended you during the trial and agreed with our idea of redemption. Speaking of which, the good news!"
She clears her throat and fondly smiles instead of bursting with joy, "Emily came to tell us that Sir Pentious is alive and that he was redeemed! He passed the gates meaning he was worthy of it! The hotel finally worked!"
Angel's eyes widen, "For real?!"
Cherri's eye closes tightly, "Holy shit...."
One of the egg boys jumps into her lap.
"Boss is alright..?"
Charlie nods her head, "Yes, Frank. Pentious is okay. He is safe and sound. Emily is doing her best to keep him safe, and to make sure Sera doesn't touch him. Now that we have definite proof of the hotel working, we can definitely keep going in trying! Angel you're going to be the next one. Promise. You're doing so well now, and we all know you are getting closer and closer to redemption. The only thing we need to really get out of the way is your deal with Valentino."
Angel flinches a bit, his hands rubbing against the other, "Do you even know how to break a deal Charlie...?"
Charlie turns to her father to see if he knew.
Lucifer sighs and folds his arms, "Unfortunately, deals are not necessarily something you can just step out of. The only other way would be if the owner performed an action that would be against your deal, it would render the deal null and void. Should that deal holder continue to try then we will need to have a trial of our own. What are the main points of your deal with him Angel?"
Angel rubs his arms, "He's....allowed to do whatever he wants to me in the studio....but when I'm outside of it, he's not permitted to control me in any way, like controlling where I go or what I do with other people."
Niffty jumps onto the table.
"Then what about the incident in the club? He hit you because you snapped at him." She points out.
Lucifer tilts his head a bit, "Oh so he actually did go beyond the contract you have...? I'd have to get a look at the actual physical contract. But he and the Vees don't seem to like this place anyway...."
